Pollyanna said: “I’m delighted and honoured to be hosting this year’s Scottish Style Awards. I can’t wait to see everyone in Glasgow for what is sure to be another legendary occasion.”
Arriving to a soundtrack of popping corks at a Moët & Chandon reception, guests will be invited to top their champagne with Chambord before enjoying a gala dinner complemented with a Hennessy cocktail.
Ten prestigious presentations will be made with accolades spanning the nation’s Most Stylish Male – in which Outlander star Sam Heughan is set to take on playwright John Byrne – and Female, along with Tastemaker of the Year. In a Scottish Style Awards exclusive, a runway presentation, Deich bliadhna aig Muileann Shiaboist, celebrating the first decade of Harris Tweed Hebrides will pay tribute to the iconic fabric whose quality and provenance is loved by the world’s biggest and best designers, fashion houses and luxury brands.
