Double platinum and BRIT award-winner PALOMA FAITH headlined a concert at Chepstow Racecourses last night (Friday 8th July) as part of the ‘Live After Racing’ season.
It was also the popular Ladies Evening, which is always a stand out day in the Chepstow Calendar. It gives racegoers the chance to ‘style it up’ on what is one of the most glamorous sporting days of the year.
Stylish outfits, ornate hats, fantastic food and drink and, of course, exciting racing combined to ensure everyone had an incredible day out. To have Paloma Faith round it off with a stunning set, really was a perfect end to the most perfect of days. As Paloma said…….
“The only thing that is definite, and that is certain, is the moment we are in at this very moment. We don’t know what’s going to happen in the next five minutes, we don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow, we don’t know what’s going to happen next year and it’s been a frightening time for everyone.
But for tonight, I want everyone to sing with me, to dance with me, go – be free, wild and abandoned, because the only thing we ever have is NOW!”
The crowd did indeed sing and dance and were completely free and wild. In a set filled with hit after hit, her performance was as blistering hot as the evening sunshine.
Here’s a look back at the day…..
This is one of the only days of the season when fashion is as important as racing, stylish outfits and beautiful headwear are sure to be in abundance. Thousands of racegoers will put their best shoes forward to impress the judges of the Style Awards, which is open to all, with the winning outfit taking home a huge £500 cash prize!
For those who’d like to enter this year’s Style Competition, make sure you head to the flower wall when you arrive to have your picture taken. There will also be a spotter in the crowd looking out for any particularly stunning outfits as well.
The winner was announced, at a packed Chepstow Racecourse and it was KERRI PHILLIPS from Cardiff who took home the champagnes, flowers, £500 cash prize, and most importantly, the title of Style Award winner 2022.
