The spiritual home of the Panama, Goodwood has always had its own distinctive style and this year sees the return of the popular L’Ormarins Best Dressed Competition at the Qatar Goodwood Festival on Friday 29 July.
JUL 07th 2016
Best Dressed at the Qatar Goodwood Festival 2016
The prize is a trip of a lifetime to the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate in South Africa and this year the judges – which include Bethan Holt, Digital Fashion Editor for the Telegraph, Leigh Johnson, founder and designer of Laylaleigh Millinery and a number of L’Ormarins representatives – will be looking for an exquisitely dressed lady wearing the signature L'Ormarins blue and white.
The competition is the perfect opportunity for ladies to show off this season’s latest fashion. The summer garden party atmosphere lends itself to beautiful floaty dresses and chic hats; ‘Glorious Goodwood’ epitomises laid-back glamour.
To be selected as a finalist and for a chance to win this unique prize to attend the L'Ormarins Queen’s Plate race meeting in Cape Town, ladies will need to show that their polished look echoes the magnificence of the racing at Goodwood.
The prize on offer for two people includes:
- Airport transfers and transfers to all L'Ormarins Queen’s Plate arranged elements of the package (i.e. all below).
- 6 nights’ accommodation at a top hotel in Cape Town.
- A tour of L’Ormarins Estate, Drakenstein Stud Farm, wine tasting with Anthonij Rupert Wyne and lunch at the farm.
- Lunch at The Grand Beach Cafe.
- Invitations to any official L'Ormarins Queen’s Plate events.
- Two tickets to the L’Ormarins Luncheon at the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate.
- Return Premium Economy flights from London to Cape Town.
Adam Waterworth, Managing Director for Goodwood Racecourse said,
It’s been two years now, since the first time we hosted the Best Dressed Ladies competition and it’s great to see it go from strength to strength with the number of glamorous ladies in blue and white outfits increasing each year. The prize is a trip of a lifetime to South Africa in January 2017 and we extend a special thank you to our sponsors L’Ormarins for providing such a great prize each year.
We look forward to welcoming our racegoers for another tremendous Qatar Goodwood Festival week.”
Katherine Gray, L'Ormarins Queen's Plate said,
"This is the third consecutive year of the L’Ormarins and Goodwood association in England and South Africa respectively. We are very happy and honoured to have this partnership and as it continues to grow we look forward to welcoming visitors from all around the world, especially friends of Goodwood, to our blue and white day in Cape Town. Once again we invite all race goers attending Goodwood on Friday to dress in blue and white and stand a chance to win a dream trip to Cape Town to the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate in January."
