Anna Rose is Best Dressed at Kilbeggan Races Virtual Ladies Day

Anna Rose Drumm was awarded Best Dressed Lady at the Kilbeggan Races Bellamianta Luxury Tanning & The Wineport Lodge Virtual Ladies Day recently.

Judged by Bellamainta Luxury Tanning founder, Linda Stinson, the annual glamorous outing was replaced with a virtual addition this year, which saw over 100 entrants show off their fabulous wears on social media, all vying for the winning prize.

The ultimate winner was 33-year-old Anna Rose Drumm, a dental hygienist originally from Ballyconnell in Cavan, now living in Carrick-on-Shannon. She was wearing a flowing bronze dress from ASOS, her headpiece was by Sinead B Millinery, iClothing Shoes and finished off with a clutch from The Dress House.

Anna Rose received prizes from Bellamianta Luxury Tanning, The Wineport Lodge and other participating brands, worth in excess of €3,000, with 10 finalists securing fabulous goodie bags from Irelands’ number one tan.

Speaking about her win and the changes COVID-19 has had on traditional Ladies Day affairs, Anna Rose said: “I am elated to have won Best Dressed at the Kilbeggan Races Virtual Ladies Day in association with Bellamianta Luxury Tanning and The Wineport Lodge, and as if the honour of winning wasn’t enough the phenomenal prize package is something else!

“The wonderful Sinead B Millinery and I had so much fun creating a glamorous autumnal ensemble, I adore Sinead's work as her designs are unique and comfortable with a superb rental option which is great for Virtual Ladies Day events. Not only is Sinead one of the loveliest people I have ever met her talent shines through her work and as a fashion design graduate her attention to detail and finish is exquisite.

"The pandemic has physically hindered us in our gatherings but thankfully due to our advances in technology and the world of social media it hasn’t taken from the Ladies Day experience but rather brought out our creative side to present ourselves in the virtual world."

She concluded: “With current restrictions I find myself most fortunate to have the stunning Lough Rynn Castle on my doorstep, a perfectly matched setting capturing fabulous pictures reflecting seasonal style. From snapping pics in kitchens to back gardens in Ladies Day attire the experience is a very different but definitely most enjoyable. Thank you again to Kilbeggan Races for organising such an amazing online event”.

Her prize included Bellamianta Luxury Tanning products for her and a friend worth €1,000, a stay in the Champagne Suite in the Wineport Lodge with treatments, an exclusive whitening hamper from celebrity favourite dental care brand, Polished London, and a full consultation personal training sessions with celebrity trainer to the stars Paul Byrne of Bodybyrne.

In addition, she received an exclusive hamper of products from Global Beauty, Hairtalk Hair Extensions to the value of €500, and €500 towards a Diamond Makeup Course at the Prestigious Sharleen Collins Academy.
