The results are in for the ‘Best Dressed’ ladies from last weeks’ Punchestown Festival of Racing in Co. Kildare Ireland.

Despite the relentless April showers and chilly temperatures, we were overjoyed to see a very stylish turnout of dedicated race-goers for the Best Dressed Lady competitions!

Judged on the appropriateness of the outfit, elegance and sophistication by a panel of fashion forward judges and X Factor mentor Louis Walsh; below we show you the winners of the coveted Coast Best Dressed prizes…

DAY 1 WINNER NAOSIE PELIN: Lovely in lemon!

DAY 2 WINNER LOUISE KEATLEY: Elegant in refined tailoring

DAY 3 WINNER MARIA OSBORNE: Bold and beautiful in brights

 OVERALL BEST DRESSED at PUNCHESTOWN 2012 JENNIE PIERCE: Dressing to impress…

Jennie was presented with a magnum of Laurent Perrier, a giant bouquet of flowers on being crowned overall ‘Best Dressed’ lady. The jet set shopping spree with a friend to Coast in New York, Madrid and London, hotels and flights included with a generous €1000 to be spent in each store is hers to enjoy!

Louis Walsh commented, “I spotted Jennie almost immediately, she stood out as a Best Dressed for me because of the bright colour she wore and the sophistication she wore the outfit with. The nicest thing was, she didn’t even realise how fabulous she was! She’s a really deserving winner.”

TREND REPORT: A NIGHT AT THE BAFTAS

February 13, 2012 in: Trend Report

Covent Garden’s Royal Opera House saw a very glamorous gathering on the red carpet for the 65th British Academy Film Awards last night. Michel Hazanavicius’s silent film The Artist was firmly in the limelight and swept the board and winning a total of seven awards including the prestigious title of ‘Best Film’. 

                

The trends on the Red Carpet were predominantly refined and classic; with floor-sweeping maxi’s and a subtle monochrome palette reigning supreme. 

We have hand-picked a few of our favourite looks to inspire some decadent dressing for any looming celebrations in your diary that require some Red Carpet appeal

Christina Hendricks wore a stunning Vivienne Westwood gown with a structured corset style bodice and voluminous asymmetric shoulder detail. 

                                    

Work this fabulous, feminine look with our Savannah Maxi Dress (pictured left) and the Shylo Jersey Maxi Dress  (pictured right) for an effortlessly elegant aesthetic.  

              

‘Best Actress’ Meryl Streep was the epitome of sophistication in her Vivienne Westwood ensemble. Her luxurious bolero- style cover up was an ideal accessory for the red carpet and added the perfect amount of after-dark drama to her look…
