Saoirse Ronan in Calvin Klein

ONE DAY this sheer nightmare will end. I have faith. I have hope!

"I would have liked to have seen that on Elaine Stritch," is a thought I just had. It is, I swear, a very specific kind of compliment.

I kind of like this, although I'm not sure it's TOTALLY successful. I appreciate her occasional wacky side, though.

Cute! (Other than the shoes, which are not my bag. To mix accessory metaphors.)

I GET it, I like the CONCEPT, I wish they were actual sailor pants instead. (I love sailor pants. I long for a new pair. I wore my other pair out.)

She loves these shoes -- they are cute -- and this isn't bad, but it feels maybe a LITTLE unfinished? She never carries a bag, which I think is part of it.

Let's end this on a crazy note. This is BONKERS, like a deflated hot air balloon at an old time county fair and the fact that she wore it to an event hosted by the Academy...has me VERY EXCITED FOR AWARDS SEASON.

2015: The Year in Saoirse Ronan

Sometimes it's fun to look at what someone wore all year and try to predict what we'll see from her come Awards Season, and we'll certainly be seeing plenty of this one in the next few months. (I haven't seen Brooklyn yet, but it's so far up my street that I might actually be living on it.) The verdict is: hit or miss. [Photos: Fame/Flynet, Getty]
