The Hollywood couple brought a dose of glamour as they walked the red carpet nearly three decades after their horror film debut.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, 48, and Freddie Prinze Jr., 49, appeared hand in hand at the Los Angeles premiere of the new “I Know What You Did Last Summer” on July 14, 2025. They turned heads with their fashion and interactions, sparking a swirl of comments across social media platforms.
The couple was seen at the United Theater on Broadway in subtly coordinated outfits. The actress wore a whimsical mini dress, featuring a strapless silhouette and intricate butterfly motifs in shades of baby blue, deep navy, and vibrant orange.
She completed the look with a structured orange leather clutch and pointed-toe heels, adding sparkle with a tennis bracelet, silver fan-shaped earrings, and a stack of rings. Most notably, she wore a bold diamond piece on her right hand.
Meanwhile, her husband looked more casual yet still stylish in a navy blue linen suit, complemented with a white shirt and black leather loafers.
Although Gellar was there only to support Prinze Jr., since her character from this franchise died in the original film from October 1997, the moment still reignited interest in the couple. Several netizens even started dissecting their interaction on the red carpet and speculating.
Prinze Jr.’s body language, in particular, drew a wave of scrutiny. One Facebook commenter claimed, “He pulled her back when she wanted to step forward probably to show off her lovely dress I see red flags all over this [sic].”
Another added, “Yeah, strange he doesn’t look lovingly at her. She turns to him several times and nothing…” One netizen commented, “What’s with his cold stare? & deliberate posing? i understand that its for Publicity, but she looks natural while he doesnt [sic].”
On TikTok, fans echoed similar feelings. One person wrote, “She looks so disappointed after he doesn’t look at her.” Another said, “He didn’t look adoringly at her. What a total let down,” and a third observed, “He didn’t look at her, that’s telling [sic].”
But not all reactions were negative. Many fans turned their attention to Gellar’s fashion, particularly her butterfly-embroidered dress. One admirer gushed, “The dress like a bunch of butterflies. I love it [sic].”
Another noted, “I love her dress. It reminds me of the cecropia moth. Those things are gigantic & pretty [sic].” Someone else enthused, “That butterfly dress is GORGEOUS 🔥🔥.”
Offscreen, Gellar and Prinze Jr. share a long history. They met on the set of the original “I Know What You Did Last Summer” and married on September 1, 2002, just months after co-starring in “Scooby-Doo: The Movie.”
The ceremony took place at a villa in the remote area of Costa Careyes, Mexico, with celebrity guests including Shannen Doherty and Wilmer Valderrama. They now share two kids, Charlotte and Rocky.
