Meet the women crowned Style Award winners at Aintree Ladies Day

Claire Illingworth and Ainsley Briscoe were officially crowned the winners of the Grand National Ladies Day Style Awards at Aintree racecourse today.

Claire, 39, wore a dress from Lavish Alice and Ainsley, 29, wore a suit from ASOS and a hat from Pink Boutique. The pair looked stunning in their colourful outfits to match the glorious spring weather.

This year, there was a new award category for sustainability, which was won by Sally Ann Morgan. Sally's whole outfit was made by her mum, and it was a gorgeously bold piece to say the least.

Claire Illingworth wore a stunning yellow dress from Lavish Alice and a custom made Tracey Miller Designs hat. When speaking to the ECHO about her success, she said: "I’m totally shocked. It was a really last minute decision. I really wanted Tracey Miller to make the hat for me.

She continued: "I have no idea what I’m going to do with my winnings, I think my daughter will definitely help me spend some of it!"

For Claire, the most important thing about Ladies Day is the atmosphere. She said: "I love that Ladies Day is such a great representation of Liverpool, we’re really looking out for everyone all day and it’s such a nice atmosphere".

Ainsley Briscoe, 29, was also overcome by her win. Dressed head to toe in a gorgeous floral suit from ASOS, Ainsley found the pieces to match the bold statement outfit from Pink Boutique.

She said: "I still honestly can’t believe it, everyone here today looks amazing and everyone I’ve walked past today I’ve literally grabbed them and told them they look amazing. I can see their face light up.”
