Girly Glam

At the 18th Annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards, Wallis was adorable in a pink A-line dress — a fave silhouette for the little fashionista.

Laced-Up

The young actress completed this fab fuchsia ensemble with a sparkly matching doggie purse designed by Poochie & Co. at the 24th Annual Producers Guild Awards.

Prima Ballerina

At the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, Quvenzhane Wallis wore this ballet-pink, satin sash style with such grace and poise.

Shining Star

How elegant is she? The royal purple piece she wore to the 85th Academy Awards nominations luncheon came complete with a jeweled bib and shimmering finish.

Star Light, Star Bright

At the Variety Studio Awards, Quvenzhane arrived stylishly prepared in yet another purple jeweled stunner, with metallic silver ballet flats to complement her ballerina tutu-style dress.

Shimmery Chic

Wallis is no wallflower — if it’s shiny and sparkly, she’s sporting it. At the BAMCinemaFest screening of her feature film Beasts of the Southern Wild, the actress donned a purple paillette dress, silver bangles and ballet flats.

Sea of Aqua

This bright young thing broke out of her typical purple and pink palettes for a sea of aqua during a premiere in her Louisiana hometown.

Teal Time

Quvenzhane Wallis matches another fierce frock with her pup purse and a little hair accessory top it off.

Gorgeous Green

At the 2013 National Board of Review Awards Gala the starlet was right on trend, working the season’s hottest hue: emerald, which she adorably accessorized with a black version of her dog satchel, sparkling tights and Mary Jane flats.

Little Black Dress

Wallis proves even a 9-year-old can be chic in the right LBD. The satin, drop-waist number she sported to the Governors Awards may land her on our next Best Dressed list!

Prim & Pretty

Another lovely LBD moment finds the pint-sized diva in a little bolero to polish up the look.

Sequin Splendor

This sparkling style at the 16th Annual Hollywood Film Awards gala had a lot of personality, much like the little diva herself.

Wild Thing

Our favorite look to date was when the starlet wowed us in a leopard dress and identical flats at the 22nd Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards. ESSENCE Approved!

Stylish Stripes

Even Wallis needs a break from all of the red carpet glamour. At the 2013 Film Independent Filmmaker Grant and Spirit Awards, she kept it casual in a striped sweater dress (also trending!) with tights and matching boots.

Plum Perfection

Dabbling on the funkier side of fashion, Quvenzhane Wallis arrives at the 38th Annual Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards in a purple velvet dress and cool cowboy boots.

Casual Cool

Girls just wanna have fun! And what could be more fun than purple ruffles and matching leggings at the London Film Festival?
