I dunno, that doesn't seem so bad. Kind of looks good on her, to be honest.

Then again, I have no sense of style whatsoever.

...and then there's Maude.

She looks as though she has 2 sets of breasts.

It wouldn't be so bad if it were sleeveless, maybe. And the color. No, wait, it's just bad.

Blanche wore the craziest outfits -- the fact that the Golden Girls were (1) old and (2) old in the 1980s made for some horrifying moments.

Remember Dorothy's one toe sandals? Ugh.

Oh, Mrs. Cooper-Nichol! If you dressed like that on the show, Caleb never would have married you. So please don't do it in real life.

I love you!

if you go out in your jammies when you're four people think it's cute. if you go out in your jammies when you're twenty-four people think you're crazy.

She borrowed this from Chloe Sevigny's closet!

At least the shoes don't make the ensemble uglier.

It's a little shapeless for someone sumptuously built as Lady Heather is. But what's with the little blue plastic bracelet? It looks like a hospital i.d. tag. If I didn't know better, I'd say she was sporting the latest in day-patient attire.

That is definitely something Blanche might have worn circa 1986 with Rose and Dorothy. However, Blanche RULES.

This 'outfit' is simply put, fugly. Color? Pattern? Fugly. The fact that its a caftan? Fugged up.

It really looks like she's wearing my great grandmother's feaux silk bathrobe/nighty combo.

Okay, I think that "Alzheimer's Chic" is now officially a trend. Look for Celebrity Bingo on ESPN8--the Ocho--real, real soon.

Seriously, my father's girlfriend has a dress like that, and it looks better on her. And she's seventy-freaking-nine years old, y'all!

Mid-calf-length patterned chiffon caftans? Why, dear Lord, would one spend the big cash for personal trainers/liposuction/designer boobies and then shroud them in something from your Nana's closet? Why? Why? Why?!?!?

Her dress has the shine, colour, and pattern of a shower curtain. A very bad shower curtain, at that.

The shower curtain comment makes me wonder if it isn't her raincoat that she forgot to take off, and the real dress is the white number beneath.

...a really fugly raincoat.

I'm pretty sure Janet Leigh was wearing something made from the same fabric in an episode of Columbo I watched today.

From 1975.

I miss her red hair.

Oh, Lady Heather, this was a mistake.

My little nieces made something like this for their grandmother by putting their hands in sparkly paint and then hand-stamping the material. Except it wasn't aqua. And Grandmom never wore it to a formal event.

Bring back the leather, Lady Heather!

Julie Cooper-Nicols-Crosby-Stills-Nash-Young rules, especially for bringing back the hair style my sister wore yea these many moons ago. Now that it's cool again, my sister is wearing it and she looks better than she has in many hairdos.

Julie, though, one bit of advice: more slapping, more falling into the pool, and less business management.

Ashley Simpson called, and she's pissed.

You stole her idea of pairing your grandmother's housecoat with a bad pseudo-mullet.

Every time is the right time for a Golden Girls reference!!

It's NICE!!!!!

This reminds me of the pics you see of Japanese car shows (and maybe it's just because she looks like she IS at a car show, thus the plastic bracelet), where they dress beautiful models up in clothes with incomprehansible, busy floral patterns that would make an ibex puke, and stand them next to flashy cars to smile with the inescapable knowledge that they're playing second-banana to a piece of steel and fiberglass...

Okay here's a bit of info that I find it sad that I know: it was in Rue McLanahan's contract for The Golden Girls that she got to keep ALL of her clothes from the show.

She wanted to KEEP the clothes.

Take a moment...yeah. Nice, huh?

*whispering* But I still watch The Golden Girls! Shhhhh!

I love Julie Cooper-Nichol (partially because we share the same first name). She rocks my little world. However, I must ask this: What the hell were you thinking, Mrs. Cooper-Nichol? And why on earth are you SMILING about it?

P.S. Smack that bitch Rebecca for me. Thanks.

Is it me or do those shoes make her look like she has hobbit feet?

Apparently she was first in line at Phyllis diller's garage sale.

Swanning about the Lanai! I remember Dorothy calling their back patio "the lanai" and wondering why Floridians called their patio this.

I am SO impressed you remembered this term!

I vote that we establish a Lanai of Fug to house the best octogenarian-dressing twenty-somethings.

If not for the print it would actually be quite pretty.

I believe Alan Carr circa 1980 used to be photographed wearing caftans like this. Pre-Blanche.

It's Lady Heather's Frock.

that is a hideous dress/mightgown/muumuu/grandma robe but she still looks gorgeous.

Out to the car show on a day pass. Too bad she forgot to change out of her housedress.

WHY has no one commented on the fact that it looks like she's wearing a blue hospital bracelet? Ugh, Melinda is in my opinion the best and most talented (and most gorgeous) woman on The O.C. so whyyyyyyyyyy is she sporting that horrid outfit and hair color? Sigh. I'd expect this from the two-bit terror that is Mischa (Never from Rachel Bilson, god bless her), but not from MELINDA! Sob!

must say i love the shoes. and she sure is pretty.

it's a car show in l.a., as part of the show she's modelling the hospital wear that comes standard in the trunk of all cars sold in southern california.

has anyone else noticed that her white-ass legs don't match her (comparatively) overly bronzed face and neck area? don't forget the spray tan on the bottom, lady.

Her home is missing a shower curtain.

Whirlygirl: The blue bracelet is worn by diabetics. Either she is a diabetic, or she finds being diabetic fashionable. Maybe she'll find that she just came out of the hospital and forgot to change.

Wait, since when do diabetics wear plastic hospital bracelets? All the diabetics I know wear MedicAlert bracelets made out of actual metal.

CAR. SHOW. BRACELET.

The 1980 caftan makes a little more sense considering she's standing in front of what appears to be the Back to the Future - Delorean.

Maybe she just got back. Is that Doc in the background there?

I don't watch The OC, so I couldn't place why I recognized her, then it dawned on me: She played "The Siren" on an epi of Charmed. Good thing I figured it out; it'd have driven me berserk every time I looked at the picture.

That said, the outfit's not the worst fug I've seen from peeps here!

I've never seen a blue plastic bracelet indicating diabetes. Looks like a standard hospital admissions bracelet to me.

Wow, she looks a lot like Mackenzie Phillips in that picture. It even looks like a dress that she might have worn on One Day at a Time.

I don't know why the focus on the dress, when the hairdon't is the worst part. The worst part. Girls on Haight St. are wearing these ugly hairdo's and clothes from the 80's. But no one's buying that they're actually cool. except for Julie Cooper-so-on-and-so-on I guess.

>>It's a little shapeless for someone sumptuously built as Lady Heather is.<<

And maybe that's the whole point of this, er, comfy outfit. She's damn sick and tired of all the push-up bras, bustiers, thongs et al that's she's constantly leveraged into, all in the service of her various vixen roles. I don't blame her for going out in her "kimona," as my grandma used to say. Even "hoors" (also my grandma's term) need a break.

and what's with the two haircuts in one? she's got a bob onto top and a long number underneath.

This is the kind of dress I fantasize about draping around Pam and Jordan and Jodie and the like. Which would be a vast improvement.

Why would a girl this gorgeous, with such a fabulous figure, wear her hair like that and choose such a dress?

Total fug.

Lady Heather misses the leather.

"And maybe that's the whole point of this, er, comfy outfit. She's damn sick and tired of all the push-up bras, bustiers, thongs et al that's she's constantly leveraged into, all in the service of her various vixen roles."

Aw, Lady Heather needs a day off! Okay, then. But does this mean that inside every vixen there's a hausfrau waiting to get out?

what is with the mint green???? blechhh! and the print looks like it was designed by Stevie Wonder. She looks totally dated and 70's and it does not become her. The hair is too long and dark for her. The dress would not be worn by anyone from the 70's, 80's, or 90's, it's sooo incredibly fugly! I like seeing women more covered up, but this is to the other extreme, not flattering at all. That's obviously an admission bracelet to something, probably the event she was attending, which in being a celebrity, she should not have had to wear, or at least she should have camoflaged it behind that polluted sea of a dress.

If you're going to rock the mullet, at least wash your hair first.

And what the blue blazes does a car show have to do with wearing a blue plastic bracelet? I've been to dozens and I've never seen a bracelet like this at any of them.

Those bangs? Appear to start somewhere towards the back of her head. And it does not look good.

Re: the bracelet. You know when you go to a concert and you need a bracelet to prove you can drink legally? Perhaps she attended this event with Mischa Barton and she needed the bracelet to prove that, despite what your eyes are telling you, SHE's the one whos old enough to drink.

Eh. I think she looks pretty. I've seen worse.

I really don't see why you're bitching about this outfit on her, it looks lovely.
