Were you there did you see it, smell it, taste it! The red carpet was rolled out, the flash guns were set to stun, filmed from every angle; Tweets full of excitement and ego; hair and makeup preened to the max – then there were the clothes, garments, jewellery, bags and of course those… shoes!
Congratulations to all the winners, the nominees and all those involved – a rather fabulous night. Next year though, let’s get it back in Scotland where it belongs – or let’s face it, we may as well hold it in Paris, New York, Milan… wait, is that the plan?
