Following a supporting role on the HBO mockumentary sitcom The Comeback (2005), she gained her first co-starring roles in the romantic comedies The Heartbreak Kid (2007) and 27 Dresses (2008). Akerman's big screen breakthrough came in the 2009 superhero film Watchmen as Silk Spectre II, for which she earned a Saturn Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. She had supporting and starring roles in the box office hits The Proposal (2009), Couples Retreat (2009), Rock of Ages (2012), and Rampage (2018). Her other works include the critically acclaimed films I'll See You in My Dreams (2015), The Final Girls (2015), and To the Stars (2019).

She was also part of the main cast on the Adult Swim comedy series Childrens Hospital from 2010 to 2016, and the Showtime drama series Billions from 2016 to 2019. Apart from acting and modelling, Akerman had a brief music career in the early 2000s as the lead vocalist for alternative rock band the Petalstones, which released its debut studio album in 2005. She subsequently left the project to focus on her acting career. She has been married twice, first from 2007 to 2014 to Petalstones drummer Roberto Zincone, with whom she has a son, and, since 2018, to English actor Jack Donnelly.
