Liz looked very elegant in a white suit, which she said is a trusty piece in her wardrobe and has had several days out at the races over the years. Liz's look was a celebration of Irish fashion with her headpiece from Caithriona King Millinery and her suit by designer, Julie Caulfield in Kilmore Quay, Wexford.
“I couldn't believe it, I'm so amazed,” said Liz. 'I've worn this suit so many times to different races so it's very sustainable. I've had so much wear out of it and I really love it. It's warm and still looking pretty good. I've been going to the races for many years and am just delighted to have won today,” said Liz.
For her accessories, Liz wore pearls and earrings from her own collection, as well as a bag and shoes she's used before.
