Natasha Lyonne has been making waves since she was a child actress. She first got her big break when she was cast of “Pee-wee’s Playhouse” and then went on to star as Meryl Streep’s niece in the dramedy “Heartburn.” Nowadays, her fans know her for starring in “Orange Is the New Black,” “Russian Doll” and “Poker Face.”

In the late ‘90s, Lyonne became a fixture on Hollywood event red carpets, from movie premieres to galas. Throughout the decades, her style has evolved from that of a young Hollywood starlet to that of an established actress with a clear penchant for edgy all-black ensembles. Outside of stage, television and film, she’s also starred in ad campaigns for Old Navy, COS and Moose Knuckles.

Here, WWD takes a closer look at Lyonne’s style through the years.
