On the screen, Julia Garner is a chameleon. Whether it’s as the notorious scammer Anna Delvey, the opportunist Ruth Langmore in Ozark, or as Madonna (we hope) in the musician’s long-rumored biopic, she’s always transforming. That versatility has channeled off-screen and on to the red carpet, where the actor has become a staple of awards shows, Met Galas, and worldwide premieres.

With an inclination toward classic silhouettes and a clear knowledge of color, Garner is always one to watch on the step-and-repeat. The actor has a strong loyalty to Gucci (she became an ambassador for the brand during Alessandro Michele’s era), wearing their blinged-out dresses and bold colors and patterns with aplomb. Also on rotation for Garner are top labels like Ferragamo, Miu Miu, and Thom Browne. And with the actor’s signature platinum blonde hair and love of a bold red lip, her red-carpet moments never skimp out in the beauty arena, either.

Here, look through the best of Julia Garner’s red-carpet fashion from 2013 until now.
