You’ve probably heard about method acting—a technique where actors strive to fully transform into their character, but how about method dressing? This emerging craze is taking Hollywood by storm and we’ve seen many actors dress in character on the red carpet.

Jenna Ortega

If we had to pick a single actress who put “method dressing” on the map, it would definitely be Jenna Ortega. She’s been serving soft goth vibes ever since starring in the Netflix smash hit series Wednesday, and it’s hard to tell where the character ends and Ortega begins.

Halle Bailey

Halle Bailey’s promo tour for The Little Mermaid is a true fashion delight, and she’s serving major mermaidcore vibes with her stunning outfits that would certainly get Ariel’s seal of approval.

Ryan Gosling & Margot Robbie

Barbie is one of the most anticipated films of 2023, and Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie set expectations high for its press tour with their full Barbiecore outfits at the CinemaCon.

Blake Lively

Method dressing may seem like a new craze because everyone’s doing it all of a sudden, but it’s been around for quite some time. Blake Lively served method dressing gold by wearing numerous stylish tailored suits while promoting her 2018 film A Simple Favor.
