So… THIS is how Pippa O’Connor does eight months’ pregnant
The Image Business Of Beauty Awards: a glittering gala black tie dinner event held last night at Dublin’s swish DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel.
Hosted by the always dapper Darren Kennedy, in attendance were 500 industry professionals.
Suffice to say then that it’s a date in the diary that most eight months’ pregnant women would dread.
Not so for Pippa O’Connor, however, who is expecting her second child with her TV presenter husband Brian Ormond.
The 31-year-old, walked away with the award for Best Irish Beauty Blogger – and looked all sorts of oh-so-amazing in the process.
Wearing a slinky black dress with lace detail and studded orange Louboutins, Ms O’Connor – already mum to three-year-old Ollie – truly turned heads.
In fact, we dare say she hardly looks pregnant at all – never mind being on the verge of giving birth.
The former model recently enjoyed a romantic babymoon with her husband of five years: the duo hit Paris for a weekend break earlier this month. Making sure to hit the likes of the Eiffel Tower, Pippa said she “loved every minute,” of the trip.
And taking to her popular blog, pippa.ie, the Kildare-native said last month that she was “starting to feel” more pregnant.
“I’m feeling much bigger with a proper bump now!” she wrote. “I’m starting to get a little uncomfortable some days – just with back pain and aches.”
More recently she revealed that clothes that fitted her “only a week or 2 ago all of a sudden don’t now- the rapid growth at the moment is crazy”.
She continued: “Baby is definitely getting big and strong each day – the kicks are so intense now and sometimes stop me in my tracks they’re that hard.”
The third annual Image Business Of Beauty Awards were held in association with Imedeen, Colgate and Boots, and recognised Ireland’s best beauty therapists and hairdressers as well as the country’s standout hair salons, beauty salons and skincare clinics.
Salon winners on the night included Waxperts; Tropical Popical, and Mimi’s Beauty Room.
