This premiere was, per Informative Caption, at the Cinerama Dome! The historic Dome! For Van Wilder! What a time to be alive. For the youngs -- these shoes were incredibly on trend in 2002 and if your heel caught in a subway grate, you would walk out of them at great personal agony. All that aside: Bai looks fantastic here.

## Jillian Barberie and Carmen Electra

Absolutely as it should be for an actor specializing in bro-movies at this point in his career, at this point in time. Also that top button is VERY high. Anyway -- congrats, Ryan! Things are gonna work out really well for you.

Kal Penn ALSO went on quite a professional ride in the next 20 years! (He looks very cute here.)

Leaving aside that this bag is HIDEOUS, this entire concept is good for Tara Reid!

Sugarcult has been "on hiatus" since 2011, but I thank them for truly embodying the Pop Star Hair of 2002 here.

Six is perhaps the one person in this slideshow who could look back at her photo and NOT be able to immediately carbon-date herself.
