Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks at "That Thing You Do"

Everyone here looks respectably 1996. I think Rita has aged into a fab and glam lady who would make a super Drinks With Broads guest, and accordingly, I enjoy her latter-day wardrobe more than this. 

Liv Tyler at "That Thing You Do"

Those houndstooth shoes are cut kind of like Isotoners. I also woudn't be that surprised if Liv had gotten this outfit from her dad's closet.

Johnathon Schech, Steve Zahn and Ethan Embry at "That Thing You Do"

Look at Steve Zahn, all polished up! Ethan Embry looks like he's on the way to geometry, and Johnathon, like he's a college dude who's cool with taking a high-school girl to the winter formal.

Charlize Theron at "That Thing You Do"

Baby Charlize liked color more than she does now, it seems. She should fish this out of the vault. It's a little dated but who would notice?

Charlize and Hanx at "That Thing You Do"

"Hang in there. Pretty soon you're going to go BOOM, and when you do, maybe don't do that one movie with Will Smith? I can't tell you how I know about it, but trust me."

Ted Dansen and Mary Steenburgen at "That Thing You Do"

TED AND MARY. Look at her gams. And the blue on her is amazing.

Ellen DeGeneres and Elle Macpherson at "That Thing You Do"

For Ellen context, this was before the 1997 episode of her sitcom in which she came out, so at this point she was mostly known for that show and her stand-up. So she may not have had the resources for a better outfit, but you know who did? Elle Macpherson. ON BOTH THEIR BEHALVES.

Jennifer Love Hewitt at "That Thing You Do"

That's an intense stretchy turtleneck right there.

Bill Paxton at "That Thing You Do"

Well, shit, this made me sad too.

Gary Sinise at "That Thing You Do"

I assume Gary Sinise is there because he and Bill and Hanx swore an Apollo 13 blood oath of brotherly support. WHERE IS KEVIN BACON???

Drew Barrymore at "Music & Lyrics" in 2007

Drew looks GLAM here. I love it. And the bracelets! She does not NAB even a tiny little bit.

Haley Bennett at "Music & Lyrics"

And, you might recall The Girl on the Train's Haley Bennett from her first major role in this flim. Her character is totally flighty and this feels like an effort to be like, "Casting agents, yes, I was acting."

Emma Roberts at "Music & Lyrics"

Ah, belts under boobs. It still happens.

Adam Brody at "Music & Lyrics"

I am intrigued by what he's trying with this coat, but it's a bit of a mess with everything else he has on. Ilaria Urbinati would probably like a crack at making this work.

Hugh Grant at "Music & Lyrics"

"Bollocks, everyone else has their hands on their hips or somesuch. Best try and blend."

Josh Henderson at "Music & Lyrics"

No, son. You're young to shove your pants off. (Also: If you recognize him, it might be as Jenna Dewan's jerk BF in Step Up, or as John Ross Ewing in the Dallas reboot, where he was quite good.)

Kate Walsh at "Music & Lyrics"

Sure! I don't mind this.

TR Knight at "Music & Lyrics"

"Hi. I was still on Grey's in 2007, but nobody had told me about tailoring."

Tiffany at "Music & Lyrics"

I am always happy to see a former teen pop sensation in the building.

Sandra Bullock at "Music & Lyrics"

And, SURPRISE SANDY. She is not dressed like she GAF about this premiere, but she's not in the movie, and barely walked the red carpet, so maybe she is G'ing the exact right amount of Fs.

Christopher Guest and Jamie Lee Curtis at "Music & Lyrics"

"Chris? The fountain drinks are this way."

Drew Barrymore at "Music & Lyrics" in NYC

The movie had a NYC screening, too, and Drew ALSO looked completely dishy there. The neckline is a little tortured but she's selling this wonderfully.

Drew and Hugh

This is ostensibly to bring Hugh into the proceedings, but also, Drew looks so happy and we needed a closer look at those megastones around her neck.

Haley Bennett

I liked her other dress better. This looks like it was originally designed to be a leotard.

Scott Porter

He is in this movie only in the video, as the George Michael to Hugh Grant's Andrew Ridgeley, but he makes the absolute most of it.

Drew and Hugh in the UK

I mean... okay, it might need a hoik. But considering Hugh basically wore the same sloppy-ass thing to all three events, Drew pretty much went 3 for 3 with the Well Playeds, right?

Revisiting The Premieres of "That Thing You Do" and "Music & Lyrics"

Plus an earworm that's really more of a present to you, in Adam Schlesinger's honor.
