## Gwyneth Paltrow (and Ben Affleck)

Someone bring Goop another G&T! All kidding aside: With the exception of her pashmina -- which, in her defense, was a MUST HAVE in 1998 -- this is an absolutely timeless look on Gywnnie. (I can't remember who did this dress. I want to say Prada, but it's probably Calvin Klein.) This haircut is SO good on her, too. Gwyneth has a series of iconic short haircuts, actually. Consider doing a bob again, Goop!

## Ben Affleck

They were dating here, of course, and also I'd like to point out just how many leather jackets there are in this shot.

## Gwyneth Paltrow and Ethan Hawke

I do not know what is happening here, but this suit on Ethan Hawke has actually aged incredibly well. (Also, I think this premiere was at a movie theatre in Century City that is no longer there because they put the new CAA building in that spot. There also used to be a proper theatre there and it is where I, as a small child, saw Cats AND Les Mis! RIP Shubert Theatre!)

## Ethan Hawke, Anne Bancroft and Gwyneth Paltrow

I need to explain that Ethan Hawke's hair is not messed up from whatever he was doing with Gwyneth's pashmina. Men just did this to their hair in 1998\. Also, how dreamy is Anne Bancroft?

## Anne Bancroft with Mel Brooks,

Bancroft plays the character, Mrs. Haversham, based on the Charles Dickens novel Actress Anne Bancroft with Mel Brooks, Los Angeles, USA

Obviously, Mel Brooks agrees. (Anne Bancroft was Miss Havisham in this particular adaptation, which I've actually never seen.)

## Liv Tyler

This is highly reasonable and, yes, she too is carrying a pashmina. It WAS January.

## Garcelle Beauvais

I am worried that Garcelle NEEDED a pashmina.

This coat is AMAZING and I hope she still owns it and wears it.

Jenna, everyone knows you're supposed to wear your black Steve Madden slides with this outfit. Please get with the program.

## Billy Baldwin and Chynna Phillips

I am delighted that these two are still married. 26 years and counting!

## Scott Weiland

"Singer Scott Weiland, best known for his work with rock band Stone Temple Pilots, arrives at the premiere of the film "Great Expectations,",in the Century City section of Los Angeles. Weiland has a solo song in the film's soundtrack," Informative Caption tells us. I do NOT remember this song, but Wikipedia has the fascinating tidbit that "the song features the stylistic guest-accordion work of Sheryl Crow." Anyway, Scott had a great voice. And also I believe I owned those pants.

## Helen Hunt

Whatever is happening with those boots might be good.

## Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna

Andie, meanwhile, is draped in many a shiny material, as was 1998's way.

## Salma Hayek

And Salma is BEYOND cute.
