Ginnifer Goodwin’s first red carpet outfit is the definition of the early 2000s

Ginnifer Goodwin came on the scene and caught our eye after she stole Justin Long’s heart in the 2009 rom-com He’s Just Not That Into You. Earnest, impossibly kind, and beautiful in a super relatable way, Goodwin’s character was ALL OF US. There was no way you couldn’t NOT love her.

Now, she’s most known for playing the brave and noble Snow White in ABC’s Once Upon a Time. She’s also married to her mega-dashing co-star Josh Dallas, and killing it on the red carpet on the regular.

In fact, she’s ALWAYS been lowkey killing it at fancy events.

Take for example, her first-ever red carpet event for Porn ‘n Chicken‘s movie premiere in 2002.

The lacy slip meets prom dress look is EVERYTHING. Of course it features strappy black sandal heels even your grandma would be cool with and Goodwin’s adorable bangs and her signature smirk-smile!

Here’s Ginnifer and Kirsten Dunst!

Ginnifer and her soon-to-be costar, Justin Long.

And Julia Stiles and Maggie Gyllenhaal! Is your 2000s-loving heart exploding yet?

Ginnifer Goodwin, we’ll love you (and your baby bangs) always and forever.
