Roz Purcell: ‘I Got My Style Awards Dress In The Sale At Christmas!’

Sauntering onto the Peter Mark VIP Style Awards red carpet in an black velvet Chloe gown, STELLAR’s May cover girl Roz Purcell looked every bit the edgy glamour queen.

But the model revealed just now that her gorgeous dress was in fact a last season purchase from Chloe, which she nabbed in the Brown Thomas Christmas sale.

“It was €3,000 and I got it for €500 in the sale,” Roz told Stellar.ie proudly, adding that tonight was in fact the dress’s second outing.

“I wore it to a wedding but no-one really saw it so it’s perfect. Plus, it’s really comfy – I can eat a lot in this dress which is the main thing!”

As a food blogger and recently published cookbook author, it’s no surprise that Roz constantly has food on the brain. Indeed, when asked what she’s most looking forward to about tonight, her instant reply was “The food!”

So interested was Roz in tonight’s three course dinner, that she admitted she had checked in with The Marker’s Head Chef Gareth Mullins earlier this week to find out what he was plating up.

“I already know what’s on the menu!” she laughed.

And with the red carpet interviews and photos done and dusted, Roz said she was looking forward to chilling out with a glass of bubbly.

“I’m always really weird about the red carpet because I feel so awkward, but once I get inside I can relax.”

Comfy dress, food on the brain… Roz is definitely a girl after our own hearts.
