The outfits were inspired. The picnics became productions. And some tailgates deserved a standing ovation. Newport Polo’s guests brought their imagination to the 2026 Stella Artois Best in Show themes—now it’s time to give those summer looks an encore.
From November 2–29, Theme Throwback brings all 17 themes back to Newport Polo’s Instagram and Facebook pages for a friendly competition decided by you. We’ll revisit the photographs, celebrate the details, and ask the question every great summer leaves behind: which Saturday would you do all over again?
Perhaps your favorite inspired an outfit planned weeks in advance. Maybe it was the afternoon your friends transformed a tailgate into something extraordinary. Whatever made it memorable, this is your chance to rally your fellow fans and help that theme claim the season’s crown.
And while the themes compete for bragging rights, you could win your next gathering at Glen Farm. One randomly selected eligible entrant will receive a tailgate space and 10 lawn tickets to a 2027 Newport Polo match, subject to availability.
The competition opens with all 17 themes before narrowing to head-to-head matchups and a championship showdown. Come back each round to cheer on your favorites and enter again. Your chosen theme doesn’t have to win for you to take home the prize.
Thank you to Stella Artois for sponsoring our 2026 Best in Show themes and match-day prizes—and to every guest who gave us so much to celebrate.
Follow Newport Polo on Instagram and Facebook, and join the first vote November 2. Your favorite summer memory could lead to your next one.
