Jennifer Lawrence always knew she'd be famous. She grew up in Louisville, Kentucky playing field hockey and softball in addition to modeling on the side. After a visit to New York with her mom, a talent agent sees her during a photo shoot, and J-Law's acting career gets kicked into high gear. First came roles on Monk and Medium, then a sitcom. Jennifer then branches out into movies with roles in some indie dramas. At 20, she lands her first Oscar nomination for Winter's Bone, wins the award two years later for Silver Linings Playbook and is the star of one of the biggest franchises of all time - The Hunger Games. Her modeling skills came in handy as she starts rocking the red carpet in designer gowns by Oscar de la Renta , Calvin Klein and her favorite, Christian Dior. She went from Kentucky teen to Oscar-winning starlet in by the time most actresses are just getting started. Jennifer Lawrence is sassy, straight-forward and oh-so stylish.

Emma Watson grew up in the public eye. At age 10 she bagged the much-coveted role of Hermione Granger in the first Harry Potter movie and suddenly she was an international star. Not a style star though. But to be fair, how many of us really knew how to dress when we were 'tweens. The Harry Potter series becomes a billion-dollar franchise and Emma becomes a household name. Thanks to hours in the wardrobe and makeup trailers she starts to earn style points and by the time she puts Hermione Granger to rest, Emma is a full-fledged fashionista. Her post-Potter career is filled with thoughtful indie flicks, but more impressive is the fact that on the red carpet she barely has a fashion misstep (even with her love of strappy heels.) Whether she's championing little-known designers or rocking Burberry, McQueen or Marchesa, her transformation from awkward 'tween to fash queen is nothing short of magical.

Sienna Miller seems to garner more headlines from her parade of celebrity boyfriends than her stellar acting roles. She was born in New York in 1981.
