Saucy slits to latex Irish stars dare to bare at Style Awards
Temperatures are rising on the VIP Style Awards carpet as Ireland's hottest stars strip down for the biggest night in fashion.
From saucy slits to luscious latex, everyone who's anyone is daring to bare for this year's festivities, which seeks to celebrate the best of the best of Irish style.
Leading the pack is Style Awards host Laura Fox, who opted for a fiery red number for presenting duties. Laura Fox pictured at the Platinum VIP Style Awards 2025 at the InterContinental Dublin. Pic: Brian McEvoy
The 2FM host stunned in a fire engine red corset from Amory Co, which perfectly moulds to her torso, leaving little to the imagination.
The dress also features a long satin skirt with a daring thigh high split that shows off her bronzed pins.
Pamela Uba also went for a similar style, rocking a Dune inspired look by Nero Notte designs. Pamela Uba pictured at the Platinum VIP Style Awards 2025 at the InterContinental Dublin. Picture: Brian McEvoy
The dress also featured a moulded corset, with the former Miss Ireland pairing it with a hooded bolero and fitted white maxi skirt.
Erica Cody wasn't afraid to bare it all on Friday night, with her black lacy number turning heads on the red carpet.
The Rally Girl's dress features dramatic cut-outs and a sculptural, lace-like design that reveals much of her body. Along with the asymmetrical silhouette and open front skirt, Erica is certainly leading the stakes when it comes to sex appeal.

Ciara Doherty had us doing a double take with her elegant black dress that features a sleek, figure-hugging silhouette with a striking plunging neckline.
The neckline is uniquely sculpted with bold, curved edges, totally elevating a relatively simple garment.
Yasmin Seky truly brought the drama to this year's carpet, stepping out in a show-stopping number featuring a deep plunging neckline and dramatic cap sleeves. Ciara Doherty pictured at the Platinum VIP Style Awards 2025 at the InterContinental Dublin. Pic: Brian McEvoy
A high front slit and waist cut outs add to the boldness of the design, while the voluminous, floor-sweeping train adds elegance.
Speaking of plunging necklines, Jennifer Zamparelli dazzled in pink for the festivities, with her strapless gown featuring a dramatic v-neck line.
The bubblegum dream dress was on loan from rented threads, with the Dancing With The Stars host keeping it simple in way of styling, opting for just strappy silver heels and a diamond choker.

Jen's dress also featured a thigh high slit which perfectly showed off her glowing tan.
I think it's safe to say that saucy silhouettes were a firm favourite for this year's carpet.

Limerick rugby player set for Love Island villa
Conor Phillips, a professional rugby player from Limerick, has been announced as a contestant on the upcoming season of Love Island. The 25-year-old rugby union player is among the opening line-up heading to the Majorcan villa for the next run of the popular dating series. He joins fellow Irish contestant, Dublin actor and panto star Megan Forte Clarke, who was previously announced to be taking part. Speaking about his type, he said: "Someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic. I like dark eyes and I don't mind a dominant woman." With regards his biggest "ick" in a potential partner, Phillips shared: "Being too needy, or needing to do everything together. I like someone to be independent and do their own thing and then we come together and do our thing." The winger said of his flaws: "I don't like to answer to anyone else. I like to do my own thing. It's something I'm working on for a relationship. Hopefully I've improved!" The rugby player promises to bring some mischief to the villa, describing himself as "the class clown type". "Being in big teams and groups all the time, I'm always mixing things up, stirring the pot," he said. The Limerick native said presenter Maya Jama would be impressed with his flirting skills. "I ask girls if they want to go halves on a baby. It doesn't work, but it gets them laughing. It's an ice-breaker, not a serious question of course!" he said. Jokes aside, the rugby star said he is looking for a partner. "I'm doing nicely as a single person, but I need a relationship, I need to settle down and invest in some stocks," he said. His secret skill is singing. "My go to is Mario's Let Me Love You," he said. "I've sang in front of a lot of people before. If it's your first rugby match you have to get on the bus and sing - they loved it!"

Irish sports hunk enters Love Island villa in bombshell late twist
An Irish sports star has officially joined the Love Island 2025 cast - after a shock last-minute shake-up saw one original Islander pulled from the line-up just days before launch. Kyle Ashman was set to enter the villa in Mallorca alongside 11 other sexy singletons, but was suddenly axed. An ITV spokesperson confirmed: "For personal reasons, Kyle will not be entering the Love Island Villa as planned". Now, in a surprise twist, 25-year-old professional rugby player Conor Philips from Limerick has swooped in to take his place - and he's already making headlines. The confident winger says he's after "someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic" - and revealed he doesn't mind "a dominant woman". But don't expect him to be clingy. "I don't like to answer to anyone else. I like to do my own thing", he admitted, adding that being "too needy" is his biggest ick. He described himself as the "class clown type vibe", and joked his love life would be called 'Still Trying' - "it's got to be a rugby pun, hasn't it?" And while he says he'd be "keeping my head above water" in the dating world, he's ready to settle down and "invest in some stocks". As for his flirting style? "I ask girls if they want to go halves on a baby… it doesn't work, but it gets them laughing." Conor becomes the second Irish contestant confirmed for this year's Love Island series, which kicks off Monday, June 9 on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Play. He'll be joined by Megan Forte, a 24-year-old musical theatre performer and panto star originally from Dublin. Now living in Brighton, Megan describes herself as bubbly and is looking for a man with a great sense of humour - and says she's more than happy with a "dad bod". The full 2025 cast includes Almia Gagigo, Helena Ford, Megan, Megan Moore, Shakira Khan and Sophie Lee, who will be coupling up with Conor, Ben Holbrough, Bly Chegini, Dejon Noel-Williams, Harry Cooksley and Tommy Bradley.

Louth's St Joseph's National School celebrates All Ireland success
The families and friends of pupils from 6th class gathered to watch a performance of their show 'Fear Draíochta Oz'. On the night there was also a formal presentation of the awards they picked up recently at the 'Féile Náisiúnta' held in Mullingar. On April 4 the school had travelled to the Féile Náisiúnta of 'An Cumann Scoildrámaíochta'. This is an annual school drama competition for schools at primary and post-primary level. The dramas are performed through the medium of Irish. St. Joseph's were crowned winners of 'Comórtas 3' which is for non-Gaeltacht or Gaelscoil schools at primary level. The students had qualified for the national finals having progressed through regional, and Leinster competitions held in Dundalk and Mullingar in early March. The drama itself had plenty of humour, singing, dancing and some fantastic acting which really impressed the judge on the day. The school were also commended for their wonderful set and colourful costumes. There were forty pupils involved in the drama in various roles and they were supported by their teachers, SNAs and the entire school community. This is a momentous occasion for St. Joseph's and parents and friends of all the pupils had a tremendous evening when they gathered to celebrate this success.
