The IFTAS. The Gunas. Oh My... Twas a fashion fare at The Convention Centre last Saturday night what with the IFTA Awards rolling into town. There were some frocky horror sights, some pleasant surprises, some pregnant bellys, and of course Ruth Negga who managed to run-away with the most stylish outfit without going down the dreaded Debs dress route... Ruth Negga In a lime green knee length number, you might have thought that cuter than a button actress Ruth Negga would look an awful sight at the IFTAs folks. Not so. She somehow managed to effortlessly surpass the rest of her contemporaries - some of which looked as if they were on the way to a Prom. In a hurry... Taxi! Emma Waldron But a special mention has to also go out to former Miss Ireland Emma Waldron who of late has taken a new bold direction in the style stakes. Last night our poor wee snapper was taken aback when she emerged from The Shelbourne Hotel in a completely see-through red lace gown... Question is, did we zoom-in on the above piccy to see was she wearing anything underneath? Bleedin' right we did... But we're not telling what we did or did not see. Perv's honour. Amy Huberman Right. Other than that we had the likes of Amy Huberman, Jennifer Maguire, Kathryn Thomas, Maire Treasa Ni Dhughaill, Rozanna Purcell, Aoibheann McCaul, Aoibhin Garrihy, Olivia Tracey, Sonya Lennon, and many more... All dressed up to the nines... Some of 'em tens. Jennifer Maguire But we'll cut it short here folks and leave the style judging to you lot. Doesn't seem right that we slag of other people's threads when we're sitting writing this wearing nothing more than a pair of green wellingtons and a smile... Saying that, we're looking forward to seeing what Emma Waldron's gonna wear next. She's Ireland's Lady Gaga.

Wendy – Naughty Land February 17, 2012 - 14:12 Sexy Indeed Mr Watcher but alas I do not bat for the other side, doesn't mean the female form hasn't noticed me in the past.......;-) Kate February 17, 2012 - 01:24 What is that tacky shiny dress Aoibheann McCaul is wearing, it is like a christmas decoration, cringe! And Roz Purcell andEmma Waldron look tacky.I think at least Emily Keogh isn't so sxxtty looking, Ruth Negga is truly beautiful. What a shining example is Fionnula Flanagan. The Watcher – Outside your window February 16, 2012 - 23:54 Wendy! Still chosing I see....You play for the other team too I see?!? Hmmmm sexy!.... Donna February 15, 2012 - 23:10 Diana, Amy, Ruth - big thumbs up! Emily McKeogh and Maria D-K - give your grannies back their dressing gowns! Jennifer Maguire - fail! Rozanna - usually loks great but not tonight - dress doesn't suit. Miriam O Callaghan gets better with age, always think she pulls off whatever she's wearing! Faye February 15, 2012 - 18:19 Amy huberman looks simply stunning, actually one of the only ones that looked like a movie star on the night itself. Ruth Negga looks fab! Emily mc looks natural and pretty, Is Rozanna going to a debs?! look at the belly welly. The dress doesn't hang right on her. Emma: ummm nope dear, doesn't suit you. Lisa Fitz looks gorgeous. Diana looks simple and classy, the way it should be. Felix Steiner – Berlin February 15, 2012 - 15:25 Has Emma Waldron ever done any TV or film work? Just asking. Robert Ritter von Greim – Hamburg February 15, 2012 - 10:34 Ruth Negga and Katie van Buren would get it. The rest, not so much. Sally – Dublin February 15, 2012 - 00:48 Sonya Lennon looks so bad, I cannot believe she is Ireland's top style guru. Tilda Swindon wannabe. Ruth Negga, on the otherhand, absolute elegance Heidi – Skerries February 14, 2012 - 17:24 Don't think Sonia Lennon's dress is nice at all, sorry. I agre withShowbiz - Ruth Negga looks the best here followed by Charlene McKenna. I am struggling to recgnise half the people here. Fade St people must've got cancellation tickets. GER February 14, 2012 - 17:02 Emily McKeogh whoever you are sack the stylist. The only elegant woman here is Maura Derrane! stargirl – dublin February 14, 2012 - 15:40 Emma, Emily and Roz fab as always :) Reinhard Heydrich – Bohemia & Moravia February 13, 2012 - 15:45 You'd think someone who only made a few cameo appearances in Fade Street would be too embarrassed to turn up to a TV awards ceremony. Oh wait, this is Ireland. Wendy – Ireland February 13, 2012 - 15:32 Ok if I had to choose it would be Aoibhin Garrihy or Diana Bunici.... minimal flesh and elegance .... leanne February 13, 2012 - 14:31 Diana's dress is gorgeous, Maura Derrane looks well, Ciara o Callaghan is stunning but bad choice of dress, Emily McKeogh, very pretty but disastrous dress, Roz looks a bit OTT, Kathryns make up is terrible, The two Aoibhinns look like they're off to the debs, Amy's dress is fab but the dark hair colour ages her, Emma Waldron ??!!! Wendy – Ireland February 13, 2012 - 13:30 None of the dresses get a thumbs up from me ...... Peter – Dulbin February 13, 2012 - 10:58 Aoibheann McCaul and Roz Purcell are so try hard and tacky. Really she is wearing the most tasteless and tacky red dress, looks like she was wrapped up in tinsel. And far too much make up on most. Amy Huberman, Antonia Campbell Hughes and Ruth Negga have class. queer eye February 13, 2012 - 10:13 i thought this was the Rose of Tralee! kathryn kathryn kathryn. . . . seriously? Wendy – Ireland February 13, 2012 - 10:08 Green wellingtons and a smile, intriguing........... Dom February 13, 2012 - 09:44 Seriously this is embarassing if this is the Irish version of the Oscars, I've never seen so many unattractive women in my life. Roz looks about 50 and Emily McKeogh (whoever she is) her dress is revolting. I haven't even heard of three quarters of them. TV stars? LOL! Heinrich Himmler – Berlin February 13, 2012 - 09:30 The IFTAs, as ever, a case of "Who's That?" as opposed to "Who's Who" SHOWBIZ.IE – Recommended Links: February 13, 2012 - 01:14 IFTA: www.ifta.ie Leave a Comment * Your name * Your email address (will not be published) Your location Remember me ? ?
