What is your go-to racing beauty look?
My favourite beauty look for racing starts with beautiful skin to which I can add a fabulous black eyeliner and red lipstick. I love strong but classic glamour for the races.
This autumn I am loving the return of the wide brimmed hat in many forms. From elaborate runway creations to a classic wide brim fedora, nothing embraces the tradition of racing and fashion at the track as well as a beautiful hat. Having said that, I also have a great love for headwear that evokes a sense of humour and fun – pieces that complement fashion.
What are your tips for putting together the perfect racing outfit from top to toe?
Firstly, a full length mirror is your (extremely honest) best friend. I always start with the piece of my outfit that is the most detailed and work everything else around it. It could be my hat or shoes some days but I’ve been known to fall in love with an amazing dress so when that happens, everything else needs taming down!
Always seek advice on headwear – it’s really easy to get it wrong with competing accessories, but with the right milliner by your side it is just as easy to get it right.
How do you keep your makeup looking polished all day long?
I’d start with the ModelCo Instant Miracle Booster, ModelCo Body Bronze Dry Touch SPF 50+ for essential sun protection on the limbs at the track and then ModelCo Fluid Splash 3-in-1 Foundation for a fabulous base.
