Twinning is winning for Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley, as the pair stepped out in matching ensembles for the premiere of Hamnet<\/a> in the Lighthouse Cinema.<\/p>\n

The Maynooth man and Kerry woman star opposite one another in Chlo\u00e9 Zhao’s take on Maggie O’Farrell’s namesake novel, in which they portray William Shakespeare and his wife, Agnes.<\/p>\n

What better way to mark the New Year release of their project than jetting home to the motherland to celebrate with their nearest and dearest, as well as a few lucky Irish fans who caught a glimpse of them?<\/p>\n

Jessie and Paul were all smiles as they hit the red carpet together and posed up a storm as cameras flashed in front of them.<\/p>\n

Kerry’s own Jessie looked incredible in a striking black gown, a sculptural number that boasted a square neckline neatly framing her d\u00e9colletage.<\/p>\n

The bodice was clean and fitted, flowing into a long column-like maxi skirt. The drama of the gown’s structured puff sleeves accentuated this refined look.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Paul opted for a more relaxed take on sharp tailoring. He wore a black suit jacket worn open over a black shirt.<\/p>\n

His straight-legged suit trousers gave the outfit a polished silhouette, and he completed his look with some sleek black shoes.<\/p>\n

Though Paul and Jessie were in town, it’s our opinion that the red carpet was rolled out for a very special lady: Paul’s glam mammy, Dearbhla Mescal.<\/p>\n

Dearbhla, who has poured her heart and soul into her upcoming book<\/a>, looked beautiful in a deep navy belted g\u00fana with a soft V-neckline and long sleeves.<\/p>\n

On her arm was Paul’s rarely-seen grandmother, who made a special trip to the Lighthouse Cinema with the Mescals in support of her grandson.<\/p>\n

‘Well, we went all out, and granny came too!,’ Dearbhla told her followers on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Hamnet<\/a>, based on Maggie O\u2019Farrell\u2019s book, is directed by Chlo\u00e9 Zhao and is about Agnes and William Shakespeare\u2019s love story before and after the death of their son, Hamnet.<\/p>\n

Jessie, who is a longtime friend of Paul’s and previously worked with him on the Lost Daughter, previously praised her co-star, saying: ‘He has this greatness about him in an old-school way, like Richard Burton had. He\u2019s got a weight that is bigger than his years, and you can really lean on it.’<\/p>\n
