Melissa Joan Hart is going vintage for Independence Day once again!
The 46-year-old actress celebrated the holiday by paying homage to a two-decade-old dress that has always stayed true to her.
She sported the infamous red, no-sleeve number — which features an eagle front and center — in a carousel of photos she shared on Instagram Monday. Her post demonstrated just how many times she's proudly worn the piece throughout the years.
Kicking things off with a selfie, the Melissa & Joey star also included a snap of her wearing the dress while donning a baby bump, holding up an American flag, appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and seemingly posing beside Hilary Duff and Bryan Cranston.
"The eagle dress has landed. 🦅," she wrote of the piece before sharing "a little history about the dress that has decorated my always changing shape for 21 years now."

Hart said she first bought the dress in Melbourne, Australia back in 2000, before debuting it on Jay Leno's late-night show. She explained that it was "after 9/11 when I only wore red, white and blue for the better part of a year."
