(Photo by Ron Galella/Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) I could have been clutching my pearls about sheers back in 1996! Who knew! In May 1996 I was getting ready for finals in my freshman year of college. I didn't have TIME for sheers. I wish Helen hadn't, either. Also, the button-down shirt that basically comes down to her knees is like a nightshirt from the Sexy Jacob Marley collection. ## Bill Paxton and Louise Newbury ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/GettyImages-105860555-1589170900.jpg) Bill Paxton and Louise Newbury during "Twister" Los Angeles Premiere at Mann Village Theatre in Westwood, California, United States. (Photo by Ron Galella/Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) Bill and Louise were married right up until his untimely death three years ago. Aw. I just brought down the mood. He looks very folksy-cute, like he got dressed for a night out in the big city but kinda misses his porch swing. ## Kevin Bacon ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/GettyImages-81966536-1589170837.jpg) Kevin Bacon (Photo by Ron Galella/Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) I believe Kevin Bacon still looks exactly like this. ## Anne Ramsay ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/GettyImages-155525086-1589170933.jpg) Actress Anne Ramsay attends the Twister Westwood Premiere on May 8, 1996 at Mann Village Theatre in Westwood, California. (Photo by Ron Galella, Ltd./Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) Anne was there presumably to support her *Mad About You* colleague. (Paul Reiser came too, but I didn't snag any pictures. As Jess would say, he looked like Paul Reiser.) I do think we should all contemplate whether the string around her skirt is part of the shirt, or just something she did on her own to tie it all together in a very literal way. ## Stephen Dorff ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/GettyImages-105857006-1589170893.jpg) Stephen Dorff during "Twister" Los Angeles Premiere at Mann Village Theatre in Westwood, California, United States. (Photo by Ron Galella/Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) This feels like a very David Beckham hair moment. ## Keanu Reeves ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/GettyImages-104618133-1589170858.jpg) Keanu Reeves during "Twister" Los Angeles Premiere at Mann Village Theatre in Westwood, California, United States. (Photo by Ron Galella/Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) Keanu just seems happy for everyone's success. ## "Date and Peri Gilpin" ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/GettyImages-141318800-1589170926.jpg) date and Peri Gilpin at the World Premiere of 'Twister', Mann Village Theater, Westwood. (Photo by Ron Galella/Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) I guess the captioner listed them in order of appearance. I would have led with Peri Gilpin. ALWAYS lead with Peri Gilpin. That's a good motto. ## Kylie Travis ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/GettyImages-162132591-1589170953.jpg) WESTWOOD,CA - MAY 8: Actress Kylie Travis attends the "Twister" Westwood Premiere on May 8, 1996 at Mann Village Theatre in Westwood, California. (Photo by Ron Galella, Ltd/Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) YES. Kylie here was on *Models, Inc*. She was the bitch whom they gave the secret heart of gold, which I've decided is the meaning behind her outfit. The bummer for Kylie Travis is that if you try and Google her, you get a LOT of news about Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott. ## Linda Thompson ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/GettyImages-79726508-1589170829.jpg) Linda Thompson and her sons (Photo by Ron Galella/Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) Linda is here with her sons, and if you want to feel old, one of them -- the one on the right, I believe, as he is younger - is Brody Jenner. ## Shemar Moore and Lela Rochon ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/GettyImages-84398778-1589170844.jpg) WESTWOOD,CA - MAY 8: Actor Shemar Moore and Actress Lela Rochon attend the "Twister" Westwood Premiere on May 8, 1996 at Mann Village Theatre in Westwood, California. (Photo by Ron Galella, Ltd/Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) That is a large, large suit, Shemar. I guess it affords you plenty of room to be both young and restless. Lela, meanwhile, needed to check her shirt angles in the mirror before hitting the carpet. ## Mick Fleetwood and Stevie Nicks ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/GettyImages-104618017-1589170851.jpg) Mick Fleetwood and Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac during "Twister" Los Angeles Premiere at Mann Village Theatre in Westwood, California, United States. (Photo by Ron Galella/Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) Mick's got a lot of matching velvet going on here. Stevie looks like Stevie. Which is to say, also like a cross between Carrie Fisher and Bonnie Hunt. ## Rob Lowe and Sheryl Berkoff ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/GettyImages-104835967-1589170867.jpg) Rob Lowe during "Twister" Los Angeles Premiere at Mann Village Theatre in Westwood, California, United States. (Photo by SGranitz/WireImage) Rob Lowe ALSO looks exactly like this now. Whoever is tweaking his face -- he HAS to be getting stuff finessed; just LOOK at him now -- is doing a damn fine job. ## Wesley Snipes ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/GettyImages-104835974-1589170875.jpg) Wesley Snipes during "Twister" Los Angeles Premiere at Mann Village Theatre in Westwood, California, United States. (Photo by SGranitz/WireImage) I am not sure what Wesley looks like now, but I like to imagine that he and Michael Sheen call each other once a week to say, "There is only ONE Wes(t)ley Snipes." ## Amy Brenneman ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/GettyImages-105861813-1589170909.jpg) Amy Brenneman during "Twister" Los Angeles Premiere at Mann Village Theatre in Westwood, California, United States. (Photo by Ron Galella/Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) Ooh, I get to judge Amy before there was a *Judging Amy*. I judge that drop-waisted jumpsuit(?) with a waist-chain to be EVER SO 1996 -- and yet in a way where I recognize it's from Yesteryear but was not anything I ever owned. ## Eddie Van Halen ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/GettyImages-115362192-1589170918.jpg) Eddie Van Halen during "Twister" Los Angeles Premiere at Mann Village Theatre in Westwood, California, United States. (Photo by Jim Smeal/Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) Nice of you to dress up, Ed. ## Jon Peters and Mindy Williamson ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/GettyImages-156127840-1589170946.jpg) Producer Jon Peters and wife Mindy Williamson attend the world premiere of 'Twister' on May 8, 1996 at Mann Village Theater in Westwood, California. (Photo by Ron Galella, Ltd./Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) Jon Peters is the guy Pamela Anderson married for 12 days recently, and who has supposedly been in love with her since they dated first in 1989 and who - when they married - ditched a lookalike fiance who was moving in with him. Clearly, he has a type. ([Page Six's details on the story are quite something](https://pagesix.com/2020/02/10/jon-peters-says-marriage-to-pamela-anderson-went-bust-after-he-paid-debts/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).) ## Twister poster ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/51R2rXcqFpL._AC_-1589172196.jpg) "Guys. Listen. People want Cary Elwes looking at them like they're Buttercup, and Helen Hunt doing that pursed-lip half-smile where you can tell she's thinking that you're a goddamn idiot. But Paxton... how do we sell Paxton? Can we just put most of his face on a picture of Christian Slater and hope people get confused?"
