She was named as a WAMPAS Baby Star in 1922 in recognition of her growing popularity. Her first major success was the 1923 film Flaming Youth. Moore's vivacious flapper caused a sensation and made her one of the most talked about actresses of her day. Moore and Louise Brooks were seen as the people who epitomized the young adult society of their day, and Moore's career grew over the next few years. As she continued to play similar characters in successful films such as Flirting With Love and The Perfect Flapper, Moore's bobbed hairstyle was widely copied throughout the world.

By the late 1920s she had progressed to more important roles in films such as So Big (1925) and was also well received in light comedies.

With the advent of talking pictures in 1929, Moore took a hiatus from acting. During this interim, Moore was briefly married to a prominent Los Angeles-based stockbroker, one of her four husbands. She and her then-husband lived at that time in a lavish home in Bel Air, where they hosted parties for and were supporters of the U.S. Olympic Team, especially the Yachting team, during the 1932 Los Angeles Summer Games. In 1933, Moore, by then divorced, returned to work in Hollywood. She appeared in three films. None of these were successful, and Moore retired.

In her later years she would frequently attend film festivals, and was a popular interview subject, always willing to discuss her Hollywood career. She was a participant in the 1980 documentary series Hollywood providing her recollections of Hollywood's silent film era.

She was the author of two books, the autobiography Silent Star and How Women Can Make Money in the Stock Market, a subject she had proved herself well qualified to discuss. At the height of her fame, Moore was earning $12,500 per week. She was recognized as an astute investor, and through her investments remained wealthy for the rest of her life.

In 1928, Moore, with the help of her father, constructed an 8-foot tall miniature "fairy castle" which toured the United States. The interior of the The Colleen Moore Dollhouse is a classic example of the Art Deco Style, complete with miniature bear skin rugs and streamlined furniture and art. Moore's dollhouse has been housed as an exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois since the early 1950s, where, according to the museum it is seen by 1.5 million people each year.
