It may have been over 20 years since the movie was filmed, but Denise Richards is still Drop Dead Gorgeous!
The 54-year-old actress recently celebrated the iconic ’90s film Drop Dead Gorgeous with a screening at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, and it’s safe to say she definitely dressed the part.
On Saturday, Aug. 30, Richards stepped out in a striking all-black outfit for the special screening event, where she delivered an introduction to the audience before a viewing of the legendary throwback film.
Sharing photo and video footage to Instagram on Sunday, Aug. 31, Richards showed off her outfit for the evening, which consisted of a plunging lace bodysuit with partially sheer fabric around her torso. The sultry piece was tucked into a pair of fitted black pants and accessorized with a spunky leather jacket.
The Wild Things actress shared a number of photos from throughout the night, including shots of her posing outside in the golden hour sunset. One snap also showed Richards standing in front of statues for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, while another photo also featured her 13-year-old daughter, Eloise.
“About last night,” Richards captioned her Instagram post on Sunday, while giving a “big thanks to @academymuseum for letting us relive the camp and chaos of #DropDeadGorgeous on the big screen!”
“Rebecca Leeman would be so proud👑🦢” she added, referring to her character in the hit 1999 film. The movie, which follows the story of a competitive beauty pageant in a small Minnesota town, also stars Kirsten Dunst, Kirstie Alley, Ellen Barkin, Allison Janney, and Brittany Murphy.
Richards’ post sparked a flurry of comments from nostalgic fans, including one person who wrote, “Rebecca Ann Leeman is of the most iconic & underrated mean girls & I love what a cult classic this film has become!”
“Becky Leeman forever ❤️” someone else gushed.
