Halle Berry

We actually did cover this as a throwback back in April 2020, but there's no way I wasn't going to run it again. This is a bikini, not a shirt. But I mean... I am pretty sure we're all thinking that if we were Halle Berry we would also want to walk around in stuff like this all the time just to be like, "I KNOW RIGHT??? MY BOD IS FIRE."

Rebecca Romijn

Wow, the slit front pants had a moment in 2000 as well?!? Who knew. Well, Rebecca did, I guess. And she is Exhibit A of how to turn a square of fabric into a shirt by adding string.

See? If that looks like more hardware than you expected, it's because the large chunk of material there is actually her handbag.

with James Marsden

It really is a lobster bib of a garment. James Marsden knew he couldn't compete with that.

Anna Paquin

And at first this seems fairly straightforward...

But NOOOOOPE.

Jules Asner

Remember her? She's still married to Steven Soderbergh. And hopefully not still wearing this napkin.

Ray Park

Ray is the Scottish actor whom you might recall best as DARTH MAUL, one of the coolest-looking and most wasted Lucasfilm villains (seriously, you invent that guy and it's only for one freaking movie?). And he deployed a surprise cravat at this party, which is something I always appreciate...

"X-Men" New York City Premiere

... but it makes a bit more sense when you see his full garb. (He's in the movie as one of Magneto's henchmen. Toad I think.)

Famke Janssen and Hugh Jackman

Famke looks lovely, and Hugh looks like his Star Trek costume fitting went awry.

Hugh and Deborra Lee

And yes, Deborra Lee was still very much in the picture! They've been married since 1996.

Ian McKellen

Sir Ian has on a good suit, and some sandals that... look like bandages.

Cyndi Lauper

It's a sign of the times that my first thought here was, "Is she holding up her Covid test?!?"

Heidi Klum

Heidi looks fine. If only she knew how crackpotty it's gonna get.

Katie Holmes

This could only be more era-appropriate if she were wearing thick-soled Nine West slides or some kind of kitten-heeled Steve Madden open-toe situation.

Ashley Judd

Everyone else is wearing the napkins, so Ashley thoughtfully donned the tablecloth.

Kyle MacLachlan

He's always a pleasant sight.

Taye Diggs

He is credited here as "model Taye Diggs." Even though by now, he'd originated the landlord role in Rent, done a soap, and done -- among other things -- How Stella Got Her Groove Back. Informative Caption, you FOOL, he's actor Taye Diggs at this point! Also, those arms. Phew.

This seemed like a good way to transition out of the US premiere into the UK one. This is so extreme. Or I guess X-treme.

Halle Berry

Ah, the Going-Out Top. At least this one IS more of a top.

Rebecca Romijn

I enjoy that she plays Mystique, who is head-to-toe blue, and has also chosen that color for this event.

Famke Janssen

This was an experiment with a wallpaper border gone slightly awry.

Patrick Stewart

P.Stew looks reassuringly P.Stew here.

Anna Paquin

This is pretty cute, although is that a bra strap hiding under there?

Natalie Imbruglia

One thing I am NOT torn about, Natalie, is your platform flip-flops. I hope we as a world have left them in 2000.

X-Men Premiered 22 Years Ago

With shirts that are barely shirts.
