It was in 2014 when Rowan Blanchard broke out with her starring role on Girl Meets World. At the time, Blanchard was just 11 years old, and her wardrobe reflected that of a Disney Channel pre-teen coming into her own: plenty of princess dresses, sneakers, and frilled skirts.

Since then, Blanchard has become one of Hollywood’s most in-demand young actresses, as well as a respected activist. She’s also transformed into one of most exciting stars to watch on the red carpet, thanks to her genuine love of fashion and partnership with stylist Chris Horan. Over the past year, she’s donned everything from neon Calvin Klein to lacy Rodarte—and even walked the runway at Miu Miu’s resort show, going on to later star in the line’s ad campaign. Here, take a look back at Blanchard’s style evolution.
