Local lady Niamh Greene brings Style to the Races

August 9, 2011 - Bestselling author and TV personality Amanda Brunker was on the lookout for the most stylish ladies at the Littlewoods Ireland Best Dressed Lady at Wexford Racecourse on Saturday last, 23rd July and she wasn't left wanting! Amanda knows a thing or two about fashion and was very impressed with the style of the Wexford ladies, speaking after the event she said "The sun was out in Wexford – as was the style! There were a huge number of gorgeous women and picking my ten finalists was tough, I could have easily chosen twenty-five! The finalists were fabulous and represented a good range of ages and styles, I chose Niamh as my winner as she was particularly cute and quirky with an effortless style – and she smiled from start to finish!"

Geoff Scully, Commercial Director, Littlewoods Ireland commented "We're delighted to be involved again with the summer racing season and the Best Dressed Ladies Series. Our celebrity judge Amanda Brunker was on the lookout for Ireland's most stylish ladies in Wexford and they really lived up to expectations. The style stakes were high and Amanda had a tough decision to make! We congratulate Niamh on her unique winning outfit"

Michael Murphy, Manager of Roscommon expressed his delight at the day "Today was a huge success; we had a far bigger crowd than expected. I don't know much about fashion but I saw lots of beautifully dressed ladies. It was wonderful to have Amanda with us today and thank you to Littlewoods Ireland for bringing the Ladies Day to Wexford again this year.Our congratulations to Niamh on a well deserved win"

The winner on the day was Niamh Greene, a stylish lady from Ballymore Co Wexford. Niamh wore a black dress with a layered skirt from Ruby Rouge, Gorey and accessories from Glamorize in Gorey. Niamh was thrilled to have won "It was a great day, everyone was so nice coming up and congratulating me. I really was delighted with the win and the €2000 voucher for Littlewoods's Ireland."
