Minka Kelly‘s breezy style epitomizes versatility.
For years, the “Roommate” star has become known for her California-meets-contemporary looks. On the red carpet, Kelly favors gowns with intricate floral and lace patterns from designers like Carolina Herrera. Off the carpet, she frequently wears casual jeans, blouses and midi dresses with a chic nonchalance, paired with sharp jackets and leather totes.
When it comes to footwear, Kelly—recently spotted with Trevor Noah, whom many are rumoring to be his girlfriend—keeps her styles equally sharp and classic. During press circuits, appearances and formal occasions, she can be seen in peep-toe and pointed-toe pumps, as well as chic sandals, from brands like Christian Loubpoutin. When off-duty, her style takes a turn for the casually boho, featuring Ancient Greek Sandals sandals, Vans sneakers and utterly classic ballet flats.
While strolling in Beverly Hills, Calif., in 2009, Kelly epitomized laid-back 2000s style in a white button-down shirt and beige cargo trousers. Her top featured two front breast pockets and short sleeves, a top trend of the time. She cinched her look with a brown leather belt, accessorizing with aviator sunglasses, a pendant necklace and pink wristlet. Kelly’s look was complete with cork wedges totaling at least 4 inches in height, featuring brown leather straps.

The “500 Days of Summer” actress strolled for a dramatic shoot wearing a white halter-neck dress, complete with a belted silhouette, bodice cutout and knee-length skirt. Her look’s glamour was elevated by beige peep-toe Christian Louboutin pumps, which featured platform soles and stiletto heels totaling at least 5 inches in height.
