Is it just us or are young celebrities killing it on the red carpet as of late? When it comes to red carpet style, it’s expected to see some of our favourite (and more mature) celebrities making the list – think Diane Kruger, Cate Blanchett and Angelina Jolie. But lately, young starlets have been bringing their wardrobe A-game to the red carpet, naturally making their way onto best dressed lists alongside celebs that have been in the industry a lot longer. Sure, when it comes to talent, age doesn’t matter, but after stumbling across some of the ages of these young stars, we’d be lying if our minds weren’t blown to see how young these stars actually are. Because let’s be real here, some of us were not dressed so impeccably at age 14 (we’re looking at you Kiernan Shipka) or have Miu Miu campagins on our resume (ahem, Hailee Steinfeld and Elle Fanning). From up-and-coming Hollywood star Nicola Peltz to the industry’s top model Cara Delevingne, we’ve rounded up 15 A-lists stars under the age of 21 who have been topping the best dressed lists lately.
