While I do believe that even with the ideas of an “old picture” being tossed around, much is speculated and talked about, this particular picture should have remained in the vault forever. This dazzling picture featured the star goddess in an equally daring shade of lilac top and purple satin trousers, just to keep reminding everyone that she is, in fact, a style icon. The picture had merely a caption: “In colour #tb,” just about enough to bring fans to frenzy with a classy high fashion throwback.

Moynahan gaze strikes a pose-the chin resting in her hand and tousled hair coupled with glamour to go with it. The outfit: Lilac top-enhanced with untamed charm from Corinne Cobson and purple trousers from Lilly Whittingham, meets painted injection of Python chaos in the boots-the charm of this chaos gives that look an edge. Hair: @bustedhair for an effortless blown-out chic style. Makeup-a radiant glow using @bobbibrownessential by Emma Carter.
Soon after the post, the comments section was flooded with praises; one said she is an “Excellent Actress and Beautiful lady,” and another jokingly referred to her basketball skills or lack thereof-almost in jest-for “Blue Bloods.” The most stupendous one comes from a Japanese fan saying Moynahan’s pose reminded her of the “Aiin” pose made famous by the great comedian Shimura Ken. “‘I laughed because it reminded me of him,’” said the fan, adding a cultural spin to the chat.
One of the comments was very plain: “extravagant,” and it almost sums it up entirely. Moynahan’s very rare capacity to marry class and sass is what makes the woman stand apart from the rest, both on and off set. Serving looks or through subtle hints in fashion, she never misses.

This throwback is much more than a flashback: It’s one of the reasons Moynahan remains an ever-relevant fashion force. And with all the buzz her outfit details (especially those boots) continue to stir, it’s clear she knows how to entertain that internet. There’s no doubt about it: More colorful throwbacks are indeed welcome to this side.
