Mandy Moore shows off her toned arms in a strapless midi dress

The most stylish Gaggles of Los Angeles are busy preparing their Sunday best ahead of this weekend’s Vogue World: Hollywood event — but several fashionable faces, including Jennifer Beals, Mamie Gummer and Mandy Moore, are just getting the celebrations started early at Café Kallmeyer’s latest pop-up event in The Dresden.

Last night, Moore was spotted at the iconic Hollywood Lounge for the launch of Drafting, a new creative series from the new culture-led multi-platform media company, Slime runfounded by Pamela Drucker Mann, former CEO of Condé Nast. Saturday Night Live star Chloe Fineman co-hosted the event.

Moore wore an elegant mahogany strapless wool dress by South African designer Danielle Kallmeier. The structured bodice gave way to a pleated skirt, creating soft movement and a flattering fit for the evening event. The singer accessorized with matching pointed heels and a slim silver handbag.

The 41-year-old actress chose a warm, sparkling eye with dark eyeliner and glossy nude lips. Her light brown hair brushed against the sparkling diamond tennis necklace around her neck.

It was a noticeably different look than hers Earlier this month at Step Up’s 2025 Inspiration AwardsWhen she chose bold red lips, dramatic eyebrows, and dark brunette roots.

Following the event, many fans found the former teen pop singer to be “almost unrecognizable,” suggesting that the star had recently undergone plastic surgery of some sort.

“I’m really confused,” one person wrote on X at the time. “I can’t understand how this could be the same person. Mandy Moore was such a natural beauty, why would she get work done to the point of not being recognised.”

“This Is Us” star and Mother of three children Her youngest was born in September 2024, and she has been in the public eye since making her singing debut at the age of 15 with the hit song “Candy.” To say that fashion and beauty trends have evolved since then would be an understatement.

While fans are quick to point out subtle changes in appearance, they may be overlooking the fact that aging on one’s terms is a blessing.

From our point of view, there is nothing sweeter.
