Fug or Fab: Rachel Bilson

This is the part where I talk about how cute Rachel Bilson is, and it's true. She IS really cute.

FNP_BFO_0019493.jpg

Oh, Rachel. I remember when you were on The O.C, and The O.C was good, and we were all so happy and young. Now I'm old, and you don't have a job. Which, by the way, is crazy: you're charming. You seriously should have a TV gig.   In this outfit, actually, you look like you're on your way to the set of a TV version of Reality Bites -- because the 90s are ripe for a period piece nighttime soap -- in which you play, obviously, the Winona Ryder character. It's debatable whether or not I would still RELATE to the Winona Ryder character, as the last time I caught that movie on cable, I wanted to shake her and explain that dating the super hot slacker SEEMS like a good idea when you're 22, but it's actually NOT because that dude will flake on you for the remainder of your relationship and eventually maybe start hitting on your best friend. In fact, I just realized that I think the Ethan Hawke character in Reality Bites is essentially Justin-Bobby. DON'T DATE JUSTIN-BOBBY. It ends in tears.

Also debatable: the relative success of this 90s-inspired little get-up. I kinda like it, but it might just be nostalgia for the time when I didn't have gray hair. (I'm lying, you know. I had gray hair at 18. I've ALWAYS had gray hair.)

Our girl Sophia Bush has been out and about a lot the last couple of days, handily illustrating the thrill of sartorial victory and the agony of its defeat.

This one, I think, is a win:

Does she look like the world's sexiest referee? Maybe, although she was smart to leave her whistle at home. But she also looks sort of modern and graphic and curvy -- frankly, I think this works, although I'm concerned that her shoes are brown. Surely that's just craziness on my part, however, yes? Brown shoes would be foolishness at the level of the fact that last night's One Tree Hill involved NO MALE SHIRTLESSNESS. Considering that this is the first time that has EVER happened on that show, let's just say....I am concerned. Also, I'd like to take this moment to officially thank the OTH crew for casting Hot Hot Robert Buckley as Nathan's Generally Shirtless Troubled Manwhore Agent With a Heart of Gold and MYSTERIOUS PAST.  I'd also like to share that when I originally wrote that sentence, I accidentally left out the word "Agent," and I admit that I would also watch THAT show.

Anyway, further craziness on Sophia's part, however, is amply demonstrated by THIS:

Fug or Fab: Shenae Grimes

So, as I believe I mentioned on our Twitter feed (we're @fuggirls, it's fun, we were totally wrong when we said we weren't going to enjoy it, we're big liars, we know), the new 90210 is kind of totally better now, all of a sudden. I think it's because the new dudes are cuter, no one is pregnant, and Shenae Grimes accidentally killed someone with her car AND was the victim of a sexting scandal. Accidental murder, plus humiliating sex scandals, equals trashy CW fun. Entertainment Weekly, I apologize for muttering, "Have you lost your damn minds?" at the issue in which you informed me it had improved. You were right, I was wrong.

And in addition to the show getting better, I suspect little Shenae here went and got herself a better stylist, because in comparison to her former body of work, she now looks like a SARTORIAL MASTERPIECE. Like, I may have lost my mind at some point over the last six weeks -- which would explain a lot of things, actually -- but this is kind of...REALLY CUTE. Right?

My New FugFF

There are days when I wake up and I think, "no one has left the house looking that terribly bad today. Whatever shall I write about?" And then I remember: PARIS HILTON STILL EXISTS.

And she is EXACTLY the sort of person who would wear heels, leggings that find themselves just barely on the correct side of opaque, a stripe-y sequined top, and a hippie headband -- the likes of which I overheard her sister Nicky tell someone she hates while I was at Fashion Week -- to get a coffee. BLESS YOU PARIS. When the rest of the world is all, "ooh, first day of school!" or "ooh, it's fantasy football season," or "ooh, it's cooling off, maybe I'll bake a pie," YOU are thinking, "those celebrity and gossip bloggers need material! TO THE RESCUE! Later, I'll run off with someone's boyfriend, tell the press that I'm pretty sure we're going to get married, get him a job on The Hills, and dump him. YOU DON'T HAVE TO THANK ME."

Fug or Fab: Jessica Lowndes

When I saw this in its original tiny little thumbnail, I was HORRIFIED and APPALLED, the way you'd feel if, like, Spencer Pratt came over to your house and put on your bathrobe and drank all your Diet Coke.

Now that I get a good look at it, I don't know why I had my Spanx all in a twist. I mean, there's a lot going on here -- stripes! sequins! booties! belt! -- but it's kind of cute, in a saucy Show Choir's Homage To Referees sort of way. Right? Yes? No? I need your validation!
 

First and foremost, I think we can all agree that Tatyana "Ashley Banks" Ali grew up to be super gorgeous.

But let's talk about her dress. I kind of can't figure it out. Like...literally. It's sequined....right? And....sort of striped? Or that's just how she's standing? And if so, does it vaguely resemble newsprint? And if so, is that still okay? Or is what looks like a pattern actually just reflections of the light combined with the way she's standing? Or are they a sort of Rorschach test-esque pattern in which I keep seeing a sports bra, and if so, does that mean my subconscious wants me to work out more? Or does any reference to The Fresh Prince just act as a flimsy excuse for me to post this?




(YouTube has yanked the sound from that video, but you KNOW what song is playing. Hum it at work.) You be the judge.

Fug or Fab: Olivia Palermo

I truly am so torn:

spl122020_003.jpg

I feel like I OUGHT to hate it, but I love stripes and there's something about it that's so charmingly gamine, even in a way that's bordering on stereotypical, like she considered tossing a beret on her head and a baguette in her pocket. It's hot, and my neighborhood seems like it's about twenty minutes away from bursting into flames (that's summer in Los Angeles for you), so it's entirely possible that my brain has simmered into thoughtless mush in my skull, but I think I like this in spite of myself. Kind of like how I feel about Real Housewives, which is where I fully expect to see Olivia come the 2014 premiere of Real Housewives: Upper East Side.
We learned from Lynn Collins that this terrible backdrop does nothing any favors. But amazingly, it's not preventing me from deciding I kind of like this outfit:

Yvonne here has been featured on the site only twice, for being togged up like it's a gymnastics prom and for a peekaboo bra incident, and if those incidences have taught us anything it's that a) her taste is unreliable and b) I have a total girl crush on her. So maybe I'm being influenced by that, BUT: How cute is she? This is such an improvement. I love the way the shirt and jacket lie together, I love the casual roll of the sleeve, and I LOVE the bold red shoe.

I admit, I don't always know what to make of floating belts, but this one does at least APPEAR to have the nudity-preventing, cinching purpose of preventing her buttonless top from flying open and announcing her bra size very loudly to the assembled masses. And really, I think that is a victory for every woman, except maybe Lady Gaga. And indeed, not sinking into Gagadom is ANOTHER check mark in the "win" column. Yvonne's racking up points all over the place here. Way to go.
Oh, Leighton, all is forgiven:

You look so pert and adorable in this, I just can't stay mad at you. Aren't you SO RELIEVED?

Two questions:

1) For what heinous crime was Hope Davis exiled to the chain gang?
2) And since when does the chain gang issue nightgowns?
