Lottie and Arthur are keeping coy about their criteria for selecting the day’s lady and gent deserving of  the coveted Dubai Duty Free Most Stylish title in association with The K Club. Arthur said: “We’ll be on the lookout for people who have brought their A-Game to the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby this year. The theme is Playful Glamour so it’s no place for wallflowers, go ahead and have some real fun with it. Experiment, be bold and wear your chosen outfit with pride!’ Lottie added: “It’s not just what you wear, it’s how you wear it. Choose something that represents your playful side and wear it with confidence. We want everyone there to be having fun and feeling like a million euro!”

 

Commenting on the excitement around this year’s Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby, Sinead El Sibai, Senior Vice President Marketing, Dubai Duty Free said: “We are always happy to return to the Curragh Racecourse for the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby. The festival is a glamorous and fun affair where the best horses in the world compete for derby glory and of course, as we know, it’s highly competitive on the fashion front too!  It’s wonderful to see the great style and effort that people make to put their best and most ‘fashionable foot’ forward.  We are very much looking forward to seeing all the style and fashion on the day.”
