Lili Reinhart’s Best Red Carpet Moments Elevate the Girl Next Door Look
In the beloved CW teen drama Riverdale, Lili Reinhart played the ultimate Girl Next Door in Betty Cooper. But off-screen and on the red carpet, the actor has given that archetype a modern, elevated twist through the years.
Since her breakout role in 2017, Reinhart’s style has been defined by soft romanticism—think flowing silhouettes, vintage-inspired floral prints, and delicate tailoring—done with a fresh perspective. The actor isn’t afraid to mix in a no-pants moment (usually via suiting) or incorporate a daring leg split into her red carpet repertoire. But even with her riskier moments, the actor’s love of a classic silhouette has never wavered.
