4 DECADES AGO: An iconic moment in pop culture history >> 21 Years Ago, Drew Barrymore Wore A Bikini Top On The Red Carpet
The Backstory
The choice to wear a bikini was apparently unintentional. On The Drew Barrymore Show early this month, the host enlisted the help of makeup legend Charlotte Tilbury and hairstylist Chris Appleton to recreate her Charlie’s Angels premiere beauty look. While getting primped, Appleton asked her about the iconic red carpet entrance.
“Did you know then that it was gonna be such an iconic moment that would be referenced in this [way]?,” Appleton asked in a video posted to Instagram. Barrymore replied she didn’t.
In fact, the styling look was purely accidental.
“I went to the LA premiere in the white suit. I couldn’t find a top so I used my J.Crew string bikini top out of my drawer,” she said.
So Nostalgic 21 Years Ago, Drew Barrymore Wore A Bikini Top On The Red Carpet
Drew Barrymore has always been iconic — ever since she starred inE.T. the Extra-Terrestrialat seven years old.
In the four decades since, the actor has clocked in several pop culture-defining moments, especially with her fashion.
Among her many sartorial hits through the years, one red carpet look lives in my mind rent-free: The look she wore to the Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle premiere in 2003.
Her Edgy Glam
Barrymore’s glam mimicked the edgy, cool girl sensibilities of her Angels alter ego, Dylan Sanders. Her hair — dyed blonde at the time — was styled in messy, beachy curls. The real focal point of her look, however, was her smudged smokey eye makeup. The severe charcoal eye effect was complemented by the faint blush and glossed lips.

The Other Angels
The other two angels, Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz, wore matching white looks for a triply memorable red carpet moment.
Liu rocked a long, fitted gown with a plunging neckline and accessorized it with a gold coil bracelet in the likeness of a snake. Diaz, meanwhile, wore a strapless mini LWD. Though she wore heels at the beginning of the premiere, she kicked them off at some point and walked around the carpet barefoot instead.
