Maria does it her way to bloom at Ballybrit

RACY Maria McCullen had to break all the rules to land the title of Best Dressed Lady at the Galway Festival yesterday.

Looking stunning in an off-the-shoulder, flowing white top, black leather pants and an outrageous floral hat, the 28-year-old foot specialist from Stamullen, Co Meath, threw away the rule book by wearing a pair of multi-coloured high heels.

“I suppose it’s all right to wear them for a day but I always advise the people who come to my clinic to stick with flat-heeled shoes,” said Maria, who runs the Navan Foot and Ankle centre.
