THE MORE THINGS CHANGE, as they say. (Ben no longer wears this much bronzer, though.)

Ben and Jen

I will say, however, that one of the differences between Bennifer 1.0 and the current one is that she is NOT spending all this time gazing at him anymore. They're more gazing AT EACH OTHER now, which is a good evolution for sure.

Jennifer Lopez

She looks great in this; it's very dreamy and floaty.

It was nice of Matt to pop up to support J.Lo! (And possibly keep Ben company while Jennifer schmoozed the party.)

Tyler Posey and family

LOOK AT BABY TYLER POSEY! (And his mom and dad.) He is so cute.

Natasha Richardson and Liam Neeson

I DO NOT know why Natasha Richardson is dressed like it's Octoberfest; I DO hope Liam Neeson strolled up to Ralph Fiennes and mildly noted that this movie was a far cry from Schindler's List.

Bob Hoskins, Jennifer Lopez, Ralph Fiennes and Natasha Richardson

This was the London premiere. Everyone looks pretty glam; I think the freshly-shorn Ralph Fiennes looks a little underdressed.

Jennifer Lopez

I mean, DING DONG!

"You shaved your head!" (I too would like to touch Ralph Fiennes's shaved head at this period in time. Good for you, Jennifer!)

Natasha Richardson

This is PEAK 2002 in the good way to me -- a little twist on ladylike early 60s style and shoes that could stab someone if you needed them to.

Ralph Fiennes and Francesca Annis

Ralph dated Alex Kingston for like ten years and then they went ahead and got married and then he left her like almost immediately for Francesca here, with whom he starred in Hamlet. (He was the titular role, she was Gertrude.) I typed that FROM MEMORY with no help from Wikipedia, which is...a skill that is truly useful only in this exact job.

This is the afterparty look and it's ALSO jazzy. J.Lo has stopped wearing so much fur, which is probably a smart move on her part.

Kimora Lee Simmons

This maybe has one too many things going on.

Kirsten Dunst

Meanwhile, Kiki Dunst looks like an adorable young Swiss Miss, and I might still want that bag.

Julia Stiles

And Julia Stiles is your cynical accounting executive.

Kirsten's dress is even more Swiss Miss than I anticipated! They both look adorable and VERY YOUNG.

Michael Michele

She always looks gorgeous and could honestly wear this now, with the right shoes.

Amy Sedaris

I hope and assume Amy still has this coat.

Tony Goldwyn

December 2002 was a time when photographers didn't care too much about getting someone's whole outfit. So, here's Tony Goldwyn and I assume he's not wearing, like, satin hammer pants with this. HIS LOSS!

Stanley Tucci

SAME.

Eva Amurri

It's about time for her to drag those spectator-y heels out of the back of her closet; this haircut was VERRRRY 2002.

This whole snap is like a salute to the Going Out Tops of the Early Aughts!

Busted

And this is a salute to the frosted tips of the aughts!
