There was more bling, posing and pouting than at the Oscars, as the glamourous girls were out in gale force last night for the annual Peter Mark / VIP Style Awards in the plush Four Seasons Hotel. Twenty well-known style icons made up the final list, with readers of VIP choosing the winner of this prestigious prize. At the gala dinner, editor Emer O'Reilly - Hyland revealed this year's winner to be none other than RTE newscaster Sharon Ní Bheoláin, who looked stunning in a black Valentino gown.
Sharon, who is no shrinking violet, happily accepted the specially commissioned Tipperary Crystal award, designed by Louis Kennedy. Previous winners Celia Holman - Lee and Gránnie Seoige were there to congratulate her. Also picking up an award was friend of SD, TV presenter Kathryn Thomas, who picked up the award for most stylish woman of the night. Work it girl!
Looking fab on the red carpet were models Andrea Roche and Glenda Gilson, TV stars Pamela Flood and Caroline Morahan, FMI Rosanna Davison and actress Orlaith Rafter. Fashion designers Peter O'Brien and Synan O'Mahony were also in attendance, along with An Taoiseach's ex-wife Miriam Ahern and her daughter Gerogina Byrne, wife of Westlifer Nicky.
