Grace Gummer is reflecting on her early red carpet style.
In an interview with W Magazine published on Monday, June 15, the actress, 40, says she wouldn't choose her 2000s Oscars look today.
The star recalled what she wore to the event, which she attended with her mom Meryl Streep, as a teenager. At the ceremony, Streep was nominated for Best Actress for her work in Music of the Heart but ultimately lost to Hilary Swank for Boys Don't Cry.
The mother-daughter duo coordinated in gold looks. Streep wore a printed jacket and trousers, while Gummer opted for a floor-length ivory column gown with abstract gold line details and accessorized with a pair of shades.
"I thought it was really cool to wear sunglasses because that's what everyone was doing," she told W. "I had really short, curly hair and '90s sunglasses."

Gummer continued, "I was wearing a Mary McFadden stripey, abstract, sparkly long dress, which is, all due respect to her, not what I would choose now. I thought I was a lot cooler than I was."

Gummer recently opened up about growing up with a famous mom during an interview with Elle. She also spoke to the outlet about her role as Caroline Kennedy in the new limited series Love Story, which chronicles the relationship between John F. Kennedy Jr. (played by Paul Anthony Kelly) and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy (Sarah Pidgeon).
During the interview, Gummer revealed how she would feel if Love Story creator Ryan Murphy were to make a series about her mom, legendary actress Meryl Streep.

"I just don't know if that would happen, right?!" Gummer said. "Because my upbringing was nowhere near public."
"The thing about the Kennedys is there's always been this lore about them, this mist in the American era that is so intriguing and will constantly be huge on the public stage," she continued. "It always has been. People are always fascinated with them. And no one is immune to an ill-fated love story. I think we really, really need that right now."
