The vivid blue of the eyes, the Céline green coat that only intensifies their striking colour, her restrained poise and elegance as if hailing from a different time, I think you can understand why my plans for a different subject for today went out the window when I saw this visual story for T Magazine. Saoirse Ronan already has an Oscar nomination (for Atonement, she was only 13) and she stars in Wes Anderson’s new film, The Grand Budapest Hotel, which I am anxious to see. Her co-star in the latter movie, Ralph Fiennes, says she’s completely natural. Natural is the word that comes to my mind when I look at these photos, too. It’s that ethereal and innocent naturalness that we find in Paolo Roversi’s portraits, but I think it has as much to do with Saoirse’s innate quality as it does with the photographer’s talent.

Oh, gosh, she’s grown! I didn’t know about her latest movie, so thank you for letting me know – the cast sounds wonderful! And I adore the photos, just flawless… x
Just stunning!
i remember when i saw atonement i was certain she would grow to be a wonderful actress, she was wonderful in that movie and so young – but i had a feeling there would be much more to see of her. so i am really happy her career has taken off and with such fabulous roles. something about her just immediately draws you in and she has just a wonderful natural beauty about her. these photos are stunning.
She was so captivating in Atonement – and The Lovely Bones. Can’t wait to see her (and the always amazing Ralph Fiennes) in the Grand Budapest Hotel.
I saw these photos of her in T Mag last weekend and was thinking how lucky she was to be photographed by Paolo Roversi! I’m really looking forward to the movie!

It’s a beautiful editorial; that first image is quite stunning simply because of the green shade of that fabulous coat!:)
