Saoirse Ronan has got a pretty sweet deal right now.
At just 23 years old, she’s already received two nominations for best actress – including one tonight for her leading role in Greta Gerwig’s lady bird.
Meanwhile, I’m 25 and currently eating a sharing-size bag of crisps at my desk… at 1.30am.
When your life is looking that peachy, it only makes sense to steer away from anything too dark and serious, and instead rock up to the Oscars red carpet in something fun, young, and cool.
Enter a simple pink dress by Calvin Klein.
Strapless, sleek, but with a bow in the back for some added fun, Saoirse’s red carpet dress is perfectly fitting for a young actress who’s absolutely nailing it. It’s not too fussy, too over the top, or too boring – just simple and pretty.
Ronan’s stylist, Elizabeth Saltzman, told WWD they didn’t want to do anything too dark.
‘The whole thing was about lightness and light, and more timeless and fun,’ said Elizabeth. ‘There needed to be an element of something special, but it really had to do with it focusing on Saoirse and it being modern, but iconic and timeless.’
