While May isn't the traditional time for Award Ceremonies, she sure beats everyone quivering and getting 'frostbit' on the red carpet in the depths of winter. The time of year may also explain why the proliferation of white gowns at last night's Irish Film and Television Awards (the winners of which you can see here) was rife... Host Caroline Morahan got the ball rolling in this Armani off-the-shoulder number...

Aoibhinn Garrihy (she used to be on Fair City) and Mary Murray from Love/Hate and also opted for a classic white guna...

While Aisling Franciosi from The Fall shook things up a bit in a white trouser suit (The Kooples) - which are all the rage this year, don't you know.

Then there was the 'off-white' brigade, championed by Amy Huberman (in Alex Perry) and Collete Fitzpatrick, among others...

As expected, red also featured heavily, coming clad on the likes of Sinead Desmond, Glenda Gilson, and Aisling O'Loughlin...

Moving on, looking simply sublime in a vintage powder blue frock Grace Kelly would've bitten her hand off for, we have Love/Hate's Charlie Murphy...

Amanda Byram set about ruffling a few feathers in Umit Kutluk...

While, at the other end of the spectrum, we have Outlander's Catriona Balfe in a simple guna.


 
Our favourite look of the night, however, was worn by Sarah Greene. She channeled Marion Cotillard in custom Helen Cody.
