Miku Martineau: A Gen Z Style Star in the Making

The Japanese-Canadian actress may be one to watch for her acting, but her growing red carpet repertoire proves she’s one to watch for style, too.

By

For a generation raised in the spotlight of social media, being a star today means building an identity that extends beyond the screen—and for some young talents, that identity is taking shape through both their work and their personal style. Japanese-Canadian actress Miku Martineau is doing just that, steadily building her résumé one role at a time while developing a red carpet presence that feels distinctly her own.

A New Name to Watch

Martineau started her career as a voice actress before making her film debut in the American action thriller Kate (2021). She later landed a breakout role in Netflix’s Canadian teen murder mystery Bet (2025), where Martineau played the skilled gambler Yumeko. The series proved to be another step forward, with its second season already wrapped.

Most recently, she will be part of Crew Girl, a new series premiering later this month, adding another Netflix title to her growing résumé.

Yet it’s not just her growing list of credits that makes Martineau one to watch. Her red carpet appearances are beginning to reveal a style identity of their own.

A Budding Style Star

Away from the characters she plays on screen, Martineau’s red carpet wardrobe reveals a more polished side of her style. At the Bet premiere, she wore a sultry red Christopher Paunil gown, featuring a high slit and deep V-neck, adorned with floral motifs. For the Canadian Screen Awards, she opted for a soft butter-yellow gown with elegant draping that accentuated her silhouette.

At the Crew Girl premiere, her most recent appearance, she wore a glittering halter gown, punctuated with a white rose. Taken together, the looks point to a fashion sensibility that feels increasingly assured—romantic details, polished silhouettes, and just enough glamour to keep each appearance memorable.

With every new role comes another opportunity for Martineau to step into the spotlight—and, increasingly, another memorable look to match. Her red carpet wardrobe may still be evolving, but there’s already a clear sense of polish and confidence emerging. As her career continues to unfold, so too does her style, making Miku Martineau a Gen Z name worth keeping an eye on both on-screen and off.
