Galway Races goer turning heads despite night out story
Despite calling it a night at 5 am, Eva Morrisey returned to the racecourse only hours later in a stylish ensemble
A late night was no excuse for Limerick woman, Eva Morrisey, as she showed off her fabulous Ladies Day look the next morning at this year’s Galway Races.
Despite calling it a night at 5 am, the race-day regular returned to the racecourse only hours later in a stylish ensemble.
With the early opening of turnstiles at 11:15 am for Ladies Day, Eva stunned in an outfit she said was “high-fashion” but “kept the elegance as well.”
Laughing with RTE, Eva said, “I went to bed at 5 o’clock this morning, and here we are again doing it all over again!”
Having attended the races since she was 17-years-old, Eva says she “likes to experiment” with her outfits as she continues to amaze crowds with her unique looks.
“Caithriona King made the headpiece. I designed the outfit myself and Julie Caulfield made it. I can’t make, but I have it in my head. We collaborate and then we put it together.”
Eva shared that her original monochrome look was a two-piece, accentuated by classy accessories.
“It’s actually a black dress, with a tuxedo shirt underneath it. Then I just set it off with the tie, and an equine horse tie pin,” Eva explained.
A geography and history teacher at Castletroy College, Eva’s style has been recognised on many occasions, having won Most Stylish Lady at the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby in The Curragh in 2016 and Most Stylish Lady at Limerick Racecourse in 2013.
Taking home the coveted €10,000 Best Dressed Lady prize was 37-year-old Lisa Walsh, whose standout look captivated the judges with its elegance, originality and attention to detail.
The Dunboyne woman wowed the judges in a dress by ‘only one Ashley’, paired with a rented hat and handbag.
