Amy Adams's 25 best looks, from glittering red carpet gowns to elegant printed midi dresses

For dreamy red carpet dressing, you can’t go wrong with Amy Adams’s best looks. 

Adams made her film debut in the dark comedy Drop Dead Gorgeous in 1999 and got her first major role in Steven Spielberg's biopic Catch Me If You Can in 2002. However, her breakthrough came in the 2005 comedy-drama Junebug, followed by fantasy film Enchanted in 2007. 

The star - who has a daughter with her actor husband Darren Le Gallo - featured on several big releases from the 2010s, including American Hustle, Big Eyes, Nocturnal Animals and Arrival, as well as the TV series Sharp Objects. During her glittering career, she has won Golden Globe Awards and several Oscar nominations. So it's safe to say she's frequented many a red carpet - from the Oscars to the Golden Globes - where she always showcases the most stunning of ensembles. 

Many of her most memorable outfits are her best red carpet looks - think sweeping princess-like gowns or slinky sparkling frocks. However, we have also seen her dress with a cooler, more relaxed edge - in statement midi dresses and sleek tailoring - at glitzy showbiz events, providing ideal smart-casual inspiration.
