Well-known faces from the world of fashion, music, stage and screen will gather in Glasgow on Friday for the Scottish Style Awards.

Founded in 2005, the annual awards bash is being held at the city's Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.

The event, now in its fourth year, honours the most stylish Scottish individuals and enterprises.

Garbage singer Shirley Manson, nominated in the Most Stylish Female category, is rumoured to be flying in from America to attend the event.

This year husband and wife team actress Kelly Macdonald and Travis bassist Dougie Payne could be crowned Scotland's most stylish couple.

Macdonald has been nominated alongside Manson for Most Stylish Female, while Payne is up for Most Stylish Male.

Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie, singer-songwriter Calvin Harris and Texas singer Sharleen Spiteri are among those going head to head for the title of Most Stylish Band or Musician.

The Most Stylish Hotel category includes Cameron House near Loch Lomond, The Rutland in Edinburgh and Saint Judes in Glasgow.

Style Awards founder Mary McGowne said: "The Scottish Style Awards 2008 promises to be the most glamourous night of the year and by far the most spectacular yet."

Host Lauren Laverne added: "It's so exciting to be part of a stylish occasion which celebrates the very best in fashion, music, the arts and all things creative."
