Watch: Lady in red Siobhán wows at Killarney Races

Swamp Fox won the feature race, the €26,000 Dawn Milk Handicap on Ladies Day at Killarney Races yesterday, but there was no outfoxing, or even outdancing judges Aidan O’Mahony and Thalia Heffernan who said they were “ swamped” with style.

The judges met on Dancing with the Stars and while model Thalia was a dab hand, and an old head at judging the style, Aidan said it was his first time and it was a lot more difficult than he thought. Two local entrants walked away with the awards. A red and gold outfit sported by HSE clerical officer Siobhán McCarthy stole the show for Thalia in the ladies category; while Aidan’s choice was the purple suit, the blue shoes, and the grey hat of insurance agent Gavin O’Leary.

In a great coincidence, Siobhán ‘s red and cream hat was designed by last year’s winner Agne Kremeneskiene, while her lace dress was bought online for about €150 from Asos. The gold shoes and bag were from Debenhams.
