We can always dig a good American Idol throwback moment [1], and Katharine McPhee just offered us our daily dose with a flashback to her season five performance of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing." The 36-year-old singer slipped into her plunging, button-front marigold halter dress that she wore during the memorable moment, posing with a microphone and all. "It's day 26 of quarantine and we're breaking out dresses from 14 years ago. Might have to resurrect this moment, on a red carpet, once we are out of this," she captioned her Instagram, referring to the sheltering in place mandate [2] we have all been experiencing.
Of course, this spontaneous fashion moment sparked plenty of comments from fans and Katharine's famous friends, like Katie Couric, who wrote, "I could not fit into a dress from two years ago," and Amber Farr, designer of bohemian dress label Flynn Skye: "That dress is fire."
We love that Katharine brought a little cheer to her feed by posting a photo of the look. Anyway, if you don't take a picture of yourself in a dress from 14 years ago, did you even really re-wear it at all? Scroll down to see Katharine's 'gram, which will now help her yellow dress go down in history, then get an all-angles view of Katharine debuting it on American Idol. Will it show up on a red carpet in the future? Only time will tell.
