Ciara Toolen was announced as the overall winner of Best Dressed at the 2024 Punchestown Festival on Friday.
All week, style scouts were tasked with finding the most stylish attendees at the racecourse, with finalists being selected each day ahead of the grand final on Ladies Day.
In association with Bollinger, the competition was open to those who caught the eye of the Style Council members by dressing with elegance, creativity and confidence.
The sustainability and appropriateness of outfits were also considered.
Ciara Toolen from Dublin, who was fast tracked to the final on Tuesday, emerged victorious as the overall winner of the Bollinger Best Dressed Competition at Punchestown.
Her outfit featured a stunning hat by Linda Fleming from Wexford, a chic suit by Balmain, a stylish coat by Reiss, and a beautifully crafted blouse by Irish designer Aoife McNamara.
Ciara has won a ‘money can’t buy’ trip of a lifetime to the home of Bollinger for her and a guest.
The trip includes business class flights to Paris, five-star hotel accommodation, Michelin Star dining, and a private chauffeur.
In addition, they will enjoy an exclusive Champagne Bollinger experience including private tour of the cellars, vineyards, gardens, house, an overnight stay in the beautiful capital of the champagne region Reims, and one year’s supply of Bollinger.
