Elizabeth Olsen is a woman who knows what she likes. At least, that’s what her best red carpet looks and style evolution seem to indicate. Throughout her career, Olsen has developed a signature red carpet aesthetic you can spot from a mile away. Whether she’s attending an international film festival or jetting halfway around the world for a movie premiere, Olsen rarely deviates from her red carpet “big three”: V-neck gowns, gorgeously tailored suits, and opulent minidresses.

Of course, the WandaVision star does mix things up from time to time. She’ll occasionally step out in a floor-length gown with a slightly elevated neckline or an open back, or swap out a thigh-skimming mini in favor of a matching set. The actor and her stylist, Elizabeth Stewart, often play with proportion when it comes to suiting and mix luxe embellishments into Olsen’s go-to color palette — more on that later — but even so, this A-lister’s fashion opus is one of the most consistent in Hollywood. 

The backbone of Olsen’s consistent red carpet aesthetic is a handful of elite designers — the Avengers of the red carpet if you will. Time and again, the MCU’s Scarlet Witch appears in Givenchy, Alexandre Vauthier, Alexander McQueen, Christian Dior, Miu Miu, and The Row (conveniently designed by her very own sisters, Ashley and Mary-Kate). Along with her favorite luxury labels and silhouettes, she shows a clear color palette preference, often choosing ivory or black. When she’s not living her best monochromatic life, she dabbles in rich jewel tones and occasionally peppers in pastels.

We could wax poetic on the clearly defined — and regularly refined — look that makes Olsen such an understated red carpet icon, but instead, we’ve rounded up her 18 most iconic looks so you can see it for yourself. 

At this year’s Oscars, Olsen showed off her favorite neckline in the back as well as the front in a shimmering sequined Givenchy gown that had her topping best-dressed lists left and right.

She may not have played a classic femme fatale in the MCU, but Olsen can certainly deliver classic femme fatale vibes on a red carpet. Dripping in Cartier diamond jewelry and wearing sleek and strappy Giuseppe Zanotti sandals, Olsen looked truly timeless in a curve-hugging Givenchy gown at the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar Party. 

Olsen loves a suit, but she’s rarely spotted in a traditional one. You’re more likely to see this celeb in something unique like the vintage Armani Privé suit she wore to the premiere of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness than a basic black tuxedo.

When Olsen does opt for a black suit, she’s still sure to deliver exciting details. See: the Alexandre Vauthier suit she wore to the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness premiere in Los Angeles.

Olsen’s red carpet style during the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness rollout made it clear that Wanda wears the pants. During a press event for the film in London, Olsen paired her signature sleek styling with a gorgeously embellished Alexander McQueen vest and matching trousers.
