Laura Linney's Style Evolution (PHOTOS)

HuffPost Social Reading

In addition to a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award, Laura Linney deserves recognition for her classy yet modern style. The actress, known for her roles in “Mystic River,” “Kinsey,” and “The Big C,” traded in peekaboo lace and drab styles for empire waist dresses, statuesque column gowns and cute cocktail frocks.

Linney streamlines her looks with solid colors. She’s worn variations of yellow, purple and red, but also sticks to tried-and-true black. She is a New Yorker, after all.

See more of Linney’s red carpet style as she celebrates her 49th birthday this Tuesday with her husband, Marc Schauer, and see what's inside the star's bag.

And have a look through our many other Style Evolutions here.

Her Wikipedia page said that she was born on February 5th 1964. That would make her 48 and not 49. Hummm....

Ms Linney is our best actress. A genius.

My God, she doesn't look any older ... only better. I love her !!!

Whatever other awards she wins, she should certainly be given an award for working hard. This woman is in every movie I watch. She is ubiquitous. It's a good thing I like her or it would be really annoying. I've never seen another actor with such exposure. Her resume must be a mile long.

One of the best actresses on screen. I love her natural look.

nah.

Wow, she's won 3 Emmy Awards, 2 Golden Globes and the SAG Award. She's been nominated for the Academy Award 3 times. You apparently don't get out much.

White women do not age well compared to women of color. So to me yes, she looks her age.

I've heard that argued with the exact opposite point of view. Both of them are nonsense.

She looks even better with age. Her role in Maze was memorable.

Laura is lovely and such an underrated actress.
03:20 PM on 02/07/2012
I don't know how underrated she is. She has a ton of awards to her credit. I think she's one of the best actresses around.

Such a beautiful woman; such ugly clothes. (Or is it the quality of those photos/lighting?)
