To Krystle where 25 of Ireland’s brightest and most successful young women were honoured at a special event hosted by Social & Personal magazine and Olay.

The party was to celebrate the country’s ‘Bright Young Things’ and hopes for the future; women under 35 representing all walks of life, from sport and entertainment to fashion and film. The select group includes a number of well-known faces and names as well as those whose careers are currently on the ascent both at home and on the international stage.

Among them are the likes of actress-turned-author Amy Huberman, footwear designer Nina Divito, boxer Katie Taylor, singers Lisa Hannigan and Laura Izibor, fashion designers Úna Burke and Mia O’Connell and award-winning actresses Saoirse Ronan and Sarah Bolger.

Liz Kennedy of Olay was delighted to be involved with Social & Personal in honouring Ireland’s finest talent, saying: “Olay encourages women to nurture their own beauty by advocating regular skin care so that they love the skin they’re in.”

A special cover story profiling the ladies appears in the August issue of Social & Personal magazine, which hits newsstands this week.
