My week with Celia Holman Lee: Goss, Gatsby and glamour at annual awards

My week with Celia Holman Lee: Goss, Gatsby and glamour at annual awards

THE PINK carpet did not disappoint at the 2025 Gossies over the weekend. I am still in awe at the event!

The 10th annual awards took place in the RDS on Saturday, February 22 and I am blown away by, not only the style and how well run this year’s ceremony was, but the love and support I received in abundance from you all.

This time, the theme was Gatsby at the Gossies, and so we channelled inner roaring twenties royalty, draped in cascades of pearls, feathers, and beaded decadence.

I chose a floor-length, deep-red velvet gown that flared into a dramatic train, exuding Old Hollywood glamour.

The standout feature of my dress, from Phoenix V, was the spectacular oversized metallic satin ruffled sleeves in a champagne colour, cascading across my shoulders. It oozed opulence.

Every cufflink, gloved hand and beaded wrist paid homage to an era where style was rebellion and elegance was effortless.

What an incredible, intoxicating thrill!

I want to congratulate each and every winner on the night for their contributions to their respective industries.

I had the true honour of presenting Entrepreneur of The Year to Lisa McGowan, a phenomenal woman and founder of Lisa and Co Cosmetics.

Celebs from across the globe graced the Gossies pink carpet, including Katie Price, a whole host of Love Island alumni and influencers from near and far including Limerick’s Sinead Curvy Style, Chloe Walsh and the most stylish weatherman of them all, Deric Hartigan, who won Best Male Presenter!

I am once again reminded of how lucky I am to have such strong support. Thank you all.
