Saoirse Ronan looked sensational as she walked the red carpet for the 70th Tony Awards at the Beacon Theatre in New York on Sunday.
The 22-year-old looked chic and sophisticated in a nude-blush Stella McCartney gown with a subtle triangle cut-out. The Brooklyn actress opted for a simplistic loose up-do allowing her fresh face and natural make-up to shine through.
Ronan is currently starring in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible on Broadway, which was nominated for Best Revival of a Play at the Tonys which recognise achievement in Broadway theatre.
The Crucible is based on the Salem witch trials of 1692 with Ronan's character Abigail Williams the teenager who tries to use the town's terror to her own advantage.
She is joined onstage by Ben Whishaw as ex-lover John Proctor, Sophie Okonedo as his wife Elizabeth and Ciarán Hinds as the conceited Deputy-Governor Danforth.
The play is directed by Ivo van Hove, who recently directed the David Bowie musical Lazarus, which Bowie wrote with Irish playwright Enda Walsh.
"It's The Crucible - no pressure!" Ronan previously told Pat Kenny on Newstalk. "A journalist asked me when I was away, 'Have you started thinking about The Crucible?' and I haven't thought about anything else but the play for the last year-and-a-half."
She added: "It's completely new territory for me. I didn't ever train. I've never done a play before, apart from playing a tree in a school play when I was six. I felt like I did a good job. I represented that tree!"

James Corden hosted the ceremony and paid tribute to the victims of Sunday’s Orlando massacre.
“On behalf of the whole theatre community and every person in this room, our hearts go out to all of those affected by this atrocity,” said Corden.
“All we can say is you are not on your own right now. Your tragedy is our tragedy. Theatre is a place where every race, creed, sexuality and gender is equal, is embraced and is loved. Hate will never win.
"Together, we have to make sure of that. Tonight’s show stands as a symbol and a celebration of that principle. This is the Tony Awards.”
