Dakota Fanning

Dakota is nine here, and she is holding the Emmy she won as a cast member of Taken, winner of which Best Miniseries or Movie. She is perfect and adorable.

Jennifer Aniston

Even for the aughts, which were generally all over the place, this seems almost boldly casual for the Emmys.

Mary Carey

I remember a time when I thought the phrase "California Gubernatorial Candidate Mary Carey" was the weirdest thing that would happen in politics.

Kim Cattrall

She looks gorgeous.

55TH ANNUAL EMMY AWARDS, LOS ANGELES, AMERICA - 21 SEP 2003

And apparently, I accidentally downloaded two pictures, so here's one without brassy lighting.

Parminder Nagra

This is so lovely. I miss her. How about we get a sequel to Bend It Like Beckham with Jess as a soccer star who's transitioning into coaching. We can name it after a female star. Head It Like Horan. Whip It Like Wambach. Kick It Like Kerr. Boot It Like Beerensteyn. Slam It Like Smith. Mash It Like Marta. Or Morgan. I could do this all day. I WON'T. Also, I'm sure I would moan and groan about that if it actually happened, but today I'm into it.

Cloris Leachman

This is giving Queen Camilla.

Helen Mirren

Look at THIS dish.

Joan and Melissa Rivers

Melissa's shows are killing me -- they are such artifacts of this era and I do not like them, Sam I Am -- but Joan looks glorious.

Lena OIin and Jennifer Garner

Do we think they coordinated on purpose? They look like bridesmaids who were encouraged to wear long cream satin dresses but were otherwise given free rein.

They were SUCH great casting as mother-and-daughter, though. I started an Alias rewatch in Canada and got partway into season two and then we moved. I should pick that up again. Or, start over again. That Alias pilot is phenomenal.

Sarah Jessica Parker

And SJP can be the bride. (She looks really nice.)

Elisha Cuthbert

Ah, yes, Kim Bauer. I vaguely remember her having questionable fashion sense, but this is fine.

Courtney Thorne-Smith

This really should have just kept going as it began.

Kristin Davis

That rich purple is glorious on her.

Debra Messing

Debra won this year for Will & Grace. This is a nice dress, but it's always so distracting when a celeb picks ones that showcases their tan lines. A necklace might have helped that?

Alicia Silverstone

This is NOT pants, but it wants me to think it is.

Matt LeBlanc and Melissa McKnight

She looks DISHY. They were together from the late 90s until 2006; there was some hinkiness, I think, in the 2004-2006 area because he started filming Joey and at some point struck up a relationship with his co-star Andrea Anders (you may know her as Michelle Lasso). They went public the same year he divorced Melissa. Oh, JOEY.

David Schwimmer

Did we know that Schwim once dated Natalie Imbruglia (whom this is not)? Did we also know that he joined the board of directors of the Rape Treatment Center in Santa Monica in 2001, and may still be active there? Go Schwimmer!

Courtney Cox

I can't decide whether or not I like this. I might be landing on liking the idea but thinking the black fabric looks a little cheap.

Stockard Channing

Rizzo can do no wrong.

Megan Mullally

She lost to Doris Roberts in her category. She also lost to herself in this outfit.

Juliette Lewis

She could probably wear that today and make it work.

Janel Moloney

This outfit is a total mess, so let's instead discuss whether we think Donna from Suits was named after Donna from The West Wing.

Allison Janney

A dish for life.

Christina Applegate

It's very Aughts to match undereye powder to your dress.

Graham Norton

Oh Graham, that's a lot of lace detail. Do I spy it in a sheer shirt, too?
