The sensational #DivasOfColour awards ceremony in association with International Women’s Day, took place on Saturday 21st March 2015 at the fabulous Hilton Hotel situated on Rotherhithe Street in South London. In this article, we take a look at who wore what as we cover the best dressed models, guests and VIP’s of the night.
The jam packed event started off with a Trade show from 12pm until 4.30pm, providing access to beauty brands such as Fashion Fair and Joliette for that last minute beauty touch up before show time at 5pm.
