Kilkenny Student Aaron Meakin Finalist for Best Dressed Debutante

BREAKING: A Kilkenny student, Aaron Meakin, has been officially named a finalist in Ireland’s Best Dressed Debutante Final 2025. This exciting announcement comes just days before the prestigious event, set to take place at The Mayson Hotel in Dublin on November 5, 2025.

The competition, hosted annually by DEBSireland in collaboration with Assets Model Agency, seeks to crown the most stylish debutante of the season. Following his appearance at the Colaiste Mhuire Debs earlier this summer, Meakin has captured the attention of fashion enthusiasts nationwide.

As part of the final festivities, each of the ten finalists will enjoy a day of exclusive styling and pampering from an elite glam team, including renowned makeup artist and influencer Cakedwcian and talented hairstylist Kon Kelly. The finalists will also receive expert styling from professionals at The Grafton Barbers. This experience culminates in a photoshoot with award-winning photographer Mark Duffy, ensuring that each contestant showcases their best look.

The public can participate in the excitement by voting for their favorite debutante on the DEBSireland website. Each finalist will not only receive a fabulous goodie bag filled with products from generous sponsors like Essence Makeup and Róisín’s Sweet Treats, but they will also strive for the ultimate prize: a holiday for two to Las Vegas and a modeling contract with Assets Model Agency.

Voting is set to resume after the finalists’ photos are uploaded to the website, where the overall winner will be determined by a combination of votes from DEBSireland, Assets Model Agency, and public input.

Stay tuned for more updates as we approach this exciting event! The countdown to the Best Dressed Debutante Final is on, and the stakes have never been higher for Kilkenny’s own Aaron Meakin!
