Saoirse Ronan cosies up to dapper husband Jack Lowden at the British Independent Film Awards as she stuns in a shimmering navy gown

Saoirse Ronan cosied up to husband Jack Lowden on Sunday night as they attended the  27th British Independent Film Awards in London.

The pair, who tied the knot earlier this year, in good spirits as they posed on the red carpet, before Jack subsequently clutched his wife's arm later in the evening. 

Saoirse looked stunning on the night, wowing in a shimmering navy gown which featured high neck and a sheer cape that trailed behind her.

The Irish beauty, 30, teamed the elegant gown with a pair of black heels, kept her make-up to a minimum and pulled her hair back into a sleek updo. 

Meanwhile, Scottish actor Jack, 34, cut a sharp figure in an all black ensemble, accessorised with a diamond and pearl brooch on his lapel. 

The couple were in good company as they mingled alongside the likes of Alicia Vikander and Ellie Bamber on the star-studded carpet. 

Saoirse and Jack started dating in 2018 and got married in 2024 in a wedding ceremony in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Saoirse and Jack met while filming Mary Queen of Scots and secretly married in July this year after six years together. 

Saoirse has remained fiercely private about their relationship and does not have a social media presence, but gave a small insight during a new interview. 

Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last month, the star joked that her husband keeps disappointing her by refusing to perform a 'cheesy karaoke duet' of her choice. 

Saoirse said: 'I've been desperate for myself and my husband Jack to do a cheesy karaoke duet. 

'It's Shallow from A Star is Born. I want him to be my Bradley, and I'll be his Gaga. And he won't do it. He hasn't committed.

'And I'm sort of like, well, what's marriage for? You know what I mean? What are we doing here?' 

It comes after the actress recently joked about her 'baby' with Jack in rare discussion about their relationship. 

Speaking on the Ryan Tubridy Show on Virgin Radio UK on Wednesday, she said it's very much 'here we go again'.

'We've been together a long time, and we've had a really busy year with work,' Saoirse explained.

She continued: 'We have the Outrun out as well, which is a movie that we produced together and that's kind of our baby right now. 

'So we're putting a lot of time and our energy into that and we're incredibly proud and excited about the reception that that's gotten. 

'That's still in the cinemas now as well for anyone who wants to go and see it. Again, I would really urge anyone to take the time out to go and see it in the cinema. 

'And yeah, we're doing great - he’s doing the washing right now.'

She recently told British Vogue: 'I became successful when I was quite young. So it meant that, actually, by the time I found my partner, I’m now at the stage where, if it happened, I would like to have a kid. 

'I feel fortunate enough that, if I step out of this for a minute, I’m hopefully not giving it up forever. But, yeah, I’ve always wanted that.'

Saoirse played the titular role while Jack played Lord Darnley, the Queen's second husband, known for his salacious sexual nature. Their on-screen romance foreshadowed what was to come, and they started dating in December 2018.
