From WWF to D&G: 37 photos that capture Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's style journey

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is not just a heavyweight in the World Wrestling Federation ring.

The former wrestler turned Hollywood star is also something of a hard hitter when it comes to the red carpet.

The American-Canadian actor, known for roles in Moana, The Scorpion King and the Fast & Furious franchise, certainly knows his way around a statement look.

Johnson, who made the switch from the wrestling ring to the film industry with a role in 2001's The Mummy Returns, has been turning heads since his time as a record-breaking WWF world champion.

With a penchant for printed shirts, the star soon developed an eye for custom tailoring, before expanding his repertoire into more avant-garde silhouettes and prints in recent years.

Here, we offer a red-carpet retrospective to see how Johnson's style has evolved throughout his multi-layered career.

Scroll through the gallery above to see more images of The Rock through the years.
