Nicole Kidman and Baz Luhrmann
LOOK AT BAZ'S MULLET. Sorry, I just had to get that out. The words were bubbling up like a shaken soda. Nicole looks lovely in her very simple LBD, with the important star-shaped twinkle right smack in the center to grab your eye. Diamonds ARE a girl's best friend, and I feel like stars probably did some winking at one point or another in Moulin Rouge -- it's been awhile -- so it feels on-theme somehow even though it's overall understated.
She did bring sexy back. Not to be confused with whatever "sexyback" Justin Timberlake thought he was bringing to the party a few years ago.
Alicia Silverstone
We've seen SO MANY things in these flashbacks that resemble the going-out outfits in our old photo albums. I feel like she's heading out to The Abbey to have giant martinis.
SMG and FPJ
I just noticed Informative Caption says these two are at the Australian premiere, which lines up because they would've been shooting Scooby Doo in Queensland. Let us all just stop and observe FPJ's commitment to bleaching his hair for... not on but TWO Scooby Doo movies?!?
The Thorpedo
This was the only other picture we had from the Down Under event, and OF COURSE it's Ian Thorpe. His ladyfriend was not mentioned by name, which she may prefer, if she ever looks back and remembrs that she shredded her pants into what look like pinata tails.
Brittany Murphy
Aw. I didn't watch the big documentary about her death that recently came out, but Twitter seemed to find it VERY REVEALING. I wish Tai were still here, being way harsh, wearing a necktie on bare skin.
Pink
SPEAKING OF WHICH. I almost didn't seek out a full photo; I was going to say that I assumed those are just black pants, and that they didn't end in any shenanigans that could compete with the top. Then I realized that this was foolish, and I was right.
There are ALWAYS shenanigans. Always.
Christina Aguilera
Pink has managed to make THIS ensemble look almost sensible.
Jennifer Tilly
This IS the Moulin Rouge of stretch-lace tops, it's true.
Kylie Minogue
So is this. Maybe they shopped together at Moulin Blouse.
Bai Ling
Abs were the accessory of the day, it seems. Also Bai Ling looks refreshingly like a college student here, as compared with some of her more aggressively bonkers getups.
Maria Conchita Alonso
"I don't have time for any of that foolishness. I'm just going to kill it in a REAL DRESS, thanks."
