RTÉ 2fm's Jen and Keith nominated for Style Awards
We're checking out the 'Most Stylish Woman' and 'Most Stylish Man' nominees at this year's VIP Style Awards, and chatting to RTÉ 2fm's Jennifer Zamparelli and Keith Walsh to get some style tips ahead of the awards.
Jennifer Zamparelli
How did you find out about the nomination?
I didn't find out live on radio, I got an e-mail. Keith found out on radio and he cried he was so happy. Took the spotlight off me though, which is so typical of him!
Describe your style.
My style is kind of a working mom who doesn't have time to brush her hair and has difficulty finding anything comfortable and hates shopping for jeans.
Where do you like to shop?
Well I wait to see if free stuff gets sent in....and then if that doesn't work, I''ll shop anywhere. I'm trying to be more conscious of where I shop but yeah, I'll shop anywhere, high street or high end.
Actually, I do like that place off St. Anne's Street...Cos!
Looking at all the women nominated, do you look to anyone as a style influencer?
Amanda Byram has great style, Daniella Moyles has great style...who else is on the list? Rosanna Davison has great style. I never take these things too seriously to be honest, I'm just happy to get a night out!
Not last year but the year before I won 'Most Stylish Woman on the Night' because I had just had my baby and people were amazed that I had managed to wash myself and get out.
Do you now feel like your style is wasted by working in radio?
Totally wasted in radio. Keith wore four different outfits on the show today, though, he's going for it. He's going for the award.

Keith Walsh
Did it surprise you to hear about your style award nomination on air?
It certainly did! I wouldn't have expected it but I am surprised and delighted.
Describe your style.
My style? Jeans and t-shirts. Just really simple jeans and t-shirt - I suppose it's kind of on the rock side of things, with skinny jeans and such.
Where do you shop?
I just like simple stuff, I like All Saints, Cos, and I'd shop in Zara. I just buy simple jeans and t-shirts, no writing or loads of pockets or zips or anything like that.
How are you feeling about the competition? Ready to take on Conor McGregor?
As long as I don't have to fight him... "
I actually think his checkered, three-piece suit look has been done", he joked.
Do you now feel like your style is wasted by working in radio?
I am completely wasted in radio. I should be on some form of media where people could see me... I can't think of one right now.
The VIP Style Awards take place Friday 21st April 2017. Be sure to vote for your favourite nominees here.
