Fresh from her triumph at the Golden Globes, Irish actress Jessie Buckley cut an effortlessly stylish figure as she arrived for an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live in Los Angeles on Thursday.
A Vision in Black and White
The 36-year-old star, who just days ago won the Best Actress award for her role in 'Hamnet', showcased her signature cool elegance. She opted for a sophisticated ensemble featuring a black asymmetrical maxi skirt paired with a crisp white oversized shirt.
Buckley completed the look with minimalist jewellery, black and cream heels, and a pair of square-frame sunglasses, all accentuated by her chic pixie haircut. Her appearance on the popular late-night talk show followed a whirlwind week celebrating the success of the critically acclaimed film, which also secured the Golden Globe for Best Film.
A Moving Golden Globes Speech
Accepting her award last week, Buckley gave a heartfelt speech that paid tribute to the international ensemble behind 'Hamnet'. The film is a fictional retelling of the life of William Shakespeare, played by Paul Mescal, and his wife Agnes, portrayed by Buckley, focusing on the death of their son.
"This is not a normal feeling or situation to be in, but thank you Golden Globes," she began from the podium. She went on to thank the cast and crew, including her co-star Mescal, and highlighted the unique collaborative spirit of the production: "We had a Chinese director, a lot of Irish, a mostly Polish crew, beside our British family."
Mutual Admiration with Co-Star Paul Mescal
The bond between the two lead actors was a focal point of the awards season. Buckley previously sparked affectionate headlines by stating she could "drink Paul like water," a comment she later clarified was about his essential, life-giving presence as a scene partner. "He brings you to the core of your humanity," she explained.
Mescal returned the profound praise in kind. Responding to Buckley's accolades, he predicted her performance would be studied for years to come. "They're gonna be studying what she did in Hamnet in drama school," he said. "It's one of the greatest performances we're going to be seeing for years."
The film's success and Buckley's acclaimed performance have cemented 'Hamnet' as a major awards contender, with its exploration of grief and artistry resonating deeply with audiences and critics alike. Buckley's poised appearance in Los Angeles marks the next step in celebrating this significant cinematic achievement.
