Style Review of VIP Style Awards 2014

It's all about the dresses !!!


The cream of Irish talent hit an unusually sunny red carpet Friday evening for the thirteenth Peter Mark VIP Style Awards at the Marker Hotel.

There was an eclectic mix of style on show with the cream of the Irish fashion world putting their best foot forward, here is our pick of who really stood out for either good or bad reasons ! 

First, we will start with the Irish models who were out in force.

The Models

Hannah Devane

I like this look, I think it is young, fresh and on trend, although I would prefer it to be a little more demure, she looks great and love the shoes. -Fi


Teodora Sutra

This look is very sophisticated and the back of the dress was a deep V which was the main feature.
Minimalist and chic- Fi

This look is Kim Kardashion-esque and I really like it, she has a great figure and looks racy yet elegant- Fi


Holly Carpenter

Holly's jumpsuit is fab and her makeup and accessories work great, not a huge fan of the hair or bag-Fi


Rozanna Purcell

Roz stood out in her royal blue power suit, looks great on her but maybe a little ill-fitting? Adore the hair, accessories and makeup- Fi


Pippa O'Connor-Ormond

One of the best on the night, love it all - Fi


Thalia Heffernan

Pure sophistication, fabulous! - Fi

On the plus side, the shoes and bag are gorgeous, just not a huge fan of the cut out sleeves- Fi


Emma Waldron 

I love yellow and think this is gorgeous- Fi

Diana Bunici

It's ok, not to my taste- Fi


Aoife Walsh

Miss Ireland is pretty in pink, the dress style is lovely on her, not mad about the colour.- Fi

Vogue Williams

I like it, but it is nothing special !! - Fi


Secondly, we will move onto the television personalities and actresses who brought their A game.

Actresses and TV Personalities



I like that she went for something different- Fi



The big winner on the night, Rosanna really got it so wrong in Dawn Fitzgerald Atelier- Fi



Classic black, just a bit OTT for the event- Fi



This is a great look on her- Fi



The Ryans look Stylish- Fi


Glenda Gilson

Glenda always looks great but I think this is ageing on her- Fi



It is a nice look but feel like there is something missing from it- Fi



Makeup is great, the dress is ok just not the most flattering- Fi




Add caption



Think she is hilarious but not fond of this at all- Fi

Laura Woods

This is lovely, top marks Laura - Fi

Just not my style- Fi


The hair and makeup are spot on and the colour suits her, just think she looks a bit swamped in this style- Fi




I think she did well here- Fi

Kathryn Thomas

Not the right dress for this event- Fi

Big fan of this- Fi



I like this, I think it suits her- Fi


Jennifer Maguire

Love, Love, Love !!!!! - Fi



Do Not think this suits Blathnaid- Fi



Everyone has their own style but none of this works, the hair and thigh-high split is just not good- Fi



Not a fan of the belt but a good effort- Fi



This metallic dress suits Lucy but would look much better with bigger hair- Fi

Not a fan- Fi



Very young and on-trend, really like this look- Fi


Aoibhin Garrihy

The hair and makeup is fabulous and I like how simple the dress is, just a little old looking for her- Fi

Sybil Mulcahy

Not the most flattering shape-wise but she is glowing and confident- Fi 

The Stylists

I just do not get this look- Fi


Celia-Holman Lee

This woman is defying age, looks great- Fi


Courtney Smith

I really love this, the boho style really works and the accessories are fabulous- Fi


Finally, the more mature ladies showing the younger women how to do it

The Mature Ladies


Ann Doyle

Matchy matchy but you cannot go wrong with black - Fi



I think Mary looked great- Fi



These Irish women showed that we really have style in this country and most were supporting Irish designers. 

Overall everyone made a great effort on the night and each looked confident in what they chose to wear.

Our favourites from the night: 

The Men:

 Conor McGregor.

Conor won Irelands Most Stylish Male at the event and we agree 100%!! The mixed martial artist and UFC superstar made a confident appearance in a fitted, navy, pin-stripped suit with a powder blue shirt. The dickie bow and pocket watch just set it off!  He got it spot on and has become the nations favourite over the past year, along with his growing success came his growing love for fashion. He is on trend, stylish and perfectly groomed! Heart throb central! -Hil x

The Women:

Courtney Smith. 

My favourite from the night, unique, different, stylish and very lady like! It ticked all the boxes for me. I get bored of on-trend dresses sometimes, esp on the red carpet, if everyone is in it its not special! This was so different but yet fitted the occasion perfectly. Her accessories were also spot on, no necklace which I love as the dress is bold enough in print, beautiful bangles and rings and the headband and little clutch are fab!! Courtney, you rocked it! - Hil x

Best New Comer:

Leanne Moore.

Leanne won best new comer at the Style Awards, great choice! Usually, Im not a huge "mesh" fan when it comes to dresses, it can look tacky and cheap. It works great here and skin colour is an exact match which helps! Its girly, yet dark and sultry! The blonde hair and dark lippy combo are a trend spark and work great against each other! Congrats Leanne!! :) - Hil x

The Older Guys:

Daithi O Se

Daithi is doing it for the Daddys!! Simple suit and nice little funky dickie bow, he couldnt go wrong! We are loving the beard too! - Hil x
