We all know Eiza González—actress in action films like Bloodshot and Ambulance. But did you know, long before she got in the passenger seat in Baby Driver, she was making a name for herself in Mexico, first as a teen star in telenovelas like Floricienta and Lola, érase una vez? For seven years, González starred in popular Mexican sitcoms, while also launching her singing career. Her big break in America came in 2013, when she was cast in her first English-speaking part in From Dusk till Dawn: The Series, taking over the role originated by Salma Hayek in the 1996 film. From there, the projects kept coming in, and González quickly became an action darling. Her notoriety in the US has allowed her to take on many red carpets over the past decade or so, and it’s been interesting to see how González has brought her Latin American flare to the US fashion scene. She has really embraced American designers over the years, opting to wear LaQuan Smith, Prabal Gurung, and Michael Kors, though she loves to dip her two into the European brands and wear Chanel, Prada, and Burberry as well. Now, the actress is promoting not one, but two new projects—her new Netflix show, 3 Body Problem, and the WWII action movie, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare—so get ready for a whole lot more González in your lives. In the meantime, let’s take a look back at her best red carpet moments as we wait to see what she wears next.
