Speaking exclusively with PEOPLE at the 2024 InStyle Imagemaker Awards, the actress, 44, opened up about her daughterEverly’s unique sense of style — and how the 11-year-old once went all in a favorite color.

“She wore all purple for an entire year, and I just let her,” Dewan recalls, before revealing that she has since moved on to a new trend.

“Now she’s really into … what does she call it? Softie schoolgirl? It’s a ‘thing,' " theRookiestar continues. “She likes that sort of preppy, but with a dash of Blackpink, if that makes sense. She’s very into that stuff.”

Dewan says Everly — whom she shares with ex-husbandChanning Tatum— is “turning into a fashionista.”

“She’s always marching to the beat of her own drum,” she adds.

“Rhiannon is still so young that she wears whatever I want her to wear, which is great,” theStep Upalum explains. “She is kind of my little doll right now and she’s so cute. She’s the cutest little doll.”

As Rhiannon grows up, she will likely be able to tap her older sister for style advice, as Dewan says Everly has already forged a sweet bond with her new sibling.

The anime-style drawing depicts a girl sporting long blue hair — and a purple sweater, of course. TheMagic Mikestar wrote over the photo, “My daughter is getting sick wit it!! I can’t believe she is this good this young.”

Earlier last year, Everly had a chance to experiment with her look when shewalked the red carpet alongside her dadat the New York City premiere ofDemon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba - To the Hashira Trainingon Feb. 10. In the spirit of the movie, Tatum wore a green-and-black checked sweatshirt just like lead character Tanjiro Kamado, and Everly donned a purple-dyed wig like Shinobu Kocho.

The father-daughter duo also had a little dress-up fun last May when theyattended a Renaissance Fairtogether.

“We love ourselves a renaissance fair. She said she wanted her character to be pirate assassin,” Tatum wrote of Everly’s look for the outing in an Instagram post at the time.

“Full disclosure she has a hidden dagger in a hidden dress pocket,” the star added. “She felt so cool. lol.”
