Sandra Bullock’s Style Evolution, From America’s Sweetheart to Oscar Winner


Sandra Bullock made her film debut 30 years ago, with a minor role in the 1987 thriller Hangmen. In the following decades, she’s gone on to win an Academy Awards, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and a Golden Globe, among many other awards. Such accolades have made the actress a staple on the awards circuit red carpet, where she mixes it up from year to year. To take home her Best Actress trophy in 2010, Bullock stunned in a shimmering champagne-hued Marchesa gown; four years later, nominated once again, this time for her role in Gravity, she opted for a much more subtle number, a strapless navy mermaid gown by Alexander McQueen. The actress is also not afraid to take on a bold color, as evidenced by her 2010 violet Bottega Venetta gown that she wore to the 2010 Golden Globes, and a color-blocked number by Prabal Gurung at the 2014 ceremony. Here, a look at the Oscar winner’s looks over the years.
