They are referring to this page:

https://millionairechess.com/prizes

Also prizes in each division for "Top senior prize (65+)" and "Best child under 13 yrs old"

Prizes for best dressed? Is this referring to some chess maneuvers, or the actual clothes the players are wearing?

The actual clothes. Chess players are notoriously poorly dressed and the organizers want to be able to eventually package this for television, so they give some incentive for improvement.

Then why specifically single out the female award, instead of the Under 13 and 65+. Why are you not demanding a '13-65' award?
