Julianne Moore gets better with age. As her career has progressed, Moore’s landed increasingly enviable roles and transformed into a bona fide fashion figure. Gone are the days of ill-fitting, unremarkable dresses and overly shiny pantsuits — now if she’s going to be criticized for how a dress fits, it will be Chanel couture and it will still look good. A favorite of designers like Tom Ford, Moore has appeared on the covers of Vogue, T, W, and Elle, fronted Bulgari’s ad campaigns, and was one of the first to wear Alexander Wang’s debut Balenciaga collection at this year’s Met Gala. To celebrate her birthday today, check out some of the actress’s best fashion moments in our look book.
