It was a hugely stylish affair at Killarney Racecourse on Sunday afternoon as organisers of Recovery Haven Kerry’s Look Good Feel Good Designer Fashion Showcase got together to officially launch their exciting Best Dressed Lady and Gent Competitions ahead of the much-anticipated April 3 event at the Gleneagle INEC Arena.

Already billed as the fashion event of 2025 in Kerry - hosted by designer to the stars Don O’Neill – a highlight of the event will undoubtedly be the best dressed lady and gent competitions, with organisers pulling out all the stops to secure some amazing prizes for the overall winners.
The lucky best dressed lady on the night will receive a phenomenal €1,000 holiday voucher, courtesy of Abbeydorney-based TLI Group, while the board of Killarney Race Company are offering the the best dressed gent Dual Membership of the exclusive Killarney Racegoers Club for 2025. And organisers are taking no chances when it comes to selecting the winners, enlisting a celebrity judging panel to do the honours on the night.
“We are so delighted to have Tadhg and Derry Fleming join forces with the wonderful Helen Quealy Murphy (DailyDivaDiary) to judge the best dressed lady and gent competitions,” said Recovery Haven’s PR & Marketing Officer, Marisa Reidy. “Knowing the exceptional style that the men and women of Kerry bring to events like this, we don’t envy the judges, but we know they will do a super job and are so grateful to all three for giving their time to be with us.”
Marisa also paid tribute to TLI Group and Killarney Race Company, who are sponsoring the amazing prizes on the night.
“We are always blown away by the generosity of the businesspeople of Kerry towards Recovery Haven, and yet again both TLI Group and Killarney Race Company have overwhelmed us with their generosity. These prizes are exceptional, and we are so truly grateful. We are really looking forward to seeing the style on the night, given the amazing prizes up for grabs.”
In addition to the prestigious best dressed competitions, show producer Norma O’Donoghue has secured renowned designers such as Synan O’Mahony, Catriona Hanly, Marion Murphy Cooney, Claire Garvey, Cathy Troth and Tina Griffin among others to add the glitz and glamour of the night, while the show will also feature a number of top boutiques including MacBees, Scarlett, Hannons, Pheonix V and Lily Mais.
This year, organisers have also opted to combine the fashion element of the show with a wellbeing/wellness theme, where Don O’Neil will host a very special fireside chat with some incredible guests, including top professional model Thalia Heffernan, three-time Olympian and health and fitness expert, Derval O’Rourke and leadership coach and former Network Ireland Kerry President, Linda O’Mahony Logan.
