Jennifer Coolidge's Style Evolution, From Budding Comedy Actor To 'White Lotus' Star
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Jennifer Coolidge recently captivated audiences with her “La Dolce Vita” style in the latest season of HBO’s “The White Lotus.” But even when she’s not playing lovelorn heiress Tanya on the hit series, the actor has a sartorial personality of her own.
From little black dresses to sweeping gowns, Coolidge has long brought a sense of glam and fun to the red carpet and other locations. HuffPost has rounded up 57 photos of her style evolution, from early 2000s character actor to Emmy-winning comedy and drama star.
