Since bursting onto the scene in the mid-1980s with breakthrough roles in David Lynch’s Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart, Laura Dern has continued to stake her claim as one of Hollywood’s most timeless red carpet dressers. The actress—who has earned wins at the Oscars, Emmys, and Golden Globe Awards (five times at the latter) throughout her decades-long career—is always one to bring her signature brand of glamorous fashion to the big stage, whether she’s in off-the-runway couture or casual separates.
Early in her career, Dern favored statement silhouettes like sequined party dresses and glitzy separates but has now shifted her sights to classic shapes, color blocking, and dramatic trains. She’s always been a proponent of Giorgio Armani (the Italian designer crafted, to this day, Dern’s favorite red carpet gown back in 1991) as well as labels like Fendi, Oscar de la Renta, Ralph Lauren, and Gabriela Hearst (and even occasionally joins in on her son’s Raf Simons obsession). Below, a look through Laura Dern’s most memorable red carpet moments over the years.
