Maisie Williams has taken on roles in Game of Thrones, the ’70s-based series Pistol, and the fashion drama The New Look—meaning that her on-screen versatility is perhaps only eclipsed by that of her shapeshifting style. Throughout her relatively short career, Williams has underwent quite the evolution on the red carpet, indulging in everything from perfectly British tea-length dresses to edgy, avant-garde pieces. She’s also never been afraid to switch up her entire look, either—she’s known to experiment with bleached eyebrows, a buzzed pixie cut, and vintage Hollywood waves.

As Williams’s star power has risen, so too has the opulence of the brands with which she’s worked. Following her breakthrough appearance in Game of Thrones, it wasn’t long before the actress cozied up to labels like Maison Margiela, Dior, Givenchy, and Simone Rocha. Williams has also shown herself to be a proponet of vintage fashion, having slipped into archival Alexander McQueen and Comme des Garçons looks on the step and repeat. Below, a look back at Maisie Williams’s best red carpet fashion.
