Gillian Anderson's 25 best looks

There's an array of colours and elegant cuts among Gillian Anderson's best looks. The actress has become more confident with her fashion choices during her decades-long glittering on-screen career, and we have seen her step out - everywhere from Oscars parties to Netflix premieres - in head-turning ensembles worthy of the Hollywood star that she is.

Anderson started her career on the stage in New York, before landing a leading role in the TV show The X-Files in the 1990s - for which she won an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award for her portrayal of Special Agent Dana Scully. She went on to win the same awards again for playing Margaret Thatcher in the series The Crown.

The star - who has three children - has also appeared in several other small-screen hits, including Sex Education, The Fall and The First Lady, as well as the BBC adaptations of Bleak House and Great Expectations. Similarly, she has big-screen credits, including two The X-Files films and The Last King Of Scotland, and has performed in critically acclaimed theatre productions such as A Streetcar Named Desire.

In numerous red carpet appearances over the years, Anderson has shown off her bold sense of style - and these are the looks we'll never forget.
