Colour me beautiful
The L'Oreal Colour Trophy Awards took place on Monday evening in O'Reilly Hall at UCD and, so far, it picks up my Party of the Year Award. Guests enjoyed a champagne reception in the atrium, with ample opportunity to check out some of the outrageous hairstyles, and outfits! These people create style, so of course they emanate it.
At the reception, where there was more hairspray in use than in Dolly Parton's dressingroom, I spotted couturier Jurgen, Mary FitzGerald and Paul Davey of Toni&Guy, socialite Ricard Kavanagh, model Sarah Beckingsale and fashion stylist Sonia Mohlich.
The silver and purple themed venue was more like the interior of a trendy nightclub once the music and lights started to herald the commencement of the event, which was marked by a show by celebrated stylist Dylan Bradshaw. His piece de résistance was a model wearing a long evening dress who dramatically rose up into the air - magic I tell you!
Among the guests enjoying the 4-course dinner were IT-Boy Gavin Lambe - Murphy, entertainer Alan Amsby, TV stars Caroline Morahan and Pamela Flood, actor Jordan Lee McGrath, journalists Gisele Scanlon and Frances Winston.
Trend setters Toni&Guy swept the board, picking up 3 of the top L'Oreal awards on the evening, including Best Salon Award which went to their Dame Street branch. MD Alan Boyce delivering a passionate speech and thanking all involved in the Irish world of hair dressing. Also picking up an award, much to the delight of the press table, was newly formed beauty consultancy Brown Sugar, who include Paula Callan - O'Keefe and Derek Carberry. Setting the standard.
After all that fabulosity we retired to Renards till the wee small hours where we recovered from inhaling the fumes of all that hairspray.
Question of the weekend: Which TV super star is quietly nursing their partner who has been ill for the last number of months and who, sadly, does not have long left in this world?
