Vogue Williams has more strings to her bow than we know how to count.

Since starring in the Irish reality TV show Fade Street in 2010, the Howth woman has carved out a space for herself as a TV presenter, multi-brand ambassador, Bare By Vogue founder, radio presenter, DJ, podcaster, Flexi-apper, and social media personality.

Not to mention her high-profile relationship with former Made in Chelsea star, Spencer Matthews - a marriage that has produced three children (Theodore, Gigi, Otto) and two Channel 4 shows (Spencer, Vogue and Wedding Two, Spencer, Vogue and Baby Too).

Despite this, it is her role as a podcaster that has skyrocketed Williams to fame, sharing her opinions on the latest celebrity headlines and detailing her personal life through down-to-earth conversations with comedian and friend Joanne McNally on their podcast My Therapist Ghosted Me.

With over a million followers on Instagram, it's clear that there is an appetite to constantly learn more about Vogue Williams' life, and it seems that she's happy to provide - even when she's on her holidays.

When we speak, the beauty entrepreneur is walking the beaches of St Barths stealing an hour away from the kids, squeezing in our chat before a trip to the gym.

"People are so nice, they don't want to interrupt the holiday, but it's not really a holiday," she promises. "I'm still working. I quite like being interrupted. I feel lazy when I go on holidays, so I do bits and bobs with work to keep me going."

Having recently wrapped her position as the Grand Marshal of this year's National Saint Patrick's Day Parade, Williams is ready to take on her next role as an ambassador to Dundrum Town Centre's Beauty MRKT event.

Following a successful debut in 2025, Beauty MRKT returns from Friday, 24 April to Sunday, 26 April. The three-day beauty takeover will explore the latest trends, uncover new products and techniques, and host expert panel talks and demonstrations.

"Its like an addiction, I swear to God," she says. "If I wasn't doing what I'm doing, I would work in the skin industry. I love learning anything to do with skin; I love my nightly routine of doing my skincare and taking my make-up off. I absolutely love it, I can't get enough.

"Some people would say it's vain, I would say it's just looking after yourself."

Over the weekend, Vogue will discuss the latest trends, products and treatments she's loving. Something that fans of the My Therapist Ghosted Me podcast will know all about.

"If something is too spicy, I'll usually send Joanne [McNally] in first," she laughs.

"I love the basics, I love finding a great new brand that does something well," she continues. "Vitamin C is something I love - I use it every day, it's really good for pigmentation and fine lines and wrinkles - so that's something I'll always go back to."

As much as she loves her treatments, though, Williams says she's glad to see the lack of filler in faces in 2026.

"It works for some people, but I just think it can be so bad for others," she insists. "People just see it as a quick, easy fix, but actually, if you're really looking after your skin and using the right products, you don't need that kind of s**t in your face."

"I love Botox, don't get me wrong, but you have to be so careful about where you're going for all those things."

For Vogue, her role as ambassador is a chance to guide beauty lovers in the right direction, leading people to expert advice rather than relying on viral trends.

"With this Beauty MRKT, it's about people being able to sit and chat with somebody in the know and understands skin, and isn't just trying to sell you crap," she says. "I think it's really important to have that."

The unmissable event of the weekend will undoubtedly be Vogue's conversation with panel host and beauty enthusiast Triona McCarthy.

"Any questions I ever tell PR I don't want to answer or I don't want to touch on that, Triona will be in there," she laughs. "She doesn't give a sh**e, I love her. I think she's really clever, she really understands it, and she does it in a fun way. She's a no-holds-barred person."

In Ireland, skincare and beauty brands - particularly those run by female founders - have been thriving.

As the founder of BARE by Vogue, a premium Irish self-tanning brand now celebrating seven years in business, Williams says she's thrilled to be a part of the scene.

"Caitriona Ryan, my dermatologist, is heaven-sent from above," she says, listing some of her favourite names in the industry.

"Aimee Connolly [of Sculpted by Aimee] is doing an amazing job - I absolutely love her - her make-up is at such a good price point, and it lasts so well. LUNA Haircare - that's another Irish girl who is doing really well. The Smooth Stick - that's such a great product."

"There are so many amazing female entrepreneurs," she insists, rushing to add as many names as possible. "POCO by Pippa - I love what Pippa is doing; her brand is gorgeous.

"There's just so many girls who are doing really, really well in Ireland. Massive entrepreneurs! It's such a nice thing to see."

Ticketed events at the Beauty MRKT are on sale now and are priced from €10.
