Megan Fox's Oscars after-party dress has *the* most daring neckline
Megan Fox's style has changed a LOT over the years. And it's not totally surprising given she first entered the media spotlight almost 20 years ago. Yep, we challenge anyone to keep their early 2000s trend-pieces in high rotation for two decades (unless you're part of the Y2K revival, that is). So, with a tonne of events under her belt, we are now blessed with one helluva fashion evolution. Strap yourselves in, gang, because we're about to take a look back through the archives.
From Megan's very first red carpet looks, where low-rise shorts and fluoro mini dresses reigned supreme, to her sleeker fitted midis and elegant gowns in the mid-noughties, she's one style chameleon. More recently, the actor's started experimenting with bold details including cutouts, sheer panels and, of course, who could forget that iconic naked dress?
It's safe to say that the last few months alone have been a wild ride in Meghan's wardrobe, featuring outfits like her "BDSM Spice" getup, a homage to Euphoria and a mini dress with the word 'SEX' plastered across the front. With that in mind, you can only imagine what you get when you go back twenty years. Well, don't worry about imagining it, because we've done all the research for you.
Scroll through to see Megan's style journey from 2003 to present.
