Celebrities And Fashion Gurus To Judge The Bollinger Best Dressed At Punchestown Festival
No stone is being left unturned when it comes to the judges for the Bollinger Best Dressed Lady Competition at the Punchestown Festival, with celebrities and fashion gurus engaged. Daily judging panels will consist of a celebrity judge and a fashion and social editor or journalist. This unique combination of celebrity style know-how and race day appropriate fashion expertise is sure to see a most deserved winner deemed best dressed.
The opening day on Tuesday 24th will see Made in Chelsea star Rosie Fortescue and Sunday Independent Life Magazine journalist Sophie White take to the enclosures to seek out the most stylish ladies in attendance. Rosie commented “I am so excited to visit Punchestown and see all the stylish ladies competing for such an enviable title and prize by Bollinger. It’s going to be such a fun day, I can’t wait!”
On Wednesday 25th, day two of the festival, Dancing with the Stars and GAA Sweetheart Anna Geary and TV personality and fashion journalist Triona McCarthy will be judging. Anna said “I’m delighted to be involved with the judging of this year’s Bollinger Best Dressed Lady Competition at the Punchestown Festival. Fashion at the races is always a focal point, especially at Punchestown, so I know judging is not going to be an easy task but I’m looking forward to the challenge and I can’t wait to see all the fabulous ladies and all the style on the day.”
RTÉ’s Bláthnaid Treacy will judge with Evoke.ie Editor Sybil Mulcahy on Thursday 26th as the competition really heats up. When speaking of the upcoming event, Sybil Mulcahy commented “I will be looking out for a lady who looks elegant and confident and I love a pop of colour. It’s a long day so comfort is key and dress for the weather, if its lashing rain a strappy sundress won’t fit the occasion nor will a full length bridesmaids gown. I am really looking forward to seeing all the beautiful style on the day and for me a statement hat to finish an outfit is always a winner.”
The grand final on Friday 27th will be judged by the gorgeous model Aoife Walsh alongside Social and Personal Editor, PJ Gibbons and Bollinger Champagne’s very own Bastien Mariani. Their chosen winner of the 2018 Bollinger Best Dressed Lady Competition at Punchestown will receive a VIP trip for two taking in the Bollinger Estate, Reims and Paris complete with private chauffeur, Michelin-starred dining and luxury accommodation, not to mention a year’s supply of Bollinger to top it all off!
Not to be forgotten the finalists on each day will each receive a luxury goodie bag filled with luxurious treats including Topflight vouchers, race day tickets, Cocoa Brown Tanning gifts and much more! Registration is not required for the competition as fashion scouts and judges search the enclosures to seek out the most stylish ladies each day.
