Jessie Buckley stunned in a black dress at the Irish Film and Television Awards, where she was joined by Cillian Murphy and his wife.

Thirty-six-year-old actor Hamnet was among the Irish celebrities who attended the ceremony at the Dublin Royal Convention Centre on Friday.

Jessie has been nominated for Best Lead Actress for her role as Agnes Shakespeare in the film. She recently received both a Golden Globe and a Critics Choice Award for the same performance.

Jessie looked incredibly stylish and sophisticated as she arrived at the IFTA Awards in Dublin, wearing a chic black dress with an off-the-shoulder design.

She completed the outfit with sandal heels and swept her blonde hair back behind her ears, showcasing metallic drop earrings.

Cillian Murphy, up for the Lead Actor award for his performance in the Netflix movie Steve, was accompanied by his wife, Yvonne McGuinness, as they walked the red carpet.

Yvonne looked beautiful in a flowing pink satin gown, paired with sheer tights and unique knot-heeled shoes. She also carried a distinctive handbag shaped like scissors. Cillian, on the other hand, wore a classic black suit.

Bodhi Rae Breathnach, who starred as Jessie’s daughter in the movie Hament, was also present at the event.

Actress Lola Pettigrew, who is up for an award for her work in the Northern Irish series Trespasses, was also present at the ceremony.

She made a bold statement with a very sheer, nude-colored dress that revealed her breasts and the outline of her underwear.

The dress had a corset-like top with a distinctive belt, and was worn with tall, lace-up leather boots.

Alison Oliver, known for her role in Conversations with Friends, chose a delicate look with a white lace slip dress.

Ruth Bradley, known for her role in Primeval, looked stunning in a black satin gown with gold flowers sewn onto it.

Niamh Algar, up for the Lead Actress award for her role in The Iris Affair, stepped onto the red carpet in a sleek, black dress with cut-out details.

Anthony Boyle, known for his role in the Guinness commercials and recently mentioned as a possible future James Bond, was also at the event.

Jessie recently shared a sneak peek of her film, Hamnet, and is preparing for the BAFTAs this Sunday.

The actress has won every award she’s been nominated for this season, and is expected to win Best Actress at the upcoming film ceremony.

The movie, which tells the story of William Shakespeare’s son Hamnet and his untimely death, has been highly praised by critics since it came out last month.

The film has already won major awards at the Golden Globes and is expected to be a frontrunner at the upcoming BAFTAs and Oscars.

Jessie, age 36, has received special recognition for her portrayal of Agnes Shakespeare, the main character, and for beautifully depicting her emotional journey surrounding her son’s life and death.

The movie shows how a personal tragedy affects a family and unexpectedly influences the writing of Shakespeare’s famous play, Hamlet.

A new video released before the event features cast members, like Jessie, revealing fun stories and details from making the movie.

Jessie was deeply impressed by the rebuilt Globe Theatre, describing the experience as overwhelming and profoundly moving. She felt a strong connection to something fundamental about being human while inside it.

Paul Mescal, who acts alongside her as Shakespeare, explained that the set design—particularly the painted backdrop and overall stage appearance—felt remarkably genuine and special.

Director Chloé Zhao explained her approach to the theatre’s design, aiming to capture the spirit of Shakespeare’s famous line, ‘All the world’s a stage.’

Okay, so listen, I’ve been following this project forever, and she explained it so perfectly! From the very start, they wanted it to feel something, to be really visually striking. She said they intentionally made everything super direct and symmetrical, almost like you’re looking at a play set. It’s like the whole world is a stage, you know? Everything is designed to look that way, and it’s just… breathtaking. It’s not just a movie, it’s a whole experience, and that’s exactly what they were going for!
