Chase Infiniti’s ascent has been nothing short of meteoric. The actor made her film debut in Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, a remarkable first film credit by any measure, and promptly found herself in the thick of awards season conversation. The performance has already garnered Golden Globe and Critics Choice nominations, as well as a spot in W’s Best Performances issue, right alongside her co-stars and industry veterans Teyana Taylor, Benicio del Toro, and Sean Penn.

Offscreen, Infiniti’s rise has been just as striking. Working with styling duo Wayman and Micah, she’s distinguished herself as one of the 2026 awards season’s most compelling dressers. A friendship with Louis Vuitton’s Nicolas Ghesquière has meant that the actor is almost always outfitted in the French brand, whether that means a mirrored two-piece look at the Globes, or a draped, ab-baring dress for the Critics Choice. In between Louis Vuitton’s structured designs, Infiniti works fashion-favorite brands, like Altuzarra, Alaïa, and Christopher John Rogers, into her red carpet arsenal.

Below, take in Infiniti’s best looks so far.

While not apart of the awards season calendar, the Academy Museum Gala calls for the same amount of requisite glamour, and Infinti’s dress by Louis Vuitton looked more than ready for Oscars Sunday.
