This Kim Raver moment just gave another for the books; straight-out enviable with its immaculate vibe. A sun-kissed shot from Paris where the actress shared her lunch with longtime friend and fellow actor Dan Bucatinsky triggered nostalgia, admiration, and a fair bit of wanderlust.

The frame captures Raver and Bucatinsky in effortless perfection-matching sunglasses and smiles, just outside a quaint café where lush greenery and pops of red flowers set as perfectly quaint as city charm. It is the kind that immediately mills the idea of booking a flight or just daydreaming about croissants and cobblestone paths.
But the pic represented the vibe, and the comment section was little drama. One excited fan set the ball rolling by talking about one of Bucatinsky’s unforgettable Grey’s Anatomy story arcs-the partner of an opera singer with lung cancer-a storyline that still aches for long-term viewers. “Who remembers him from season 6 of Grey’s?” they asked, fiercely starting the mini-thread of emotional flashbacks.
Kate Walsh had to come up. Apparently, if Kim Raver is in Paris, she must be checking if her Grey’s and Lipstick Jungle co-star is also there. “You and Kate are in Paris while I’m in Greece??” lamented one fan. Another straightforwardly asked, “Have you seen Kate Walsh??” The obsession is real.
With the mention of Lipstick Jungle, there was an energy shift in the comment section as another eager commenter chimed in, “Lipstick Jungle date with my amazing friend!” followed by, “GAG IT!” in all caps-translation, please.
Not everybody was down remembering the good ‘ol days. Some just wanted a rare chance to shine in Raver’s glow, with one loud voice saying, “YOU ARE SOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!” while another said, “The smile suits you well.” And the one from France extended an invitation to Dunkirk.
The question on everybody’s lips is, “Why is everyone currently in Paris?” One user even went ahead and tagged Kate Walsh’s fan page, half-joking, half-serious, “Why am I not in Paris?” These people are dripping with FOMO.
While a Ray Donovan fan picked that moment to throw in the absolutely random but insanely iconic quote from the show—”What the FUCK did you do?”—because, really, why not? Anarchy rules on the Internet, and for some inexplicable reason, Raver’s post became a conduit for it all.
But, you know, the happy thought is just: Kim Raver is living her best life in Paris, looking like a million bucks, and upping our travel envy. And if the comments section is anything to go by, her followers are raring to ride with her-annoyingly reminiscing through throwbacks, begging for Walsh sightings, and gushing over her glow-up.
