Dublin woman wins 'Best Dressed' at the Dublin Horse Show 2026
Dublin woman Pamela Ryan was announced as the winner of this year's Best Dressed competition.
Pamela Ryan, a Dublin woman, has been declared the winner of the Best Dressed competition at the Dublin Horse Show 2026. Held at the RDS on Thursday, the event attracted 472 contestants. Ryan's vibrant co-ord ensemble earned her the title and a €10,000 cash prize. Overwhelmed by the recognition, she expressed her surprise, saying she was still shaking from the shock.
A digital content creator with 20.6K Instagram followers, Ryan opted for a colorful two-piece from CompleteLook.ie in Craughwell, Co Galway, accompanied by a gold headpiece designed by Cara Meehan. Her shoes were obtained from a charity shop, her handbag from Irish designer Repeat Edit by Camila, and her earrings from We Are Glow Jewellery.
Competing against 472 others, Ryan's outfit was praised by the judges for its impeccable attention to detail. The judges also revealed that the winning look nearly didn't make it to the RDS, as Ryan had to retrieve it from her local An Post depot earlier that morning. Other notable winners included Laura Engele from Dundalk, who took the Best Dressed Runner-Up title for her stylish pink dress, and Aisling McCarthy from Cork, who was awarded the Most Creative Hat for her unique creation made from newspaper, grass, and stones.
