Fug or Fab: Eva Mendes

Fug file:

It's not that I hate things that are sparkly.

It's that I think Eva Mendes may have arrived at this event via confetti cannon.

Well Played, Anne Hathaway

Fug file:

I am usually not a fan of themed dressing.

Like, remember when Kiki Dunst was in Marie Antoinette, and for a while there every time she went somewhere, she looked like she was about ready to plonk her head down on the guillotine? That was annoying. (Although, parenthetically, I really MISS Kirsten Dunst. Come back, Kiki. Your public needs you...to make fun of. WITH LOVE. You know we love you. I actually just want to embrace you. Remember that time I wanted you to be on a show solving murders with Jason Schwartzman? HE HAS A DETECTIVE SHOW NOW. CALL HIM. PUT ON YOUR FAKE GLASSES AND GET A JOB ON THAT THING. Also, where are my royalties for that?) However, Annie H here is at an event benefiting gay and lesbian civil rights in the state of New York, and I feel like the cheery rainbow-flag trim on her cute little 80s-style dress comes across not as irritatingly self-referential -- like Kiki's was (sorry, Kiki) -- but as a fun little nod to the cause. Thematic, and SUBTLE. Imagine that.

Who Fugged It Better (Or Worse): Sara Paxton and Posh

Fug file:

Hmm. This is a conundrum.

It's tough to judge directly whether Posh wore this dress better, because she's Posh, so she simultaneously does things better and worse than I could ever imagine. Plus, this dress is probably being deployed in a more proper context by Sara Paxton, who is -- sorry, Victoria -- considerably younger and therefore looks less like she's trying so hard to be hip. But I do object rather strenuously to the disco clogs. I am not a clog fan. Clogs are for drains, not feet. Sara may look a bit fresher from the ankles up, but damn, I'd go with Posh's boots any time.

Cate Blanchfugtt

Fug file:

It's an admirable effort from a sassy lady, but no amount of vamping can change the fact that Cate Blanchett is wearing a throw somebody's grandmother crocheted in 1974 and which has lived on the basement sofa ever since.

For real, there are probably several people out there reading this and going, "Hot damn, I lost my virginity on that dress." At least it appears Cate Blanchett is having more lasting fun with it than about 70 percent of those folks did.

The Fug Element

Fug file:

You know how you say of someone particularly chic/beautiful/fit/possessed of an enviable je ne sais quoi, "she'd look good in a barrel?" Well, I generally feel that Milla here would probably look decent in a barrel. I might not approve of the cut of said barrel and I certainly wouldn't endorse barrel-wearing, nor would I believe that, of everything else in her closet, the barrel was Milla's most inspired choice, but you know what I mean. You smell what I'm cooking. You appreciate the barrel of monkeys I'm unpacking over here.

Because what is written on the side of this particular barrel is, "Not Even Milla Jovovich Can Pull This Off; Look On My Works, Ye Mighty, AND DESPAIR." This is, I believe, what the kids refer to as a hot mess.

Fug or Fab: Diane Kruger

Fug file:

multi-colored

We've gotten quite a few emails about Diane Kruger's look at the Inglourious Basterds preemieeerrrre last night:

I sort of like it, guys. Sure, it mildly recalls a cocktail dress made of sea anemones, but that's also something I suspect I might like, were it presented to us in the course of a seafood-themed challenge on Project Runway (WHICH CAN'T RETURN SOON ENOUGH). But I kind of think it's groovily tactile. Of course I'm also out of coffee. Let's take a look at the back:

Teen Choice Awards Fug Carpet: Ashley Greene

Fug file:

Uh, maybe not the best choice, Ashley:

I mean, even if you INTENDED to look like you'd pulled a skirt that was half-a-size too small up over your granny's long-line foundation garment, I'd argue that it wasn't the best choice. You know? Like, cosmically? I'm just saying.

The Fugs of Eastwick

Fug file:

LINDSAY PRICE: Thank GOD I got a new job after Lipstick Jungle was so harshly canceled!

REBECCA ROMIJN: Thank GOD I got a new job after they kicked me off Ugly Betty!

OTHER WOMAN IN EASTWICK: Thank GOD I got a new job after Veronica Mars ended, even though I totally can't remember what part I played in that show despite the fact that IMDb claims it was multi-episode!

DUDE WHO'S PLAYING THE JACK NICHOLSON ROLE: Rebecca ignored that memo asking us to all wear "a charming, small print top." WHY DIDN'T I?

The Real Housefugs of New York

Fug file:

I have to thank The Real Housewives of New York for one thing -- well, other than for entertaining me while I do things like work on this here Web site. Anyone who watched this past season surely recalls the episode where Kelly Bensimon here yapped about keeping up her fitness whilst jogging... THROUGH THE STREETS OF NEW YORK. No. LITERALLY. IN the street. Not on the sidewalk or in the park. In the CENTER of a LANE in the ACTUAL STREET with, like, taxis trailing her patiently. Girl, please. If the Bravo cameras had not been there and arranged that entire shot, you KNOW those cab drivers would have run her skinny ass down. As it was, that scene was HILARIOUS. And every time I myself go jogging -- on the sidewalk like a normal person -- I think of it and giggle. So thank you, Kelly, for giving me one brief moment of levity during my runs. And thank you for giving me some material for today:

I happen to be wearing those shoes right now -- holla at your J. Crew! -- but the rest of this is a total misfire. Leaving aside the fact that it MIGHT be a romper, it's DEFINITELY not supposed to be belted thusly, any more than your swimsuit cover-up requires belting. The fabric is cute, but Ms Kelly might a little too old to fully pull it off. Although I probably shouldn't say that too loud. Anyone who will blithely run in front of a taxi wouldn't have any problems with pushing me in front of one.

Sol-Angel and the Fugly St. Dreams

Fug file:

I understand that Solange here was performing at San Francisco's gay-pride parade -- the symbolism of the rainbow colors isn't lost on me:

But did it HAVE to go here? Did she HAVE to treat this event like she's the lone athlete representing Fugdavia at the Olympics? It looks like she's singing the country's national anthem -- "Let's Get Fugical," featuring the memorable lyrics, "Let's get fugical, fugical... I wanna get fugical... 'cause polterwang is lovable" -- before launching herself down a luge track. Who knows, maybe she'll surprise us all and do that in Vancouver in 2010. Now THERE'S a way to upstage her sister.
