BORN IN ATLANTA but raised in Los Angeles, where she currently lives, Chloë Grace Moretz, who turns 16 next month, started acting a decade ago. She has several films coming out this year, including “Movie 43” this month, “Kick-Ass 2” in June and “Carrie” in October. Ms. Moretz was in Paris last week during the spring 2013 couture shows.

MONDAY, JAN. 21

I was staying at the Plaza Athénée — it’s just gorgeous. After walking around a lot the last few days, I had a lazy morning and wore just black yoga pants and a white T-shirt, kind of slouchy. Finally, I did get dressed for eggs Benedict downstairs and put on black fitted jeans from Aéropostale (I’m a brand ambassador there) that I rolled up to the ankles and a white, black and blue button-down shirt from Topshop. My shoes were black Burberry wedges with gripping soles that were pretty much made for the snow.

I went back upstairs around noon, and did the whole hair and makeup thing to go to the Dior couture show. It’s my first couture show and I’m wearing the brand new pre-fall collection, but I didn’t want to go too old. I always try to think age-appropriate and all that, and I had just dyed my blond hair a darker color, which changes how you look in things, for the fun of it. I wore this navy zip-coat that had a rocker feel and an amazing high-waisted skirt: It had gathered fabric, but didn’t make you look pudgy. And I had on these pointy heels.

With my stylist, we’ll look at runway collections for events — I always have my eye on Style.com — and we usually start planning outfits a couple months in advance. So for “Kick-Ass,” we’ll start in April, because sometimes you’ll have press days where you’re changing six times a day. For the “Movie 43” premiere in L.A. this week, we’ve had a Dolce & Gabbana black tuxedo jacket and high-waisted pants with a white shirt picked out weeks ago. And it’s just madness in L.A. between the Globes and the Oscars. I’ll be going to a couple events, because that’s part of the job, but I don’t really love after-parties. I’m 15; there’s not a lot to do.

If I’m going to be on the red carpet, though, I tend to go for it. Why not? It’s about being glam and all that. In my daily clothes, I’ll mix it up more. It might be tomboy or kind of rugged, but I’ll always have one piece that looks put together. I noticed in Paris pieces are more structured and polished. It’s completely different from L.A. where the look is like you just rolled out of bed, which I don’t love. But British fashion is my favorite, not the really put together Brit, but more the broken-down kind of look: Alexa Chung mixed with Grace Kelly. I like to go back and look at the classics too. I’m in love with the ’40s and the ’60s, and I even love the ’70s and ’90s, but I could probably skip the ’80s.

Anyway, of course, the minute I left the Dior show, I kicked off my heels and put on these Prada brogues to hang out in. They were black and they weren’t too boyish and had a funky wide bottom. And they were comfortable enough that I kept them on into dinner.
