Miss & Mr Elegance 2025 - Finale - Formal

 

Miss Ireland’s stunning formal look is a tribute to Irish heritage and modern fashion icons. Drawing from the bold, exaggerated shoulders of Paul Costelloe’s designs, her top reflects his fearless use of color. The skirt and part of the top are inspired by Sharon Wauchob’s minimalist approach, incorporating sheer fabrics for a sleek touch. Her shoes, a nod to Una Healy’s signature high-heeled ankle strap sandals, elevate the evening-wear aesthetic. The crowning glory of her look is the hat, a masterpiece inspired by Philip Treacy, renowned for his iconic, bold hats worn by royalty and A-listers. Symbolic elements are woven throughout, with a Tree of Life on the hat, Celtic knots on the belt, and triskelions in the jewelry—each representing Ireland’s rich cultural history. Together, these influences create a look that is both timeless and contemporary, showcasing the perfect blend of tradition and innovation.

Miss & Mr Elegance 2025 - 1st Challenge - Dia de los Muertos

 

Ms. Ireland can’t believe it’s been three years since her mom passed.  Kitty decided to do something different instead of mourning at her mother’s grave.  She has decided to visit her friend, Veronica, in Mexico to honor her mom during the Dia de los Muertos celebration.  Upon arriving in Mexico, Kitty must change before joining the festivities.  She dons a large headdress of rays and flowers; followed by a colorful Mexican floral-patterned dress. She then puts on her skull earrings, skull ring, and shoes.  She was in awe of the beautifully delicate Sugar Skull make up that Veronica painted.  Kitty then placed a picture of her mom on Veronica’s family altar, picked up her bouquet for the grave site, and headed out the door.  Once outside, she was met with a special surprise of Monarch butterflies.  At that moment, Kitty knew her mother was looking down on her.
