Dressed to the Nines 盛裝—dressed very stylishly with nothing overlooked, wearing very fashionable or expensive clothes

Examples:

  • She showed up at the picnic dressed to the nines.
  • Clare is usually dressed to the nines in order to impress people.

Demi Moore staged a family reunion at a friends’ wedding in Denver, Colorado, over the weekend.

The actress and her look-alike daughters — Rumer, 28, Scout, 25, and Tallulah Willis, 23 — were dressed to the nines for the affair, and couldn’t help but pose for a few cute photos.

黛咪摩爾周末跟女兒團聚,參加丹佛市一個朋友的婚禮。她和她三個長得很像的女兒,28歲的茹茉,25歲的史考特和23歲的塔璐拉都盛裝出席,當然也有拍幾張很可愛的合照。

Ivanka Trump was criticized after she posted pictures of herself and husband Jared Kushner dressed to the nines —she is in a $5,000 silvery gown by Carolina Herrera— just as chaos and protests erupted at international airports over President Trump’s just-signed order barring refugees and travelers from some Muslim countries.

伊凡卡川普在Instagram上貼了她自己和老公盛裝的照片,她身穿設計師卡羅琳娜海萊拉價值五千美元的晚禮服,遭到不少批評。當時美國川普總統才剛剛簽署新的移民法案,禁止一些回教徒為主的國家的難民和旅客進入美國,此舉在美國以及世界各地許多機場都造成混亂並且引爆抗議。
