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

Christopher Meloni, who plays one of Roberts’ love interests in the film, kept it cool and casual for the occasion. That year he would go on to kick off his tenure as Detective Elliot Stabler on Law & Order: SVU.

Michelle Trachtenberg was just a teen when she stepped out for the Runaway Bride premiere. While she was not in the film, her career as a young actress was underway with appearances on All My Children, The Adventures of Pete & Pete and an upcoming role in 1999’s Inspector Gadget — which was released just a few days before Runaway Bride.

Diane Warren’s song “Blue Eyes Blue,” performed by Eric Clapton, was featured on the Runaway Bride soundtrack, so it was only fitting that she attended the celebration — wearing blue, no less!
