Listowel Races Ladies Day : Monochrome Elegance wins on kaleidoscope of colour day
Siobhan Kennedy (Tournafulla, Limerick) was crowned Best Dressed Lady on Style Stakes Sunday at the Listowel June Bank Holiday Festival Races on Sunday 1st of June 2025. It was a winner alright for Siobhan, who has been coming to Listowel Races for 15 years but never won a Ladies day title when her classic, full length black and white jumpsuit from Pure Boutique and a hat rented from Anne Marie Hats Amore caught the eye of judge, designer to the stars, Don O’Neill. As the winner of Style Stakes Sunday, she was presented with a €500 cash prize as well as generous gift bags sponsored by McGuire’s Pharmacy and a pair of exclusively designed earrings by Mary Mulhall, Inish Designs.
The joint runners-up were Sheila Casey (Coolegrane, Brosna) and Aine Wall (Derrymore West, Tralee), who both won €250 in cash, alongside gift bags from McGuire’s Pharmacy and a pair of exclusively designed earrings by Mary Mulhall, Inish Designs.
Sunshine greeted racegoers on the course, and the style was out in force, with the rain clouds kept at bay by the buzz and excitement on the day.
Judge Don O’Neill was out and about on the racecourse from 2pm looking for his finalists and after alot of deliberation, he selected 9 women of all ages and 4 beautifully attired juniors. Before the overall winner was announced, each finalist was interviewed on stage by Don O’Neill, with every stylish story only making his final choice feel harder!
Sheila Casey, runner-up, wore a dress from Rose and Crown Boutique Tralee and a headpiece by local designer Teresa Linehan from Brosna. Aine Wall, runner up, wore a headpiece by Cathriona King Galway, a suit from Canella Lane, and a gorgeous bag scouted in her local charity shop.
