In the beloved CW teen drama Riverdale, Lili Reinhart played the ultimate Girl Next Door in Betty Cooper. But off-screen and on the red carpet, the actor has given that archetype a modern, elevated twist through the years.
Since her breakout role in 2017, Reinhart’s style has been defined by soft romanticism—think flowing silhouettes, vintage-inspired floral prints, and delicate tailoring—done with a fresh perspective. The actor isn’t afraid to mix in a no-pants moment (usually via suiting) or incorporate a daring leg split into her red carpet repertoire. But even with her riskier moments, the actor’s love of a classic silhouette has never wavered.
