Nicole Kidman

Well, this is pretty good. But I hope the fit is snug because it's sitting in a place where it is NOT impossible that we could see a leak.

Oh, but she can't move in it without holding the entire skirt open. Bummer.

Jessica Simpson (in Kors, I think)

I am ALSO concerned about whether this can corral her quarry, although I am currently reading her juicy book, and BOY, did she grow up with a lot of people obsessing over whether her breasts were too big to be appropriate for the Lord. Poor kid. Jessica, you are lovely however you are. But I wish Michael Kors had gone ahead and hoiked this.

Tinsley Mortimer

Tinsley is, I'm told, experiencing a renaissance of sorts on a Real Housewives franchise. Back in 2005, she was the rising Queen Bee of a socialite circle that had about a two-year moment in the sun during the life of the Socialite Rank website. Pink was her color, and she always curled her hair. This is so unbelievably on-brand. She's Duvet Barbie.

Natalia Vodianova

I don't know what she's doing, though.

Vanessa Minnillo

That's just... so beautiful. Wow.

Elisha Cuthbert

The early days of 24 were a heady time for us all.

Carmen Electra

Gotta be honest: A Met Gala invitation feels like a REALLY big get for her?

Vanessa Williams

I find this weirdly soothing. Like, Vanessa Williams might as well just be going out to Per Se with her family.

Shalom Harlow

Kicky!

Karen Elson

I, too, am scared of how twee this is.

Elle Macpherson

The star of this photo is her hair. It's Pantene perfect.

Jennifer Connelly

"I really miss my cat, so I brought some of Mr. Whiskers's hairballs with me."

Joely Richardson

I like the flowers, but they are headed for a very ticklish region.

Rachel Weisz

She is more splendid than this.

Vanessa Paradis

I wonder what she's doing now. I feel like someday we're going to end up with her and Lily-Rose Depp cohosting one together. I don't know WHY, or under what auspice. Maybe Lily-Rose will win an Oscar.

Amanda Peet

"Which way to the beach? The minister is waiting for me."

Naomi Watts

"Bridal" could have been the theme, truly.

Emmy Rossum

This dress says, "I do not want to do what Anne Heche did last year, so just give me something pretty."

Marcia Cross

I want Marcia Cross to be part of all our lives forever, but not like this. She seems like she should be wearing kick-ass sexy fitted suits without blouses underneath.

Linda Evangelista

.... huh.

Claire Danes

I feel like Kate Middleton had this tacked up on the corkboard she most likely still used in 2005, before Pinterest was a thing

Bridget Moynihan

Oh, no. You don't tailor a too-large nightie by just jamming the front through a sewing machine. And don't cut a garter in half and use it as straps. Please.

Sophie Dahl

Do you think in this photo she's JUST realizing what's happening?

Sheryl Crow

A lot of these seem like they were last-minute decisions about gowns that were made a day earlier

Mariska Hargitay

I sincerely thought for a second that this was Tori Spelling.

The Olsen Twins

They look so cute and happy. Aw. (That's Ashley on the right, in gold.

Ivanka

This is for the theme Dementors In Design. (And yes, I would have felt that way no matter who it was in this dress.)

Lil Kim

Second prize! That's something to celebrate, Kim.

Erika Christensen

I wonder if some of these actresses look back and think, "I wish I'd gotten invited in a year when it was INSANE." But then, I also think maybe it was way less stressful during these "catch as catch can" years.

Carey Lowell and Richard Gere

This dress is an ode to a wrought-iron gate

Selma Blair

SHE should clearly have attended in the Dangerous Liaisons year. Forget Glenn and Michelle: Why wasn't the entire Cruel Intentions gang there?!?

Marcia Gay Harden

This is a bit messy. Someday, at Drinks With Broads, she can tell me all about it.

Liya Kebede

They are a VERY handsome couple.

Karolina Kurkova

Thank you. I love you too. But the wet dirty steps are REALLY stressing me out. It's little wonder Anna eventually invested in a ton of tents.

The Theme for 2005 Was Apparently Just... Chanel

So I guess... everyone wear whatever!!!
