Pelvic-baring denim aside, it's fun check out a vintage red carpet look and realize it looks just as fresh today as it did when it was first worn. This photo of Lucy Liu, for example, is from the 2002 Los Angeles premiere of "Chicago" — that's two decades ago! — but could've just as easily been taken at New York Fashion Week. Her cream colored, bias-cut dress features a sexy halter-neck, and it reminds me of the Peter Do gown Anya Taylor-Joywore to host "SNL."

Celebs might not be wrapping themselves in pashminas on the red carpet anymore, but an embellished shawl has been a stylish runway accessory, most recently for the likes of Brandon Maxwell.

The humble slip dress will always be a style staple, so why not pick up one of these Liu-inspired pieces?
