'This was 20 years ago [and now] 20 years later, everyone goes to every event totally with see-through clothes. But at the time, nobody was really doing that.'

Elsewhere in the video, the Emmy-nominated star reminisced on her first time walking the Cannes Film Festival red carpet at age 60. She wore an emerald embellished gown with a thigh-high slit for the The History of Sound premiere in 2025.

Be present, enjoy it and recognize that you're doing something for the first time,' ' she recalled. Teri Hatcher pictured at the 'The History of Sound' premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.
