Is there anything Jodie Turner-Smith can’t do? She models, acts, and she can wear a look like nobody’s business. The model-turned-actress has been around Hollywood for over a decade at this point, but over the past few years, she has come into herself more with the help of some well-deserved starring roles. Now she has a wardrobe to match that recognition. A Gucci ambassador, Turner-Smith often wears the brand when hitting a red carpet. Creative Director Alessandro Michele has un turn mastered dressing her, often opting for bright colors that pop off her skin beautifully. Lately, though, Turner-Smith, has been mixing things up a bit by throwing labels like Christopher John Rogers and Balmain into the mix. With the help of her stylists, Wayman Deon and Micah McDonald, Turner-Smith completely took over the Venice Film Festival red carpet this year, showing look after look that blew pretty much every other attendee out of the water. But Turner-Smith has been on her dressing game for awhile now, so let’s take a look back at some of her best looks over the years.
