Since her career exploded in 2011, Jessica Chastain has been a striking figure on the red carpet. From gold-embroidered Alexander McQueen at this year’s Oscars to sequined Gucci at Cannes, the young actress has chosen stunning looks from the get-go. Seemingly fearless in her sartorial choices, Chastain has yet to pinpoint her style or go-to designer, flitting easily from Vivienne Westwood to vintage YSL, wearing everything from shorts suits to dramatic gowns. See some of her most notable style moments in our ever-expanding slideshow.
