Saoirse Ronan may not have won Best Actress at the Oscars last night, but she made sure to steal the show.

The Irish actress charmed the Hollywood elite at the Academy Awards, where she was nominated for her starring role in Brooklyn.

The 21-year-old has even become an internet meme thanks to her hijinks on the red carpet, which included photo bombing E! reporter Ryan Seacrest.

Meanwhile, she stunned in a custom Calvin Klein gown, which was a nod to Saoirse’s love for the Emerald Isle – and check out her differently coloured earrings. New trend alert?

And although the nominated star didn’t scoop a gong, the ceremony remained an amazing night for Irish cinema.

Dubliner Ben Cleary won best live action short for Stutterer while Brie Larson, an odds-on favourite, took Best Actress for Irish director Lenny Abrahamson’s Room, which is based on Irish writer Emma Donoghue’s novel.

The overall big winner on the night was Spotlight, which nabbed Best Picture, while everyone is talking about Leonardo DiCaprio finally getting his Oscar for Best Actor in The Revenant. 

The highlights of the show are being broadcast on RTÉ 2 at 9pm tonight.
