Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Sunset Noir for 1997 Slasher Promo

In a cut-out black dress against a burning sky, Sarah Michelle Gellar embodied late-’90s scream queen glamour—equal parts elegance and eerie foreshadowing.

In September 1997, as I Know What You Did Last Summer geared up for its theatrical release, Sarah Michelle Gellar appeared in a series of promotional stills that captured the film’s haunting tone with editorial precision. One standout image—shot outdoors at sunset—features Gellar in a black dress with cut-out detailing, her silhouette framed by a sky streaked in orange and violet.
