Mila Kunis' Style Evolution
Although it may appear that Mila Kunis strutted into the Hollywood big league with her starring turn in Black Swan, the truth is that she was positively a Tinseltown veteran by then (heck, she dated Macauley Culkin for eight years!) As the sultry actress hits the promo trail for new film Friends With Benefits, co-starring Justin Timberlake, we take a look at her fashion journey
Rex FeaturesMila Kunis has been playing the fame game for ages – she landed the role of Jackie Burkhart in smash-hit sitcom That 70s Show at the tender age of 14, in 1998, after lying to producers about her age. Here, on an unnoted red carpet in 2000, she’s already spent two years at the top of her game and has this posing thing down pat. Now, to top it all, she’s also got us feeling nostalgic for printed boho slip dresses and chokers.

PA PhotosMila turns out to support co-star Ashton Kutcher at the premiere of his film Just Married the following year in unhemmed jeans and a flat cap. We like to think that she’s worn such a low-key outfit so as not to steal the spotlight – not just because she’s so at home on the red carpet by this point that she’s forgotten to make an effort.

PA PhotosCome 2006, Mila kicks things into a new style gear and the beginnings of her signature look begin to emerge – smoky eye, smoking dress, glossy hair, killer heels. Ironic, then, that this look marks the end of an era: the finale party for That 70s Show.

Rex FeaturesWe get the feeling that Mila’s wearing this short, sequinned number to VH1’s 2008 Rock Honors - The Who party so that she’s free to do some dancing – which just makes us love her even more. Even though she’s started experimenting with different dress shapes and textures, she totally has a handle on what works for her now.
