IFTAs

It was all black and white on the night: yes, on the Iftas red-carpet yesterday the stylish stars stuck to what they know best – and that means duplicating many of the looks that also dominated back in May.

For the first time this year, the glitzy ceremony was split into two high-profile nights: the film and drama awards, which took place in May, and last night's bash – which honoured achievements in the television industry.

But while the two events means two excuses to dress up for a host of high-profile celebs, most stuck to what they know best: and that evidently means LOTS of black and white. 

Yes, keeping things cool and classic, an array of Ifta attendees then and now opted for monochrome hues, with bright colour very much being the exception rather than the rule on both evenings.

Amanda Byram, Ronan and Storm Keating, Imelda May, Rachel Wyse, Vogue Williams, Rosanna Davison, Colette Fitzpatrick and Lucy Kennedy: they ALL shunned colour.

Here, SHEmazing! takes a look at the best red-carpet black-and-white style from the 2015 Iftas…

Boyzone and Westlife fans alike got seriously excited earlier this week when rumours of a combined reunion tour began circulating.

And by "circulating", we mean one band member in particular dropping some VERY heavy hints on his personal Facebook page.

#musicmonday just a quick look at some old-times… These 2 young Irish groups made there mark on the world.. Although…

Posted by Shane Lynch on Monday, 19 October 2015

​Boyzone's Shane Lynch sent the internet into overdrive on Monday when he posted this image online with the caption "MAYBE ITS TIME to join forces and do one of the biggest tour's we have ever seen… #‎justsaying‬."

But sadly it seems that a Boyzone/Westlife tour is just a pipe dream of poor Shaneo's, at least according to former Boyzone frontman Ronan Keating.

"Shane loves to stir the pot! There’s no plans for anything at the moment," he told Goss.ie from the IFTAs red carpet.

"You never know [what might happen] – but there’s no plans right now."

The Dubliner attended the star-studded gala with his new wife Storm – who looked downright stunning in a sheer black gown with geometric detailing, teamed with black and gold jewellery.

The pair tied the knot in country ceremony in East Lothian, Scotland two months ago, with singer Ed Sheeran there to serenade them at the reception.

"Ed's a good friend and Thinking Out Loud is one of mine and Storm's songs," Ronan told HELLO! magazine.

"I was blown away. He is the most grounded, decent guy in the business and what a talent."

Well, if a Boyzone/Westlife tour is off the cards, can we at least hope for a Ronan/Ed duet?!

M·A·C Cosmetics were the  Official Makeup Partner of the Irish Film & Television Awards for the eight time this year; however, it seems celebs were more natural this year than in other years.

Talking about the makeup style this year M·A·C Senior Artist, Lesley Keane, said she noticed “a move towards more natural beauty with a focus on well defined brows and full lashes.”

It seems warm and deep colours are the top tones this season as the celebs sported caramels and apricots. Pastels are still holding their own as Keane noticed lavender was a popular colour for eyes along with jade green.

Classic metallic’s in golds, coppers and pewters will always be around and were popular on the red carpet again this year.

According to Lesley, others went the complete opposite from the natural look and “adopted a more individual look inspired by catwalk trends” including “orange, fuchsia, lavender and even gothic purple colours”.

M·A·C  makeup artists were at the event’s Beauty Suite to provide makeup  services to the stars and were backstage for ‘on the spot’ touch-ups for guests and presenters.
