Hardly anyone was exempt from the fashion growing pains of the '90s and '00s — not even Julia Stiles. The Hustlers [1] actress recently looked back on some of her most memorable red carpet looks [2] during an interview with The Today Show, and she certainly felt the secondhand embarrassment we all do when going through photos of old outfits. "This was a choice," she started off, reacting to a major Mets moment from the 2001 MTV Movie Awards. We've all been there, Julia.

I might remember Julia's early-aught films like 10 Things I Hate About You [3] and Save the Last Dance [4], fondly, but beneath her own warm fuzzy feelings [5], she remembers . . . the cargo pants. Who's going to tell her those are actually making a comeback [6]? She also rocked a lot of chokers, which, same. Watch the full video above to see Julia cringe, reminisce, and shed light on a few looks you won't soon forget.
