Dove Cameron, From Her Disney Days to Punkier Present

Your perspective on Dove Cameron probably depends on your age. The Gen Z-ers among us likely remember the actress from her Disney days, her TV show Liv and Maddie, and her run as the daughter of Maleficent in the trio of Descendants movies. Older audiences, however, may be more familiar with Cameron’s post-Disney career—her hit single, “Boyfriend,” her relationship with Måneskin frontman Damiano David, and her edgy style.

When Cameron first got on the screen, she stayed true to the girly, whimsical style we usually associate with child stars, but since then, a more gothic Cameron has emerged. Yes, there was the dying of her signature blonde locks, but also an embrace of leather, a dark eye, and a whole lot of platform heels. These days, one can expect the multi-hyphenate to step out in Marc Jacobs right off the runway, Richard Quinn, or Rabanne. But even though Cameron has moved on from her princess-adjacent days, she isn’t afraid to reference the past, and still brings out a floral number or ball gown every once in a while. That just means we have to expect the unexpected when it comes to Cameron. So, as we wait for her next red carpet moment, let’s take a look back at a decade of transformation as Cameron discovered her own personal style in real time.
