Amy Adams Has Had Some Gorgeous Red Carpet Moments

Amy Adams is one of Hollywood's most underrated red carpet fashionistas. Throughout her nearly 30-year career, the "Nocturnal Animals" star has worn stunning gowns to awards ceremonies and premieres. While Adams is almost unrecognizable with her natural blond hair, the actor has maintained her signature look for years with incredible outfits; Adams knows what looks good on her, from colors to silhouettes. This makes her one of the most consistently best-dressed celebrities on the red carpet. 

Adams seldom attends awards ceremonies when she is not a nominee or an award presenter, so she uses her rare appearances to truly shine. The six-time Academy Award nominee favors simple silhouettes that flatter her body type, bold textures that add a bit of flair to neutral-colored dresses, and bright pops of color that compliment her pale complexion and red hair; Adams often switches up the tone and shade of her trademark red hair, but always makes sure to tailor her gowns' colors for each new look. We're taking a closer look at some of Adams' most gorgeous red carpet moments to discover just how solid her styling has been. 

The 2019 Academy Awards were an important night for Amy Adams, given that she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in "Vice," and her chic red carpet look fit the moment perfectly. Adams wore a strapless white gown embroidered with sparkling silver beads in 3D art deco-esque designs, made custom for her by Versace. The star dialed up the glamor with some stunning bling from the Cartier archives. Adams may not have won the Oscar, but she certainly secured herself a spot on the best-dressed list of the night.  

Amy Adams knows how to do classic red carpet glamour right, and this look proves it. Adams attended Vanity Fair's annual Oscar Party in 2017, making a statement with her metallic gown. The dress was created by Tom Ford — the filmmaker and fashion designer who directed "Nocturnal Animals," which Adams starred in. It featured long sleeves, a figure-hugging skirt, and a plunging V-neckline. Adams' strawberry blond hair was styled in sculpted curls that absolutely complimented the gown's Old Hollywood vibes. 

In 2014, Amy Adams opted for a simple, yet elegant look for the red carpet. While attending the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Adams rocked a bright blue one-shoulder gown. Bold colors like cobalt blue suit redheads beautifully, and the classic, yet still visually interesting, cut of the vivid dress went well with the actor's styled red hair. That year, Adams and the rest of the "American Hustle" ensemble took home the award for Outstanding Performance By a Cast in a Motion Picture.

Amy Adams wore another dress designed by "Nocturnal Animals" director Tom Ford to the actual Oscars ceremony in 2017. Adams took to the red carpet in a slinky black gown covered in reflective sequins; the actor bared her shoulders and collarbone in the sleeveless dress, showing just enough skin to be sultry without going over the top for a formal ceremony. The figure-hugging gown was simple and understated, but suited Adams perfectly all the same. 

One of Amy Adams' most iconic roles is her portrayal of Giselle in Disney's 2007 film "Enchanted." Six years after the film's premiere, Adams brought back the modern fairytale vibes at the Academy Awards. The actor swept across the red carpet in a soft gray ballgown designed by Oscar de la Renta, which featured a strapless bodice and dramatic tulle skirt. The star kept her hair and jewelry simple, allowing the dress to make a statement on its own. 

Amy Adams matched the Golden Globes red carpet perfectly in 2014, and we're still obsessed with her gorgeous gown. Adams attended the ceremony in a two-tone red dress by Valentino. The backless gown included a risqué plunging neckline, but its elegant, flowing skirt reigned in the sexiness enough to suit the formal occasion. While some believe those with red hair should avoid red in their outfits, Adams proved that this is a big fashion myth that redheads should just ignore.
