Actress Saoirse Ronan is no stranger to the red carpet, so it’s little surprise that her look at last night’s Tony Awards ceremony was picture-perfect.

The star – who made her Broadway debut back in March with The Crucible – looked stunning in a floor-length barely blush gown with a subtle torso cut-out and soft fishtail end.

The 22-year-old ensured that nothing distracted from the simplistic elegance of the figure-hugging Stella McCartney dress by accessorising only with a pair of simple drop earrings and a thin gold cuff on her wrist.

She allowed her fair complexion to take centre stage with a barely-there makeup look created by New York-based makeup artist Talia Sparrow.

Speaking about the star's style, Talia told InStyle: "We went for a modern and romantic look with youthful, dewy skin…we wanted to keep the look clean and fresh, while sculpting without contouring."

The Brooklyn actress’s look was completed with a low-key hairstyle which had been loosely pulled back into a low braided bun.

The popular and highly acclaimed actress co-presented an award on the night with Girls actor Andrew Rannells.

The star-studded event was hosted by comedian James Corden, who opened the show with a heartfelt tribute to the victims of the Orlando shooting.

Time was that a red carpet event was an everyday occurrence on the busy Irish social scene.

After all, who can forget the likes of the VIP Style and the TV Now awards being the hottest tickets in town?

Charlize Theron would pop along to the Meteors, while the Iftas also boasted oodles of Hollywood attendees.

Duchess Kate and her Mammy Middleton would swing by for a weekend break in our capital (circa spring 2007), making sure to stop by a fancy-pants, red-carpeted gallery launch while they were in town.

Then there was the Eurovision, an iron-clad stable of the mid-Nineties. Even the MTV Europe Music Awards came to Dublin back in 1999 (where Christina, Mariah, Britney and Whitney – *swoon* – ALL made an appearance).

Of course, red carpet events still take place: but we dare say that there’s not quite as much glitz nor as much glam these days. Yes, the dresses are more muted; the hair decidedly less full.

Thankfully, however, you may yet have reason to dust off your Gina sandals.

Yes, the inaugural black-tie Gossies are taking place this Sunday in Dublin and suffice to say that the guestlist (Vogue Williams, Rosanna Davison, Nicola Hughes and Roz Purcell) is as impressive as anything 2006 could have offered us. Hurrah!

Here, in honour of the glamorous Gossies (where a total of 18 awards will be up for grabs), we examine the five key red carpet styles we can expect to see on the night…

 

1) Dressed to the nines

A big night out means only one thing: a really big dress. Take inspiration from Lisa Cannon in Vera Wang:

 

2) Keeping it casual

The ‘oh this old thing’ vibe. Look to Mariah Carey – dressed down in a black vest and ripped denim jeans – for ideas:

 

3) Look at me

The UTV Ireland cameras will be there at the Gossies, so expect a few head-turners, just like Michelle Keegan:

 

4) Dividing opinion

They’ll love it or they’ll hate it. Check out Lorraine Keane in a Deborah Veale gown to perfect your look:

 

5) Classic is best

Why try and reinvent the wheel – keep it simple like Kathryn Thomas:

Well, we weren't expecting this to come out on the red carpet tonight.

Suranne Jones, of Doctor Foster fame, has very publicly revealed she is pregnant.

The actress, who married in a secret ceremony last year to Laurence Akers, stepped out on the red carpet with a full and beautiful baby bump.

The Corrie alum is up for the Best Drama Performance at tonight's National Television Awards in London. 

We're hoping she wins, but if not, she sure made a stunning baby bump debut.

Ah, award season. We all love the glitz and glam of awards season, but sometimes the celebs choices don't exactly live up to expectations.

On the other hand, there are the few that totally nail it, and look better and better every year. Here, we look back on last night and the stars that dominated the red carpet… and the ones that, well… didn't. 

Best dressed

Lady Gaga – Versace

We don't think we've ever seen Lady Gaga look so ladylike. We adore her black velvet gown.

 

Kate Hudson – Michael Kors Collection

Keeping in with the hottest trends, Kate can really rock a crop top. Sure with her bod, she can get away with anything.

 

Saoirse Ronan – Saint Laurent

Saoirse hit all the right notes last night. Wearing a Saint Laurent gown, she looked like a golden goddess. 

 

Jenna Dewan Tatum – Zuhair Murad

Channing must be one happy man! Jenna looked oh-so-elegant in this Zuhair Murad dress.

 

Cate Blanchett – Givenchy

Taking inspiration from the 1920's, Cate nailed this look fro head to toe. 

 

Jennifer Lopez – Giambattista Vali

The ever-daring J Lo stood out from the crowd in this yellow Giambattista Vali dress. She never fails on the red carpet.

 

Kate Bosworth – Dolce & Gabbana

We are totally crushing on Kate's Dolce & Gabbana dress. All the sequins, but in a great stand-out colour.

 

Worst dressed

Katy Perry – Prada

While there's nothing exactly wrong, we think it's a bit boring for award season. She does look smokin' hot though.

 

Julianne Moore – Tom Ford

Julianne has a fab body for her age, but we think this sequin gown is a bit much and the light is hitting it in all the wrong places.

 

Eva Longoria – Georges Hobeika

We can see where Eva was going with this look, but it reminds us a bit too much of our granny's tablecloth. Sorry, Eva. 

 

Sophia Bush – Narciso Rodriguez

Oh, Sophia. You were our fave in One Tree Hill but we're afraid, like Katy, this look is just too boring. 

 

America Ferrera – Jenny Packham

And the debs dresses have arrived! While America shines bright in yellow, we feel like we've gone back to debs season. Not good. 

 

Undecided

Heidi Klum – Marchesa

Let's be real, Heidi always looks great. But, we're so undecided on this dress. We love it, yet the feathers are a bit over-kill.

 

Jennifer Lawrence – Dior

J Law can get it sooo right; and then so wrong. We're kinda getting thrown off by the big diamond necklace, but still, she looks very elegant.

By now, we all know when Miley Cyrus and a red carpet come together, it means that something is definitely going to go down. 

She's had so many outrageous red carpet moments that we can't even count them anymore. 

So when she revealed on Instagram that she's not going to walk another red carpet – ever – it came as a bit of a surprise. 

In an IG post dedicated to the red carpet premiere of Netflix's A Very Murray Christmas, Miley showed off a festively chic white outfit and a Christmas-appropriate ugly sweater. 

But it was her caption that stood out the most:

 

#averymurraychristmas @netflix #f**kyeahbillmurray #mylastredcarpet 4eva

A photo posted by Miley Cyrus (@mileycyrus) on

Now it could be some hidden joke that we don't know about, but writing "#mylastredcarpet 4eva" seems like a pretty big promise.

Only time will tell!

Yesterday we reported that the split between Kylie Jenner and rapper Tyga was OFF, as she posted a Snapchat of them cuddling up on the couch together.

But last night, at the AMAs, Kylie didn't seem one bit interested with her beau as she walked away from him all night, reports the Daily Mail. 

Kylie walked the red carpet with her supermodel sister, Kendall and they both looked absolutely fierce. The sisters donned very revealing outfits with Kylie going for a dominatrix-style chain outfit and Kendall rocking a backless mini-dress. 

Followed closely behind on the red carpet was Tyga, but Kylie didn't talk or even glance his way as she entered into the Microsoft building in LA. Instead, she clutched onto Kendall's hand. 

The outing of the pair comes just after Tyga released what appeared to be a diss track about Kylie, which could explain the 18-year-old's cold shoulder. 

But it later emerged that the couple had been together earlier in the day, as Kylie shared a Snapchat video of Tyga dancing. 

We honestly don't know what is going on with these two, but one thing's for sure, they're certainly playing the hot and cold game.

She's one of the most glamorous and impeccably styled young celebrities out there: yup, Kylie Jenner rarely looks anything other than totally immaculate.

And on a night out with her long-term beau, Tyga, last night in West Hollywood, the 18-year-old reality TV star certainly donned head-turning attire.

Dining at The Nice Guy restaurant, Kylie wore a black long sleeved Steven Khalil jumpsuit complete with plunging neckline (wardrobe malfunction alert!).

Carrying an Hermes clutch and walking tall in black stilettoes, Ms Jenner completed her red-carpet worthy look with the addition of a striking full-length leather fringed belt.

Tyga, on the other hand, was entirely dressed down: he opted for ripped scruffy jeans, a black jumper and – gasp! – even a beige baseball cap.

Controversially, the 25-year-old rapper also wore a pair of black man Uggs.

His wardrobe can't be all bad, however: earlier in the week, Kylie was seen at the Glamour Woman Of The Year awards wearing one of Tyga's oversized denim jackets.

Oh, Jen. When will you learn. The fabulously clumsy star has managed to fall yet again on the red carpet. 

The 25-year-old took another tumble at the Madrid premiere of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2. 

A fan of the star caught the fall on their phone and shared it on to Twitter. It appears that her heels got caught on the train of her gorgeous Ralph Lauren gown, making her fall flat on her face. 

As we all know it's not the first time the actress has fallen at a big event. She famously tripped up the stairs at the 2013 Oscars while walking to the stage to accept her award. She then fell again at the awards show the following year, making us think she should just skip the heels altogether.

The always gorgeous Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel hit the red-carpet last night – and it dawned on us that that in itself is a rather rare occurance.

In fact, it’s been close-to TWO years since the duo flashed a smile in tandem for the waiting photographers. Yes, incredibly their last joint appearance was at the GQ Men Of The Year dinner back in November 2013.

Still, they’ve certainly had their hands full: Justin and Jessica welcomed their first child, a son whom they named Silas, in April.

Attending the Night Of Stars Gala in New York, Mr Timberlake, 34, was last night being honoured for his successful clothing line, William Rast, which he founded in 2005. 

JT opted for a classic tux teamed with a white-and-black shirt, while 33-year-old Ms Biel chose a teal Dolce & Gabbana dress with cut-out detail.

Most eye-catching of all, however, was the married couple’s body language: they’re evidently more smitten than ever and most certainly had that look of love about them. Indeed, less than a week ago – on Monday – they celebrated their third wedding anniversary.

And being inducted into the Memphis Music Hall Of Fame recently, Justin gushed about his wife to the crowd.

In an emotional acceptance speech, he described her as “beautiful, loving, and incredibly understanding of her husband’s shortcomings.”

He continued, “She is a rock and she is tough as nails. Baby, I love you more than I could put into words and more than any song I could ever write.”

It was all black and white on the night: yes, on the Iftas red-carpet yesterday the stylish stars stuck to what they know best – and that means duplicating many of the looks that also dominated back in May.

For the first time this year, the glitzy ceremony was split into two high-profile nights: the film and drama awards, which took place in May, and last night's bash – which honoured achievements in the television industry.

But while the two events means two excuses to dress up for a host of high-profile celebs, most stuck to what they know best: and that evidently means LOTS of black and white. 

Yes, keeping things cool and classic, an array of Ifta attendees then and now opted for monochrome hues, with bright colour very much being the exception rather than the rule on both evenings.

Amanda Byram, Ronan and Storm Keating, Imelda May, Rachel Wyse, Vogue Williams, Rosanna Davison, Colette Fitzpatrick and Lucy Kennedy: they ALL shunned colour.

Here, SHEmazing! takes a look at the best red-carpet black-and-white style from the 2015 Iftas…

Sometimes, you don’t mind forking out for a great upstyle professionally done in your local salon.

On other occasions, however, you don’t necessarily have the time or money to do anything other than give it a bash yourself.

Thankfully, A LOAD of amazing YouTube tutorials for killer hair-looks are available; red-carpet delights that can be adapted for Debs, wedding or college ball.

So what’s the issue? Well, for one deciding on what will work and what definitely won’t is something of a serious pickle. Indeed, with so much choice and so, so many online tutorials, it’s difficult to even know where to start.

And even if you do want to leave things in the hands of professionals (probably advisable for a REALLY big event) you need to be able to relay to them clearly what you want to achieve.

Thankfully, the experts at Toni&Guy in Dundrum Town Centre – which recently marked its 10th anniversary – have a load of top tips for us… which means you can get red-carpet ready in no time. Hurrah

 

1) The most important thing to consider when deciding on a hairstyle for the big night is whether or not you will feel comfortable. 

If you never wear your hair up chances are an upstyle will leave you feeling exposed and uncomfortable. Equally if you never wear it down you might spend the whole night fidgeting with it.

 

2) The neckline and style of your dress is really important when deciding on a style. With a high neckline hair is usually better drawn back and over the shoulder, or worn up. 

A sweetheart neckline can look fabulous with hair down or up, but bear in mind if you wear an upstyle you may want to think about a neck piece or earrings as it will be a more exposed look.

 

3) It is always best to work with and enhance the look of your own natural hair. Hair pieces can of course be used but remember that if you want the hair to be curled the piece must be made of real hair.

Take inspiration from celebs with a similar hair length and style as your own; it will give a better indication of what will suit you and what's achievable.

 

4) Also remember that you want to balance out your overall look nicely. That means if your dress has a lot of detail, a simple hair style may complement it best.

Equally if you are wearing a strong or dramatic make-up look, you may want to consider a softer style for your hair.

 

5) This year less is definitely more: relaxed and paired-back looks are taking centre stage with soft tumbling curls and sleek ponytails taking centre stage. That's not to say that iconic glamour – which will always have its moment – is totally out.

In fact, Forties-inspired waves and beautiful chignons are still a seriously popular choice for anyone with a big event to attend.

 

6) Finally, if you're having an upstyle, it is best to wash your hair the night before. Shampoo and condition (conditioner only ever through mid-lengths and ends) and simply blast dry or let your hair dry naturally. Don’t put any product in to your hair before or after you dry it. 

This means that your hair won’t be super silky and will hold the style more easily. And the same prep also applies if you're wearing your hair down and you want your curls to really hold all night.

 

As well as on-trend hair and styling services, Toni&Guy Dundrum boasts lots of lovely added extras such as head massages and giant reclining chairs at its basins. Refreshments on offer include – hurrah! – herbal teas, red and white wine, and cold beers so you can REALLY relax.

She's now admitted that while expecting North, her fashion choices were a little off. 

In fact, Kim Kardashian says that looking back at those 2013 snaps, she is nothing short of "mortified". 

Last month, she declared: "Everyone used to say Kourtney had the best pregnancy style, so I would borrow a dress she wore when she was pregnant, and OMG it did not look the same!"

Suffice to say, however, that this time round she's nailed it – wowing her fans and observers with an array of killer maternity looks. 

Now, as we say a very big HAPPY 35th BIRTHDAY to the one and only Kim Kardashian West, we take a look at the 10 times when she absolutely nailed it in the pregnancy style stakes.

 

1) One of her earlier looks, Kim killed it in this skin-tight, plunging latex piece by Atsuko Kudo back in June:

 

2) Swoon! Posing up with Kanye last month in advance of a New York society wedding – clad in a €4,000 Valentino gown:

 

3) So daring… But she certainly pulls it all off. Lace and black and all sorts of see-through as envisioned by Givenchy. We love it:

 

4) She hadn't announced her pregnancy when the Met Gala took place – but she was already two months along. And we reckon she's never looked better:

 

5) In Proenza Schouler for the CFDA Fashion Awards. We're pretty sure only Ms Kardashian could make this work:

 

6) She doesn't just do black: Kim kept it casual (sorta) in this skin-tight beige attire – completing the look with a Lanvin coat:

 

7) At the DASH store in West Hollywood in June – this fringed number from Magda Butrym and the denim jacket are to die for:

 

8) The 2015 MTV Video Music Awards was evidently a seriously stylish affair, with Mrs West embracing the glamour of the evening in Balmain:

 

9) Ravishing in white, Kim was pictured in Hollywood in July wearing this stunning dress from Wolford: 

 

10) Kim Kardashian arrived at the Cosmopolitan 50th birthday earlier this month – completing her look with a €2,250 Balmain necklace:
