Winner-takes-all competition. Who will take home the coveted sash and the national racewear title?
The culmination of New Zealand’s fashions in the field competitions, The Ned Prix de Fashion is the national final, bringing together the cream of the crop to crown the country’s most stylish racegoer.
Entry into The Ned Prix de Fashion 2027 is by pre-qualification, with entrants needing to win a qualifying competition at events throughout the country in order to secure their spot in the final here at Ellerslie on Champions Day, 6 March 2027. Those contestants then take to the runway in a bid to catch the eye of an expert panel of judges, whose job it is to whittle the field down to just five Grand Finalists and, ultimately, select the Supreme Winner.
There will be no chance to qualify on the day, only at one of the qualifying events listed below.
To enter The Ned Prix de Fashion you must either win a prequalifying event that takes place at a racecourse in New Zealand over the 2026/27 season THEN...
The Ned Prix de Fashion kicks off, featuring all the representatives from qualifying competitions.
Taking to the runway, contestants are scored by our panel of judges, with the top five points scorers announced as Grand Finalists.
From the Grand Finalists, points will again be awarded, with the overall top scorer announced as the Supreme Winner of The Ned Prix de Fashion 2027.
In 2026, that title went to Claudia Campbell, who took home the winner-takes-all prize package from The Ned, Tan In The City, and SkyCity Auckland - along with the bragging rights of being the country's national racewear titleholder for the year.
