1979

While Cattrall is known for her understated beauty, the late 1970s were all about going glam—and the starlet didn't miss the memo. Here, her voluminous ponytail and sultry makeup serve as a preview of the beauty trends to come.
1984

The actress had a breakout role as cadet Karen Thompson in Police Academy in 1984. These brow-grazing, wispy bangs added to her allure.
1987

Margot Robbie may have been the latest actress to play a life-sized doll—but she wasn't the first. In the late '80s, Cattrall wowed audiences with her portrayal of a magical model in Mannequin. With voluminous blonde hair, red lips, and on-point eye makeup, you could say that she was all dolled up.
1992

For her role as Valeris in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, the British and Canadian actress returned to her roots—literally—à la dark brown hair color. However, for the Cable Ace Awards, she went less "trekkie" and more retro with a dark coif and red lips reminiscent of Ava Gardner.
2005

The Ice Princess star reached for apricot accents to get her natural-looking flush.

At the Tribeca Film Festival, the Porky's cast member looked effortless. Her minimal makeup and mussy updo with blonde bangs felt fresh and stylish.
2022

Cattrall channeled Samantha Jones's vibes when she stepped out at Peacock's Queer As Folk World Premiere event in this hot pink number complete with feathers. She looked fabulous.

2025

At Paris Fashion Week, the style icon sat front row at Balmain, where she dazzled in a velvet snow leopard-print minidress. To balance out the high-fashion moment, she opted for collarbone-grazing hair with easy breezy waves.
