Two County Derry ladies were amongst the top ten finalists at Down Royal’s Summer Festival of Racing.

Janet Hastings and Audrey Tuck, from Magherafelt, were selected as two of Down Royal's best dressed ladies at the annual event, held on June 21.

Faith Amond from Co. Carlow claimed the prestigious title of Best Dressed Lady.

Her winning outfit featured a skirt from Emporium Kalu, Jacket by Irish designer Roisin Linnane, headpiece from Elite in Warrenpoint, bag from Roisin Antica found in a local charity shop and shoes from LK Bennett. She walked away with a £3,000 voucher from Younique Aesthetics Clinic to be used at any of their Belfast, Holywood or Newry clinics.

The judging panel – made up of Áine Larkin, Clinical Director at Younique Aesthetics Clinic, Rebecca McKinney, Cool FM presenter and fashion commentator, and Gemma Garrett, make-up artist and media personality – praised the incredible standard of entries across all three categories.
