Glittering Westerati Flirt and Frolick at the 107th Annual Grand Garden Classic
Bring on the champagne and brandy cocktails!
Our favorite flowery southern region kicked off its famed derby season this weekend at the 107th Annual Grand Garden Classic and everybody who's anybody traveled to The Reach for society's favorite sport.
No offense to this year's champion thoroughbred, Bors the Breaker — but we all know the real competition here: seeing and being seen.
The day started at the Highgarden Country Club with the Women's League Charity Brunch (sponsored by Redwyne Family Vineyards), where Women's League Chairwoman and Future First Lady, Margaery Tyrell Baratheon was the obvious belle of the ball alongside her himbo Man Candy husband and candidate for Prime Minister, People's Councilman Renly Baratheon.
On hand to accept the League's Woman of the Year Award (before the race where she allegedly bet big on second-place winner Knight of the Laughing Tree and swore like a wildling) was Foreign Affairs Minister Lyanna Stark.
No doubt, dragged below The Neck by his fiancee, People's Councilman Robb Stark also made an appearance to support his dear aunt. Let's hope our sweet WKLN anchor Roslin Frey employs a better stylist next year if she doesn't want to be outshined by her dashing groom-to-be.
Speaking of visitors from lands far and wide, all hail Princess Arianne Martell, who made her first-ever derby appearance. Could my Little Birds' reports that the over thirty-five-years old and still single heir to the Dornish throne is shopping for a Westerosi husband be true? We've heard she canoodled with a certain ne'er-do-well prince at the after-party, but more on that later.
Included in the Princess's retinue were her cousins and daughters of International Man of Mystery Prince Oberyn Martell: (pictured from left to right) fashion maven and style influencer Obella Sand, fixer and political maverick Sarella Sand, Tyroshi Tennis Open Champion Elia Sand, and international playgirl fixer Nymeria Sand.
And let's not forget Prince Trystane and his lady love and Westerosi society princess, Myrcella Baratheon.
We wonder how Myrcella reacted when her mother, Former First Lady Cersei Lannister, showed up on the arm of the criminal eccentric businessman Euron Greyjoy? Only the gods know what's going on here, but Little Birds report that a collective gasp rippled through the box seats at the race track when they walked in? Is the notoriously uptight Lady Lannister looking for a wild ride after her tumultuous divorce and the death of her oldest son? Could #Ceron be the newest couple to watch?
Not to be outdone by their visitors, our Reachmen and women were out in full force. Let's start with the age-defying plastic surgery enthusiast socialite and boutique franchiser, Lynesse Hightower-Ormollen who made her derby entrance via billboards throughout Garden City featuring herself exclusive pieces from her stores' also named after herself spring line.
