Jeri Ryan brought eco-chic to the NRDC’s star-studded benefit—her sleeveless leopard dress proving that sustainability and style aren’t mutually exclusive.
At a time when environmental advocacy was just beginning to flirt with Hollywood glamour, Jeri Ryan stepped onto the red carpet at the Natural Resources Defense Council’s Earth to L.A. Benefit on May 31, 2000, with a look that felt both conscious and captivating. No greenwashing, no gimmicks—just a confident embrace of bold print and timeless polish.
Ryan wore a sleeveless, knee-length dress in a classic leopard print—equal parts sultry and sophisticated. The fabric appeared to be a lightweight crepe or stretch blend, hugging the body without clinging. The cut was clean, with a modest neckline and a hem that hit just above the knee, offering a silhouette that was both red carpet-ready and cocktail-appropriate.
She paired the dress with black high-heeled shoes—simple, sleek, and smartly chosen to let the print take center stage. A black clutch added structure, while a long necklace introduced verticality and a subtle shimmer. The accessories didn’t compete—they completed.

At the Mission: Impossible 2 premiere on May 18, 2000, held at the iconic Mann’s Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, Jeri Ryan didn’t just show up—she delivered a look that felt like a subtle nod to the franchise’s sleek espionage aesthetic. Think: femme fatale meets downtown cool.
Ryan wore a sleeveless, shiny silver top—likely satin or lamé—that caught the light with every camera flash. The cut was clean, with a modest neckline and a slightly relaxed fit that balanced glamour with ease. Paired with tailored black pants, the ensemble leaned into a minimalist silhouette while still offering visual punch.
She styled the look with black open-toe heels, a small silver handbag, and a light blue shawl draped casually over her arms. The shawl added softness to the otherwise structured palette, while the bag’s metallic finish echoed the top’s shimmer. A pink-beaded strap on the purse introduced a playful detail—unexpected, but charming.
In 2000, red carpet fashion was shifting—moving away from heavy gowns and toward sleeker, more wearable statements. Ryan’s outfit tapped into that moment, offering a version of celebrity fashion that felt modern, unfussy, and quietly cinematic. It’s the kind of look that could walk into a cocktail party or a covert mission briefing and feel equally appropriate.
At the Argyle Hotel’s velvet-roped entrance, Jeri Ryan delivered a crisp black-and-white ensemble—slit sleeves, lace-up pants, and just enough attitude to match the marble.
There’s a certain kind of fashion confidence that comes from knowing exactly how to balance simplicity with statement—and Jeri Ryan had it in spades at the GQ Magazine Party held at the Argyle Hotel in West Hollywood on June 22, 2000. Her look? A monochrome masterclass in texture, proportion, and subtle rebellion.
Ryan wore a black long-sleeve top with dramatic slit sleeves—an elegant twist that added movement and a hint of skin without veering into overt drama. Paired with white pants featuring a lace-up detail at the front, the ensemble played with contrast and construction. The pants, fitted and slightly flared, gave the look a tailored edge while nodding to early-2000s experimentation with corset-inspired elements.
She accessorized with a long pendant necklace that added verticality to the silhouette, drawing the eye downward to the lace-up feature. Black high-heeled sandals kept the palette tight and the vibe elevated. A black clutch bag completed the look—sleek, unfussy, and perfectly sized for a night of mingling.
