Champagne and sparkling rosé flowed while pink Evian iced buns were nibbled as Evian Ladies Day 2008 took place at The Fáilte Ireland Dublin Horse Show in the RDS last week.

Guests in the Evian VIP room included RTE’s Laura Woods and Pamela Flood, TV3’s Alan Hughes and TV Chef Andrew Rudd, TV3’s Colette Fitzpatrick and Glenda Gilson as well as well-known fashionista Lisa Fitzpatrick and top tailor Louis Copeland.

This was the third Evian Ladies Day, an event synonymous with style, glamour, outrageous hats and a great day out for everyone who enters. Evian Ladies Day was judged by fashion follower Caroline Morahan and couturier Synan O’Mahony and MC for the day was Xposés Aisling O’Loughlin.

Six prizes were handed out at Evian Ladies Day. The Best dressed lady title was won by Dublin born Alison Garvey. Her amazing sense of style and unusual head-wear saw her walk away with the top prize worth over €10,000 which includes a shopping trip to the style capital of the world – Paris and a relaxing weekend at the Evian Royal resort.

The two highly commended winners, Evelyn Sheedy, Kildare and Veronica Walsh, Navan, each l received a €500 voucher from House of Fraser. The best dressed man title went to Lorcan Hanlon who won a stylish Louis Copeland suit and the most creative hat winner, Alyse Gaynor, took home a €250 voucher from House of Fraser. Unique to Evian Ladies Day is the Pretty in Pink category and the lucky winner, 76-year-old Mary Tiernan from Navan, received a stunning diamond encrusted Longines watch.
