Year after year, horse racing fans from around the world put on their fanciest outfits for the Dubai World Cup. For those of you who do not associated fashion with horse racing: you have gotten it all wrong! In fact, videos from the fashion part of the Dubai World Cup are very entertaining, because Dubai fashionistas aim to be unique.
Attendants of Dubai World Cup are judged on the outfits they wear. Prizes are given out to the most fashionable during an event called the Dubai World Cup Style Stakes. In typical Dubai style, grand prizes total thousands of dollars, including shopping and spa vouchers along five-star dinning offers.
Categories in the past have been Best Dressed Lady, Best Hat, and Best Dressed Couple. Since 2011, the fashion shows also feature men brands and a new category for Best Dressed Man.
Fashion at the Dubai World Cup always seems to have an exclamation point associated with it. The races continue from afternoon to late evening, there is more flexibility, more bling.
The Dubai Meydan Racecourse released a video to gear everyone up for the 2012 Style Stakes event.
