Saoirse Ronan's stunning Met Gala dress turned heads on the red carpet

Saoirse Ronan was red hot as she wowed the Met Gala in a Gucci gown last night.

The Carlow native turned heads with her stunning sequined red and green dress which had dramatic gold dragons sprouting out of the shoulders.

The 25-year-old was out to impress at the sartorial event of the year, with this year's theme being Camp: Notes on Fashion.

The Mary Queen of Scots star opted for gold jewellery, neutral makeup and a simple hairstyle to complete her look.

Fans gushed over her Game of Thrones inspired ensemble, with many sharing their opinions on social media.

Sharing a photo on Twitter, one wrote: "Ireland is now a monarchy and here is its queen."

While another pointed out that Saoirse was paying homage to Carlow with her colour choices of green, red and yellow, saying: "Pure Carlow colours, fair play to her."

A third said: "Saoirse Ronan is an actual goddess. That's it."

And Saoirse seemed to be having the time of her life, posing for photos with fellow stars Dakota Johnson and Harry Styles and hanging out with singer pal Florence Welch.

Meanwhile, another well-known Irish woman was also rocking up in style to the celebrity bash.

Disability rights activist and writer Sinead Burke took to the red carpet in a velvet gown with blue bows across the front and a stunning delicate gold headpiece.

Sharing a photo to her Instagram account ahead of the big night, she wrote: "Wish me luck."
