Saoirse Ronan named Louis Vuitton ambassador

Saoirse Ronan is the newest ambassador for Louis Vuitton.

The iconic fashion house has been linked with the 'See How They Run' actress a number of times in recent months, having been a guest of Nicolas Ghesquière - the brand's artistic director of women’s collections - at the Academy Museum Gala in December, while two months earlier she was on the front row for its spring 2024 show.

Nicolas said: "I have admired Saoirse’s career for many years now; I find her totally captivating in the roles she plays.

“What’s more, behind her talent lies such a charming and bright person.”

The 29-year-old star's credits range from the likes of 'Little Women' and 'Lady Bird' to 'Brooklyn' and 'Atonement', all of which earned her an Academy Award nomination.

Proud of her Irish roots, Saoirse previously revealed how she escapes to the country from time to time where she engages in skinny dipping surrounded by other women.

She toldHarper's Bazaar magazine: "When we got out, we talked and talked, butt-naked. It was so beautiful.

"It was a full moon that night and there was this strong female energy around us all day. And that’s quite magical, because... women can practically kill each other. We can be the worst.

"But when you’ve got other women in your corner, they will defend you like nothing else. If you have that – which I’ve always had from my mother – you carry it with you your whole life.

"There’s been a lot to overcome for all women, but I think in a country like Ireland, where there was such ownership over us in every sense – physically, emotionally, spiritually, financially – how unbelievably brave. What incredible stock to come from. I don’t take that for granted at all."
