Winner Alright! Who would you pick as Bollinger Best Dressed at Punchestown?

The Bollinger Best Dressed finalists

The winner of the Bollinger Best Dressed today at Punchestown was Michael Walsh from Monkstown in Dublin. 

The CEO of a Crypto Currency Business was in attendance with his wife Therese and friends. 

Wearing a bespoke tailor-made Irish Tweed suit he caught the eye of The Style Council from early doors.

Teamed with a lilac equine inspired tie which he purchased at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and a dusky pink shirt. 

The 58 year old was thrilled with his win, he wore the suit because his father always wore a tweed suit racing and his favourite champagne is Bollinger so he would love to win the overall prize on Friday.

He is fast tracked to the final where he will join Wednesday and Thursday winners with five finalists on Friday picked from the crowd on the day.

The Style Council today of Lawson Mpame, Suzie O’Neill and Sarah Battle lead by Jess Colivet were torn, each with their favourites finding it hard to whittle it down to just five finalists. “Michael oozes sophistication, standing out as a confident stylish individual and dressing is all about attitude and feeling comfortable and confident, he owned that outfit and had a real presence. Bollinger’s mantra is timeless taste timeless style of which Michael Walsh has in abundance.”
