She was mugging the MOST and this was the best solo shot I could get of this outfit, which is objectively pretty unobjectionable! (Full disclosure: I found her unbearable in this part.)

NE'ER has Eva looked LESS like the Widow Longoria. Although she's often on my TV waxing poetic about "derm ingredients"....I miss her.

This is more funereal! Although also chic, even if she does look like she's going to a very somber function.

This is (a) beautiful but (b) washes her out and (c) I just realized this event happened at Barney's (RIP). I hope it goes without saying that I love her. I'm sure you know that, after Melrose Place, she became a grief counselor and I feel like....would Dr. Kimberly Shaw being my grief counselor help or hinder me? It's seriously a toss-up.

Yes, this is the Melrose Place segment of this slideshow. Doug Savant looks like Doug Savant. Laura Leighton looks ABSOLUTELY like she didn't have the time or inclination to change out of whatever she was wearing earlier -- but at the same time Jeans and A Cute Top WAS the Going Out Outfit of 2004. Facially, of course, she is adorable.

Brenda. These two articles of clothing could easily have been better acquainted. Do not make me make ANOTHER Sue Ellen Mishke joke!!!

This is verrrrrry 2004 and feels a bit juvenile for her. Although I must confess that I thought she was very fun on this show.

Do I still perhaps want that blazer? The answer's not no....
