Kirsten Dunst
This is a GREAT look on Kirsten and she could 100% wear this dress again. (I could not find a credit for it.) It's great on her. And I forgot how cute that short hair was on her, too. Additionally, that magazine cover featuring 98 Degrees behind her makes this an extra sparkler of a time capsule.
Kirsten Dunst
Well done. Nothing to regret here.
Dule Hill and Gabrielle Union
YES, Gabrielle Union's white jeans are bootcut under there. This must have been a wonderfully surreal moment for her; the premiere was held in Westwood, and she is, of course, an alumnae of UCLA. It surely was exciting to be back at your old college for the premiere of your film. Meanwhile, Dule is repping both of his unions. (SAG and AFTRA didn't merge until 2012.) He was very famous at this point for playing Charlie in The West Wing. I believe this is around the point in time when I left a bar -- very drunk! -- and found myself face to face with him, and heard myself chirp, "HI CHARLIE!!" I can't remember if he said hello back or not.
Eliza Dushku
This is reasonable except for that crazy necklace. Oh, friends. Please know we all wore those shoes at the turn of the century. Sometimes your kitten heel would get caught in the purposefully destroyed hems of your bootcut jeans and you'd fall down.
Natina Reed
Natina Reed, of Blaque, WENT FOR IT! I love her for this. (She sadly died in a car accident in 2012.)
Shamari Frears and Brandi Williams
Do we think there was a discussion wherein Natina decided she was not going to wear her little denim going-out look?
Clare Kramer
NOTHING says "August, 2000" like a shiny hankerchief top.
Taye Diggs
I don't know why Taye Diggs attended this event, but I'm ALWAYS glad to gaze upon his visage.
Jesse Bradford
What ever happened to Jesse Bradford? I guess he's still doing guest TV shots -- and apparently in 2015 he was dating Azealia Banks?! I would not have guessed that. Anyway, I always thought he should have been a bigger star, but I sort of think he was, at the time, the poor man's Nicholas Brendan, and it hindered his success. Sadly, of course, Nicholas Brendan has had a very tough go of it since his heyday on Buffy. This slide is getting kinda sad so let's leave Jesse!
Lindsay Sloane
This aged well!! I mean, that dress is very of its time, but it loooks great on her.
Nathan West and Chyler Leigh
Fun fact: These two are still married! (They went through a real tough time with addiction about a year after this photo was taken, but seem to be doing well now. YES, her skirt is scarves attached to a denim waistband.)
Bring It On Premiere
WHAT IS JON VOIGHT DOING THERE?
