One does not simply become a style star overnight. Australian model and performer Ruby Rose is known for her tailored, androgynous look, but back in 2008, she was channeling the pirate life in skull T-shirts and Alexander McQueen headscarves.

The Orange Is the New Black actress’s air of DGAF has taken many forms throughout the years: multiple poof hairstyles, playful Lady Gaga sunglasses, streetwear swagger. See her dramatic style evolution in the slideshow ahead.
