Stephen Frears, Glenn Close, John Malkovich, and Uma Thurman

As a heads-up, Michelle Pfeiffer didn't attend any of these premieres -- she was in the middle of filming The Fabulous Baker Boys.
John Malkovich and Glenn Close

I would sincerely bet $50 that Glenn's suede jacket here is from Banana Republic, which at the time was deep into selling things that rich people might find themselves coveting after two viewings of Out of Africa. FWIW, that's a compliment and also they're basically selling this again RIGHT NOW and it's really gorge. (That's an affiliate link.)

The Malk is ATTACHED to a knit vest. Uma looks so professional and low key.

Everything about this is just PEAK Keanu.

Is Candice wearing a mini-dress or a weird tunic top? The answer is lost to the winds of time! (Well, she could probably tell us.)
Willem Dafoe and Donna Mills

One of the most fun parts of writing these throwback posts is researching people's personal lives and that's how I can tell you that they were NOT seemingly dating. How do Donna Mills and Willem Dafoe know each other? Was he a mega-fan of Knots Landing? Did they just run into each other in the parking lot? She DOES look weary of his facial hair.
Herb Ross and Lee Radziwill

Is it weird that I'd wear Marty's blazer today?
Lee Remick

Lee Remick is going to haunt me tonight to tell me she thinks this photo is VERY silly. And I'll tell her that she still looks gorgeous in it.
Cathy Lee Crosby

This outfit has aged VERY well and this also reminds me that I really liked That's Incredible! as a kid.
David Byrne of Talking Heads

I feel like David Byrne owes us larger shoulder pads here.
