When we woke up this morning, we found that Anne Hathaway [1] had already Instagrammed the best throwback shot [2] of the week. The picture in question — a red carpet shot of the actress at the Ella Enchated premiere in a knee-length embroidered dress and flared jeans — brought back fond fashion memories [3]. Remember when just about every star rocked this trend? At photo calls and other A-list events, mind you.
Anne's 'gram might've been a #TBT, but for the sake of #FlashbackFriday, we rounded up six other celebs who pulled off the look right around '04, when it was really, really cool. From Lindsay Lohan [4]'s ruffled look to Nicole Richie [5]'s bold move in all white, read on to see some of the style shots that will spark major nostalgia.
Anne Hathaway
Anne shared a photo of herself in an embroidered sundress, distressed flared jeans, and pointed-toe shoes, writing, "#tbt to the #EllaEnchanted premiere when I got it so, so right (and yes, a stylist who shall not be named helped me with this look #truth)"
Here's another angle of Anne's trendy look. Finishing the dress and jeans combo with a pair of pointed-toe shoes, which subtly poked out from under the pant leg, was key.
Mischa Barton
Mischa tried out the look at the Teen Choice Awards, throwing a sequined tunic with ruching over her denim.
Nicky Hilton
Was this Nicky Hilton [6]'s version of a Canadian tuxedo? She wore a lace-finished slipdress, which featured a denim graphic print, over dark-wash jeans.
Paris Hilton
Paris rocked the look with a sheer embellished tunic and additional glittering accessories.
Nicole Richie
Two can play that game, Paris. Nicole tried out the all-white version of the dress-over-jeans look.
But Nicole could master the trend in true blue denim, too — and her Juicy Couture terrycloth top, of course.
Rachel Bilson
Rachel hit the red carpet to promote The O.C. in this look that we'll never forget: a casual striped tunic dress that she completed with a brooch at the hip, flared jeans, and metallic sandals.
While her costars Mischa Barton [7] and Melinda Clark looked sexy in minidresses, Rachel was glowing in her trendy coordinated separates.
Lindsay Lohan
Leave it to Lindsay to complete her ensemble with beads and a green popping clutch, in order to really stand out on the carpet.
Lindsay also tried out the style with a spaghetti-strap ruffled tunic.
