Clare woman Olive Foley beat over 80 other competitors to take The Most Stylish Lady title with a creative and colourful outfit. Olive is the widow of late legendary Irish rugby player and Munster rugby manager Anthony Foley and she took the title with her colourful Amelia Wixted dress and Joanne Skelly hat.
