It’s so nice to see a young actress grow up to be gorgeous and sexy in the appropriate way. We’re talking about Abigail Kathleen Breslin, who was born on April 14, 1996, in New York City.

It’s hard to believe that the girl from Little Miss Sunshine and Signs is the same actress who played an abducted teenager alongside Halle Berry in The Call and Libby Putney, better known as Chanel #5, on Scream Queens.
Abigail Breslin then and now
In 2008, Abigail was a 12-year-old making a name for herself on the silver screen. Back then, she was a cute young girl wearing dresses and flats.

Many years have passed since then, and we’re happy to see that the actress has grown up well.
Abigail Breslin was three years old when she made her film debut in M. Night Shyamalan’s science fiction horror film Signs (2002)
She’s not vulgar, crazy, or high on drugs and alcohol (as many child celebrities tend to be when they get older).
How old is Olive in Little Miss Sunshine?
The husband-wife team of Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris traveled to “every English-speaking country” to search for the actress to portray the aspiring beauty queen Olive Hoover. The directors finally chose actress Abigail Breslin through an audition when she was six.

Principal photography began on June 6, 2005, when Abigail was 9-years-old. She was still 9 when the film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 20, 2006. Abigail turned 10 on April 14, 2006.
How old was Abigail Breslin in Zombieland?
Just a couple of years later, she was cast as Little Rock in Zombieland, a 2009 American post-apocalyptic zombie comedy film directed by Ruben Fleischer. She portrayed the same character in the 2019 sequel Zombieland: Double Tap.
The filming for Zombieland began in February 2009, when Abigail was 12-years-old. The film premiered at Fantastic Fest on September 25, 2009, when she was 13.

When growing up, Abigail was quite the style icon for teens. Let’s take a look at some of her best-dressed teenage moments.
1. Sophisticated in Alice + Olivia Pumps
For Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week’s Alice + Olivia Spring/Summer 2013 show, Abigail kept it simple in a form-fitting black dress paired with Alice + Olivia heart-print pumps.
She looked absolutely sophisticated in this ensemble. What do you think?

We couldn’t find Abigail’s exact pair online, but the following pair from Nordstrom is closely similar to the Mary Jane version:

2. Sweet in Jimmy Choo “Sugar”
Little Miss Sunshine proved she had a great fashion sense at the LA premiere of her movie New Year’s Eve (she played Hailey, Sarah Jessica Parker’s 15-year-old daughter).

The young actress looked like a modern-day princess in her white Marchesa dress paired with Jimmy Choo “Sugar” peep-toe pumps.

The satin crystal-embellished shoes really gave off a fairy-tale vibe. Do you agree?

3. Stylish in Alejandro Ingelmo “Sophia”
At the New York premiere of ‘New Year’s Eve’, Abigail switched the sparkle from her shoes to her dress.

Since her shiny black L’Agence dress caught enough attention, she kept her shoes simple.

She wore the nude “Sophia” platform pumps from Alejandro Ingelmo.

The Sophia shoes are Abigail’s go-to pair of nude pumps. She’s been spotted in them on other occasions, too:

4. Trendy in Jeffrey Campbell Shoes
Our favorite look is Abigail’s ensemble at the LA premiere of The Call. She wore a cool cropped Alice + Olivia jacket with a huge bow and a pair of high-waist pants. It’s unfortunate that the wide-leg pants covered her Jeffrey Campbell shoes.
If they were anything like the pair she wore to her interview on ‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’, we’re certain we would love them, too. Is her all-black look your favorite as well?

5. Casual in BOC by Born “Brygida”
Even while arriving at the Los Angeles Airport, Abigail looked trendy and chic.
She wore a tan maxi dress under a denim jacket and accessorized it with a long necklace. We love the fedora and large shades she added to make it more casual.

She paired the whole ensemble with “Brygida” sandals from BOC by Born.

The strappy brown wedges were perfect for her casual ensemble. Don’t you think so?
