The Evolution of Amanda Seyfried

A child model, Amanda Seyfried got her big break in her first film appearance, as the dimwitted but kind-hearted Karen Smith. Since then, she’s appeared on five seasons of HBO’s hit drama Big Love and has seen major success with her films like Mamma Mia, Jennifer’s Body and Letters to Juliet. She also snagged the coveted role of Little Red Riding Hood in the film of the same name, directed by Catherine Hardwick (director of Twilight).

Amanda’s come a long way, from the green young actress who sported jeans and tees to premieres to a fashion icon in the making. Here is her evolution.

Little Red Riding Hood opens nationwide today.
