Emma, I know this is Armani, but ALSO NO. (To place you in space and time, btw, this is 1996.)

EMMA THOMPSON WITH PHYLLIDA LAW
PREMIERE OF FILM SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, LONDON, BRITAIN - 1996
The actress Phyllida Law is, of course, Emma's mother, and you can definitely tell from this photo. (She's not in the movie, she's just being a supportive parent.)

Emma seems like a very huggy person. Remember hugging people? I enjoyed it.
Everyone in this pic looks so delighted. Hot hot hot Greg Wise back there has never had more fun! This was like his second film, so I'm sure this was a real mindbender. Also, to catch you up on the goss: At this point in 1996, Emma and Kenneth Branagh were divorced (due to him cheating on her with Helena Bonham Carter), and she had become very depresssed, but she started dating Hot Hot Greg Wise during this film and they are still married!

Emma. Again. No. (She sort of looks like Gillian Anderson here, no?)
Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley

ENTER HUGH GRANT, who is at his befuddled adorable best in this movie. (I say that as a person who also loves Rakish, Bad Hugh Grant.) Elizabeth Hurley looks so pretty and very very subdued. (In case you were wondering, she wore The Safety Pin Dress to the premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral, which we should probably also cover. This is like the polar opposite of that. Also, you know a dress really made a splash when it has its own Wikipedia page.)

This feels extremely sweet and genuine.

Someone invent a time machine and get Greg Wise's pants hemmed!
