Suddenly, it's 1997 again and we're slightly (and by slightly, we mean super) overjoyed that Cameron Diaz isn't standing inbetween these two meant-to-be lovers. Yes, meant to be. That ending was just unfair.

Julia Roberts confessed that she "rarely" does red carpet appearances now, but we're so thankful she decided for it this time around, because it was the perfect opportunity to give us a flashback of the romantic comedy My Best Friend's Wedding.

The A-list star posed alongside her former (and now, once again) costar Dermot Mulroney during the New York premiere of their film August: Osage County (sponsored by DeLeon Tequila). The pair were all smiles as Mulroney looked dapper in a suit and longer hair, while Roberts stunned in a deep dress.

The film adaptation of Tracy Letts' play focuses on an estranged Oklahoma family coming together for a funeral, and includes a star-studded cast. Along with Roberts and Mulroney, Chris Cooper, Benedict Cumberbatch, Juliette Lewis, Abigail Breslin, Ewan McGregor costar in the flick, with Meryl Streep playing the lead role as the family's dysfunctional matriarch.

"Well, it's great because you are able to see the rhythms of people, and John Wells, our director, really wanted us to kind of imitate each other in that family way," Roberts told E! News at the 2013 Hollywood Film Awards on Monday, Oct. 21 in Beverly Hills.

"Where like, my sister and I, we don't look alike. But as soon as we start telling stories, we look like the same person. So he wanted that sense in our movie, which I think was really important, so the more time we spent together and watched each other, it would become second nature."

The film is up for three SAG Awards, with Meryl Streep in the Best Actress race, Julia Roberts nominated for Best Supporting Actress and the film noted for its ensemble performance by a cast. Streep and Roberts were each also nominated for a Golden Globe for their roles in the movie.
