Vogue Williams judge at this year's Curragh Derby

Vogue Williams has been selected as the judge for the Best Dressed Competition at the Irish Derby at Curragh Racecourse on Sunday, 28 June.

The presenter, podcaster, model and brand ambassador is one of the most recognisable and stylish figures in the worlds of fashion, beauty and entertainment.

With her effortless style, glamorous image and hugely successful career across television, fashion and beauty, the proud Dubliner is the perfect fit for the stylish occasion, where elegance and race-day fashion are as eagerly anticipated as the world-class racing itself.

Ms Williams has become one of Ireland’s most recognisable media personalities, balancing a hugely successful career alongside family life between London and her beloved hometown of Howth.

Vogue continues to dominate both Irish and UK entertainment circles. Her chart-topping podcast My Therapist Ghosted Me with close friend Joanne McNally has become a global sensation, while her regular appearances on ITV’s Lorraine, major red carpets and hit television shows have cemented her place as a fan favourite. She also won over audiences with her appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in late 2025.

Away from television, Vogue has built an impressive business empire spanning beauty, fitness, and fashion.

Her tanning range ‘Bare by Vogue’ continues to soar in popularity, while her fitness app ‘Flexy’ and fashion collaborations have further strengthened her brand. Now, the stylish mum-of-three, soon to be four, is preparing to cast her eye over the fashion stakes at one of Ireland’s most glamorous sporting occasions.

“I am really looking forward to a fantastic day of style,” said Vogue. “The Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby at the Curragh Racecourse is one of the most elegant days of the year, and I can’t wait to see all the incredible fashion on display. Being in Ireland makes it even more special!”

“I’ll be looking for energy, fun and a touch of personality. I love having an excuse to get dressed up, and fashion and style are passions of mine that I really enjoy.” 

Vogue will be joined on the judging panel by Alpana Cidambi, representing Dubai Duty Free, the event’s long-standing title sponsor and lifestyle and fashion writer, Bairbre Power. 

The winner of the Best Dressed Competition will receive a spectacular prize package from Dubai Duty Free, including return flights for two to Dubai, five nights at the luxurious Creekside Hotel in Dubai and €1,000 spending money to enjoy.
