2025 Results

Lindauer Style Stakes Winners

WINNER | Ceri McVinnie

Ceri McVinnie took out top honours in a timeless A-line tartan dress with elegant long sleeves, paired with soft blush accessories.

Her look was anchored by a sentimental touch - a vintage millinery piece originally worn by her grandmother to her parents’ wedding, making its return in fitting, fashion-forward style.

RUNNER-UP | Laura Williams

Laura Williams put a contemporary spin on classic glamour with a black maxi dress featuring a refined fur trim - subtle nods to a modern Cruella de Vil.

Paired with understated black millinery and gold and pearl accessories, the look was both elegant and thoughtfully styled.

MAIDEN | Michelle Hall

Maiden winner Michelle Hall struck a confident balance between classic tailoring and contemporary polish.

She paired a sheer black skirt with a double-breasted Mossman jacket, complete with sharp white cuffs and a black and gold belt. A mustard-hued hat added a bold pop of colour, while gold earrings and Valentino heels finished the look.
