It's pretty hard to believe, but it's been 22 years since The Princess Diaries came out on July 29, 2001. In the words of Mia Thermopolis:
To commemorate the anniversary, we're looking back at the iconic cast on their first red carpets vs. at The Princess Diaries premiere vs. on their most recent red carpets.
Note: some of the stars weren't at the premiere of the movie, so I subbed in a picture from the same year. And in some cases, I used the oldest available picture of a star, even if it wasn't a red carpet.
