2003:

If there were any one birthplace of Fug, there would be a wall of fame there taking note of its most famous progeny. This outfit would be on it.

2003: Cate Blanchett in Valentino

This is a dress I'd love to see Cate wear again, because it's very pretty, and I think her hair and makeup are ruining the vibe.

2003: Anne Hathaway in Elie Saab (I think)

Young Anne looks very cute in this, and might have needed a more romantic hair situation to go with it.

2003: Kate Hudson in Valentino

That sits a little low, but honestly, it's a REALLY fun dress and it suits her vibe very well. I think it needed a red lip though.

2003: Helen Mirren

Oh, Helen, what manner of cardigan IS that? It's just the sleeves.

2003: SJP

SJP, the "going-out top" is for a night out in Manhattan, not at the Beverly Hilton.

2003: Courteney Cox and David Arquette

She is so gorgeous. David's face says, "I KNOW RIGHT?!??"

2003: Uma Thurman

Uma has very sedate taste. I could not pick this dress out of a lineup.

2003: Salma Hayek and Ed Norton

That red is perfect on her.

2003: Halle Berry

I love the necklace, at least. That's all a bit princessy for her.

2003: Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones

Ah yes, the year she was super pregnant! She won for Chicago, if I'm not mistaken. I DEFINITELY remember her winning the Oscar while SUUUPER pregnant -- she performed that night and had the baby like weeks later. Good times. Well, maybe not for her undercarriage, but.

2003: Queen Latifah

This color scheme is so very cheesy.

2003: Sharon Stone

Was Sharon going through a Madonna phase?

2003: Cameron Diaz

There is so much here that is awkward. The makeup, the strap, the plastic shoes. Her legs are out there like, "We're TRYING, but..."

2003: Heather Graham

This is like the equally bad sequel to what Cynthia Nixon wore in 2002. A franchise that never needed a second installment.

2003: Jennifer Garner

This is very Breakfast at Tiffany's, and definitely needs gloves.

2003: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver

What is Maria WEARING? Maybe she's trying to hide behind Arnie so that no one will notice her dress.

2003: HBC

"I know. Tim Burton designed it."

2003:

Is this backwards?

2003: Meryl

This photo cracks me up. What's ACTUALLY happening is, she's doing an interview, and the black thing you see is one of the flaps around the camera lens that protects it from glare or whatever. But it LOOKS like she's opening wide so someone can roll some cashews into her mouth, and I have never wished MORE that this were true. EVERY awards show should have an emergency nut funnel.

2003: Beyonce

She has come A REALLY LONG WAY.

2003: Debra Messing

Ehhhhhh.

2003: Nicole Kidman

This looks sort of interesting in motion...

2003: Nicole

... but when she stands still, it's like she's trying to hatch from her cocoon with limited success.

2003: Allison Janney

I wish there were MORE red and gold.

2003: Kirsten Dunst and Maggie Gyllenhaal

"Jake? JAKE, IT'S ME. HAVE YOU LEFT YET? I RAN INTO MAGGIE. SHE ASKED YOU TO BRING THE TIDE PEN."

2003: Renee Zellweger

More of Renee doing Renee. It's not the best version of it.

2003: Julianne Moore

The star here: her green earrings.

2003: Angie Harmon

Oh dear.

2003: Parker Posey

Well, I don't like this exactly, but I do APPRECIATE it for being bright in a sea of black and white.

2003: Jude Law

This is for those of you who would like Jude to smolder today.

2003: Diane Lane

She is lovely, and this needed some jewels.

2003: Sigourney Weaver

What a hodgepodge.

2003: Marg Helgenberger

She's doing well with a tricky color.

2004: Gwen

All right! Welcome to 2004. This is fine! I'm trying to pinpoint why Gwen looks different now, and I'm pretty sure it's her nose. Right? She tweaked that at some point. This is definitely not the exact same face.

2004: Maria Bello

Ah, yes, the era of a hundred thousand strands of beads.

2004: Eva Mendes

Deeply underwhelming.

2004: Sienna Miller

No, Sienna, you CAN'T wear your nightie and expect nobody to notice.

2004: SJP

Cute! I've said this before, but I like her as a brunette.

2004: Diane Keaton

This was for Something's Gotta Give, I believe. One thing that will not give: her aesthetic.

2004: Renee Zellweger

Here's her win for Cold Mountain, which... sure. I don't remember being blown away by her performance -- there was a very broad Southern accent, if I recall? -- but I also didn't really like the movie itself or the book, so. She definitely looks cute.

2004: J.Lo

Not bad! J.Lo can be sedate when she wants to be and it still works.

2004: Jennifer Garner

She looks concerned that the tiny production of Carousel happening each night around her ankles was about to raise the curtain early.

2004: Portia de Rossi

She does not look concerned ENOUGH that her dress is terrible.

2004: Diane Lane

This is great! Still no necklace, but I don't think it needs one; she nailed the earrings, and I see a nice chunky ring.

2004: Nicole Kidman

This flapper look was NOT to my taste.

2004: Nick and Jessica

Wearing your Kleenex around your neck is a novel idea.

2004: David Cross

Is that Jessica Walter, trying to look very politely and without ANY shock or concern at David Cross's outfit?

2004: Russ and Amber Tamblyn

Dear Amber: You're gonna marry the dude in the green coat.

2004: Scarlett Johansson

That's a lot of lift.

2004: Jessica Lange

Somehow, and I don't know why it is, the dudes look kind of jerky when they wear shades on the red carpet, but the women look BADASS.

2004: Tyra

This is so... relaxed! She looks nice. (This would have been... we were finishing post-production on ANTM season 3, so gearing up for ANTM season 4.)

2004: Peter Saarsgard and Maggie Gyllenhaal

This whole aesthetic was a little mature on her. Maybe she was trying to match his weird dated mustache.

2004: Charlize in Dior

I am not in love with this, but it's a bit more romantic and less severe than so many of the subsequent Diors and such she's worn. I'm softening on it.

2004: Holly Hunter

I guess she had neck chills?

2004: Allison Janney

I'm feeling it.

2004: Cate Blanchett

She was pregnant, and working that ruby color very nicely. But...

2004: Cate

... the hair went sour on her. Good thing those earrings can distract us.
