A Visual History of Julianne Moore’s Always Glamorous Red Carpet Style
Julianne Moore is a true chameleon. Both on and off the screen. Moore’s career has seen her take on mind-bending, emotional roles in projects like Boogie Nights, The Big Lebowski, The End of the Affair, Far from Heaven, May December and, most recently, the twisted Mary Villiers in Mary & George. It’s only fitting then that the actress’ red carpet style over the years has been just as, if not more, varied than her acting roles.
During the biggest awards shows, premieres, and galas, Moore has pulled off everything from ’90s minimalism to over-the-top gala gowns with ease. Of course, the actress has been dressed by a who’s who of luxury fashion since her breakthrough in the 1990s. She’s worn sculptural Schiaparelli, flashy Celine, chic Saint Laurent—and just about every brand in between—and even formed a special relationship with the late Chanel designer, Karl Lagerfeld. Below, a look back at Julianne Moore’s top red carpet moments over the years.
