IT'S was Ladies' Day at Redcar Races today and the ladies of the North-East have been out in their finery.

Redcar's Jodie Lawson was named the Best Dressed Lady. Property developer Jodie grabbed the judges' attention in a stunning lemon off-the-shoulder gown from Jarlo and accompanying fascinator from Chic Hats.

"I'm shocked and overwhelmed to win," said Jodie.

Jodie won a selection of Michael Kors goodies courtesy of Market Cross Jewellers, a personal shopping experience with Betty Leigh Boutique, plus a £50 voucher to spend in store, and a bottle of champagne.

The Best Hat Competition was won by Selina Walker, of Skelton, wearing a gorgeous pink floral number. Selina, below, won a bespoke hat made by Chic Hats and a bottle of champagne.
