2009 New York Premiere of Nine

Nicole Kidman

I do need to note that, other than this unfortch HD issue, Nicole's head looks great here!

But I feel like this is weirdly understyled? A necklace would be too much perhaps? Does she need longer earrings? Will I end all of these sentences with a question mark?

Penelope Cruz

With the obvious note that we LOVED satin in 2009 -- she looks GREAT in this, and it's great on her.

Kate Hudson and Goldie Hawn

Both of these women are very cute and 11 years later and I still sort of want Kate to clip off her train.

Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen

I kind of love BOTH of these and I do need to admit that I appreciated 2009's affection for bracelets. Let's bring back your arm party!

Judi Dench

Elegant AND seasonal.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

Truly, if I were asked to conjure a 2009 Red Carpet Look out of thin air, this might be what emerged: platform heels and a bandage dress.

Zoe Kravitz

I'm not totally sure what Zoe is actually wearing here. Is it shorts?

Madonna

Classic Madge. (It was about this period of time that Madonna got very concerned about her hands and wore a lot of gloves. It IS hard to keep one's hands looking young. My own hands are those of a gnarled crone, much like my heart.)

Rachel Roy

I still kinda dig these shoes, to be totally frank.

Daniel Day-Lewis

A perfectly covetable coat.
