13 Rose Byrne Style Moments That Prove She Has the Face (and Fashion) of The Future

I don't know about you, but I've been in love with the fabulous Rose Byrne ever since she made her big-time debut as a bitchy know-it-all and Kristen Wiig's arch enemy in Bridesmaids. Which is why I'm so psyched for the Australian actress, who's being honored Wednesday with the Women in Film's Max Mara Face of the Future Award. But it's not just her supremely impressive on-screen talent (or ability to make you laugh like crazy in hilarious films like Neighbors) that makes me adore the beautiful brunette: It's her unbelievable fashion sense, too. With a knack for dressing in chic, sleek, and minimalistic numbers — with the occasional printed frock thrown into the mix — Byrne is a shining example of the style rule that less really can be more. And to further prove it, here are 13 of her best red-carpet looks that show you exactly why she's set to become your next favorite style star.
