Sandra Bullock

Award-winning actor On the red carpet, Sandra Bullock has always made a point. It’s hard to recall a time when the actress wasn’t America’s sweetheart—with a wardrobe full of Lanvin and Marchesa to match—but after more than two decades on the red carpet, she’s tried it all: crop tops, plunging necklines, even frosty lipstick (it was the ’90s, after all).

Sandra Bullock made her film debut 30 years ago, in the 1987 thriller Hangmen, in a minor role. She went on to receive an Academy Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and a Golden Globe, among several other credits, over the next several decades. Bullock stunned in a shimmering champagne-hued Marchesa gown when she won Best Actress in 2010; four years later, when she was nominated again, this time for her role in Gravity, she chose a much more subtle number, a strapless navy mermaid gown by Alexander McQueen. The actress is also not afraid to wear bold colors, as evidenced by her violet Bottega Venetta gown from the 2010 Golden Globes and a Prabal Gurung color-blocked gown from the 2014 event.
