What will you wear to Ladies Day in 2008? Epsom's Ladies Day is rapidly becoming one of the spectacular sporting and social events of the summer season.
Racegoers can enter our popular 'Style on The Downs' competition by visiting our Style Stable in the Derby Village in the Grandstand Enclosure before 1pm. Grandstand and Queen's Stand ladies wearing suitable racing attire and a hat or fascinator will be eligible to enter. The prize for the 2008 winner will be a brand new Jeep.
A panel of judges will then select finalists to be entered into the live final which takes place in the Winner's Enclosure and is broadcast on the BBC.
The judges will be looking for the lady whose outfit fills the following criteria:
- Style and originality
- Attention to detail
- Suitability of outfit for racing
- Appreciation of the current fashion trends
The 2007 results
Leading figures from the world of fashion combed the course as our 'Style Spotters' looking for the most stylish person of the day as part of the Style on the Downs competition.
Tara O'Callaghan, society milliner, Claire Dwyer, Face of the Festival and Emma Trayner of Per Una had a tough job but finally chose 6 stunning finalists. Another 4 finalists were chosen from the registration area in our 'Style Stable' in the Vodafone Village.
