Divine doctor leaves rivals feeling blue

IT was a case of midnight blue making an elegant afternoon impact as the Evian Ladies Day brought a sea of glitz and glamour to the Fáilte Ireland Dublin Horse Show yesterday.

Karen O’Connor, a 26-year-old doctor of psychiatry at St Patrick’s Hospital, Dublin, and a native of Ardmore, Co Waterford, was named the best dressed lady at the showpiece event.

“I’m delighted. It’s great,” said Karen, who wore a midnight blue navy silk dress by American designer Diane Von Furstenberg, which she purchased on the internet.
