Fug or Fab: Evanna Lynch

Fug file:

The last few times we saw Evanna Lynch around these parts, she was encased in a plaid sack and wearing oversized pants that may have belonged to someone homeless, or to Rupert Grint (sometimes it's hard to tell the difference). So I'd call this a massive step in the right direction for her...

... right up until we get to her ankles. On the whole I prefer shoes that don't give the illusion that the wearer only recently broke free from captivity in someone's basement.

However, credit where credit is due: She almost pulls them off, given that they don't make her look nearly as cankletastic as I would've expected from what amounts to little more than a pair of leather socks. Sniffle. So even though her coat dress is a tad baby-doll and I am loath to throw my support behind her footwear, on the whole our little Luna Lovegood is all grown up and brushing her hair and EVERYTHING. You guys, I think she just might make it after all.

FROM THE DIARY OF EMMA WATSON
On the night of the New York premiere of Harry Potter

Dear Diary,

Tonight was fantastic...for ME. My shoes were adorable, my dress was charming (even IF stupid Tom Felton told me he thought the bodice looked a BIT like a face. What does he know? It's still cute) and I essentially looked like an adorable young lady unlikely to bring shame upon my family in the manner of so many other starlets. I am proud of me! But, diary, I am VERY concerned about the boys. Dan has followed up his toggle suit disaster with this shiny thing with piping (PIPING, DIARY!) and Rupert has backslid terribly. He looked so handsome in his suit last time and the suit he wore tonight was actually LOVELY and I even could have lived with this tee shirt -- you know how Rupert is! He's casual! It's okay -- but his shoes were wretched, diary. It's like he HIKED to the premiere! What am I going to do with these two? Why won't they accept my help? Sigh. Boys.

Unfug It Up: Emma Watson

Fug file:

This one is fairly simple, Fug Nation -- or at least I think so -- but I am throwing it open to you anyway. Emma Watson is SO adorable and SO the anti-Lohan that I just want her to knock it out of the proverbial ball park every time; if I happen to be seated eating a hot dog and drinking bad beer out of a plastic cup when she does it, so much the better. Unfortunately, as much as I want to, I can't give this my full endorsement.

[Photo: Splash News]

It's like she wrapped a beach cover-up over a tank top, and then got drunk and went shoe-shopping. I'm not sure how else to explain those -- seriously, they are the color of those kidney-bean-shaped emesis basins that sit in hospital rooms, waiting for you to puke up the Jell-O you just ate. I am a little afraid she borrowed them from Daniel Radcliffe, who is clearly suffering from some kind of head injury that puts him on obedient auto-pilot anytime some dipshit with a toggle shows up at his front door.

The dress part has potential, but it's hard to see it when I'm being blinded by the rest. Clearly, I'd start a makeover with her feet: Avada Kedavra the hell out of those pink bastards and go with one of the chunky strappy sandals that all the kids love these days, or a cute pair of flats -- maybe even gold ones to play off her purse strap. And I'd like to see the dress without the tank, although I do so love Emma in color that I'd long for the chance to see if the polka-dot pattern worked even better in a hue. She's great in blue.

But what would you do? Get out your magic wands and wave them, although be careful if your co-workers are standing behind you trying to peek at what the hell is making you whip your arms around in the air like you just don't care. You don't want to maim anything except what's not working about this outfit.

Fuggatrix Lestrange

Fug file:

If life were a soap opera -- and I personally wish it were, because if you ask me, not nearly enough people skulk around during a murder investigation clutching hidden guns and books that say How To Kill Your Sister, only to find out that she's fake-dead and an amnesiac who's been living on an island with some dude who turns out to be her fiance's brother, who has a brain fog that means you can't tell him anything vaguely vexing or else his head will explode -- then I think we'd soon discover that Helena Bonham Carter has been living in secret as Bellatrix Lestrange's long-lost twin.

Unfortunately they were switched at birth, and the one who was SUPPOSED to be raised evil -- let's call her Hellatrix -- instead went to a family of Deadwood-loving bubblegum enthusiasts who encouraged their daughter to embrace things like castle-handbags, puppies, tulle, and men with real noses who aren't afraid to cry, and grew up to become a dotty librarian by day and a barmaid at a country-dancing saloon by night. But Hellatrix and Bellatrix do at least both favor that special fresh-out-of-Azkaban coif, so you can tell they're related and will find their way back to one another in an explosively psychotic reunion chronicled by J.K. Rowling and the BBC, and probably Wolf Blitzer on CNN, in a special called "Lestranger Than Fiction."

Alas, since life has NOT yet collided with fantasy and/or the once-glorious NBC daytime drama lineup, none of that will come to pass. Not for lack of Helena trying, though.

Well Played, Bonnie Wright

Fug file:

Harry Potter

Okay. How cute is Bonnie "Ginny Weasley" Wright?

I feel so protective of the Harry Potter kids anyway -- I can't help it; I've tried -- that it's a huge relief when they show up for an event without looking like they were styled by someone under the Dark Lord's thrall. Which means I am maybe extra happy to see Ginny Weasley in such a cute, age appropriate, flattering little frock. AND her hair is so pretty and shiny. She can just remind herself of these facts when nutball Harry/Hermione 'shippers throw rocks at her for stealing DanRad from Emma Watson. You know, fictionally speaking. Shiny hair and a cute dress can't solve all your problems, but they CAN make you feel better about some of them.

Harry Potter and the Half-Fug Prince

Fug file:

RUPERT GRINT: Dude. Apparently my getting swine flu brought with it a previously unpublicized side effect: I no longer show up to premieres looking like I just rolled out of bed! Now I wish I'd gotten it earlier!

J.K. ROWLING: I'm a gazillionaire. And this color looks great on me. AND I'm not working on a crazy deadline anymore. How awesome are things for me right now? Pretty awesome.

EMMA WATSON: I am ALSO pretty. Tonight is going SO WELL! What a relief!

DAN RADCLIFFE: Oh god. Am I....wearing a suit that closes with a TOGGLE?

RUPERT: I look charming and Dan's suit closes with a toggle! AT LAST RON WEASLEY COMES OUT ON TOP! Come on, everyone! How about a rousing round of "Weasley Is Our King!"

JO: I wonder who talked Dan into that toggle-closure. Was he Confunded in his dressing room? I mean, if that were real.

EMMA: Poor Dan. Someone's going to need to buy that boy a drink. He looks so alarmed. I told him not to go for the toggle. Why doesn't he listen to me? What HAPPENED with him?

DAN: What HAPPENED to me? Is there any way I can blame this on dark magic? Think, Radcliffe! THINK!

Fug or Fab the Cover: Emma Watson

Fug file:

Elle,
Harry Potter

We have gotten many a concerned email about this cover from readers, and I must admit that I feel you. But not really because of Emma, so much -- her face looks great, I think, and the rocker girl hair is a fun change from Hermione Granger (not that I don't love you, Hermione). We don't get to see her look hot very often and this is a nice youthful hot that doesn't feel all awkward. It's more that I am totally weirded out by the office stool they're making her straddle. This photo feels like....well, picture it: you're sitting at your desk at Elle, just minding your own business. You know your wacky officemate Emma Watson is off in the beauty closet, doing something. But she totally surprises you when she straddles her office chair and pushes herself across the room to your desk to pay you a visit and show off her hilarious/fierce Chanel get-up and massive eyeliner. You pick up the Polaroid on your desk and take a few jokey pictures of her. (If this were a movie, a montage would break out, obviously.) And this is like your jokey montage pictures somehow landed on the cover of Elle. Which would be fine if she wasn't on an office chair. It's just...weird to me. Also, that bodice looks like a chalice, but who am I to argue?

Harry Fugter and the Fug-Blood Prince

Fug file:

Emma Watson had a Rodarte event to go to, so clearly, she felt obligated to deck herself out in some borrowed gladrags from the designers. Usually that must be an awesome perk of the job, but Emma doesn't look super convinced by the one she ended up with:

[Photo: WENN.com]

It's like the shabby-chic beauty-pageant stepsister to the one Natalie Portman wore to promote The Other Boleyn Girl. I keep expecting the blue sash to SAY something, like maybe Miss Teen Rock Opera 2009, acknowledging her excellent achievement in managing to look a bit like the sort of trendy biker-boho-ballerina you'd find running around on-stage singing "Somebody To Love" in We Will Rock You. All she's missing is some combat boots and a dodgy script.

Fugly Potter and the Half-Fug Prince

Fug file:

Somehow this week, an Emma Watson photo I thought about posting slipped through the cracks of my porous, jagged mind. Let's examine.

It may be easier to address this from the bottom up: Those shoes are, in the immortal words of Her Highness Victoria Beckham, MAJOR. I can't hate 'em. The skirt pleating could be really cute, if it were attached to a bodice that flowed with the theme, rather than looking like she is wearing her leotard for the Great Britain Gymnastics Squad tucked into it. Although I suppose one never does know when an orgy of vaulting will break out at a party, so it's good to be prepared. And Emma embracing the uneven bars WOULD explain why she looks a bit skinny. It's hard to tell with her, because she's always been tiny, but either she's getting crazy about dieting or she just ought not wear an outfit this snug ever again so as not to worry us that she's totally given up on food she has to chew.

Finally: The hair. I have to say, I quite like it on her, but I have read complaints that she's an unfortunate victim of The Rachel (their words, not mine). I guess it does look a bit like Jennifer Aniston's famed 'do, but -- another confession here -- I didn't hate The Rachel, either. Remember those days, back when Jennifer Aniston had curves and Joey wasn't bloated and we weren't watching Matthew Perry's weight balloon up and down depending on whether he was rehabbing? Sigh. Good times. Good, innocent times.

Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson, YOU GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW.

[Photo: Splash News]

How DARE you go traipsing around Paris being photographed in adorable coats and cute jackets and pants that make me want to run right out and shop for winter clothes. Don't you realize that it's approximately eleventy degrees Fahrenheit in my L.A. neighborhood? To the point where the air-conditioning in my car only cools off whatever parts of me it's hitting directly, because the outside heat is so oppressive that the rest of the vehicle stays hot? Why are you hurting me this way?

I mean, seriously, that jacket looks good on you:
