Vanessa Williams is wearing a 26-year-old dress that she wore to the film premiere
It can be difficult to imagine 1998 as being so long ago.
Eight more years would pass before Us Weekly launched its website. It would be almost ten years before the first iPhone was released. Nevertheless, Vanessa Williams still looks stunning in that dress today.
«Oh, this old item?» On Friday, June 21, Williams, 61, shared a photo of herself attempting on an ivory Carmen Marc Valvo dress on Instagram.
The former cast member of Ugly Betty debuted the ensemble on the red carpet for her film Dance With Me in August 1998.
She wore a delicate gold necklace and stiletto shoes as accessories at the time. Her lengthy hair was also pinned back by her.
Williams chose to wear her hair in a long bob on Friday. Williams accessorized the dress with matching jewelry and golden heels to accentuate its exquisite floral appliqués.
Social media fans of Williams, who portrayed Chayanne in the movie, expressed amazement.
Fashion designer and stylist Phillip Bloch gushed, «Always the chicest and the most beautiful inside and out 😍.» in a comment.
«Werk!» was Laverne Cox’s response when Julianne Hough called «icon» Williams «perfect.»
«Wearing a classic,» William wrote in her Instagram Story post beside the comparative photos.
