Since bursting on the scene in ABC Family’s “The Secret Life of the American Teenager,” Shailene Woodley’s star has been on the rise. From her turn as George Clooney’s daughter in “The Descendants” to a cancer-stricken teen in “The Fault in Our Stars,” there’s no stopping the 23-year-old powerhouse.
With the second film in the “Divergent” series, “Insurgent,” set to hit theaters Friday, Woodley has been on a whirlwind press tour promoting the action-packed flick. And with every red carpet she steps foot on, the brunette beauty rocks it every single time.
Whether she’s sporting a printed Mary Katrantzou sheath or an embellished Marchesa gown, Woodley always leaves us wanting more. Take a look at the actress’ 12 best red-carpet moments — so far.
Lacy lady
Woodley may be a fresh face on the style scene, but she isn’t afraid to take a risk or two. Case in point: the 2012 Directors Guild of America Awards. Instead of sporting the obvious nude or matching-hue mini underneath her red, lace Valentino gown, the screen stunner opts for the unexpected jet black.
Marvelous in Marchesa
Hello, gorgeous! Golden Globe nominee Woodley turns plenty of heads in this embroidered Marchesa number at the awards ceremony in 2012. “The Descendants” star keeps the accessories (and makeup) to the minimum, in order to keep the focus on the intricate details at the center of the sheath.
Minimalist perfection
Although we’ve seen Woodley rocking plenty of prints in recent years, the former teen queen proves with this Calvin Klein design at the 2012 Critics’ Choice Movie Awards that she can rock just about anything. Bummer that she missed out on the two awards she was nominated for (both for “The Descendants”).
Ab-tastic
To play the ass-kicking Tris in “Divergent,” Woodley has to be in tip-top shape. The star flaunts her fit physique in an Emilio Pucci crop top and patterned skirt at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards in Brooklyn.
Sexy in Elie Saab
Margot Robbie isn’t the only style star who can rock a jumpsuit. Woodley pairs her bold Elie Saab one-piece with metallic Rupert Sanderson pumps and a bright pout at a New York screening of “Divergent” in March 2014.
Wowing in white
White can be tricky to pull off, unless your name happens to be Shailene Woodley. The actress sports a striking Zuhair Murad gown with gold detailing and a plunging neckline at the German premiere of “Divergent” in April 2014.
Balmain beauty
Army green may be Kendall Jenner’s signature shade when it comes to Balmain, but the color looks equally fabulous on Woodley. “The Spectacular Now” starlet rocks the edgy design by Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards, where she nabs the golden popcorn for “Favorite Character,” as Tris in “Divergent.”
Splash of color
How do you cap off an already elegant ensemble? By adding a pop of pink, of course. Woodley pairs her embroidered Valentino mini with bold Kurt Geiger d’Orsay pumps during an appearance on the “Late Show With David Letterman” in May 2014.
Sunny side up
If you’re wondering which shade looks the hottest on a sky-blue carpet, it’s yellow. “The Fault in Our Stars” darling brightens up a June 2014 screening of the film in a strapless Ralph Lauren number.
Star light, star bright
Valentino and Woodley are a match made in fashion heaven. The actress is seeing plenty of stars — literally — in this demure design at the Hollywood Film Awards in November, when she nabbed the award for best breakout performance for her turn in “The Fault in Our Stars.”
Hint of skin
Woodley reveals bits of her toned tummy in this paisley-print top and teal skirt by Mary Katrantzou following a visit to the “Late Show With David Letterman” in March. To cap off the sophisticated ensemble, the “Insurgent” star adds a pair of sleek ankle-strap pumps.
Black isn’t so basic anymore
The dark shade may seem boring to some, but done right, it packs a real punch. Woodley makes a lasting impression at the New York premiere of “Insurgent” Monday in this ultra-sexy Ralph Lauren dress. Boys, eat your hearts out.
