Blake Lively started out dressing like a normal girl in her first red carpet appearances. And although the dress itself does not look bad (this woman does not look bad, ever), her style has been transformed over the years.

Her signing as a Gucci image has had a lot to do with this transformation, and when she appeared on the Cannes red carpet in this way, few doubted that a true diva had just been born.

That Cannes Festival also left us this other look that, we think, is one of the best she has ever worn. Afterwards, Blake has continued in the same vein, showing that even with a huge pregnant belly you can have a lot, a lot, style.
Too many layers

We all have a past and if not ask Olivia Palermo. Now she is one of the most stylish it girls, but there was a time when even a dress and jacket combination resisted her.

Of course, now she is one of the few women capable of wearing garments as impossible as this coat with a sophistication that has nothing to envy that of other style icons like Audrey Hepburn.
Mix of patterns

And you have to have everything very controlled to get out of a mix as impossible as the one that the socialite carries in this look.

Emma Stone was not very clear which colors were the ones that suited her pale skin, nor was it clear which silhouettes were capable of highlighting her figure instead of hiding it.
The queen of glamor

When she won her Oscar for La La Land, she had already given a few style lessons, but that day she was especially favored. Pure sophistication.

So much so that this year he took the risk of going to the ceremony in a suit, gaining followers and detractors alike. You may like this style more or less - in fact, in the newsroom we had mixed opinions - but it is clear that Emma Stone knows how to take advantage of and controls the tones that suit her the most. She showed that when it comes to red carpets, it's not all about jeweled dresses (no matter how good they feel).

Even Alexa Chung, the queen of casual, has her baroque past. The presenter turned it girl went cheesy in this pink ruffled dress.
Pure Alexa

But she soon found her own style and began to wear pieces as perfect as this reinterpretation of the shirt dress that only she would wear like this. Even now, she has her own clothing firm and has written a book about her role as it girl.

But she doesn't just use preppy looks to triumph on the red carpet. Alexa is able (now) to wear 'princess' dresses without being nerdy.
Teenage style

When we first met Emma Watson she was just a child and her red carpet appearances weren't, and didn't have to, be what they are now. The style of the young woman evolved and has become a style icon for the girls of her generation.

A good part of the blame for that rise to the fashion podiums was his haircut at the end of the Harry Potter saga but also choices like this one, which made a difference and made him have his own stamp.

Then Emma became Bella and her style took a slight shift to a more romantic side. However, there was still a lot of her because famous is the Instagram account that was opened only to show her ecological and committed looks from the promotional tour of her film.
From boho to chic

Another great transformation has been that experienced by our beloved Jennifer Lawrence. She started out as the girl next door and ended up turned, like Blake, into a diva because of a fashion brand.

In his case, Dior has been the culprit that his style has been transformed so profoundly in such a short time. Even so, Jennifer continues to play distraction and as soon as she surprises us with ultra-romantic looks like this or …

… she goes to the opposite side and wears more sugary creations that fit perfectly with her irreverent personality, but that continue to elevate her as one of the best dressed whatever the event she goes to.
It seems incredible that when we see them posing on the red carpet with their Gucci, Dior or Louis Vuitton dresses they have not always been like this. But a diva is not born, it is made or it may be hidden under unflattering and not very stylish dresses … in any case, these 6 celebrities have seen how their wardrobe was transforming while they gained fame and received the help of some fashion expert or an entire firm.
This is how these famous women became style icons
- Blake Lively. Gossip Girl had a good fault for her transformation and her subsequent signing as a Gucci image. The second would not have happened without the first but of course that has been what has made the difference. Her great transformation into a true style icon came from the hand of Cannes and her appearance on its red carpet with several looks of the firm that elevated her to the Olympus of the best dressed.
- Olivia Palermo. Being a fashion blogger gives you a lot of income but it is not the only thing. Like all of us, Olivia has photos that surely she would rather forget in which her famous impossible mixes did not turn out all that well. Luckily the girl learned quickly and has become an icon that we can be inspired by every day.
- Emma Watson. It is normal that her first appearances on the red carpet were not very successful, after all, she was just a girl. But over time, Emma has become the owner of her own style and has managed to put that vindictive side to her looks.
- Jennifer Lawrence. She dressed like any other girl her age until Dior crossed her path and all her appearances on the red carpet started to make headlines.
- Emma Stone. Emma has managed to recover the glamor of the most classic Hollywood based on delicate dresses with rhinestones and daring with jacket suits even at the Oscars.
- Alexa Chung . His preppy style has fallen in love with half the world and now he even has his own clothing brand but when he was younger he was not so clear about what he favored.
