Now, her work has once again hit the global stage after the Irish actor, Cillian Murphy, scooped 'Best Actor' in his leading role for Oppenheimer at the Oscars on March 10.

Not only did Cilian make Oscars' history, being the first Irish-born actor to bag the award, but he did it in style as Forde picked out a Versace look for his suit and a Sauvereign brooch.

Reacting to the news on social media, Ms Forde described Cillian as a "true gent, inspiration and icon".

She wrote: "Cillian, you truly manage to combine dedication and hard work with humour and kindness, one in a million, hats off to you.

"What a ride with the most fabulous team."

The Oscar win comes as Cillian has won several major awards this year while styled by Forde, including a Screen Actors Guild Award, a Golden Globe and a Bafta.

Ms Forde has been approached for comment.
