Season 16 of "The Bachelorette" premieres on October 13 on ABC.
In honor of Clare Crawley's journey to find love, we found what almost every "Bachelorette" star wore on that fateful first night at the iconic "Bachelor" mansion driveway ... or in Crawley's case, the La Quinta resort.
Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of sequins, glitter, and metallics.

After months and months of waiting, it's finally time to see how Clare Crawley's journey to find love plays out — and perhaps someone else's journey as well.

Her season officially begins on October 13 and photos have already been released from her first night as the lead, where she met her 31 suitors.

She looked beautiful, just like the "Bachelorette" stars before her. To celebrate the start of the season and everyone's favorite episode, we've found what 15 out of 16 bachelorettes — photos are unavailable for Jen Schefft's season — wore on the beginning of their journeys.

Keep scrolling to take a stroll down memory lane, from Trista Rehn to Clare.

Trista (then) Rehn was our very first "Bachelorette" star. Her night one look is much more understated than they would soon become.

Meredith Phillips was the star of the second season. Her dress was a little more glamorous with the glittering detailing on the back.

DeAnna Pappas' dress was more daring than her predecessors' dresses. She wore a plunging neckline.

Jillian Harris' dress on her first night as the lead was all about the back.

Ali Fedotowsky chose a simple black gown, and as a result blended in with her suitors. It's now easy to understand why leads are decked out in sequins ...

Ashley Hebert rocked a jewel-encrusted dress on the first night of her season — it's a trend that lives on to this day.

The color of Emily Maynard's dress also became a popular choice among the leading ladies.

Kaitlyn Bristowe and Britt Nilsson wore black and white dresses, respectively. We can't help but feel that their color choices were intentional — Nilsson was the traditional America's sweetheart, while Bristowe was more sarcastic.
