The supreme winner at the Fashion in the Field event at Ellerslie Racecourse is the sister of last year's winner.

Auckland Racing Club marketing director Rachel Holland says there have been an amazing number of people on course and some impressive outfits. She says the event featured included a lot of colour, different styles and a large number of competitors vying for the top award.

Olivia Moore won the under-25 category and then went on to win in the overall award, as her sister had last year. Ms Moore wore a pink floral dress with white and pink fascinator coordinated with pink shoes and white clutch bag. She wins a year';s lease on a new Mercedes, new clothes, jewellery and dinner at Mollies Boutique Hotel in Ponsonby.

The event is now the largest outdoor fashion event in the country and is part of the Christmas Carnival racing season.

Twenty-five thousand people were at the Ellerslie course today.
