- By Jacqueline Lindenberg

PIERCE Brosnan dressed to impress alongside his wife Keely Shaye Smith as they attended the US-Ireland Alliance’s 2024 Oscar Wilde Awards in Santa Monica this week.

The former James Bond actor, 70, who recently enjoyed a romantic date night with his wife of 23 years in Malibu, joined other celebritie­s at Bad Robot, a production company run by both JJ Abrams and Katie McGrath.

The Navan actor was one of the honourees at the event, along with Saturday Night Live alumni Molly Shannon and Richard Baneham.

Brosnan opted for an all-black ensemble for the special night.

‘Irish legend who paved the way’

pants as well as a black button-up that was partially unfastened around the collar. He layered the monochroma­tic outfit with a black, suede blazer and slipped into a pair of sleek dress shoes that were secured with laces.

For a finishing touch, Brosnan additional­ly wore a black, satin cravat that was loosely wrapped around his neck at Thursday’s event in California.

US-Ireland Alliance founder Trina Vargo said of Brosnan in a statement, posted on the official website: ‘The success of Irish actors in the film industry in recent years has highlighte­d the remarkable talent in Ireland. We’re thrilled to be honouring one of the most talented Irish legends, who paved the way.’

Brosnan was joined by his wife Keely – with whom he tied the knot in 2001 – and she also opted for an all-black ensemble for the bash.

The journalist, 60, wore a pair of black trousers as well as a satin blouse that contained ruffled details on the front. She added a black blazer on top which was left unbuttoned and also slipped into a pair of black, ballet flats. Her brunette locks were parted in the middle, and effortless­ly flowed down past her shoulders. Keely accessoris­ed her look with a pair of silver, dangly earrings as well as a chunky ring on her right hand. The couple – who share sons Dylan, 27, and Paris, 23 – posed for photos upon arriving to the festivitie­s and later crossed paths with fellow honouree Molly Shannon.

The Irish-American actress, 59, put on a leggy display wearing a dark navy minidress that contained sequin details on the fabric that sparkled under the bright lights.

Irish-American model Fionnghual­a O’Reilly, 30, and Dublin singer Samantha Mumba, 41, were also in attendance, as was Oscar nominee Cillian Murphy, 47, sporting a white shirt tucked into black trousers. He added a black blazer on top and slipped into a pair of sleek, dark brown shoes to complete his look.
