Saoirse Ronan is wearing a grown-up version of her first Oscar dress

Actors on Actors: Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan – Full Video

Saoirse Ronan broke out when she was just 13 years-old inAtonement,and went from zero to sixty in no time at all. In fact, her first award show was the Oscars in 2008, where she was nominated for best supporting actress."When Iwas here before that was my very first awards show, which is incredible for it to be your first awards show, she said on the red carpet for THIS year"s Oscars(where she"snominated for best actress forBrooklyn, thank you very much).

And not only is she back,she is repeating her original Oscar look, but it isverygrown up. See the then/now:

QUITE a transformation.(Photo: Dan MacMedan, USA TODAY)

Don"t worry, it"s all totally intentional. Her emerald green Calvin Klein Collection look is a mirror of her first look and meant to represent her home country of Ireland (which plays a big role inBrooklyn, so it brings the whole thing full circle).

Good luck tonight, Saoirse. You already won our hearts.
