Christina Applegate turns 50 and still looks amazing – her best fashion moments

25 November 2021

Ever since her breakout role as Kelly Bundy on classic sitcom Married… With Children, Christina Applegate has gone from strength to strength in the style stakes.

The much-loved star – who turns 50 on 25 November – is praised for her fabulous style, with so many red carpet moments on the back of hit sitcoms such as Jesse, comedy film Anchorman and Netflix’s dark tragicomedy series Dead to Me.

Fans are disappointed there won’t be another season after the Emmy-winning actor revealed she has multiple sclerosis, the latest health challenge for the breast cancer survivor.

As she celebrates her milestone birthday, here we look back at her best red carpet moments…
