You Won't Believe What Your Favorite Stars Once Wore to the People's Choice Awards

Updated on Jan 18, 2017 at 6:04 PM

If there's one thing we enjoy more than predicting trends of the future, it's reminiscing about those from the past. Days where monogrammed bags reigned supreme, ruched minidresses were considered must haves, and shawls were fancy-ensemble staples. Sure, the thought of once having rocked these things make us cringe a little, but that cringe is often followed by memories. Really, really good memories.

And considering the People's Choice Awards are tonight, the outfits that once ruled its red carpet are practically a nostalgia gold mine. Prep for the award show — which starts at 9 p.m. EST on CBS — by looking back at some of the best outfits, then check out who and what could be taking home a trophy with this list of nominees.

Sandra Bullock

Floral embellishments were all the rage in 2006.

Julia Roberts

See? What did we say about the shawl? Julia wore one in 1998.

Kim Kardashian

Catching the eye of Kanye West back in 2011.

Miley Cyrus

Raise your hand if you owned something like this in 2007.

Taylor Swift

We bet she felt fearless in the strapless minidress she wore to the show back in 2010.

Jennifer Aniston

Recovering from an injury in 2003, Jen went with a suit and toted around a cane at the award show.

Katy Perry

Thinking back to 2011, this colorful gown is kind of tame for the singer.

Halle Berry

Full-on Bond girl in 2007 in a sexy metallic number.

Jessica Alba

She dared to wear a print in 2001 — and pulled it off!

Dakota Fanning

Dakota is one star who always dressed her age. Her blue one-shouldered dress from '07 is absolutely adorable!

Emma Stone

She rocked pants on the red carpet before pants on the red carpet were a thing. Trendsetter since 2012!

Demi Lovato

Oh, the mullet dresses of 2012 . . .

Jessica Simpson

We love Jessica's LBD, but we'll always miss this celebrity duo, who walked the red carpet together in 2005.

Emma Watson

Considering her style's fairly modest now, we're shocked to see Emma's short dress from 2013!

Reese Witherspoon

Sweet and simple! While Reese's look is from 2006, it's still a classic.
