It didn’t take long for Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline to find her footing on the red carpet. As soon as the series took Netflix by storm in 2020, Cline quickly established herself on the step and repeat with refined silhouettes and lots of sequins and sparkle to match.
The Charleston native (fittingly, that’s also where OBX is set) brings an all-American spirit to the red carpet, whether she’s in floor-length Tommy Hilfiger at the Met Gala or decked out in metallic Oscar de la Renta embroidery. Aside from the occasional archival moment, Cline has also made inroads with top European houses like Givenchy, Armani, and Stella McCartney. While she usually strays away from patterns and prints, the actress isn’t afraid to really make a statement with exposed lingerie or risky cut-outs.
