Today marks 51 years of Chloë Sevigny. The actor has been on the scene for more than half her life, earning her It-girl distinction in a sprawling seven-page article in The New Yorker in 1994. While Sevigny cut her teeth in film with Kids, her singular sense of style is not to be overlooked.

Sevigny knows no bounds when it comes to fashion. She offered a casual take on menswear at the 1999 Academy Awards nominees’ luncheon, donning a pair of gray shorts and a long, loose necktie. But, on the other end of the spectrum, she isn’t afraid to lean into the sex appeal, like when she wore a spring 2004 Louis Vuitton cutout dress by Marc Jacobs to play blackjack at Copacabana.

These days, Sevigny continues to live up to the It-girl name, strolling down the street in over-the-top Prada coats and variations on a classic ballet flat in lace-up ECCOs. And while she’s no stranger to the likes of Chanel Haute couture, Miu Miu (which she’s walked the runway for multiple times), and Saint Laurent (she currently is the face of a larger-than-life ad campaign), she also champions younger brands like Christopher John Rogers and Simone Rocha. This past year alone, she’s championed the emerging shoe brand Jude, and pushed the envelope in a bubble-skirted Saint Laurent dress with a lace catsuit beneath.

Between her unmatched street style and risk-taking red carpet looks, Chloë Sevigny is exercising her lifelong commitment to serving. In honor of her 51st birthday, enjoy a look back at some of her greatest sartorial moments.
