The Fashion Transformation of Kiernan Shipka
1/20All the while winning over fans in her role on Mad Men, [Kiernan Shipka](http://www.teenvogue.com/about/kiernan-shipka] was also slowly and steadily perfecting her scene-stealing sense of style. Between her ever-chic hairstyles, figure-flattering frocks and statement-making heels, it should come as no surprise that the starlet has rarely missed a beat on the red carpet. The Teen Vogue favorite (better known as Sally Draper) has always managed to complement her California cool aesthetic with a hint of high-fashion edge, achieving sartorial icon status before she was even a teenager. How many 15-year-olds can say that?
