Emmy Fuggum

Well, laugh all you want, but I can tell you from experience that it's darn difficult to hide one's strap-on while walking down the red carpet. If only the limo driver hadn't opened the door so soon, she could have at lest gotten the phallus removed.

it looks like a major static cling problem in the front. get thee some static guard (tm)!

doesn't it look like she spilled somethign on her dress? there's a few dark spots.

It's a shame. If it didn't bunch up in the front, and it weren't poofy (perhaps if it did the 50s cocktail dress skirt thing that Sarah Jessica Parker is always working), if would actually be a pretty nice outfit.

For some reason, I find her completely insufferable. And that dress looks like something junior high Mischa Barton wannabes would wear to the big dance. I do have to say that I love her shoes, though.

Gah! 1987 flashback! Poofy, bunchy artificial material dress and big hair. Can Gordon Gecko be far behind? Perhaps played by Paul Giamatti this time...

Come on gang, that's just mean! It's totally apparent that she has entered herself in the local science fair as an illustration of a nuclear cloud with fallout!.. and I think beside the apparent screw-up on the cloud color, she might just win!

Can someone help me here, is the bottom of this dress giving the illusion of capri style pants or are there actually capri style pants attatched to this skirt? Either way, it's fugging awful and I want to take a pin to her skirt and some Ben and Jerrys to the rest of her.

Do my eyes deceive or is the puffy part to distract us from the fact that she's actually wearing a bermuda shorts length jumpsuit?

she's wearing a dentyne ice bubble dress. while they may have paid her a pretty pence for this tie-in promotional outfit, bubbalicious it is not. also, i think she was chewing too many pieces at once and drooled all over the front of her frock. poor emmy.

she obviously did not read the sound advice i gave her a few weeks ago. to recap: honey, please! try some quirky limey designers like paul smith, see by chloe, maybe vivienne westwood if you want to get "funky." this thing you're doing, it's not working.

You're right - not only does it look like she's concealing an erection, but she seems to have prematurely ejaculated on the lower part of her dress!

This girl bugs me. Granted I didn't see her in Phantom of the Opera -- which apparently launched her onto every inch of every red carpet unfurled in the last six months -- but I still don't get the fuss. The only positive thing to say about this outfit is at least it's more interesting than all her other dresses but it's not even a daring fug, it's just a bleurggh fug. And it's the same damn "Jessica Simpson" pose every time. She just seems so generic and vacuous. Sorry for the rant - can someone explain the appeal?

I can't put my finger on it, but something about this chick just BUGS. Maybe it's the self-satisfied smile, or the way she speaks as if every word were a morsel of wisdom. Too bad she couldn't use that superiorness to choose an outfit that did not resemble a (used) Kleenex.

Carrie:
I totally agree with everything you've said. I also find her totally insufferable in a Barton-esque way. And I too love her shoes.

Let's hug.

Oh, c'mon! I think it's kinda cute. Then again, I wore a dress very similar to that to my senior prom in 1989. Go figure.

oops! I double posted - ack!

Those really look like capris under a poofy skirt. It's really not...is it? And it looks like it might have been raining, hence the spottiness.

My Mom has this exact dress in a darker shade of blue but strapless. She wore it as a bridesmaid in 1985 or so. It looked much better on my Mom.

so I destroyed my ankle yesterday and am at home on Vicadon (sp?) and a cast and all I can think are....cool shoes, I can wear those in 8 weeks, but why is she wearing satin coulottes? (sp?)

Repeat after me: If it's short in the front, long in the back, it's a mullet skirt.

I don't have a name for those double wide capri pants.

Hmm. I have to agree - she is annoying in that "I'm a popular-goody-two-shoes-straight A student-cheeleader-who smiles at everyone" kind of way. Just makes me want to kick her ass or steal her boyfriend. Whew, sorry, high school flashback.

As for the dress, it looks like Miss Emmy fooled around with her boyfriend in the limo on the way to the prom and well, you know how messy things can get . . . .

She looks just like the blue Easter Peeps I am eating right now... all sugary and marshmellowy!

good god! are those cullottes????

CORRECTION:
i thought this was that kid from harry potter, but realized it was that girl who wore white for a whole month of press tours (her shout out to ramadan done in rosh hashana or something?). i don't know why, but i want to punch her precious little face.

Total victim of "the scrolldown"

from the hips up she looks lovely. I'd actually buy that dress if the bottom part was entirely different, cause the top part is so cute.

from the hips down shes a big ol' mess. The shoes are ok, but she really needs to go up a size or two.

but also: it looks like shes wearing an adorable floor-length ballgown and got part of the skirt caught in her underwear and thats why its all bunchy and baloony. Or maybe she just wanted to show off the shoes?

"but she seems to have prematurely ejaculated on the lower part of her dress" I was wondering what those spots were...

Also... "If it's short in the front, long in the back, it's a mullet skirt." Mullet skirt! That's just great. Instead of "Business on top, party in the back,", we might call this look "Vagina in the front, no access in the back." I'm sure we'll be seeing La Peldon in something like that shortly...

In terms of why she's considered so amazing, I have no idea. My co-workers are driving me mad because they just fawn over her, and I have no idea. Of course, they are all pervy Forty year old men who like vacuous teenage starlets, so that might explain some of her popularity...

I just saw something like this dress in Boston over the weekend called the "duck boat", a sight-seeing vehicle that can roll right from the land into the water--

If she tucked her prim little legs underneath her and stode purposefully into the tide, I'm sure that dress would float her safely to the next shore. Wicked Sick!

"Vagina in the front, no access in the back."

Or front door wide open, back door bolted shut?

You know when you can feel the carpet under your big toe, it's time to move up to a larger size, hon.

Ugliest. Dress. Ever. I also dont understand the appeal of this girl. Something is wrong with her eyes. Everytime I see here they look stoned or half closed. They just look odd.

is that a pit stain i see? or is it part of the dress? generally, any dress that makes you look like you have sweaty pits, man parts, or like you just ejaculated is not a good idea.

I am really gonna go against the trend here, but I think she is adorable. Not in this dress, mind you. This dress... well... I'd like to know where she bought it just so I can be sure I'll never go there. But I like the shoes, and other than the fact that she really needs to eat something, I think she's cute as hell.

"generally, any dress that makes you look like you have sweaty pits, man parts, or like you just ejaculated is not a good idea."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's priceless, MJ.

Oh, and who is this chick in the picture, anyway?

one of two things happened:

1. She tucked the front of her dress into her undies.

2. It's a Worst Bridesmaid Dress fashion show fundraiser for Save the Music. The stains on the ruffles are from a naughty groomsman.

I also like the dentyne bubble dress promo theory.

While I agree with the comments about the horrible dress, I am confused as to why some of you are harping away about the girl herself. On one hand, commenters make cracks and comments about people like Courtney Peldon and Bai Ling acting and looking like sluts, but then you all turn around and make fun of this girl for acting and looking like a nice, good girl. What's it going to be?

Somebody please bag her up and toss her into the garbage disposal.

It's a shame, because she's such a pretty woman. But waaaaay to thin. I want to feed her.

www.justinesmind.blogspot.com
(Check out my first blog contest.)

AT LEAST the shoes are hot. That counts for something, right?

Is it just me, or does this woman wear virtually the same thing everywhere she goes? Also, as someone else mentioned, she has basically one pose/facial expression. It's very senior-pictures-by-Olan-Mills. All she's missing is the faux bookcase backdrop.

"See, I have breasteses. See, see?! I'll even poke them out for you. I am NOT a thin little waif with nothing on top. I HAVE BREASTS DAMMIT! Really, I do. *SOB* Ok, so they're not much, but they're there. I am MORE than just a pretty face. My pathetic little smile begs for you to notice that people."

Next year, don't ya know she'll be pulling a Tara or a Bai?! It starts in baby steps.

Who is gonna tell Emily that she caught her skirt in her pantyhose coming out the bathroom?

Fugtom of the Opera.
Not only is the dress a disgrace, it's horrific to see the way she contorts herself into a widly unnatural, obviously uncomfortable position to give the illusion that she has a real human body. There is definitely some serious chiropractic care in her future. Or scoliosis.

Ungh. She has the plastic smile that my beauty-pageant teen cousin sported all through the 80s. The pose too.

I was hoping this one would be featured! Finally, a direct misstep. Guess color can be risky.

I'm with everyone else who is disturbed by her rise to fame. I just can't figure out what the big deal is. Her eyes remind me of Cheri Oteri's character on SNL who said "Simma dow' nah!" Like she's drunk or cross-eyed or something. And the stance is amateurish and unflattering. And don't get me started on the prom hair...

Is it pants? Or skirt? Shirt? Bed sheet? Balloon? I'm confused.

Are you sure this isn't a left over pic from the "Saved by the Bell" auditions list?

Or...

Did someone break into Christopher Lowell's studio and steal the duvet cover that he was about to staple to some dowlings and a big piece of luan to make a fabulous headboard?

If the latter is the case, they really should have taken the batting out before they wrapped it around this poor girl.

Is it prom night? In 1986?

Are those PANTS under there?? omgz.

mildly relieved she went for color...
frightned that this is what she chose

This volume trend is ridiculous. It must die.

Actually, I kind of like this. I also like Emmy Rossum: she seems sweet and always looks naturally pretty. And I think she dresses unusually well for a young actress (if you saw her at the Oscars in that gorgeous red Ralph Lauren, and then saw Scarlett Johanssen... well, you know what I mean.) Even this isn't half bad. The colour of the dress is nice, and it fits her properly. I love her hair. And her shoes. The only thing wrong (and, granted, it really stands out) is the pouf. But even that is just a trend taken too far. Voluminous skirts were all over the spring runways, and some of them were fabulous. If this were redone by Oscar de la Renta, it would be perfect. As it is, I think it's more of a misstep than a major mistake.

I don't understand. I saw one photo of her, at the Phantom premiere, and she looked so nice...the color washes her out.

Who the hell decided the 80's needed to come back?

That dress is just another tie-in for The Phantom of the Opera. Fugly man haunting the Opera Garnier = girl in an fugly dress haunting every red carpet in sight for the past four months. Hell, I made the connection, and I still wear my mittens pinned to my jacket! It's so obvious!

...
I always tell myself "Well, at least she's not Sarah Brightman." That woman is all sorts of fug-crazy: http://sarah-brightman.com/gallery/6.jpg

I'll tell you why we all want to punch her.

THAT HAIR. It screams child beauty pageant, Stepford Wife, and High School Drama Society devotee. The dress is bad enough, but she has the hairdo of a middle-aged wife of an astronaut....in 1983.

Sarah Brightman is a classic, Bubbles. Don't touch that.

Ugh...she's so overrated. The big, cow eyes that remind me of a hound dog and the anorexic body...that does not equal beauty to me. Plus, I hate the whole "I grew up on the Upper East side of New York, went to private school so I am above it all" vibe. Gross.

I get the feeling that she was trying to color coordinate with the Dentye Ice.

Oops, I accidentally posted this under Bai Ling.....

Here it is again, bigger shoes, smaller dress and it would be ok...couldn't really do anything about the expression though....

My stars, it's culottes!

I swear that's my prom dress from 1992. I hope that is isn't old enough to be called vintage yet.

i really dont like her. she's just so freakin' cocky, (and by the looks of the dress she might actually have one). someone direct her to one who can pluck her brows into a decent shape and not something reminiscent of ronald mcdonald.

i absolutely love the dress from the hips up

but the bottom half contains enough fug to destroy the world =P

She is totally wearing MC Hammer's pants, and in the excitement of stripping them off the good Reverend, uh-how can I put this politely-some "DNA" was released on the "Ice,Ice,baby blue glow" outfit,and she didn't have time to get it dry cleaned. For all I know, Hammer may still be hiding in there, along with Jimmy Hoffa and the Lindbergh baby. It's certainly roomy enough.

cute shoes, though

Note to designers of said dress: A large swath of puffy, iridescent blue material does not liven up an otherwise dull dress. It only mocks it further. Note to the up-and-coming starlet wearing said dress: A large, puffy, iridescent blue dress does not liven up an otherwise dull individual. It only mocks it further.

AAAAH! AAAAH! It's like a shimmery blue monster come to devour me!

So tell me, how does one look in the mirror and think one looks gorgeous, just GORGEOUS, in a monstrosity like this? Hmmmm? What drug does one take to achieve such a beatific level of delusion? Because it certainly would be good to know.

Leslie, your re-imagning of the dress is quite nice! I would totally wear it, if it actually looked like that. Unfortunately, it doesn't.

It's too bad, really. I may not agree with a lot of her fashion choices (Ralph Lauren and Harry Winston are nice, but for EVERY SINGLE AWARDS SHOW in one year? Come on, hon, branch out a little!), but she always did look good. I guess she finally listened to me and branched out. I take it back, Emmy. I take it back.

I had to check out other pics wether are those pants or not... Apparently not, just fabric caught up between her thigs or something:

But check this out, too funny:

:-D

Ok, who's up for some Jiffy Pop Popcorn? Looks like there's enough for everyone!

Hasn't ANYONE realized that out of his love and devotion to her, the PHANTOM made her that dress? She HAS to wear it.. OR ELSE **makes cutthroat sign across neck**

Girl has dead eyes and a vacuous stare.

She's like Derek Zoolander.

Dress is unfortunate. Her complexion is lovely, though.

ohmigod it's my prom dress! Only mine was pink, and strapless, and had some tulle sticking out of the bottom. And it was shorter. And had a lovely rhinestone decoration at the hip. I wore silver pumps. They matched the rhinestone decoration. And yes, BB, it was 1987.

Please don't tell me the 80's are really back.

i absolutely LOVE Emmy and her sense of style. however, i'm not too find of this dress. i love the color, but the poufiness is not working for me. (it's Oscar de la Renta, if you care to know.)

That's such a shame...she's so cute.
