Fug Over Heels

Fug file:

dress over pants

Remember when Monica Potter here was all poised to be the next big thing? Yes, you do. The phrase, "the next Julia Roberts" was thrown around with abandon? Remember? She was in Patch Adams? Which I have blessedly avoided, and plan to continue avoiding for the rest of my life. And then she was in the Freddy Prinze Jr movie, Head Over Heels, in which she played a dowdy -- excuse me, a "dowdy" -- art restorer who lives with four supermodels, whose apartment overlooks Freddy's, and they think he might be a murderer, and Monica still has a total crush on him even though she sort of saw him kill a girl? And Freddy is of course not actually a murderer, but an FBI agent investigating the Russian Mafia? (I know. Take a moment to compose yourself.) Don't front: we've ALL seen that movie, and none of us in the theater.

I can't help but look at this particular get up and wonder how it would fare in a supermodel-led makeover montage. Between you and me, I think those pants are doomed.

dress over pants

Are we STILL wearing dresses over pants, Diane "Loveline" Farr? SERIOUSLY?

I mean, sister, at least move on to a jumpsuit.

I find it very easy to forgive Girl On Smallville for wearing a dress over jeans:

The continued production of Smallville makes ME feel like it's 2003 ALSO.

Met Ball Fug Carpet: Leighton Meester

Fug file:

Possibly the best thing that happened to me yesterday was the beginning of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's annual costume ball, because I have never seen a more glorious combination of high fashion and head injuries. It was magnificent. About every ten seconds, Jessica and I would fire another IM to each other that said some close variation of the following: "OH MY GOD, [Insert Celebrity Name Here]. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

We burned many an ellipsis on Leighton Meester here, and used block letters to the point where we should've just hit Caps Lock to keep from scratching the word "Shift" off of that key.

WHAT. IS. THIS? Were it MERELY the dress part, I could perhaps overlook the overall color palette evoking the disaster that ensues when children mix their watercolors. But no. It's not just the dress. It's the red metallic leggings with paisley lace creeping down them like a rare and woeful skin disease, all of which contribute to Leighton looking like she's wearing a matador's living-room wallpaper. Not to mention the twee shoes with ankle bows, and the kind of hair you'd see on a kid making her first communion. Precisely what Leighton is communing with here -- other than possibly a large vat of Elmer's Glue emitting potent brain-scrambling fumes -- I cannot say. So kids, take a lesson: Friends don't let friends drink and dress. And now if you'll excuse me, I need a lot of Excedrin.

Just Fug Me!

Fug file:

Is Wendie Malick in Confessions of a Shopaholic? I hope whatever role she is playing, it involves her saying lots of cutting things to Isla Fisher's character, a la Miranda Priestley. Not because I have anything against Isla Fisher, but simply because I, myself, wanted to slap and shake the protagonist in CoaS about a hundred thousand times while I was reading it and I feel like Wendie Malick would be well able to express the sort of aggravated, angry disdain I felt throughout that book. Don't even get me started. Seriously. In what world am I supposed to embrace a heroine who -- OVER THE COURSE OF LIKE FOUR BOOKS? -- can't manage to live within her means and finds it charming to lie about it to everyone? Learn and grow a bit, dudes. Ahem. ANYWAY. Wendie Malick:

Don't just shoot me (HAR. See what I did there? Oh, shut up.) but is she wearing a dress over (essentially) a suit? Because that is taking Dress Over Pants to a whole new and interestingly layered level that never even occurred to me.

Mad Fug

Fug file:

You might remember Maggie Siff from her stint on Mad Men as a department-store owner who hooks up with Don Draper. And personally, I would rather my memories be restricted to the awesome period costumes she wore on the show, as opposed to the alarming early-millennium-era outfit she's wearing here:

I can't tell where the dress fabric stops and the pants start. It's so confusing! Is it a jumpsuit with draping? Is it a dress over pants? What is it, Maggie? And why? WHY? My brain is rebelling against being asked to concentrate so hard on interpreting the evidence of fuggery here; it would much rather be put to important use, say, conquering the Rainbow Road course on Mario Kart Wii, or on what type of sandwich to eat for lunch. I'm not Fuglock Holmes over here, people. This is not F.S.I.: Fug Scene Investigation. And, to my endless heartbreak, I am not Angela Fugsbury, who stars as Jessica Fugcher on Fugger, She Wrote. Some mysteries are beyond my powers of deduction.

What Not to Fug

Fug file:

I continue to be perplexed by Trinny's need to wear a dress over nearly everything she owns:

[Photo: Splash News]

She does this ALL THE TIME, despite the fact that it's no longer 2006. I'm sure there's some reasoning here about giving her slim frame "extra curves" or some such -- if I were at all organized, this is where I'd quote from one of Trinny and Susannah's very amusing books, except for the part where I can't find them. I could provide a quote from the new Gossip Girl series, an old copy of Allure, or Rick Bayless's Everyday Mexican, but I fear this is one problem even tacos can't solve -- as I think they're always talking about that, but at this point, I am beginning to wonder if maybe she just have a rampant shirt phobia. She's a raging anti-shirt-ite, and it's got to stop!

Fugger Than Fiction

Fug file:

Since we started this site, there have been definite periods where there's a lot out there that's bad, but just run-of-the-mill MODERATELY bad, where it doesn't get your pulse racing, or cause you to choke on a frothing geyser of awe and "Whaaaaaa?!?" And then, bless, someone comes along again and thrills us anew with an "OH my GOD, WHAT IS UP?" getup; today, that person is Maggie Gyllenhaal, and we owe her a debt of gratitude.

Because, say it with me here: Oh my GOD, WHAT IS UP?

At first, based on the '80s shades and the slouchy, shlumpy clothes that are Kirsten Dunst's trademarks, I thought this WAS our girl Kiki, half-heartedly attempting to go incognito with a bad wig so people would stop making her talk about why she went to rehab. But no. It is Maggie G., energetically making the "G" stand for "geriatric." No mere dress over pants, this; she's practically wearing a caftan over cocktail pajamas, and yet she is sporting the peekaboo panel under her boobs, like in case she runs into Ned Beatty she wants him to know she's still ALL WOMAN, even though her rheumatism flares up sometimes. Ellen Burstyn is totally going to call Maggie later and ask if she can borrow this (except of course, she's going to call Kirsten Dunst first by accident, at which point Kirsten is going to join in our "WTF?" chorus and write Maggie an angry letter explaining that there is NO ROOM in the Ray Bans market for her), but Ellen is going to have to get in line, because Phylicia Rashad will have already called dibs. Pretty soon, Peter Saarsgard will be registering Maggie for an AARP membership so they can get the wicked discounts, and she'll be hawking Centrum Silver in Good Housekeeping.

It's so special. Seriously, I think I just fell in love with her a little bit. Thank you, Maggie. And I'm sure a resentful Kirsten Dunst will be getting in touch soon; maybe turn your hearing aid off that day.

Logie Awards Fug Carpet: Abi Tucker

Fug file:

I guess Abi Tucker is an Aussie singer/actress? Our image provider seems to think she's Abbie Cornish, but all things being equal, I'm pretty sure she's relived she isn't. Even if she IS wearing the following:

I think I speak for us all when I say that this is not flattering. Capris made of what appear to be shantung are best saved for your kicky Grandma who's dressing up for shuffle board because she's got her eye on a sexy new resident at the retirement home. In fact, this whole thing is weirdly stodgy and droopy and matchy-matchy, in a way that feels sort of like it was originally the bridemaid's outfit for a misguidedly faux-casual wedding. Maybe we should be glad the shoes are not dyed to match.

MTV Australia Awards Fug Carpet: Lyndsey Rodrigues

Fug file:

Empirically, I know this is a flesh-and-blood person wearing a skirt over pants.

But I still can't help hoping that this is actually the very latest and greatest in Italian "FRAGIIIILE" leg lamps. That the poor schmo who gets this major award in the mail has a big fight with his wife in his future when he tries to put her on the bedside table.
