Sandra Hüller notched two of 2024’s standout performances in director Justine Triet’s courtroom drama Anatomy of a Fall and Jonathan Glazer’s Holocaust epic The Zone of Interest. In the former, the German actress plays a woman suspected of her killing her husband while in Zone she transforms as Hedwig Höss, the wife of Nazi commander Rudolf Höss. Both performances have brought her to the attention of American audiences, but the German actress has long been a red carpet regular on the European film circuit.

Throughout her over two-decades in the spotlight, with award-winning films like Requiem and Toni Erdmann, Hüller has developed a personal style that is as timeless as it is cutting-edge. The actress has taken a special liking to Louis Vuitton designer Nicolas Ghesquière’s futuristic pieces—from metal mesh gowns to sci-fi tailoring—but has also slipped into brands like Bottega Veneta, Rosie Assoulin, and Valentino. However, that doesn’t mean the actress is afraid to mix up the usual Hollywood gown in favor of sleek suit sets, tea-length couture stunners, and just about everything in between. Below, a look back at Sandra Hüller’s best red carpet style, from 2006’s Requiem to Anatomy of a Fall.
