AceShowbiz - Saoirse Ronan, the American-Irish actress, wowed attendees as she walked the red carpet of on "The Outrun" premiere in London Wednesday, September 18. The 30-year-old star made a striking impression in a stunning black jumpsuit, featuring structured shoulders, a plunging V-neckline and a leather criss-cross belt detail at the waist. Completing her chic look, she added a pair of black leather court heels and silver drop earrings. Her blonde tresses styled into loose, tousled waves and a flawless makeup palette of black winged eyeliner highlighted her radiant beauty.
Joining Saoirse at the premiere was her co-star Paapa Essiedu, who looked sharp in a grey pinstripe blazer and trousers paired with a dusky pink shirt and smart black leather shoes. The cast ensemble also included "Game of Thrones" actor Stephen Dillane, with other notable attendees such as journalist Amy Liptrot, actress Saskia Reeves, film producer Sarah Brocklehurst, and singer Paloma Faith.
"The Outrun" follows the journey of a young woman named Rona who returns to the Orkney Islands in Scotland after a stint in rehab for alcoholism. The film, which had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January, has received critical acclaim, not only for its compelling storyline but also for the poignant performances by its cast members.
In addition to her professional achievements, Saoirse Ronan spoke passionately about her pride in being an Irish actress and the impact of the women who paved the way in the industry. "Think of Sinead [O'Connor], or Sharon [Horgan], everyone who was around in the seventies, eighties and nineties, who just didn't give a f**k and moved away from the template that had been set," she said, reflecting on the strength and bravery of her predecessors. She emphasized the unique challenges faced by Irish women, stating, "There's been a lot to overcome for all women, but I think in a country like Ireland, where there was such ownership over us in every sense-physically, emotionally, spiritually, financially-how unbelievably brave."
Looking ahead, Saoirse Ronan's upcoming film "Blitz", directed by Steve McQueen, promises to be another significant addition to her already impressive filmography. The historical drama will feature a strong cast, including Leigh Gill and Harris Dickinson.
