Banks’ style could be classified as timeless and fashionable. From tailored suits and sequined jumpsuits to slouchy T-shirts and printed separates, she always remains true to herself with a distinct aesthetic.

Most of the director’s red carpet moments incorporate a glimmering or floral effect that brings creativity and glitz to the carpet. In 2016, “The Hunger Games” star looked dazzling as she struck a pose at the “Beast of No Nation” premiere. Banks looked stunning in a caped floral-print Elie Saab design that she styled with a metallic tube clutch and Louboutin T-strap sandals. In 2016, she was the belle of the ball as she attended Vanity Fair’s Oscar party in an embellished cape-bearing ivory gown from Ralph & Russo. That same year she arrived at the March of Dimes event in a feminine floral wrap dress and shimmering pale pink sandals.
