Anna Faris Has Had A Major Style Glow-Up Since She Broke Out In Hollywood

Anna Faris has come a long way in her style transformation. The star stepped onto the Hollywood scene in the early 2000s, and her faltering style showed her status as a newcomer. But over time, Faris has stepped into a bolder, more interesting styling profile. This was evident when Faris attended the premiere of "Scary Movie" in June 2026, where she looked sultry and sleek in a black sequin dress with daring cutouts. Worst-dressed lists, eat your heart out. 

Considering Faris' long and successful career, her red carpet style has had time to evolve, and she has been given the opportunity to hone in on what works best for her. The "House Bunny" star now appears to have nailed the styling game with bolder pieces in jewel tones that make her pop. Finding one's personal style takes time, and Faris has clearly found what suits her best.

Anna Faris was clearly new to the red carpet scene when she attended the premiere of "Scary Movie 2" in July 2001. She arrived in dark flared denim jeans with a plunging white top and a red leather jacket. The look was strikingly casual for a red carpet event, showing Faris' rookie status as a star. What was so distinct about this particular look of Faris' was her dark hair. The brunette tone would prove to be a singular choice, and she would later switch to — and stick with — blond. 

Anna Faris stepped things up at the premiere of "Lost in Translation" in New York City in September 2003. At the very least, she wasn't in jeans. But the overall look was again much too casual for the star power that Faris was striving for. Her short gray pleated skirt with calf-high boots and a leather jacket seemed better suited for a day at the mall instead of a Manhattan movie premiere.

Halter tops and bubble hems were hot hot hot back in the early 2000s, and Anna Faris proved that she could slay with the rest of the early aughts gals when she attended the "Lost in Translation" DVD Launch Party in February 2004. She paired a cream bubble halter top with a cream mini skirt and styled the 'fit with tonal heels. While the particular top faded in popularity for a time, Y2K fashion has made a comeback and Faris' look would easily make the cut for early '00s celebrity fashion we'd actually wear today. 

Anna Faris officially stunned in May 2008 when she attended the Guys Choice Awards at Sony Studios in Culver City, California. She wore a fire engine red strapless dress and kept all other accessorizing to a minimum, giving the overall vibe a very chill, sexy ambiance. Faris' long, blond hair was her secret weapon — a much-improved change from those early years of short brown locks. This was a stellar new chapter for Faris. 

The road to perfection always has a few setbacks. This was the case when Anna Faris attended the William Rast For Target event in December 2010 in Los Angeles, California wearing a strapless black dress. The short, bubble shaped skirt didn't flatter her, while the black platform pumps were so 2010, as was the chunky statement bracelet. Plus, Faris' shorter haircut meant that she lost the dazzle of her longer hair from years earlier. This 2010 appearance created a bit of a setback in her red carpet evolution. 

Anna Faris attended the premiere for "Zero Dark Thirty" in December 2012 with Chris Pratt by her side. Her look that night was a complicated one. The style of the gown showed that Faris was leaning towards more glamorous choices, something that would serve her well in the future. Unfortunately, the cream Tadashi Shoji gown washed her out. Faris shines in bolder colors, like black or jewel-tones. But, still, she was clearly making improvements to her red carpet style.  

Anna Faris hit a home run in December 2016 at the premiere of "Passengers" in Westwood, California. For this particular occasion, Faris chose a lavender gray gown by Reem Acra. The midi-length of the dress was flattering and sophisticated on the actor. Plus, the steel-tone of the gown created more of a unique contrast with Faris' complexion and hair tone, adding richness and depth compared to some of her more muted red carpet choices. 

Anna Faris looked sleek and sophisticated in a black column gown with a plunging neckline at the premiere of "Overboard" in Mexico City in May 2018. Her equally sleek blond hair emphasized her elegant styling. She and Chris Pratt first announced their separation in August 2017, and so this event was one of the first red carpets that Faris walked as a single woman. She looked so stunning that Faris clearly deserves a spot on the list of celebs who had an epic post-divorce glow-up.

The "Overboard" press tour was a big win for Anna Faris' red carpet style. For the Los Angeles premiere in April 2018, Faris wore a custom pink strapless sequin column gown by Jeffrey Dodd. The radiant color brought out the best in Faris, and her effortless curls added a modern edge to the glamorous dress. She was clearly comfortable at this point on the red carpet and felt at ease being the center of attention with such a show-stopping outfit.

Anna Faris stunned in a custom Mônot liquid-effect black sequin halter gown at the "Scary Movie" premiere in June 2026 in Los Angeles. The daring cut-outs added to her red carpet dazzle, proving that Faris has come a long way since her red carpet styling from the early aughts. To match the sharpness of her black dress, Faris wore her hair in a brilliant shade of white blond. The tone was so pretty that Faris deserves a spot on the list of celebrity blond shades to inspire your next salon visit. A sunning look.
