The Golden Globe winner looked pretty incredible…

Saoirse Ronan is having a very good 2018 so far. She’s already won a Golden Globe for her role in Greta Gerwig’s Ladybird, she seems a sure thing for an Oscar nomination, and she’s been absolutely killing it on the red carpet.

We’re so pleased, then, that she chose to wear a designer from this part of the world on a recent United States television appearance.

The 23-year-old Irishwoman, who we hope you caught in the 2015 film Brooklyn, wore a two-piece set from SemSem for her spot on The Ellen Show.

Abeer Al Otaiba is the brand’s founder and designer, and she’s married to the UAE’s ambassador to the USA. Originally from Egypt, she started her label in 2014 and quickly won fans like Blake Lively and Gigi Hadid.

Now, we can count Ronan among that number. Here’s a closer look at her outfit:

So good. That black and yellow combo wouldn’t be the easiest to pull off, but Ronan looks great. Here’s the look on a model:

How good are those flares? Of course, those of us who are a little less directional in our dressing could always pair either the top or pants with a solid black or white separate. The whole getup is great, though.

On the show, Ronan chatted with host Ellen DeGeneres about her distaste for dating apps and which Hollywood men she wouldn’t mind going out for dinner with. It was pretty endearing, considering Ronan says she’s never been on a date in her life.

Check it out:

She’s got a point, too. Shouldn’t we all really be trying to date people who are just good company?

The Oscars are coming up on March 4, and we’re hoping to see Ronan choose another Middle East designer for that occasion.

(By the way – her first name rhymes with ‘inertia.’ Now you know!)
