The Fashion Doctor

Top models Roz Purcell, Thalia Heffernan and Holly Carpenter were among the fashionable guests at the event, many of whom made an effort to showcase up and coming Irish designers.

Blogger Suzanne Jackson - of So Sue Me - took home the coveted award for 'Most Stylish Woman', while the award for 'Best Irish Designer' went to the talented Don O'Neill.

Check out my top ten looks from the night below.

1. Roz Purcell
The former Miss Ireland wowed on the red carpet in a dramatic dress simply borrowed from a friend.


2. Thalia Heffernan
Wearing a bespoke dress designed by James Moorcroft, the supermodel took home the award for best dressed on the night.

3. Rosie Connelly 
This custom pink suit was designed by the Irish label Embe Couture. The peplum detail and silver heels tie the pink look together.



4. Holly Carpenter
Another former Miss Ireland, Holly Carpenter looked stunning in a navy number from the Dublin boutique Covet.




5. Teodora Sutra
This beautiful chiffon dress was designed by Dublin based Turkish designer Umit Kutluk.



6. Aideen Feely
This Dior style dress was designed by yet another Irish designer - Mary Grant. The tulle skirt and fishnet socks add drama to the etherial look.

7. Karen Koster
Just on time for World Earth Day, Karen Koster wore an incredible dress from the H&M Conscious collection. Made from 'Bionic' - a material made from plastic waste from the sea - this dress shows that sustainable fashion is high fashion.



8. Grace Cahill
The editor from You magazine paired a sample Topshop Bridal dress with a pair of vintage heels to create a look that is boho-chic.

This chic outfit is surprisingly from none other than Zara.



10. Niamh Cullen
The ruffled detail, on this Toni Maticevski top, made the all-white outfit red carpet ready.

One of the final award shows of the season was hosted on Sunday night in Los Angeles. The Screen Actors Guild Awards coincided with protests at LAX, and other major airports across the US, which saw thousands rally against Trump's outrageous "travel ban". The widespread upset created by this Executive Order was evident at the awards ceremony. Nearly every actor accepting awards spoke out against the ban, with some statements more direct than others (take Simon Helberg's sign and Jocelyn Towne's chest, for example).

[Disclaimer: For those concerned, I did think about avoiding political topics on my fashion blog, considering I'm obviously highly unqualified...but then I remembered that a reality TV star is the current Leader of the Free World. So, since qualifications are no longer of importance, I will continue to go about writing my "FAKE NEWS". ]

Emma Stone took home yet another award for her performance in the popular musical La La Land. Surprisingly, however, Denzel Washington was presented with his first SAG award for his role in Fences - a film which he also directed. Taraji P. Henson gave a beautiful speech about unity, when accepting an award on behalf of the cast of Hidden Figures. Both Ashton Kutcher and Julia Louis-Dreyfus joined her in speaking with passionate and welcoming words, in retaliation to Trump's deplorable travel ban.

On Sunday night, the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles was host to some of TVs biggest stars, who headed out for the 68th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. Game of Thrones may have broken records by winning "Outstanding Drama Series" two years in a row, but The People v OJ Simpson walked away with the most awards.

The Emmys is known for robbing deserving actors of their awards - Keri Russell walked away empty handed once again - but this year saw plenty of first time winners. Tatiana Maslany finally won for her role(s) in Orphan Black, and Sarah Paulson brought home her first Emmy award after six previous nominations.

Check out my favourite looks from the 2016 Emmy red carpet below.
