Cate Blanchett

Heather posted this in the opening post of the day, and we actually disagree on this one; I think it's pretty great. (Don't worry, we'll wrestle over it later.)

Debra Messing

This is super on her.

Ellen Pompeo

This needs a hoik, but is also basically great on her. (She also looks dreamy in this darker hair, although it's not very Meredith Grey.)

Claudia Schiffer

I suspect this is cooler in person.

Jennifer Lopez

This picture is just VERY cute. (The dress is good, too.)

Brooke Shields

Welcome to Brooke's fifth wedding!

Jennifer Hudson

Welcome to Jennifer's third wedding! (This was the year she won the Oscar.)

Kate Bosworth

This is VERY shiny.

Camilla Belle in Jean Paul Gaultier

Wow, I had forgotten about this dress, and it is a real stunner. It's GORGEOUS.

Angie Harmon

And this is really fun and fab.

Claire Danes

'WHAT IF my dress VAGUELY looks like I got stabbed, but it's FABULOUS?"

Jessica Simpson (in Cavalli) and Ken Paves

I actually think this dress on J. Simp is great, but her spray tan (and a bit of its fit) is distracting. (Her other date was John Mayer, but I pulled the snap where we could actually see the whole frock.)

Liv Tyler

Sure! This is pretty.

Christy Turlington and Edward Burns

"Oh, I forgot they dated," I thought. And then I remembered that they are in fact currently married. Did you know that her sister is also married to his brother? Fun fact! Anyway: This color is great.

Elizabeth Banks

This feels VERY on theme. 2007 feels like a time period where half the guests went thematic and the other half did not, as the see-saw starts teetered over to the theme side.

Kirsten Dunst and Johnny Borrell

I remember being CONFUSED by this at the time and indeed, I still think it's a bit much of a muchness -- although I love her for going for it. Remember when they dated? I did not. (He was the front man for the band Razorlight. I'm glad Kiki ended up with Landry.)

Emily Watson

This is honestly very kicky and cute.

Kerry Washington

This is reasonable but do we think it needs more JEWELS!?

Chloe Sevigny

Somewhere in the Netherlands, Queen Maxima covets this deeply.

Selita Ebanks and Nick Cannon

They look great and can also dig this out for a Great Gatsby party should we all live to see the next Roaring 20s. (Separately, obviously, as they are not together anymore.)

Eva Mendes

This feels maybe a LEETLE too cocktail, but it's CUTE! (I assume it's Michael Kors, given that he's lurking back there behind her.)

Christina Ricci

Dishy! (Please note: You may have seen this in the 2006 slideshow. It was filed there in error. It is from 2007. Thanks for understanding.)

Robin Thicke and Paula Patton

This is actually a great dress on Paula.

Julianne Moore

This is a bit of a snooze, though her red lip is perfect.

Rose McGowan

Sure!

Ashley Olsen

I know I've said this a lot over the last two months but MY GOD we loved spray tan in 2007.

Alicia Keys

"Wait. Did I remember to turn off the jacuzzi?"

Mischa Barton

Yes, it needs a hoik, but this dress is honestly really good.

Gisele Bundchen

I get the slouchy Poiret vibe but something about this makes it look like it's a jumpsuit made for a giant.

Ziyi Zhang

And this makes HER look very weirdly short?

Iman, David Bowie

YES. ALL OF THIS. MORE OF THIS.

Naomi Campbell and Stephanie Seymour, both in Alaia

Modeling a TOTALLY important designer.

Parker Posey

Oh, Parker NO.

Lindsay Lohan

This is sincerely not terrible on Lilo.

Winona Ryder and Marc Jacobs

I wish Winona would wear this again.

Amanda Peet

I hope Amanda does NOT wear this again. Well, I mean, we'd write about it?

Shalom Harlow

WHAT IS THIS. It's like a misguided lamp.

Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts

Aw. Aren't they fresh-faced and young? We've entered the pregnancy portion of this slideshow.

Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault

Expectant parents part two.

'Olivia Wilde

Not pregnant, just a floaty dress!

Mary-Kate Olsen

Is it wrong that I love this?

Kate Moss

Kate looks great, too. I feel like she has a great smile and we hardly ever see it.

Julia Louis Dreyfus

This is lovely, and very princess-y, which isn't her usual vibe.

Kelly Ripa

This is great.

Rosario Dawson

And this is excellent, but I think it was overshadowed by...

Cameron Diaz

THIS.

Sandra Bullock

I forgot how GREAT this was on her.

Ginnifer Goodwin

I mean, I can understand why she tried it.

Jennifer Garner

This is very on-brand for her.

Juliette Lewis

Speaking of on brand, this is ALSO on brand. No one wears a headband like this like Juliette.

Donatella Versace and Hilary Swank

Hilary Swank, for a double Oscar winner, really DID fall off the planet. I guess doing that birthday party for that Chechan dictator really torpedoed her. (Although honestly other celebs have done similar and managed to skate. It's weird.)

Renee Zellweger

This was really good.

Scarlett Johansson and Stella McCartney

WHAT is happening? Stella looks like she blew her paycheck on going-out clothes at Bebe, and Scarlett is wearing a KHAKI COCKTAIL DRESS and FISHNETS?!

America Ferrera

I feel that she deserved better than this.

Jessica Stam

She looks like a beautiful beaded door hanging.

The 2007 Met Gala Brought Us Poiret: King of Fashion

And an iconic Cate Blanchett look.
