Tattersall’s Tiara Race Day & Kendall Gilding

A Distinguished Honour: Bridie Dunn Judges Tattersall’s Tiara Race Day Fashions on the Field

It was with immense pride that Bridie Dunn, leading lady of Lannah Dunn Fine Jewellery, accepted the invitation to judge this year’s 2025 Tattersall’s Tiara Race Day Fashions on the Field. Set against the backdrop of Eagle Farm’s iconic heritage grandstands, the prestigious finale to the Queensland Winter Racing Carnival brought together not only the nation’s most elegant racewear but a true celebration of fashion, society, and timeless style.

For Bridie, who represents the third generation of the family behind Lannah Dunn, the opportunity to lend her discerning eye to such a revered event is both a personal and professional honour. Steeped in a legacy of curating rare and refined jewels—both antique and modern—Bridie brought a unique perspective to the judging panel, where craftsmanship, individuality and enduring elegance reign supreme.

Adorning the Icons: Kendall Gilding and Jordan Hosie in LANNAH DUNN

Elevating the glamour of the day was none other than emcee Kendall Gilding, who took to the stage wearing LANNAH DUNN’s signature Art Deco diamond jewellery. With her timeless poise and warm charisma, Kendall radiated the same sparkle as the carefully curated jewels she wore—pieces that echo the grandeur and geometric grace of the 1920s, handpicked to honour the spirit of the occasion.

Joining the spotlight in dashing distinction, distinguished guest Jordan Hosie styled his raceday ensemble with LANNAH DUNN’s gents diamond brooches and rings, breathing new life into the gentleman’s approach to fine jewellery. His modern yet classic interpretation of racewear showcased how heirloom-quality pieces can confidently stride alongside contemporary

A Celebration of Legacy, Style and Sartorial Excellence

Bridie embodied modern elegance in a tailored black Carla Zampatti suit, a nod to refined femininity with sharp lines and timeless structure. Her look was elevated with a curation of Lannah Dunn’s Art Deco diamond jewellery—glittering drop earrings and bold geometric rings that cascaded with light and captured the era’s iconic symmetry. It was a masterclass in understated glamour: a commanding silhouette softened by the shimmer of heirloom-worthy diamonds, each piece echoing the legacy she so gracefully represents.

In a nod to Australian design excellence, Bridie chose a striking Carla Zampatti ensemble—an iconic label long synonymous with strength, sophistication, and championing women in style. Much like Lannah Dunn, Carla Zampatti represents not only timeless craftsmanship but also the importance of supporting homegrown talent and preserving the legacy of Australian design. Emcee Kendall Gilding was a vision in Rebecca Vallance, whose bold, structured femininity celebrates the modern Australian woman; while Jordan Hosie brought tailored perfection to the field in a refined Mitchell Ogilvie ensemble—classic with a contemporary edge, echoing the enduring appeal of gentlemanly style.

As a celebration of fashion, the day served as a powerful reminder of the value in supporting Australian-owned and designed brands—nurturing local creatives, sustaining independent ateliers, and investing in the future of our industry. There is elegance not only in the garments we wear, but in the stories they tell and the communities they uphold.

To see Lannah Dunn Fine Jewellery gracing such an illustrious stage—and embraced by some of Queensland’s most iconic figures—was a moment of both celebration and reflection. Bridie’s role as judge, and the honour of adorning personalities like Kendall and Jordan, reaffirms the maison’s unwavering dedication to style, legacy, and excellence in design.

As the sun set on another memorable Tattersall’s Tiara Day, Lannah Dunn remained, as ever, at the heart of elegant storytelling—one precious detail at a time.
