On Saturday 16th May, Ireland’s most glamorous showbiz event – now in its 23rd year – returned, as we celebrated in style at the awards’ original home, the lavish InterContinental Dublin. We rolled out the red carpet once more as our new host – Dancing With The Stars favourite Jennifer Zamparelli – helped us welcome Ireland’s most stylish celebrities for a spectacular night of fashion and glamour.
Platinum Expert Hair, Ireland’s leading hair extension brand, returned as the title sponsor of the Platinum VIP Style Awards for a fifth year and will once again crown Most Stylish Woman on the night. Joining Platinum in the VIP glam suite was Beauty Partner, Laura Mercier, ensuring everyone was photo-ready with the help of their expert team of makeup artists, while our Tan Partner, St. Tropez were on hand for those essential glow touch-ups.
Celebrity guests sipped on Moët & Chandon champagne while getting red carpet ready, before enjoying a stylish cocktail reception on arrival courtesy of Malfy Gin. A host of premium partners supported some of the most exciting categories of the evening. Hayu presented Most Stylish Man, Very sponsored Most Stylish Newcomer, and Hyundai recognised Most Stylish Influencer. Kerry Hanaphy Clinic presented the coveted Look of the Year award, while One4all Gift Cards celebrated Favourite Irish Designer, and Canella Lane sponsored Favourite Irish Stylist.
The Style Icon award was presented by Nero Notte, while NEXT sponsored Best Dressed on the Night. Additional partners supporting the event included Flowers.ie and Casillero del Diablo.
More than 100,000 votes were registered this year, as you, our readers and voters, decided who to recognise across our ten stylish categories.
