Guests of this year's ieStyle Live event turned heads as they made their way to Cork City Hall on Thursday night for a night of style, conversation, and a curated dining experience.

City Hall was filled with the sound of people making new connections and reconnecting with friends and colleagues as soon as the doors opened as guests enjoyed a drinks reception ahead of a night of engaging live discussion and a showcase of the latest fashion. 

But it wasn't just the models, styled by Corina Gaffey, who were on trend in standout frocks, the colours of the season and matching sets.

Guests dressed to impress, and sequins proved popular — mirror-like metallic finishes and mixed textures. Autumnal browns, oxblood, and burgundy were also popular choices on the night, as well as colourful pinks and reds.
