Saoirse Ronan broke onto the Hollywood scene with an Oscar nomination at age 13 for her role alongside Keira Knightley in Atonement. Since then, the Bronx-born Brooklyn star has starred in critically acclaimed films like Hanna (with Cate Blanchett) and Greta Gerwig’s Academy Award–nominated Lady Bird.

While mastering the screen and stage, the 23-year-old actress has cultivated a bold personal style that mirrors her accomplished career. She’s unafraid of flashy prints and patterns and will just as soon grace the red carpet wearing a colorful Duro Olowu dress as an elegant, sequined Calvin Klein Collection gown. A noted fan of legacy brands such as Burberry and Lanvin, as well as edgier brands like Roksanda and Emilia Wickstead, Saoirse has established the new standard for indie-cool red-carpet looks. See the Irish actor’s best looks from capri pants to couture gowns below.
