2012: Viola Davis

This is so chic on her, but IMAGINE it with a great gold cuff bracelet or something.

2012: Busy Philipps

This is also a nice, bright, similar idea. This is the time when Busy often attended as Michelle Williams's plus one, and she made the most of it, fashion-wise.

2012: Jessica Chastain

Debunking the "redheads shouldn't wear pink" idea. Wait, is that right? People have so many ideas about what redheads should and shouldn't wear, and I ignore all of them, so I can't remember which are the ACTUAL ones and which I made up.

2012: Diane Kruger

I had forgotten about this! The pelvic fangs!

2012: Elle Fanning

Oh Elle. Her aesthetic early on was very much Vintage-Shopping Hippie.

2012: Elizabeth Olsen

Those Olsen genes! I Googled their parents, and I guess they look a BIT more like their dad? But honestly they mostly look like each other. It's wild.

2012: Emma Stone

I like this a lot. It's Jason Wu, and the belt WAS shown with it on the runway, even though it kind of looks like a (smart) add.

2012: Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone

This is nice! Back then she often had to make her own stuff and/or nobody was giving her anything with any shape, so she made out pretty well here.

2012: Chloe Grace Moretz

"Quicklyyyyy fly the yeeeeeears..."

2012: Kirsten Dunst

This is kind of like the slightly grown-up version of that outfit.

2012: Christopher Plummer

Oh captain, my captain.

2012: Mindy Kaling

I THINK this is back when her costume designer, Sal Perez, was styling her? It's well-accessorized.

2012: Shailene Woodley

Shailene is here for The Descendents, her big breakthrough into movies, and this definitely NEEDS accessories. Again, just some bracelets would make a difference.

2012: Isabelle Fuhrman

I like that skirt, but the shoes look like her feet are bandaged.

2012: Evan Rachel Wood

Here I think we're missing a necklace.

2012: Evan Rachel Wood

Back in this era, we also had people taking close-ups of shoes and accessories, which are are WAY less likely to get now.

2012: SWINTON

Very chill.

2012: Stacy Keibler, George Clooney

Remember when Intern George dated a former professional wrestler?!?

2012: Michelle Williams

I don't love this, and think it looks like something they designed to be knee-length and then quickly altered. I DO prefer the warmer hair color on her.

2012: Charlize Theron

Very nice, but I do miss a darker lip.

2013: Amy Adams

This is a decent idea, insanely executed. The whole thing looks messy and lopsided, instead of slouchy-chic.

2013: Amy Adams

"Whatever, just tuck all the extra into the back, no one will see."

2013: Quvenzhané Wallis

THE CUTEST. Remember her carrying dog purses everywhere? I didn't see one here but that's okay, sometimes the dogs have to rest.

2013: Anne Hathaway

That material is fabulous.

2013: Eva Longoria

I think I'd prefer if the ruffles stopped at her waist instead of shooting off down her pelvis.

2013: Amanda Seyfried

That skirt would be GREAT if Johnny Castle showed up and brought her into a spontaneous mambo.

2013: Jessica Chastain

The construction of the bodice is betraying her here a little. I also miss her eyebrows.

2013: Marion Cotillard

I LOVE this, and there are a hundred other shoe colors that would have made more sense than those.

2013: Jennifer Lawrence

Sure, okay. It's fine!

2013: Elle Fanning

Oh, those clodhoppers! Elle really did, in this era, feel like she was made to be a Flower Child or something. You have to love someone so self-assured with her fashion at such a young age.

2013: Jaime King

I was just thinking about Lemon the other day. From what I remember reading, her divorce was really unpleasant; I hope she's doing okay.

2013: Nina Dobrev

This is perfect for when you are a CW star attending a CW-broadcast event. It's sparkly and fun and lively.

2013: Leslie Mann

This ALSO might be perfect to wear if you are a CW star here, which Leslie was not. It comes across a LITTLE childish on her, maybe? I can't put my finger on why but maybe it's the waist.

2013: Famke Janssen

And to think, someone spent ALL that time making that ruffle.

2013: Famke

Again, people used to care about giving us these shots! I miss those days.

2013: Helen Hunt

I forgot she had a brief resurgence! She was nominated for The Sessions.

2013: Emily Blunt

And they got here here for Looper, in the action movie category. I am always pleading for a red lip, but is this perhaps too HOT of a red lip?

2013: Blunt and Krasinski

This photo just made me laugh. She looks like she's just spotted her mortal enemy and is hissing this intel through gritted teeth.

Critics Choice Awards Time Machine: 2012-13

Viola! Emma! A Jennifer and a Jessica! Intern George! Gang's all here.
