Walsh’s Paris Fashion Week wardrobe was much different than the scrubs she wore during her run at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital.

Her character, Addison Shepherd, was first introduced when the double board-certified OB/GYN appeared on the series trying to save her marriage to Derek Shepherd (played by Patrick Dempsey).

Unfortunately for her, Dr. McDreamy had already begun getting close to Meredith Gray (played by Ellen Pompeo), which prompted Addison’s exit.

However, all hope wasn’t lost — she ended landing up her very own spin-off, Private Practicefor six seasons before returning to the series in season 18 as a recurring character.

And in the real world, Walsh had her own happy ending, announcing in October 2022 that she was engaged to Australian Andrew Nixon.
