The Height of Fashion Stakes is a Listed flat horse race in Great Britain open to three-year-old fillies. It is run at Goodwood over a distance of 1 mile, 1 furlong and 192 yards (1,986 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in May.

History

The event was established in 1972, and it was originally called the Lupe Stakes. It was named after Lupe, the winner of the Epsom Oaks in 1970.

The race was renamed the Height of Fashion Stakes in 2007. It now pays tribute to Height of Fashion, a filly whose victories included the Lupe Stakes in 1982. She became a successful broodmare, and was the dam of Unfuwain, Nashwan and Nayef.

The Height of Fashion Stakes sometimes serves as a trial for the Epsom Oaks. The last horse to win both races was Snow Fairy in 2010.
