If her role in Carol proved anything it's that this red carpet rebel is incredibly versatile. Not only in the roles she's played (take a look at the chick's IMDb), but also in the fashion choices she's made. With every award show the length of her gown, its silhouette and the height of her heels change. Though, two things are for sure: She loves a slicked-back ponytail and she's got a thing for black and/or white. What will she be wearing to the Oscars? Take a look at her style timeline and you might just get a clue.
