EVENT: Fashion at the Ebor, York Racecourse, UK

Northern England's most prestigious racing festival will once again play host to some superb fashion action when Fashion at the Ebor begins next week at York Racecourse.On each day of the Ebor Festival, there will be a competition to find the Best Dressed Lady, Gentleman, Child and Best Hat, with prizes awarded to the winners of each category.However, there will be a stronger focus on Thursday's Ladies' Day competition, as the Best Dressed Racegoer receives a trip for two to the Dubai World Cup with accommodation at the Marriott Hotel. The winner of the Best Dressed Lady category on this day will also be invited to represent York in the grand final of Go Racing in Yorkshire's Best Dressed Lady for 2013 on October 26, where she will face-off against best dressed ladies from other Yorkshire regions and, once again, compete for some fantastic prizes.The organisers of the competition want to emphasise that the competition "is about looking your best and enjoying fashion, it is not a search for a supermodel" (OTOT wonders if this in reference to last year's Ladies' Day winner, model Faye Cupitt, who was dressed by a designer and milliner to scoop first prize - a practice which was ruled out of Australian Fashions on the Field competitions years ago).
