Filming at Fern Canyon: A Childhood Role in a Dino Classic
Born on October 2, 1986, she was about to turn 10 when filming began on September 5, 1996, at Fern Canyon, part of California’s Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park.
Sue Moore was the costume designer for The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997). She designed the outfits, including Cathy’s pale yellow sundress with playful embroidered details.

According to John Hammond, the former CEO of InGena, who Richard Attenborough portrays, Cathy Bowman survived the attack.
From her early days running from dinosaurs on-screen to making bold style statements on the red carpet, Camilla Belle has grown into a confident fashion presence. More than a decade after her breakout role, she proved just how far her style had evolved at a high-profile Los Angeles event.

Why the Look Missed the Mark—But the Shoes Stole the Show
The look wasn’t ugly, but it did add a few extra years to her appearance.

We’re not sure if it was the print, the color, or a combination of both, but the lace-front drop-hem dress didn’t quite flatter her figure.
However, we love Camilla’s wooden Ralph Lauren wedges, which put her perfectly pedicured feet on display and added a stylish lift to her 5-foot-7½ frame, boosting her height to well over 5’11”.
