Also, people were VERY into collars in 1996. ## Halle Berry ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/03/GettyImages-76007027-1773171237.jpg) Halle Berry (Photo by Kevin Mazur Archive/WireImage) I know she hasn't had the pixie for a while, but I will always associate her first and foremost with this hair. This also feels EXTREMELY David's Bridal to me but the color does look gorgeous on her. ## Brad and Gwyneth ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/03/GettyImages-82025019-1773171106.jpg) Brad Pitt & Gwyneth Paltrow (Photo by KMazur/WireImage) I wonder how inspired Gwyneth was by Carolyn Bessette, because this IS Calvin Klein and feels VERY much like Carolyn's minimalist taste . This was the year Carolyn and John got married, so Gwyneth could've been on at least year two of a mood board about her. ## Winona Ryder ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/03/GettyImages-79007364-1773171124.jpg) Winona Ryder (Photo by Jim Smeal/Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) For someone with such a famous face, that hair color and cut renders her almost anonymous. ## Salma Hayek ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/03/GettyImages-79828753-1773171143.jpg) Salma Hayek (Photo by Ke.Mazur/WireImage) Beautiful. ## Kate Winslet ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/03/GettyImages-79893742-1773171161.jpg) Kate Winslet (Photo by SGranitz/WireImage) Her Oscar loss (for Sense and Sensibility) to Mira Sorvino has not aged super well, I don't think? She was SO GOOD in that movie. And to think, she hadn't even worn The Heart of the Ocean yet. ## Emma Thompson ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/03/GettyImages-78012134-1773171197-scaled.jpg) Emma Thompson (Photo by Ron Galella, Ltd./Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) Emma is very happy to officiate the wedding of her second cousin, whom she hasn't seen since they were 10. ## John Travolta and Kelly Preston ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/03/GettyImages-75557602-1773171216.jpg) John Travolta & Kelly Preston (Photo by Steve Granitz/WireImage) Kelly might also be a guest at that wedding. ## Elisabeth Shue ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/03/GettyImages-75486081-1773171271-scaled.jpg) Elisabeth Shue at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, California (Photo by Steve Granitz/WireImage) Maybe she's the bride. Everyone is at this wedding!!!! ## Laura Dern ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/03/GettyImages-105144789-1773171489.jpg) Laura Dern during The 68th Annual Academy Awards at Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, California, United States. (Photo by SGranitz/WireImage) And SHE is at a a whole DIFFERENT wedding. ## Joan Allen ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/03/GettyImages-105327685-1773171524.jpg) Joan Allen during 1996 Vanity Fair Oscar Party - Arrivals at Morton's Restaurant in West Hollywood, California, United States. (Photo by Ron Galella, Ltd./Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) It's hers! ## Alicia Silverstone ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/03/GettyImages-105144797-1773171507.jpg) Alicia Silverstone during The 68th Annual Academy Awards at Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, California, United States. (Photo by SGranitz/WireImage) She and Laura Dern will be rival bridesmaids in this drama. ## Whoopi ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/03/GettyImages-51584480-1773171255.jpg) LOS ANGELES, UNITED STATES: Comedian Whoopi Goldberg opens the show as host at the 68th Academy Awards 25 March at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion.

Sarandon won the Best Actress award for her role in Dead Man Walking. (Photo by �� Steve Starr/CORBIS/Corbis via Getty Images) Terrible neckline, iffy makeup, not loving the color... just a total pass for me. ## Mira Sorvino ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/03/GettyImages-51584470-1773171348.jpg) LOS ANGELES, UNITED STATES: Actress Mira Sorvino (R), nominee for the Best Supporting Actress for her role as "Linda" in "Mighty Aphrodite," arrives with her companion, film maker Quentin Tarantino (L) at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion in Los Angeles 25 March for the 68th annual Academy awards. This is Sorvino's first nomination.

(Photo by Donato Sardella/WWD/Penske Media via Getty Images) Tom won the previous year, so he came to present Best Actress. ## Angela Bassett ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/03/GettyImages-105139082-1773171598.jpg) Angela Bassett during The 68th Annual Academy Awards at Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, California, United States. (Photo by SGranitz/WireImage) I wholly support her getting the big jewels. ## Veronica Webb ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/03/GettyImages-139652805-1773171389.jpg) WEST HOLLYWOOD,CA - MARCH 25: Model Veronica Webb attends the Third Annual Vanity Fair Oscar Party on March 25, 1996 at Morton's Restaurant in West Hollywood, California. (Photo by Ron Galella, Ltd/Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) The boldness of the highlighter-yellow fur is amusing. ## Naomi Campbell ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/03/GettyImages-1400251721-1773171408.jpg) British fashion model Naomi Campbell attends the 68th Academy Awards, held at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, California, 25th March 1996\. (Photo by Vinnie Zuffante/Getty Images) Informative caption says, "British fashion model Naomi Campbell..." and it's funny to me that even in 1996 anyone felt the need to explain that. attends the 68th Academy Awards, held at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, California, 25th March 1996\.
