Megan Fox's style evolution is one for the ages

See her most memorable looks from 2003 to now.

By

Megan Fox's style has changed a LOT over the years. And it's not totally surprising given she first entered the media spotlight almost 20 years ago. Yep, we challenge anyone to keep their early 2000s trend-pieces in high rotation for two decades (unless you're part of the Y2K revival, that is). So, with a tonne of events under her belt, we are now blessed with one helluva fashion evolution. Strap yourselves in, gang, because we're about to take a look back through the archives.

From Megan's very first red carpet looks, where low-rise shorts and fluoro mini dresses reigned supreme, to her sleeker fitted midis and elegant gowns in the mid-noughties, she's one style chameleon. More recently, the actor's started experimenting with bold details including cutouts, sheer panels and, of course, who could forget that iconic naked dress?

It's safe to say that the last few months alone have been a wild ride in Meghan's wardrobe, featuring outfits like her "BDSM Spice" getup, a homage to Euphoria and a mini dress with the word 'SEX' plastered across the front. With that in mind, you can only imagine what you get when you go back twenty years. Well, don't worry about imagining it, because we've done all the research for you.

Scroll through to see Megan's style journey from 2003 to present.

At the waist, you can also see a periwinkle-blue floral waist attachment that gives this look a pop of colour. Megan accessorised the statement dress with a twinkly diamond necklace.

The number also features long sleeves and subtle shoulder details.

The star then finishes the look with a pair of bronze peep-toe platforms and her signature black wavy hair finishing just above her hips.

Of course, Megan's Barbie pink Mach & Mach jumpsuit still lives in our heads rent-free. There's no scrimping on attention to detail, with even the straps perfectly matching the bows on her stilettos.

Here she is repping a cropped blazer and black skinny jeans in 2016 - an outfit that, again, feels quite a way away from those daring red carpet dresses we just saw. Still, this is an office-appropriate 'business chic' ensemble, unlike the 'business casual Bratz doll' vibe she described herself wearing earlier this year.
