This was during the first season of Gossip Girl. Blake looks like such raw clay compared to now. Even the way she carries herself is different. Which makes sense; she's got a world of experience that she didn't have back then.

Lucy Liu

The 75-year-old Italian designer thrilled the crowd with a typically sumptuous, glamorous showcase of his talents, and a spectacular finale featuring dozens of models dressed identically in Valentino's signature scarlet colour. Spectators including Anna Wintour, Uma Thurman, Claudia Schiffer and Lucy Liu gave the diminutive designer a standing ovation as he brought the curtain down on his phenomenally successful career, in which he has dressed everyone from Jackie Kennedy to Kate Winslet. "I am extremely happy," Valentino said at the show. "That is why I am not emotional, because I feel very strong and to have this demonstration of affection, of love, of such generosity - I really am on cloud nine!"

LOOK AT THIS CAPE. I think it's from the previous Ready to Wear collection, and it is hilarious. It looks like it's made of paper. But let's not sleep on the fact that the dress underneath is also weird.

Newsflash: Everyone looked younger 12 years ago.

Today is when I learned that I apparently didn't know what Nadja Auermann looks like. The dress is great.

Uma Thurman

Uma is with one of the models; the name was not in the caption. I feel like she should give that dress to Maya if she still has it.

I feel like we haven't seen Ines in a long time. She was one of my favorite faces.

This is the pants version of Brenda and Kelly's infamous Spring Dance dress. Do not deny it, Mr. Garavani.

And, the show began with a hat. Well, it's really more of a fascinator...

... because THAT is a hat. It doesn't even matter what the dress is. The hat is the thing. It's like the couture version of the scene in Spaceballs where they comb the desert.

I'm skipping ahead in the order just so you can see a different dress that has the same hat. Because it turns out it IS still worth seeing the entire thing. Meanwhile, the gloves look like she was just cleaning the sink. But glamorously.

This needs a hoik, but it's something I could see a person pulling off today with panache. Like Tracee Ellis Ross, maybe.
