An Oscar nomination for 2010's True Grit may have ushered Hailee Steinfeld into the world of awards shows and movie premieres early on in her career, but it's her genre-defying talent that's kept her a Hollywood (and red carpet) mainstay ever since. The actress has managed to alternate between big-budget films like Bumblebee and Marvel's Hawkeye series to the period dramedy Dickinson and musical franchise Pitch Perfect 2. 

That's all the better for fans of Steinfeld's throwback fashion style, who get to see her on even more red carpets in looks from favorite designers like Prabal Gurung, Giambattista Valli, and Miu Miu. The secret to Steinfeld's sartorial success? Whether she's at the Met Gala or the Grammys and no matter who dresses her, she sticks to what she likes: fitted silhouettes, sky-high heels, and zero fear of showing off her physique via micro mini-dresses. 

It's no surprise that those are the calling cards of her red carpet style, given that Steinfeld's fashion influences are said to include '90s icons like Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, with the actress telling Music Choice (via US Weekly), "It's so fun to be inspired by fashion from years and years ago and trends that are happening now."
