New York — Cast of NINE and scores of other A-list celebrities came out last night to celebrate the New York Premiere of NINE.

Everything went smooth except for Nicole Kidman’s terrible make-up malfunction. Come to think of it, it’s totally not a big deal that Nicole looked like she dove into a pile of coke. We bet Nicole is thinking just the opposite. Nicole probably fired her make-up artist on the spot for ruining her publicity appearance.

Otherwise Nicole looked fabulous in a black strapless puff dress with black floral embellishments (believed to be Prada). Nicole accessorized with Fred Leighton jewels and her favorite Pierre Hardy patent leather slingbacks that she sported on the red carpet couple of times before, including at the Omega store opening on 5th Avenue in NYC in October 2009.

NEW YORK — Kate Hudson stopped by Late Show With David Letterman TV Show to promote her latest movie, a star-studded “NINE.” Certainly, Dave did not pass up the opportunity to ask questions about Kate and A-Rod, but those were more like rhetorical questions.

We were surprised a little to see Kate sporting monochromatic style. Kate Hudson, who usually goes for brighter fashion palette, opted for a fabulous black sequin mini dress with long sleeves, which she hid under cashmere Jasmine Di Milo Open Front Coat ($2139 via mytheresa.com – available in size 6UK/XXS) and accessorized with Brian Atwood Wagner Rivet suede pumps ($1485).

PARIS, FR — Rihanna attended Gareth Pugh Spring 2010 show during Paris Fashion Week on September 30, 2009. She wore Gareth Pugh Spring 2010 long sleeve turtleneck mini dress with sheer patches that she accessorized with thick wayfarers and a clutch. Rihanna enjoyed the show, which went beyond Pugh’s typical alien articulation, and later went backstage to congratulate the designer.

Rihanna’s dress represents one cool fall trend. Long sleeves transformed her mini dress into versatile garment for fall. This dress will work for day and for night. It can be worn on its own or styled with tights, leather jacket, wide or skinny belt and booties (even with thigh high boots).

There are quite a few affordable variations of the long sleeve mini dress available for sale:

T by Alexander Wang Stretch Long Sleeve Dress $90.

Ella Moss Leighton Dress in Black [sold out, was $162].

Anne Klein Boat Neck Dress $73.99, was $99.
