Zooey Deschanel turned 32 years old on Tuesday.

The New Girl actress is known for playing quirky characters in offbeat movies like 500 Days of Summer and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. She's also had roles in the comedic films Yes Man, Our Idiot Brother, and Your Highness.

This will be Deschanel's first birthday as a single lady in quite a while. She filed for divorce from Death Cab for Cutie singer Ben Gibbard in December 2011. They got married in 2009.

In 2011, she moved to the small screen, and currently plays an eccentric teacher living with three male roomates on Fox's The New Girl.

Deschanel has made waves for her performances -- and her wardrobe. She's recognized for her feminine and quirky style.

Here are some of her more whimsical red carpet looks.
