The Style Awards honoured the best-dressed racegoers who stole the show at Ladies Day 2026. Every year, thousands turn up to the world-renowned racecourse, putting their fashion foot forward with the best looks from the day going down in Grand National style history.<\/p>\n

Hannah Smith, 29, from Edinburgh, was honoured with the prestigious best-dressed award for her Leyna dress and Millinery by Mel headwear. The winner of best suited went to Euan Perryman, 22, from Huyton<\/a>, who wore a custom-made Loro Piana ensemble.<\/p>\n

Sarah Williams, 46, from St Helens<\/a>, won best hat thanks to her piece from Gilly’s Millinery. Debenhams ambassador and internationally acclaimed milliner, Lisa Tan, social media star, Josie Peaches, and The Guide Liverpool presenter, Rachael Rhodes, judged the awards today.<\/p>\n

Since Hannah was named as the best dressed, she bagged herself an “Insta-worthy trip” for two to sunny Ibiza and two garden club tickets to the Randox Grand National 2027.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the win, Hannah told the ECHO: “I am so buzzing. I am so excited. It’s such a nice prize to win so I am so happy.” This year is Hannah’s second visit to the Grand National.<\/p>\n

Discussing her style inspiration, she said: “I found the jacket and skirt first on Vinted from Leyna Dresses and I loved it. I pieced the fascinator and shoes and bag around it. I love something a bit different that no one else would have.”<\/p>\n

Hannah’s Vinted finds came to roughly \u00a3170 while the fascinator was around \u00a3180. Her bag cost between \u00a320 to \u00a325 while her shoes, which she has owned for “ages”, were around \u00a320.<\/p>\n

Euan paid \u00a32,500 for his custom-made Italian suit, which arrived after a five week wait. Euan wore his suit to last year’s Ladies Day event but never got a chance to enter the awards.<\/p>\n

Walking away as this year’s winner, he said: “I thought there’s no point ordering a new suit because this is the best I could possibly make.<\/p>\n

“I went in with full confidence. As soon as I walked through the gates people were like ‘Are you going to enter best-dressed?’ and I said I was already on my way.”<\/p>\n

Sarah, who won best hat, is a repeat customer from Gilly’s Millinery. She said: “I saw this hat and thought I had to have it and that was my inspiration for my outfit for today.<\/p>\n

“In this instance, the hat was the wow factor and everything fit in around it.”<\/p>\n

Fellow winner Lucas Nurney, from Barnsley, wore an entirely-ASOS outfit which impressed the judges.<\/p>\n

There was also an award category for sustainability at last year’s event, which was won by Rachel Ellis who wore a dress that was sourced second-hand from Vinted, but which was originally sold by Nobody’s Child and made from recycled fabric.<\/p>\n

She styled the sustainable dress with a handbag from Lulu Guinness and a hat that she made herself from vintage flowers and which was originally created for her niece, but which she borrowed for the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Style Awards honoured the best-dressed racegoers who stole the show at Ladies Day 2026.
