Saoirse Ronan was the star of this red carpet - and she got to rub elbows with actor Alexander Skarsgard too.

The 21-year-old actress was simply elegant as she arrived to speak at An Evening With Saoirse Ronan at the screening of her newest movie Brooklyn during Savannah Film Festival on Sunday.

Saoirse wore a loosely fitting black jumpsuit with quarter-length sleeves and tapering trousers that she brightened with a pair of whimsical red and turquoise earrings.
