The most stylish ladies and gentlemen flocked to Killarney over the weekend for the glamorous Killarney Races.
The O’Donoghue Ring Collection, home to renowned hotels, bars and restaurants in Kerry, including Killarney Plaza Hotel & Spa, Café du Parc and Pig’s Lane, sponsored the biggest day on the calendar, Best Dressed Day.
And two of Ireland’s most prominent lifestyle personalities, James Patrice and Lisa Jordan, were on hand to judge the collection’s Best Dressed Day on Saturday, 23rd August, as it continues its proud partnership with the Killarney Races.
Set against the backdrop of Ireland’s most scenic racecourse, the three-day August Festival marks the final flourish of summer and welcomes in the autumn.
Killarney woman Bláthnaid Leen, who was celebrating her fifth wedding anniversary, was crowned Best Dressed Lady with her beautiful structured two-piece.
The statement bodice and matching skirt from Australian designer, Acler.
A race ensemble wouldn’t be complete without a statement hat and Bláthnaid certainly went with a head-turning look. We’re truly in love.
She wasn’t the only winner on the day as the dapper Sean O’Donovan was named Best Dressed Man with his stunning pink suit which he paired with his grandmother’s brooch.
They were chosen from over 3,000 attendees at the festival’s grand finale, the duo wowed celebrity judges James Patrice and Lisa Jordan with their standout style and meaningful attention to detail.
Both winners were awarded a luxurious, activity-filled three-night stay at the iconic Killarney Plaza Hotel & Spa, presented by Brian Lawlor, Group General Manager of the O’Donoghue Ring Collection.
