Rachel Sennott may have first captured the Internet’s attention in the most contemporary way possible—a viral video—but her red carpet sensibility tells a different story. While, yes, the I Love LA actor loves a sheer look, the majority of her wardrobe is fit for a modern Hollywood muse. From the Met Gala to the Cannes Film Festival, Sennott takes to the red carpet in classic, starlet-loved silhouettes with a touch of something different. She’ll wear a strapless maxi dress and amp it up with bold fuchsia sequins or Balenciaga’s pantaboots. Or, she’ll take something as innocent as a sweater dress and do it with a plunging neckline and a risqué leg slit. And while the actor is best known for her comedic roles in projects like Bottoms, Bodies Bodies Bodies, and Shiva Baby, her style is no laughing matter.

Here, take in the best of Rachel Sennott’s red carpet fashion.
