Even many of her fans don’t know that Abigail Spencer guest-starred as Blah Blah (actual name Carol) in two episodes of the American sitcom How I Met Your Mother (often abbreviated as HIMYM).

She appeared in “How I Met Everyone Else,” the fifth episode in the third season, and “Gary Blauman,” the 21st episode of the ninth season. Abigail’s character meets Ted Mosby (played by Josh Radnor) while playing World of Warcraft.

“How I Met Everyone Else” originally aired on October 22, 2007, when Abigail Spencer was 26-years-old. She was born on August 4, 1981, in Gulf Breeze, Florida. “Gary Blauman” aired on March 17, 2014, when she was 32-years-old.

Since Jennifer Lawrence’s infamous photobomb during Taylor Swift’s Golden Globes interview, more and more celebrities are taking a more relaxed approach to all the formalities happening backstage. Like…Abigail Spencer.

In January 2016, the “Suits” actress had her own moment on the red carpet before her epic photobomb at the 2016 People’s Choice Awards.

Abigail wore a red Alexa Maria dress, which she styled up with jewelry from Neil Lane, a clutch from Edie Parker, and a pair of black Stuart Weitzman “Legwrap” sandals.

Also, we love the Stuart Weitzman “Legwrap” sandals on their own, but we’re not sure we love them as part of this look.

Overall, we have mixed feelings about this look. The bodice of the dress fits amazingly on Abigail, but the skirt is a little too “Cinderella’s evil stepsister” for us.

Anyway — back to the photobomb. The actress took it upon herself to ruin the “Pretty Little Liars” cast group pic.

 

Photobomb! #flashback #PCAs
