Catch A Falling Star | Fashion Spotlight on Shailene Woodley

It’s been a long road for Shailene Woodley. The California native has since gone under a transformation from girl next door to outright Hollywood superstar. The actress started out life on the TV screen in The Secret Life of an American Teenager, before going on to start in critically acclaimed films such as The Descendants and The Spectacular now. She’s now set to front two of the biggest book to film adaptations since The Hunger Games, Divergent and The Fault In Our Stars, as Tris Prior and Hazel Grace Lancaster respectively. Touted as the next Jennifer Lawrence, whilst the heights of blinding fame do seem the set course for the actress, Shailene is definitely walking to the beat of her own drum. Calm, collected and oozing effortless Californian charm, Shailene is more likely to be that uber-zen friend you meet a pilates than that class clown.  

Not only is her acting resume attracting glances from the public eye, but the fashion world are fascinated by her ethereal earth girl aura. As well as racking up the magazine cover shoots and features, Shailene’s style transformation has really captured my attention. I’ve given her flack in the past for her red carpet choices, but she seems to have done a 180 in an exciting direction, ranking her in the same league as such stylish ladies as Emma Watson, Emma Stone and Dianna Agron.

She hasn’t quite pinpointed her style signature, but that’s the great thing. The 22 year old actress has been playing around with shapes, formal and informal cuts, both bold and basic colours, as well as the occasional showstopping gown. Her new cropped-do, also seems to have contributed to her new lease of life – as was the case with Lawrence. I’m definitely excited to see what she’s got up her sleeve next – especially as we still have the rest of the Divergent AND TFIOS press tours to go!
