Speaking about her win and the changes COVID-19 has had on traditional Ladies Day affairs, Anna Rose said, “I am elated to have won Best Dressed at the Kilbeggan Races Virtual Ladies Day in association with Bellamianta Luxury Tanning and The Wineport Lodge.
“As If the honour of winning wasn’t enough, the phenomenal prize package is something else!
“The wonderful Sinead B Millinery and I had so much fun creating a glamorous Autumnal ensemble. I adore Sinead’s work as her designs are unique and comfortable with a superb rental option which is great for Virtual Ladies Day events.
“Not only is Sinead one of the loveliest people I have ever met her talent shines through her work and as a fashion design graduate her attention to detail and finish is exquisite.
“The pandemic has physically hindered us in our gatherings but thankfully due to our advances in technology and the world of social media it hasn’t taken from the Ladies Day experience but rather brought out our creative side to present ourselves in the virtual world.
“With current restrictions I find myself most fortunate to have the stunning Lough Rynn Castle on my doorstep, a perfectly matched setting capturing fabulous pictures reflecting seasonal style.
“From snapping pics in kitchens to back gardens in Ladies Day attire the experience is a lot different but definitely most enjoyable: thank you again to Kilbeggan Races for organising such an amazing online event.”
