Kiernan Shipka's Best Red-Carpet Looks
From Huffington Post to Just Jared Jr., everyone has been singing the praises of Kiernan Shipka lately, for both her flawless acting on the current season of Mad Men and her stylish red-carpet looks. Here's a look back at some of her most popular ensembles, from oldest to most recent.
Age 12, at the 2012 ELLE Women in Hollywood Party
As if she wasn't cool enough as a Hollywood youngster, Kiernan just had to show off her sophistication, which beats the mature looks of most women twice her age! At the 2012 Women In Hollywood Party, she demonstrated her chic style by pairing a classy dress with a hot pink, book-inspired clutch and black stilettos.
Age 13, at the 2013 SAG Awards
Kiernan pulled out all the ladylike stops for the 2013 SAG Awards, showing up with vintage flair commonly seen on her onscreen character, Sally Draper. She was perfectly styled from head-to-toe, wearing retro waves, a stunning Oscar de la Renta dress, and matching heels.
Age 13, at the 2013 Emmy Awards
Unlike most budding starlets, Kiernan ditched the go-to bandage dress safe zone and instead opted for this drop-dead gorgeous Delpozo midi-length gown at the 2013 Emmys. The modern floral print made the retro silhouette look fresh.
Age two days shy of 14, at the 2013 London Style Suites
We're quite convinced that Kiernan knows a thing or two about dressing with inspiration from years past, but can she hack it when it comes to experimental dressing? She sure can, and she showed off her modern taste on the black carpet at the London Style Suites. To the event, the actress sported a white top splashed with a futuristic abstract pattern, and a matching skirt which had a zig-zag hem.
Age 14, at the 2013 premiere of Justin Bieber's Believe
Just because she has the sophistication of a thirty-something doesn't mean that Kiernan can't hang with the cool kids! She happens to be quite the pop-music fan and enjoyed bumping shoulders with other Hollywood youngsters at the Believe premiere. She spiffed up for the event in a Valentino frock which featured sheer mesh and polka dots across the sleeveless chest, and a contrasting, floral bottom which flared out at the waist.
Age 14, at the 2014 AFI Awards
Kiernan knows that she doesn't have to sacrifice being stunning for subtle. At the 2013 AFI Awards, she stood out in this simple, fit-and-flare frock. Its design featured yellow floral and black trim, and she completed the look with pulled back tresses and black heels. This subdued look showed off her radiant, youthful glow.
Age 14, at the 2014 Costume Designers Guild Awards
Hailing from Chicago, Kiernan is a big-city girl, so it's no surprise that the actress would gravitate toward flashy, cosmopolitan looks reminiscent of Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw. Take the 16th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards, for example, where Kiernan showed up in a snazzy ensemble by Delpozo, which had a flouncy checkered top and a flowing, painterly skirt.
Age 14, at Vanity Fair's 2014 Young Hollywood Party
Like most teens, Kiernan has to indulge in more quirky styles every now and then. When she does it, however, it is with elegance and grace. She decided to show off a unique look at the 2014 Young Hollywood Party, where she wore a Christian Dior dress featuring Andy Warhol's high-heeled shoe prints. It was taken up a notch by a sheer overlay, which added mystery and modesty to its shorter hemline.
Age 14, at Max Mara's 2014 Women in Film Party
Leather can be ladylike in the form of this full, knee-length skirt paired with a classic silk top. Kiernan scored in this look at a cocktail party last May, and her studded purse adds an edge of rebellious sans angst.
Age 14, at the 2014 premiere of Million Dollar Arm
This playfully proportioned frock made Kiernan look like a million bucks at the Los Angeles premiere for her Mad Men dad's Jon Hamm's movie Million Dollar Arm. Bonus points for working in a crop top that’s age appropriate.
Age 14, at the 2014 MuchMusic Video Awards
The starlet is pretty in this pink embellished number. Sure, it's strapless and mini, but the dramatic draping adds some seriously chic flair. So do her playful box clutch and minimal sandals.
