The actress chose an elegant one-shoulder dress.

If you’re looking for inspiration for party season style, Saoirse Ronan is a great place to start. This week, while promoting her new film Blitz on The Graham Norton Show, she demonstrated how impactful simplicity can be in fashion.

Wearing a striking black one-shoulder dress made from textured, shimmering fabric, Ronan’s midi-length outfit featured a draped sleeve for added elegance.

While it can be tempting to overdo the styling with a simple dress, Ronan opted for a refined look, pairing her outfit with classic black pumps and bare legs, along with small huggy hoop earrings adorned with single diamond stones. Her hair was styled in a sleek center-parted bun, and her makeup was kept natural with bronzed skin, a hint of mascara, and a sophisticated taupe manicure.

The 30-year-old shared the stage with fellow actors Denzel Washington, Eddie Redmayne, and Paul Mescal. She made headlines during the show when she interjected a conversation about women’s safety.

Redmayne had been discussing his training for the miniseries The Day of the Jackal, where he learned how to use a phone for self-defense in case of an attack. Mescal remarked, “Who is actually going to think about that? If someone attacked me, I’m not going to go ‘phone.’” Ronan responded by saying, “That’s what girls have to think about all the time.” After a brief pause, she added, “Am I right, ladies?” which elicited cheers and applause from the audience.
