Even a decade after her breakout role in American Beauty, it's difficult not to associate Mena Suvari with the flutter of rose petals.

She's worn close crops, blunt bangs, sculpted avant-garde updos—on- and off-screen, we can't wait to see what's next!

As a student at L.A.'s Providence High School, Suvari sported retro-thin brows and deep wine lipstick.
