Most 19-year-olds are more concerned with class schedules than couture. But Hailee Steinfeld isn't your average teen.

After her breakout role and subsequent Oscar nom for 2010's True Grit, Steinfeld followed up her big screen debut with turns in cult classics like Romeo & Juliet and Pitch Perfect 2. Then this summer, she seamlessly transitioned into pop star territory with her first album, Haiz, gifting us with the delightful ear worm that is "Love Myself." And did we mention she's also a founding member of Taylor Swift's squad?

Next up, she's turning back the clock only slightly to portray a hoodie-wearing high school student in the coming-of-age dramedy, TheEdge of Seventeen. While her character struggles with the cringeworthy ups and downs of adolescence in the film, in real life, it seems that Steinfeld somehow managed to skip over all of those awkward years—at least in the style department.

Need proof? Keep scrolling to see the star put the Steinfeld spin on everything from Michael Kors to Monse. And check out The Edge of Seventeen in theaters Nov. 18.

Stella McCartney, 2015

She may have launched a million squad goals hanging with Gigi, Karlie, and Taylor at the MTV VMAs, but we think her minimalist Stella McCartney jumpsuit is pretty epic all on its own. "I'm always looking to try something new," she said. "I loved it, so I went with it." A Jennifer Fisher choker and Jill Milan clutch also shine bright.

Prabal Gurung, 2014

It took a little over a month for Prabal Gurung to create the graphic silk ball gown Steinfeld wore to the Met Gala, and the actress was involved from the first sketch to the final fitting. "She is a longtime friend, so we work really well together," says the designer.
