Runaway Bride is 25 years old!

The romantic comedy, which hit theaters July 30, 1999, saw Julia Roberts reunite with her Pretty Woman costar Richard Gere as Maggie Carpenter — the “runaway bride” in question, who has left multiple men at the altar. Gere, on the other hand, plays a reporter who has come to meet Maggie and write a story about her. (You can probably guess what happens next!)

From Roberts and her boyfriend at the time, Benjamin Bratt, to Christopher Meloni and more, see all the stars who stepped out to celebrate the movie’s premiere in L.A., 25 years ago
