Look at this lovely person and tell me it's that hard, people. I wish this fit a bit better, but she's a damn fox in it anyway. ## Christina Applegate ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/78632_90988107-640x975-1568934868.jpg) This looks like it was draped on the fly. ## Mindy Kaling ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/shutterstock_editorial_1005869bj-1568934632.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Picture Perfect/Shutterstock (1005869bj) Mindy Kaling 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, America - 20 Sep 2009 Out of all the 2009 flashback posts we've done, Mindy's makeup looks the best in this one, FINALLY. I like the dress, too. And please behold the BRACELETS. She knew. ## Sarah Silverman ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/78482_90989205-640x960-1568934981.jpg) This looks like a very limp period costume. ## Julia Louis-Dreyfus ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/shutterstock_editorial_1005804gd-1568934435.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Peter Brooker/Shutterstock (1005804gd) Julia Louis-Dreyfus 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, America - 20 Sep 2009 Fabulous, as always. ## Vanessa Williams ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/shutterstock_editorial_1005838fm-1568934501.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Matt Baron/BEI/Shutterstock (1005838fm) Vanessa Williams 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, America - 20 Sep 2009 I'll say it again: COME BACK TO TV, VANESSA. We'll find you a bitchy, soapy part. Your eyebrow-raising skills must not be wasted. ## Victoria Rowell ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/78471_90991335-640x918-1568934969.jpg) This really does look like a souvenir blanket she bought on Etsy. ## Mary Louise Parker ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/78582_90990333-640x980-1568934801.jpg) She was nominated for *Weeds* (she lost to Toni Collette, whose photo I don't have for some reason). This might have worked better if it were floor-length. ## Padma Lakshmi ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/78661_90985472-640x974-1568934893.jpg) I believe here her cleavage has won first prize somewhere. ## Ginnifer Goodwin ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/78662_90998966-640x1133-1568934906.jpg) I didn't really like this at the time. My heart has softened. ## Mila Kunis ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/shutterstock_editorial_1005838y-1568934565.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Matt Baron/BEI/Shutterstock (1005838y) Mila Kunis 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, America - 20 Sep 2009 There's a shadow in this photo that makes it look like she's wearing a choker; thankfully that doesn't seem to be the case. This is fine, but I feel like... the role of this person in this basic dress soon thereafter was handed to Sarah Hyland. ## Sigourney Weaver ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/78682_90991390-640x1024-1568934918.jpg) Yes MA'AM. ## Hayden Panettiere ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/shutterstock_editorial_1005869an-1568934602.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Picture Perfect/Shutterstock (1005869an) Hayden Panettiere 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, America - 20 Sep 2009 She is so talented, and I always worry about her. The dress is a jumble, but I'd take it in exchange for her being back on my TV and happy. ## Carrie Preston ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/shutterstock_editorial_1005869gv-1568934702.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Picture Perfect/Shutterstock (1005869gv) Carrie Preston 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, America - 20 Sep 2009 She looks phenomenal. ## Cobie Smulders ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/shutterstock_editorial_1006727ab-1568934726.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Unimedia/Shutterstock (1006727ab) Cobie Smulders 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, America - 20 Sep 2009 Interestingly, [we just featured her in a red dress that ALSO needed a hoik](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/cobie-smulders-made-a-real-sleeve-choice-here-09-2019/). But not as badly as this one does. ## Jennifer Morrison ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/78622_90986014-640x960-1568934854.jpg) Oh, girl. We didn't know the years of bad outfits we had ahead of us. GOOD TIMES. ## Blake and Leighton ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2019/09/78501_90989652-640x901-1568935020.jpg) A classic! We have Leighton Meester wearing a WHOLE LOT more makeup than she needs, in a dress that looks like she used bedsheets to try and make a flotation aid, and we have Blake Lively doing such strong Boobs Legsly that we can actually SEE the thread that's purporting to hold her skirt together. ## Kim Kardashian ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/78492_90986736-640x960-1568935007.jpg) Kim was having a hard time peering out under the weight of her eyelashes, but let's admit it: The dress works, and if she wore it now, we'd be like, "IT'S A BREAKTHROUGH." ## January Jones ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/78512_90988630-640x978-1568935033.jpg) Betty Draper's art-deco bodice is cool, but this ALSO needs a hoik, and perhaps a necklace. ## Olivia Wilde ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/78532_90985396-640x960-1568934752.jpg) Was this the year she turned up first to everything? I believe it was, and I thought to myself, "I would bet a bean that this is Marchesa," and it IS, so hooray, I get to keep both my kids. ## Sandra Oh ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/shutterstock_editorial_1005838aa-1568934488.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Matt Baron/BEI/Shutterstock (1005838aa) Sandra Oh 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, America - 20 Sep 2009 Don't you sometimes wish you could reach through the screen and be like, "Psst, Sandra, in 2019 you will be the toast of the town again." ## Rose Byrne in Valentino ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/78732_90989214-640x907-1568934954.jpg) I was going to guess Elie Saab for this one; I would have been wrong. She was there for Damages. Little did I know how funny she is. I would tell 2009 Rose Byrne that she's going to be GREAT in *Spy*. ## Holly Hunter ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/shutterstock_editorial_1005838go-1568934554.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Matt Baron/BEI/Shutterstock (1005838go) Holly Hunter 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, America - 20 Sep 2009 She looks great in that, and probably could and would still wear it today. ## Kate Walsh ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/78611_90987529-640x955-1568934836.jpg) Ah, Addison Montgomery. This dress's side draping ended up looking odder in motion. This is making me miss classic Grey's. ## Drew Barrymore ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/78522_90991076-640x991-1568934742.jpg) Drew was there for Grey Gardens, and needs a major necklace IMMEDIATELY (ten years ago). Someone remedy that! It's never too late. ## Chloe Sevigny ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/78542_90998557-640x1471-1568934763.jpg) I love this -- it's one of my favorite things she's ever worn. And while that may be some slim competition, the fact remains that the dots over the gentle yellow sheath are great. Linings: THEY WORK. ## Jennifer Love Hewitt ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/shutterstock_editorial_1005869fe-1568934674.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Picture Perfect/Shutterstock (1005869fe) Jennifer Love Hewitt 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, America - 20 Sep 2009 I could tell 2009 JLH that she's going to be on a crisis-of-the-week show with ANGELA FREAKING BASSETT and she'd probably be like, "Nice try." ## Ellen Burstyn ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/shutterstock_editorial_1005869as-1568934617.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Picture Perfect/Shutterstock (1005869as) Ellen Burstyn 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, America - 20 Sep 2009 This all seems exactly as it should be. ## Jeanne Tripplehorn ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/shutterstock_editorial_1005869ah-1568934590.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Picture Perfect/Shutterstock (1005869ah) Jeanne Tripplehorn 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, America - 20 Sep 2009 She looks super. It also feels very in-character for Barb from *Big Love* to be the comparatively sensible one. ## Elisabeth Moss ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/78591_90985593-640x960-1568934814.jpg) She was nominated for *Mad Men*. Her dresses have improved a LOT in the years between that and her current spate of nominations. ## Jennifer Carpenter ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/shutterstock_editorial_1005869ag-1568934576.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Picture Perfect/Shutterstock (1005869ag) Jennifer Carpenter 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, America - 20 Sep 2009 She looks dishy in this. ## Sarah MacLachlan ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/78562_90991670-640x988-1568934794.jpg) Apologies, Sarah, but... I did NOT remember you. ## Lisa Edelstein ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/shutterstock_editorial_1005869dw-1568934660.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Picture Perfect/Shutterstock (1005869dw) Lisa Edelstein 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, America - 20 Sep 2009 This is a French Maid costume writ formal. ## Tina Fey ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/shutterstock_editorial_1005804fe-1568934423.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Peter Brooker/Shutterstock (1005804fe) Tina Fey 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, America - 20 Sep 2009 Yep. ## Amy Poehler ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/shutterstock_editorial_1005808ce-1568934447.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Jim Smeal/BEI/Shutterstock (1005808ce) Amy Poehler 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, America - 20 Sep 2009 A TOUCH exuberant with the tanning spray, Ames. ## Heidi Klum ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/shutterstock_editorial_1005869fn-1568934688.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Picture Perfect/Shutterstock (1005869fn) Heidi Klum 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, America - 20 Sep 2009 She would NEVER be this covered up today. There isn't even a slit! ## Alyson Hannigan ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/shutterstock_editorial_1005869hd-1568934713.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Picture Perfect/Shutterstock (1005869hd) Alyson Hannigan 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, America - 20 Sep 2009 She looks contagiously happy. ## Blake Lively ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/78551_90999846-640x1468-1568934774.jpg) Blake appears to have changed for the post-party into some expensive shrink-wrap. ## AnnaLynne McCord ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/78561_90998428-640x1426-1568934785.jpg) OLD FRIEND. You know, she turned out to be pretty funny on the terrible *90210* CW reboot. This dress is not worthy of her. ## Glenn Close ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/shutterstock_editorial_1005838fp-1568934533.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Matt Baron/BEI/Shutterstock (1005838fp) Glenn Close 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, America - 20 Sep 2009 She won for Damages, cool as you please. This feels very Frances McDormand of her, almost. ## Thomas Jane and Patricia Arquette ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/09/78491_90988975-640x960-1568934994.jpg) Remember how they were married? You do now. [Flashback Fug: The 2009 EmmysI love a retrospective in the morning. And the afternoon, and evening.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2019/09/78501_90989652-640x901-1568935020.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/flashback-fug-the-2009-emmys-09-2019/)
