MODELS, actors, musicians and dancers took to the stage in Newport for the Fashion Wales LIVE event.

Held in the Newport Centre on Friday night, more than 250 performers wowed the crowds in the event which was held to raise money for the city's youth organisation Urban Circle.

More than 1,300 tickets were sold for the annual event, now celebrating its third year.

The line-up included performers from across Gwent and South Wales, including Newport dance troupe Dance Katz.

TV presenter Josie D'Arby hosted the event, which featured highlights such as a performance from Coleg Gwent students inspired by the Rio de Janeiro carnival which was set to music composed by former Bettws High School pupil Jon Lilygreen, who hopes to represent Cyprus in the Eurovision song contest.

Newport band The Guns took to the stage and the night was closed with a set by band The Automatic.
