We can’t believe it’s been two seasons since the leading man, McDreamy (played by Patrick Dempsey), was killed off on Grey’s Anatomy.

However, the show is still going on. Ellen Pompeo, who plays Meredith Grey, recently addressed a devoted audience of fans who have supported the cast through all 13 seasons.

Ellen met with “Grey’s Anatomy” fans as the show was screened at the 34th PaleyFest in Los Angeles. To no one’s surprise, the reception was pretty hot.

We were quite surprised to see Ellen in an Elie Saab jumpsuit. The brand is renowned for its breathtaking red carpet looks, especially when lace is involved, but this particular outfit didn’t quite hit the mark.

The dusty blue shade did nothing for Ellen’s complexion; even a bold red lip couldn’t salvage the look.

While we love the Christian Louboutin “Christeriva” sandals, which we’ve also seen on Camilla Belle, we aren’t fans of them paired with this outfit.

The clash between the geometric patterns and romantic lace doesn’t quite hit the mark. Plus, those hoop earrings aren’t helping either.

Unsettling outfit aside, we’re thrilled about the show’s season 14 renewal. Ellen declined to speculate on how many more seasons the show might run. Since the hit medical show “ER” wrapped up after 15 seasons, we’re hoping for at least 16 for this one.

During the interview, Ellen was careful not to give out show spoilers. The actress talked about how Meredith will try to get back up after losing a loved one — a storyline she felt was relatable to people from all walks of life.
