She’s been acting since she was 15, but Amanda Seyfried catapulted to stardom following her film debut in the 2004 teen comedy movie Mean Girls.
Today, she’s considered one of Hollywood’s most talented actresses, with a long list of successful movies and accolades under her belt.
Adding another feather to her cap, the 36-year-old actress made this year’s TIME 100 Most Influential People list under the Artists category.

Mank director David Fincher praised the “Jennifer’s Body” actress for her “rare ability to make one reassess one’s own imaginative shortcomings.”
“When I lured Amanda Seyfried into Mank, her ability to be simultaneously knowing and warm opened that role to a (much) larger conversation than the script might have otherwise imitated. People may have thought of her as a rom-comedienne, but she’s got a lot more going under the hood,” he said in the actress’ TIME Magazine profile.

The $4,990 dress featured a dramatic floor-sweeping long train in the back and a flared front hem that allowed her to parade her slim legs.
It also has a slim-fit design, a fan-pleated ruffled bodice, and spaghetti straps.
Dakota Fanning’s look-alike paired the look with Francesco Russo pumps in black patent leather. These pumps have asymmetric front straps with buckle fastenings, pointed toes, and 4-inch stiletto heels.

Her stylist Elizabeth Stewart worked closely with Catherine Sarr of Almasika Fine Jewelry to create Amanda’s custom necklace, featuring a sculpted metal embellished with De Beers diamonds that are ethically and sustainably sourced in Botswana.
Stewart said it’s made as part of the #BlackisBrilliant project “initiated by the De Beers groups and Rad Advocacy to amplify Black voices and talent and give them fair representation on global red carpets.”
Adding color to her look was a swipe of Lancome L’Absolu Rouge Badaboum cream lipstick, care of makeup artist Genevieve Herr. Meanwhile, hairstylist Renato Campora coiffed her blonde tresses up into a retro side-swept bun.

Amanda was accompanied by her husband of five years Thomas Sadoski, who looked handsome in a black suit and tie with a white shirt underneath.
The Newsroom star styled the look with an INARA pin, honoring the non-profit organization that provides medical care to displaced children. The two are board members of the said organization.

Seyfried, meanwhile, stole the spotlight in a red mini dress that put her legs on full display.
She selected a Carolina Herrera Resort 2023 creation, featuring a wrap-style design with a playful mini tulle train in the back.
Justin Long’s ex teamed it with matching red Portofino heels by Gianvito Rossi and kept the rest of her look simple by wearing her tresses down and adding a swipe of muted pink lip color.

The following day, Seyfried attended the Emmy ‘For Your Consideration’ event for her Hulu miniseries The Dropout, based on the ABC podcast of the same name hosted by Rebecca Jarvis.
It’s about the rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes (played by Seyfried), founder of the biotechnology company Theranos. She stars opposite Naveen Andrews as Sunny Balwani, the former president and COO of Theranos.

For the panel discussion, the In Time actress opted for an edgy business look in a Zadig & Voltaire sequined short suit with a sheer white shirt underneath.
Parading her slender legs, Amanda wore the $378 “Pink” high-waist shorts embellished with glistening black sequins. She teamed the look with the matching $798 “Valdy” suit jacket with quarter sleeves and a 5-button detail on the sleeves.
Finishing the look with classic black leather pumps, the mom-of-two parted her blonde tresses to the side in soft waves and glammed up with mascara, pink smokey eyeshadow, and matching pink lipstick.
