Julianne Moore’s Best Red Carpet Moments

There are some celebrities who are true fashion chameleons. When it comes to these stars, you can never quite guess their next style move. Such is the case with Julianne Moore. The acclaimed actor has leaned into just about every sartorial aesthetic under the sun, from super refined (think a tuxedo dress) to playful and adventurous (like a lime-colored number). And with dozens of award nominations — and big wins! — throughout her career, Moore has become a red carpet veteran, providing fans with countless awe-inspiring and unexpected fashion moments along the way.

Like most stars, Moore’s style has evolved since first stepping into the spotlight. In the ‘90s and early aughts, the actor gravitated towards timeless red carpet looks (like her understated white gown at the 70th Annual Academy Awards in ‘98, for instance). But in the early ‘10s, Moore switched sartorial gears, opting for more opulent numbers — a prime example being her plumage-covered gown at the 67th Annual Cannes Film Festival in 2014. “Julianne loves feathers — she’s always been enamored by birds and feathers,” her former stylist, Leslie Fremar, told The Hollywood Reporter last year, referring to the specific outfit. Striking shades, like emerald green and neon yellow, have been in heavy rotation for Moore. (Both vibrant hues contrast nicely against her signature shiny dark red locks.)

Before the 2024 award show season is in full swing, take a look back at Moore’s best red carpet looks thus far. If Moore's latest A+ fashion moments are any indication, this list will only continue to grow.
