Saoirse Ronan’s Best Fashion Moments Through the Years: From Lady Bird to Little Women

06/04/2020 - 06:33 PM

Saoirse Ronan [1] has won over 60 awards for her impeccable acting, and she's only getting started. But her talent for creating unforgettable moments isn't limited to the big screen. It extends to her enviable sartorial skills, which only get better with each red carpet appearance.

Saoirse might have been acting since she was a wee one, garnering international recognition for her role in Atonement (2007) alongside Kiera Knightly, but it was her breakout role in Greta Gerwig's Lady Bird [2] (2017) that saw her adult debut. The moment that Saoirse accepted her "Best Actress" Golden Globe award for Gerwig's critically acclaimed film was the moment her personal style got stronger, and her confidence on the red carpet noticeably improved.

Before her big win in 2018, Saoirse dressed like any other stylish 20-something — in body-hugging midi dresses. Since she's grown into her Hollywood persona, she's taken some wonderful risks on the red carpet. Saoirse certainly loves a frothy, ruffled loose-fitting gown, but we also love seeing her in dramatic, sensual silhouettes. Ahead, 17 times that Saoirse Ronan's style was unforgettable.

Saoirse Ronan at the Paris Premiere of Little Women, December 2019

Saoirse wears Galvan's Spring 2020 scarlet-and-lavender colour-block lace Vollmond gown to the Paris Premiere of Little Women. While this style can look dated on some, Saoirse's take is fresh and unusual — we love how she matched her beauty look with the colours of the dress.

Saoirse Ronan at the the New York premiere of Mary Queen of Scots, December 2018

Saoirse wears a white Gucci Spring 2019 midi dress with ruffle details to the New York premiere of Mary Queen of Scots. She gives the dress the spotlight it deserves, by pairing it with simple gold heeled sandals and subtle makeup.

Saoirse Ronan at the Governors Awards in California, October 2019

Saoirse wears a black-and-white gingham jumpsuit from Emilia Wickstead Spring 2020 to the Governors Awards in 2019. This is one of our favourite looks from Saoirse over the years because it's so dynamic, although we would have preferred if the trousers were tailored a bit shorter for her height. She completed this look with Ana Khouri Penelope 18-karat diamond earrings, Giuseppe Zanotti heels, and a braided halo.

Saoirse Ronan at the EE British Academy Film Awards, February 2020

Saoirse wears a black custom-made Gucci gown to the 2020 BAFTA Awards. We love to see her in a dress that is tailored to her body, especially when the accessorising is so artful. Her rainbow-coloured Gucci drop earrings, simple coral lip, and avant-garde updo elevates this simple black gown to a memorable red carpet moment.

Saoirse Ronan at the Academy Awards, February 2020

Saoirse wears a Gucci gown to the 2020 Oscars that was a subtle nod to sustainability. The black fabric used on the gown was repurposed from her 2020 BAFTAs gown that she wore the previous weekend. This style is a bit all over the place, but we love the bodice and the fact that she is supporting sustainability.

Saoirse Ronan at the Critics' Choice Awards, January 2020

Saoirse wears a sheer white gown with salmon-pink embroidery from Erdem's Spring 2020 collection to the 2020 Critics' Choice Awards. She's certainly a fan of whimsical, ruffled dresses. Because the dress has a high neckline and is quite busy with the detailing, it was a good styling choice for Saoirse to keep her hair pulled back and her makeup simple with a red lip.

Saoirse Ronan at the Golden Globe Awards, January 2019

Saoirse wears a custom silver beaded gown by Gucci to the 2019 Golden Globes. She doesn't usually go the sexy route on the red carpet, so we love that she's wearing a daring naked illusion dress that is revealing while staying true to Saoirse's more demure red carpet style.

Saoirse Ronan at the Golden Globe Awards, January 2018

Saoirse started 2018 with a bang, in this '80s-inspired, futuristic-looking gown that she wore to the 2018 Golden Globes. Pictured, she won her first "Best Actress" film award for Lady Bird. This moment also marks the beginning of her major red carpet fashion moments.

Saoirse Ronan at the AACTA International Awards, January 2020

Saoirse wears a black strapless gown to the 2020 AACTA International Awards in Australia. This dress might not pop out at you at first glance, but there is a subtle edginess about it — from the oil-slick iridescent fabric to the exposed bodice construction.

Saoirse Ronan at the World Premiere of Mary Queen of Scots, December 2018

Saoirse wears an ethereal white gown from Carolina Herrera's Spring 2020 collection. The gown is such a great nod to the style of Mary Queen of Scots, which took place in the 1500s. It's a romantic look that doesn't look at all dated, and we love the smocked and ruffled details.

Saoirse Ronan at the Scotland Premiere of "Mary Queen of Scots"

Saoirse wears a breathtaking Christian Dior Haute Couture Autumn 2018 blush-coloured gown to the Scotland Premiere of Mary Queen of Scots, and she looks every bit a young Hollywood star.

Saoirse Ronan at the Calvin Klein Collection Fashion Show, September 2018

The year 2018 was the beginning of Saoirse's adult career, and we love how this Calvin Klein minidress shows her girlishness while nodding to her sophistication.

Saoirse Ronan at the Tribeca Film Festival afterparty in New York, April 2018

Saoirse wears a cream-coloured suit to a Tribeca Film Festival afterparty in 2018. It's around this time that she really started to show stronger personal style on the red carpet.

Saoirse Ronan at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, March 2018

Such a sweet look for Saoirse, a pale pink satin dress with tonal accessories that really complements her fair skin and blond hair. The colour pairings give a delicateness, without washing her out.

Saoirse Ronan at the Academy Awards Nominee Luncheon, February 2018

Saoirse wears an orange '90s-inspired spaghetti strap dress with a keyhole opening at the bust. Although we're unlikely to see her in something so casual on the red carpet anytime soon, we love her pre-Lady Bird style that looks like it could be out of the closet of any stylish 24 year old.

Saoirse Ronan at an Entertainment Weekly Event in California, January 2018

Saoirse's style before she hit the A-list was so relatable for any 20-something. We'd totally wear this understated white dress with an artful, asymmetrical third strap that she wore to an Entertainment Weekly event in 2018.

Saoirse Ronan at the Movies For Grownups Awards, February 2018

Although we love her fabulous red carpet looks, there's something about her pre-Golden Globe award style that is so natural and accessible. We would probably choose a different pair of sandals for this dress, but in 2018, her outfits fit her like a glove.
