When is the Style Awards kicking off?
This year’s Platinum VIP Style Awards are taking place on Friday, May 23rd in the Intercontinental Hotel.

Laura Mercier is returning as our beauty partner, while Dripping Gold is our tanning partner, and 14 Day Mani is our nail partner.
What happens after the red carpet?
Once our guests have their photo snapped and enjoy a crisp drink from champagne partner Moët & Chandon, they’ll make their way into the InterContinental Hotel where they’ll indulge in a tipple from cocktail partner Malfy Gin.
Afterwards they’ll enjoy a three course meal, paired with wine from wine partner, Casillero del Diablo, in the ballroom, beautifully decorated by flowers partner, Flowers.ie.
Between each course our fabulous host Laura Fox will announce the winners of each category, before the afterparty kicks off in the ICE Bar.
