This is a truly snazzy suit on Tom, and he should pull it out again soon. (With a more modern belt, obviously.)

Mimi, meanwhile, was ABSOLUTELY DRAPED in velvet. (They were not married at this point. Fun fact: Mimi is the one who brought Tom into Scientology, because she grew up in the organization. She and her family have since left the church and the rumor is that David Miscavige orchestrated the Mimi/Tom divorce because he wanted Tom to marry Nicole Kidman. We all know how that worked out!)

Here is Tom Cruise in a bolo tie, and Mimi in an outfit you could absolutely wear now. (In case you're wondering where we are in the Tom Cruise Career Arc, Color of Money and Top Gun came out the same year.

## Steve Rubell, Paul Newman, and Joanne Woodward

Do not ask me why Studio 54's Steve Rubell was at this event! But here he is with Paul -- looking gorgeous at sixty one years of age -- and Joanne, who looks deliciously kooky and rather cozy.

## Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio

Just FYI, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio made some truly amazing wardrobe choices for these premieres and I am BEREFT we can't see this whole outfit. I was 11 in 1986 and this was MY. DREAM. LOOK.

I also need to know more about this. What shoes were you wearing, Mary Elizabeth?

## Gary Marshall & Penny Marshall

I believe Penny's dress is denim.

## Cornelia Guest, Halston, and Andy Warhol

I MEAN! THIS IS A PREMIERE.

JENNIFER BEALS, THIS OUTFIT!!

I NEED to know what color Diandra's ensemble is. It could be a calm camel color, it could be hot pink. It was 1986!

## Farley Granger and Shelley Winters

Just as an FYI, [Shelley Winters wrote one of the great celebrity autobiographies](https://amzn.to/30K7L3o?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io); if I recall correctly (not having read it in 30 years), t is SINCERELY dishy.

## Robert Duvall

In which Robert Duvall looks just like you'd expect him to look! (This also prompted me to check if Robert Duvall is dead, and good news: Not yet.)

## Mariel Hemingway

And Mariel Hemingway looks just like you expect Mariel Hemingway to look.

## Barbara De Fina and Martin Scorsese

They BOTH look like they have regrets. (Martin Scorsese directed the film; she produced it and was, at this point, married to him.

## Richard Dreyfuss and (then wife) Jeramie Rain

Richard Dreyfuss looks vaguely like a professorial cocaine dealer; Jeremie Rain could sincerely wear her dress tomorrow and tell everyone it is Rodarte. (I love it.)

## Tony Danza and Tracy Danza

Tony Danza is PEAK Tony here.

## Jane Fonda

This particular event was at Chasen's Restaurant in Beverly Hills, which of course used to host a VERY famous post-Oscars party every year, and at which Elizabeth Taylor used to spend like THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS on chili to be shipped to her place in Mexico. It is now a Bristol Farms. Also: Let's talk about Jane's bag. I thought it was a tiny musical instrument.

## Daphne Zuniga

Daphne Zuniga had such a thick fringe here that, at first glance, I thought she was wearing a hat.

## Emilio Estevez

Sometimes Emilio REALLY resembles his father.

## Helen Shaver

Helen is in this film, and was a Canadian actress who has worked a lot, but is now mostly a TV director -- like a proper director, on things like Westwood and Lovecraft County and Reign and The OC. ANYWAY, this outfit IS AMAZING and I NEED her to weigh in on it. It's obviously lunacy from our current vantage point, but it was AWESOME in 1986 and I also think Lady Gaga could show up in it now and we'd all be into it.

This is all VERY 1986.

## Soleil Moon Frye and brother Meeno Peluce

Punky Brewster, this party is past your bedtime!

## John Lithgow and son Ian Lithgow

John Lithgow looks perfectly Lithgowian here.

## Bianca Jagger and some Dude

Bianca Jagger looks GLAM AS CAN BE here.

## Madeline Kahn and guest

I feel like Madeline Kahn is about to elbow "and guest" here.

## Regis Philbin and Joy Philbin

I don't know about you, but this is literally how Regis looked in my head for all time, and continues to look. 1986 Regis is PEAK Regis for me.

## Vincent Spano and date

Vincent Spano was very handsome in 1986 and I am HERE for his date's crimped hair and heavy bangs.

## Bonnie Franklin

I WILL take it one day at a time, Bonnie. (She's wearing red high top sneakers with this, right? Let's just say yes.)
