'Shoulder bows and sensational sparkle at the VIP Awards!' - Celia Holman Lee

WHAT A night it was at the 2025 Platinum VIP Style Awards!

As a proud Limerick woman, it was an honour to be nominated for Most Stylish Woman.

Though I didn’t take home the award this year, I am so proud to see it go to fellow Limerick native, Muireann O’Connell, and I couldn’t be happier for her.

Muireann truly embodied a real-life Barbie doll in her striking fuchsia pink gown, designed by Eamon McGill.

The dress, with its dramatic shoulder bow and flowing train, complemented her new blonde shoulder-length hairstyle perfectly.

Her look was a testament to the vibrant fashion spirit that Limerick women bring to the national stage.

The event, held at The InterContinental Hotel, was a celebration of Irish fashion and talent.

From the red carpet to the awards, the atmosphere was electric.

Seeing so many familiar faces and new talent reminded me of the vibrant fashion community we have in Ireland.

I chose a classic black and silver shimmery gown with an asymmetrical neckline, aiming for timeless sophistication, by Phoenix V.

Being surrounded by such style and grace was a win in itself. It’s moments like these that highlight the importance of supporting and uplifting one another in the industry.

The evening was a celebration of style, camaraderie, and the ever-evolving Irish fashion scene. Congratulations to all the winners and nominees on a truly unforgettable night and one that is a staple on my calendar every year.

Here’s to continuing to showcase the best of Irish fashion and talent!
