We don't care if you've seen all the Star Wars movies or none at all: Kelly Marie Tran deserves to be on your radar. The actress, who plays Rose Tico in the blockbuster franchise, has quietly been ruling the red carpet over the years, stepping out in showstopping gowns, structured suits, and not-so-basic jumpsuits .

Going back through Tran's fashion resume, it's hard to find a time when she looked anything less than spectacular. Sequins? She loves 'em. Bright colors? That's her specialty. There have been countless times when Tran convinced us she's a style icon on the rise, particularly when she wore dresses exclusively by Asian designers during The Rise of Skywalker press tour — all styled by Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald. 

"It's not just that they're Asian, it's also that they're incredible artists," she told Vogue in December 2019. "I think it's wonderful when you can tie fashion to a message. If I can say something by choosing specific designers and acknowledging their creativity, [while] also acknowledging their heritage and where I'm from, it's a beautiful thing." 

Ahead, we've rounded up Kelly Marie Tran's best looks at the Oscars, movie premieres, and more.
