Melissa Joan Hartis going vintage forIndependence Dayonce again!
She sported the infamous red, no-sleeve number — which features an eagle front and center — in a carousel of photos she shared on Instagram Monday. Her post demonstrated just how many times she’s proudly worn the piece throughout the years.
“The eagle dress has landed. 🦅,” shewroteof the piece before sharing “a little history about the dress that has decorated my always changing shape for 21 years now.”
Hart said she first bought the dress in Melbourne, Australia back in 2000, before debuting it on Jay Leno’s late-night show. She explained that it was “after 9/11 when I only wore red, white and blue for the better part of a year.”
Since 2008, Hart said the dress has served as a “July 4th staple in my Tahoe closet … and I have worn it every year minus 2019 when I spent independence Day on the east coast.”
“And some doctored up photo of me with @bryancranston and @hilaryduff that never actually happened in my memory. Slide show included for reference,” she joked. “Happy July 4th to my fellow Americans.”
