Get ready, because one of the hottest events of the summer is just around the corner, and it’s demanding your ultimate outfit. The Dublin Horse Show, a long-standing tradition since 1864, is back at the RDS. Thousands will once again gather in Ireland’s capital to witness international show jumping at its finest. Mark your calendars for August 14th to 18th—you definitely won’t want to miss it.

Aside from the dazzling display of equestrian talent, this event promises great food, fancy cocktails, and some of the world’s most stunning horses. The Dublin Horse Show is renowned as one of the top equestrian events globally, but there's more to it than just the horses.

Enter the Best Dressed competition—a fabulous affair that brings glamour to the forefront. Happening tomorrow, Thursday, August 15th, attendees will be dressing to impress, with extravagant outfits and accessories taking centre stage. It’s all about standing out, especially in the Best Dressed contest, where the prizes are as impressive as the fashion.

This year’s Best Dressed competition, in partnership with 1664 Blanc, is all about style with a modern twist. Known as the chic member of the Kronenbourg family, 1664 Blanc combines its storied history with a contemporary flair, offering a unique and fashionable drinking experience.

Expect notes of citrus and a touch of French sophistication, making this beer as stylish as the outfits on display. With its crisp taste and pearly golden hue, 1664 Blanc is the perfect complement to an event full of elegance and excitement.

There are four top prizes up for grabs, so don’t hold back. Think bold, think creative, and you could be walking away a winner.
