Buffy Babe to Fashion Bombshell: Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Red Carpet Renaissance
The streets were hers for the slaying last Friday night as Sarah Michelle Gellar commanded the red carpet at the prestigious Daily Front Row Fashion Los Angeles Awards. The iconic Buffy the Vampire Slayer lead turned every head in a jaw-dropping, sequin-embellished Oscar de la Renta mini dress that paid tribute to the Y2K glamour she embodied in the early aughts.
Hitting the event solo while husband Freddie Prinze Jr. held down the fort, the 47-year-old stunner turned heads in a mesmerizing ombré creation by Oscar de la Renta. The strapless number shimmered from a serene seafoam green at the sweetheart neckline, transitioning to a soft silver at the waist before bursting into a vibrant fuchsia pink towards the thigh-grazing hemline.
Every inch of the fully-sequined confection glistened under the flashing bulbs, ensuring all eyes were glued to Gellar as she presented the Makeup Artist of the Year award to Rachel Goodwin. The tiny dress, lined with stretch fabric for a smooth silhouette, flaunted her gym-honed physique to perfection.
The fashion-forward mama kept the rest of her look minimalistic yet impactful. Her signature sunny tresses were styled in tousled, beachy waves while a striking ear crawler with fringe detail provided an edgy counterpoint to the hyper-femme frock. Gellar doubled down on Y2K revivals with a slim two-finger ring and a classic French manicure.
For footwear, she elongated her petite frame with a pair of sky-high strappy sandals, allowing the shimmering mini to rightfully occupy center stage. Her radiant smile and confident poise projected the aura of a bonafide red carpet goddess.
Among the glamorous crowd, Gellar’s dazzling arrival arguably overshadowed appearances by Jennifer Garner, Doja Cat, Ryan Murphy, Lisa Rinna and more A-list celebs. While she keeps her personal life relatively under wraps these days, the Cruel Intentions alum has shared glimpses on Instagram of her tropical family vacation with Prinze and their two kids, Rocky, 11, and Charlotte, 14.
But on this showstopping evening, Gellar flew solo as the embodiment of retro Hollywood glamour. Her iridescent mini dress served as a sparkling suit of armor, reminding the world that while she may have hung up Buffy’s stakes, Sarah Michelle’s fashion slaying powers remain as sharp as ever.
