Alyssa Milano Debuts Whiplash Chic at WB’s 2002 Summer Party in LA • CelebMafia

Alyssa Milano dialed up early-aughts edge—strapless violet, belted greys, and a metallic clutch—at WB’s star-packed summer bash in Hollywood, July 2002.

There’s a kind of sartorial swagger that defined the early 2000s—low-slung belts, metallic accents, and silhouettes that flirted with rebellion. Alyssa Milano, ever the style chameleon, tapped into that energy at the WB Network’s 2002 Summer Party, held at the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel on July 13.

Her look? A study in contrasts. Milano wore a strapless purple top—tight, clean-lined, and unapologetically bold. The color, somewhere between plum and ultraviolet, caught the camera flashes like a nightclub strobe. Paired with wide-legged grey trousers, the outfit balanced structure with ease. But it was the wrap-around belt—looped, layered, and slightly askew—that gave the ensemble its whiplash chic. It wasn’t just an accessory; it was attitude.

She carried a metallic clutch, sleek and reflective, with a peek of green fabric inside—perhaps a scarf or a folded invite. The detail felt incidental, almost cinematic, like a prop in a Sofia Coppola frame. Her hair was styled in loose waves, parted down the middle, and her makeup leaned natural with a hint of gloss. No overkill, no overthinking.
