Brie Larson’s bold red-carpet style predates her mainstream success. Before Prada came knocking on her door to design a custom Joan of Arc–inspired suit for the Met Gala, she wore everything from high socks paired with cocktail dresses to twee nautical looks. The prospect of breaking a sweat on the step-and-repeat didn’t even scare her away from leather dresses. See how the former child star went from Von Dutch hats to Versace gowns in our slideshow ahead. Up for a bit of a challenge? Try finding a photo of the Room actress not smiling — good luck.
