Then: Newbie actor Aaron Paul was just 22 and quite fashionably confused when he walked the red carpet at the premiere of Orange County in January 2002. Up to that point, his roles included "Frat Boy #2" on Melrose Place and two episodes of Judging Amy. Hey, you've gotta start somewhere! The future star of Breaking Bad sported a puffer vest (didn't everyone?!), camouflage pants, a long scarf, checkered sneakers, and... even more. The colorful outfit had to have inspired some of Justin Bieber's most ridiculous ensembles a decade later.

Now: A three-time Emmy winner for his portrayal of Jesse Pinkman, Paul seems to have figured out his red carpet style. As he turns 36 on Aug. 27, the actor regularly appears on lists of best dressed men. He's one dapper b--ch!
