While there are some actors from the ’90s that are totally unrecognizable now, Sarah Michelle Gellar somehow looks just the same as her “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” days. The mom of two has hardly aged, which is clear in the before-and-after pics she shared on Instagram that showcased her evolving fashion taste. “I’m happy to say that my style has definitely improved. Hopefully I burned those shiny hose!! And I apologize for the feather bag,” Gellar quipped. While her ‘fits are certainly more elevated these days, the one thing that hasn’t changed is that the “Scream 2” star loves to show off her legs, then and now. At 5 feet, 4 inches tall, she knows just the right length her hemline should hit to make them look as elongated as possible while avoiding a celebrity wardrobe malfunction.
It’s clear Gellar loves to have fun with her style; she often steps out in colorful, sequined dresses, with sky-high heels for extra height. While discussing her outlook on fashion, she told People, “I’ve been going outside of my comfort zones, which is rare, I think, at my age. But I don’t know, maybe there’s a confidence that comes with age? You get to be a little bit more daring.” Those “daring” ‘fits include lots of short skirts, and we’re loving all of Gellar’s many leggy looks.
Sarah Michelle Gellar was pretty in pink sparkles on ‘Star Search’
Sarah Michelle Gellar is bringing the full glam with her “Star Search” looks. As one of the judges on the revived Netflix show, she absolutely slayed in a rose gold, sequined dress with puffy, tiered, blush pink sleeves. The minidress showed off Gellar’s toned gams, which looked miles long with a pair of nude pumps. “You look so good in PINK!!!!! Slaying as always,” a fan commented on Gellar’s Instagram post. With the floral appliqué on her chest and dangly starburst earrings, the whole look was campy perfection.
Gellar shone like a disco ball in her silver dress
Sarah Michelle Gellar sure knew how to make her “Star Search” debut. The judge made quite the entrance in her sparkly, silver, one-sleeved dress that hit just above mid-thigh. Gellar’s showstopping sheath featured a large, structured shoulder that gave it an avant-garde twist. She accessorized with equally blinding metallic pumps and loads of dazzling jewelry. This was her chance to make a mark after being rejected by the OG show as a kid, and she did just that with her flashy ‘fit.
Her short shorts showed a lot of leg
Sarah Michelle Gellar showed off her playful side with a star-studded black jacket, wearing just a bralette underneath, along with matching shorts for a Comic Con appearance in October 2025. This was one of Gellar’s more skin-baring looks to date, and it was perfect for promoting her upcoming adult animated show, “Breaking Bear.” Gellar completed her nearly all-black ensemble with a pair of black Louboutin pumps, proving that monochromatic looks don’t have to be boring. Just a hint of silver jewelry was enough to keep the focus on Gellar’s amazing suit — and legs.
Gellar’s ombré minidress stole the show at the Fashion Los Angeles Awards
Always trust Sarah Michelle Gellar to never turn down a sequin moment. The “Cruel Intentions” star dazzled at the 2025 Fashion Los Angeles Awards in a mint green dress with a gradual color shift to a blush pink at the skirt. The strapless Oscar de la Renta dress had a slightly flared tulip skirt that tapered at the hem, resulting in an hourglass silhouette. Gellar emphasized her lean legs with a pair of strappy silver heels, and she kicked off sandal season with a bold pedicure that went perfectly with her colorful statement outfit.
Sarah Michelle Gellar brought main character energy to a premiere
Although Sarah Michelle Gellar only had a short cameo in the 2025 reprisal of “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” she totally brought her star power to the red carpet during the premiere. Wearing a gorgeous 3D Oscar de la Renta cocktail sheath with butterfly appliqués, Gellar’s legs were on full display, which she accentuated with bright orange pumps that complemented the blue dress. We’re sure her beauty pageant queen character, Helen Shivers, would totally approve of this red carpet outfit.
She looked ready for spring in her striped Missoni ‘fit
Sarah Michelle Gellar nailed her daytime television look in April 2025 while visiting “The Today Show” in a colorful, striped Missoni jacket and short skirt. It was the ultimate New York City ensemble that kept her warm in the slightly cool weather, while exuding spring vibes at the same time. As the ultimate fashionista, Gellar broke the outdated rule of matching her shoes and purse, but still adhered to the color scheme with a black shoulder bag and nude pumps.
Sarah Michelle Gellar looked lovely in lace
Sarah Michelle Gellar proved that white lace doesn’t have to be boring or dowdy when she supported her husband’s film, “The Girl in the Pool,” in July 2024. The “Scooby Doo” star looked picturesque in a boat-necked frock with a layered, flared skirt that could have easily taken her from day to night. The black bow at the neck was so adorable and on theme with her tiny handbag and matching pumps. Only Gellar could manage to look both demure and coquettish at the same time.
