She looks really reasonable here but the star is the jewelry, of course. (She also had a three-month old baby at home at this point.)

I look forward to one day reading an oral history of the aughts love of Statement Necklaces. (Shout-out to the folks in the background hanging out of their car to try to figure out what premiere is happening at the Chinese theatre.)
Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves

Matthew McConaughey looks essentially timeless; Camila Alves looks, let's be frank, fantastic.

Michael Douglas

Michael Douglas looks like the kind of man who never runs out of cigars at home. Not EVER.

This is so whimsical and also modest on Bai Ling, for whom the latter generally wasn't a huge concern. It's fun! BRING BACK FUN.

This was before she winded up on REVENGE and -- fun fact -- this was the second film in which she played Young Jennifer Garner. (The other is, of course, 13 Going On 30.) That is quite a niche! This look says, "PLEASE cast me on Gossip Girl!"

What was I saying about statement necklaces?

Grey is always an intriguing choice for a formal dress, to me. I get it, but I don't know if I GET IT. (She does, in fairness, look good in this.)

Yes, this was the Fug Nation Official Cocktail Dress of 2009, that's correct.

I'd like to get a count of how many folks owned this, or a version of it, in 2009. I am one of them!

But this is legitimately pretty delightful, even now.

This dress is likewise pretty timeless; the shoes are, of course, from the Kate Middleton Patent Leather Sledge Collection, which was VERY happening at this period of time.
