In a relatively short time, the actress Taylor Russell has staked her claim as one of Hollywood’s best-dressed stars. Russell, who starred in 2018’s Lost In Space and rose to stardom playing a cannibal opposite Timothée Chalamet in Bones and All, has re-written the rules of red carpet fashion almost every single time she hits a step and repeat.

Russell’s fashion star really began to rise during her Bones and All press tour in 2022. She wore everything from couture Balenciaga and backless Alexander McQueen to coquette Loewe and gilded Schiaparelli while promoting the Luca Guadagnino film. Her looks would have been a triumph for any actress, let alone a relative red carpet newcomer.

Since, Russell has gone on to establish an exciting brand of red carpet fashion that bridges experimental, often off-the-runway style, with her own personal fashion sense. She signed on as a Loewe brand ambassador in 2022 and has worn the Spanish brand on the red carpet almost exclusively since (sans a few moments in Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s The Row). In honor of the actress’s unmatched style, relive Taylor Russell’s best red carpet moments, below.
