The jam-packed festival of fashion and horse-racing is set to be an exciting weekend to remember for all who attend

As a supporter of premium sports all over the world including golf, tennis and horse racing, one of the standout sporting events which Dubai Duty Free sponsors has to be the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby.

Taking place every year at the Curragh Racecourse, the race attracts the very best horses and jockeys in the world. The whole weekend of fashion, fun and heart-pounding action takes place from 27-29 June at the Kildare track, with the Irish Derby race on the Sunday.

Style highlights


The Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby Day also features the Best Dressed Competition with a fabulous prize up for grabs. Celebrity chef, presenter and author, Clodagh McKenna (main picture), will lead the charge in the search for the Best Dressed Person on the day.

The stylish judge will be ably assisted in her endeavours by her fellow judges, Alpana Cidambi and fashion and lifestyle journalist, Bairbre Power.

Best Dressed will win a fabulous array of prizes courtesy of Dubai Duty Free, including return flights for two to Dubai with five glorious nights in Dubai Duty Free’s own five-star hotel, The Jumeirah Creekside, and €1,000 spending money at the award-winning airport retailer.
