Tilda Swinton’s fashion choices, like her movie roles, tend to stray from the Hollywood norm. With a penchant for strong architectural details and menswear-inspired pieces, the actress is always guaranteed to shy away from the mainstream and wear something unexpected. Known for her love of Haider Ackermann, as well as designers with a similarly minimalist aesthetic like Lanvin, Céline, and Jil Sander, she’s been touted as one of today’s most original and visionary dressers. See the actress’s style highlights in our slideshow.
