Yara Shahidi has grown from the cute-as-a-button girl in commercials to the beautifully grown woman we see on our TV screens today. The actress, advocate, and philanthropist uses her platform in a way that shows her growth as an innovative soldier in today’s society. We’ve seen her use her voice to advocate against racial injustice, and she’s also played an active role in encouraging her peers to exercise their rights to vote. Her talent, brilliance, and tenacity earned her a letter of recommendation from none other than Michelle Obama. Yara has proven herself to be Generation Z’s driving force.
When she’s not trying to change the world through acting and advocacy, she’s slaying our lives on the red carpet. Her curls are always perfectly styled, her face is beat to the gawds, and her wardrobe is to die for. Working closely with her stylist, Jason Bolden, she loves to play with garment shapes and sizes, and she’s never shied away from couture looks.
From the SAG Awards to Milan Fashion Week, and the streets of NYC, we’ve counted down 14 of her most fashionable looks:
