2024 RDS Dublin Horse Show Best Dressed Competition

The 2024 RDS Dublin Horse Show Best Dressed competition took place yesterday at the Band Lawn of the RDS, where over 300 people took to the stage dressed in their best in hopes of securing the top prize of €10,000 in cash sponsored by 1664 Blanc. 

Well-known faces including TV Presenter Laura Woods, RTÉ 2FM presenter Fionnuala Moran and judges 1664 Blanc ambassador Clémentine MacNeice and fashion doyenne Bairbre Power enjoyed a day of socialising and fashion as the sun shined down on the Band Lawn as the winners were announced. 

Over 300 people took to the Best Dressed stage and shared their look with MC Laura Woods and the two judges.

Many availed of a makeup touch-up by makeup artists from Irish beauty brand KASH Beauty.

Sustainability dominated the stage with hats created from recycled straws and outfits either upcycled or borrowed from rental stores or cherished vintage pieces passed down through generations.
