A Stylish Approach to Sports Broadcasting
Jacqui Hurley, a well-known presenter with RTÉ, made a striking appearance this weekend while hosting “Up for the Match.” Her fashion choices were as bold as her on-air presence, adding a touch of glamour to the sports coverage. The event coincided with Cork’s All-Ireland final clash against Tipperary, and Jacqui used the opportunity to showcase her support for her home county.
A Patriotic and Chic Outfit
Ahead of the big match, Jacqui shared a photo of her outfit, which was both stylish and patriotic. The look featured a vibrant red jumpsuit that paid homage to the Rebel County. The design included structured silhouettes, an elegant belted waist, and statement shoulders, making it a standout piece. The jumpsuit, designed by Nadine Merabi, is called the Eleanor red jumpsuit and costs €555. It features a flattering wide-leg cut, ensuring comfort without compromising on style.
The jumpsuit is available in sizes XS-XXL, and according to the website, only two medium sizes remain. This limited availability has sparked interest among fans who want to replicate Jacqui’s look. Her post accompanying the photo read: ‘Up For The Match hurling special. Always hits different when your own county is involved & your family get to enjoy it too! Big thanks to all the team for bringing the carnival atmosphere!! Here’s to a cracking final!!!’
Despite Cork’s loss to Tipperary, Jacqui’s fashion choice was a clear winner. Fans praised her, with one comment stating, ‘You looked fab Jacqui, hon da rebels.’ Another fan wrote, ‘Fabulous choice of outfit on you, great show.’
