Stylist to the stars Gok Wan is usually all about getting women to strip off their clothes but there was no sign of that at the weekend as he crowned Ireland’s most curvaceous woman Brianna Connaughton from Waterford at the final of Simply Be Curvy in City West Hotel.
Simply Be launched their search to find Ireland’s most curvaceous woman ‘Simply Be Curvy’ in early June, looking for women size 14 and over who love and celebrate their curves to enter. Following three heats nationwide (Dublin, Limerick and Silgo) based on over 6,500 entries, 16 finalists were chosen.
A panel of celebrity judges including Alan Hughes, Brenda O’Donoghue and Bairbre Power (chaired by Gok himself) chose the lucky winner from the finalists.
Brianna aged 24 from Waterford is the lucky winner and becomes an instant cover girl and will grace the cover of Spring 2010 Simply Be catalogue. Brianna, a size 14 also won €1,000 worth of Simply Be clothing and accessories, a holiday to the value of €1000 plus spending money and a modelling contract with one of Ireland’s top modelling agents Celia Holman Lee.
