Nothing like a sartorial tribute to Gladiators:

But the dress itself -- whose merits in my eyes are few, but at least it doesn't make her look psychotic/naked/homeless -- pales in comparison to her hair, which looks like she was corraled by a particularly effective Fuller Brush salesman on her way to the event. If you turn her upside down, you can use her to scrub those hard-to-reach places, like under the refrigerator.
i actually like the dress a lot. the hair not so much.
Are you sure that's her hair? Perhaps some exotic insect has landed on her head. Large butterfly as accessory?
I have to admit that at first glance I didn't even realize that the wings were part of her hair; I thought it was part of the backdrop. What an unfortunate look.
It's like she hired the same hairdresser as Queen Amidala! Is that a bow, a really bad hair piece or is she trying to pick up signals from passing Imperial ships?
I was hoping you guys would fug this. :D What in THE HELL is the concept behind this look? Seriously confusing. It looks like she has two ancient coins wrapped around her top.
And the hair. Gawd, wouldn't you love to be sitting behind her? "Miss, could you move your .... hair please, I can't see Jamie Foxx crying about his grandmother."
I wonder if I could get Russell Crowe's attention if I wore something like that...
But don't mock the hair, guys, I don't think it's on purpose, someone has obviously threatened her offsprings and she's just puffing up to look bigger and scare the papparazzi away - giant, stiff hair is the pepper spray
How Patti LaBelle.
Loving the Amidala reference, as I enjoy all her looks, I am kinda digging the hair.
The dress? Er...not so much.
Great googlymoogly!
She's the new Centauri ambassador! Her dress must be a tribute to our great Earth culture.
Patti Labelle has a daughter!
If it were only the coins on the top I wouldn't even have noticed that they depict nude men making out. It's the patches below that give it away. Hair, say nay mare.
Who is that?
Sweet baby Jesus in a manger! What a thing to assualt my eyes on Good Friday. This hair belongs on a cast member of the Simpsons, perhaps one related to Marge. How many bottles of Aquanet were needed to perform this gravitorial abomination? Perhaps she's testing some sort of new fins for a torpedo or missile?
Yikes!
Actually, the dress wouldn't be bad if the skirt were solid black. But the hair!
I believe the pictures on the skirt would be much better on an urn. Illustrated ball gowns are a Glamour "don't."
I think it's great that she forewent a silky hair ribbon that would have just made her look ridiculous! This look is much more mature and sophisticated. It says, "I'm not afraid of fashion! Fashion is afraid of me!"
Greco Roman greasy man wrestling? Yes please!
Gi-normous bow on the back of my head? Sure!
Make it out of my own hair? Absolutely!
This really hurts, imagine if you will that her hair is minus the wings and the dress is all black. Doesn't she look great? Isn't it sad? Don't you want to hug her and hit her stylist in the head? Me too!
Voulez vous coucher avec Russell Crowe.
I don't really have much of a problem with the dress. The dress is totally normal compared to her "hair." She looks like she slaughtered a bird and used its feathers as a hairpiece.
the dress is bad too. its a damn zodiac dress. that sh*t is cool on a t-shirt, but a whole dress. perish the thought. i am not going to hate too much. she was trying for something here...she just failed miserably.
She reminds me of a cable satellite. Beaming out bad fashion for all the world to see... Tragic.
i like the dress a lot, and while i scrolled down this list of comments i kept saying to myself you dumb jerks, it's a bow on her head, it's not hair. it couldn't be hair. there's no way it's hair.
and then i looked at the picture again.
how the hell did she get their hair to stay like that?!!?
So is it a good thing when people say they like your dress-compared to your hair? I was hoping it was some sort of lame theme party, but alas no.
Yes, I do think that she is related to someone in Star Wars, just not Queen Amidala. I think she was trying the Princess Lea look, but something went terribly wrong once she got hold of the hairspray!
Or mabye she's thinking that if she doesn't win, she can just fly out of the room with the wings glued onto her head.
Fashon 101: It's just a fact of life. People can't fly. It's just not humanly possible. So do everybody a favor, and don't try to fly.
WOW, the dress doesn't bother me so much, granted it looks like she added patches to an old prom dress but if you squint it looks normal, even pretty, but the HAIR! I honestly didn;t even notice it until it was fugged and then it was just like a total double take. How much would it suck to have to sit behind her at an award show. In addition to being mesmerized and struck dumb by the hair (how DOES it defy gravity???), it would block your view.
Regarding the drachma facing out on her dress -- is that an urn, or is that wrestler just really happy to see me?
As for the hair, it makes me want to get all White album:
Blackbird singing on the edge of night...
Lose that broken hair, it gives me fright.
All your life
You were only waiting for relaxer to arrive.
Being a big Greek culture fetishist, the dress mainly makes me alternately squee and snort.
However, she really needs to take her big- silly Alice in Wonderland bow, or unflattering weave. NOT both.
HoneyT- know you what the Zodiac is? Or looks like?
Nothing is fuglier than ignorance.
Leave your fellow posters alone, please.
Does anyone remember that little dinosaur creature on Jurassic Park that jumped in the fat guys' Jeep and spit venomous goo in his face? And how it's two little wings flapped wildly with malice before proceeding to horrifically kill him?
Tangi Miller's hair reminds me of that.
Damn Erica, that's exactly what I thought of when I saw that. Maybe one of them spit in her drink and now she's mutating.
And the dress...American Gladiators went off the air for a reason. Let's not bring it back.
Primitive artwork on a ball gown is never a good idea.
It's a bit shocking to find that some people apparently don't know that.
Honestly, I think the Roman coin concept would have worked fine if it had been confined to the top of the dress. That would have been creative and kind of interesting. It's those big patches at the bottom that turn this from unique to bizarre.
Speaking of bizarre, that hair style is not natural! Human hair should not be able to do that. Damn...o_O
If that is really her hair and not some sort of attached thingy -- can you imagine what it's going to take to get it out? Is that kind of hair product even water soluble? Will she have to use turpentine?
Its..Its a bow. A big, fat, fugly ribbon bow.
The first word that came to mind was, rather unsurprisingly, FUG.
The second word that came to mind was not actually a word but a whole lotta words, mostly unprintable.
The third word that came to mind was a sentence. It went like: "If you REALLY want to look like a demonic fairy from Roman times, please remember that fairies keep their wings on their BACKS, not their HEADS."

are you sure thats her hair?? it looks like she strapped a taffeta throw pillow to her head.
I enjoy the movie "The Birdcage." There is a scene where Robin Williams and Nathan Lane are hosting a very conservative family for dinner, and their housekeeper inadvertantly sets the table with plates of ancient Grecian men having sex with one another. The look of horror on Robin William's face was a mere fraction of the reaction I had when gazing at this dress.
Her dress looks like a wall hanging from my art history class.
Somewhere in LA, there is a beauty supply that has been stripped of Spritz Forte and industrial strength hair gel.
I am pretty sure that this is her hair (or someone else's hair attached to her head). I paused a shot of her during the NAACP Image awards (ahhh, sweet TIVO) for about five minutes because I could not believe my eyes. She stole Patti LaBelle's hair. FROM THE 80's. Bad 80's hair is not a goal - it is a lesson.
Oh, yeah - and the dress sucks, too.
At first I thought that she was rocking the Romulus and Remus look on her dress, but then I remembered how my people don't like Remus references. Then I realized she was giving a major shout out to Diana Ross in the black film equivalent of "Pretty Woman"-MAHOGANY!! Miss Ross plays a woman who wants to be a dress designer,but the only way she can accomplish that is by going to Italy and becoming a model. I think Lady Di actually designed her own clothes in the film, and I swear she had the exact same 'do during one of her fashion shoots.It's a well known fact that Miss Ross was a pioneer in the field of hair,from the petty cash weave,to wigs,to the finest Asian follicles, way before white girls and Christina Aguilera.So I know that miss Tangi Miller is just representing and keeping it real, all hail to the queen,with props and respect to Miss Diana Ross, the original diva, by wearing that awful stupid hairdo.
It's totally a fashion version of Keats's Ode on a Grecian Urn, except when you turn her around, you see a bunch of tiny little dead Greek people who have been sacrificed to the Fug gods.
That's hair?! What the...
then I remembered how my people don't like Remus references
BWAH!!!
aww...and I loved her on Felicity.
I'm glad she doesn't have enough hair down there to make a butt bow.
When I first saw this, I was thinking, "Man, those girls are nuts. That's a nice dress...okay, there are patches of naked dudes wrestling...that's interesting. Wait, hair? Holy crap...damn."
And I mean DAMN.
Those who are about to fug salute you.
A pity; the dress is rather becoming, however the "tie-a-string-to-my-ankles-and-fly-me-like-a-kite" hairstyle leaves much to be desired.
Perhaps her head can be nailed to the roof of a farm house & used as a weathervain?
I think the dress came with a black bow behind, but seeing how we fugged Penelope Cruz's yellow back-bowed dress at this years Oscars, dear Miller thought she could escape Heather and Jessica's keen sharp eyes by disguising the bow in her hair...
Miller: damn, I like the bow, but I can't have it at my butt behind. They'll fug me for sure!!!
Stylist: well damn, it's a huge black bow, honey. It's gotta go.
Miller: Err no o o ....let me see...heyy, my hair's black, right, and this bow is black! Are you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?
Stylist: I think I am! Walter (hairstylist), let's shake some dust, baby! Here's what I want you to do, sugar....
And lo' n behold..
This is a great look for a sci-fi convention!!
That is where she is, right?
See how much prettier??????
http://tinypic.com/2cy1rq
Oh well done, Leslie!!
Can I employ you as my stylist?
The dress is still an eyesore, even with photoshopping. Then it just turns into a goth prom dress.
it took me a million years to find this, but this is who she looks like--HELGA from the cartoon Hey Arnold:
http://www.nick.com/all_nick/tv_supersites/characters.jhtml?show_id=hey&character=Helga
for those of you who really want to know, from a former 1980 punk, you can sculpt your hair into anything with just plain old sugar and water, it hardens, holds, and washes out easy with water. Just stay out of the bloody rain.
that said, this is such an example of the fine line that sometimes takes one over into fug. Lose the hair in the back, real or fake, get rid of all the medallions and add a gorgeous necklace or earrings and this girl would have been a class act belle of the ball. Instead is the victim of vindictive stylists whom she has pissed off for some reason or another.
OMG, Blackirish, you name-checked Mahogany!!! Is there no end to your exquisite command of cheesy popular culture? I think not. Brava.
That said, this woman used to go with the utterly adorable J. August Richards (formerly Gunn on "Angel") and now I know why he left her. Child was scared away by her possibly lethal hairpieces...
How screwed would you be if you got stuck sitting behind her AND Eryka Badu?
she needs to stop modeling her hair after Queen Amidala. only she can pull that off.
Here is what we like about this look: A) Dress fits properly. B) Dress covers all primary and secondary sexual characteristics.
Here is what we don't like about this look: A) Weird shiny gay Grecian-urn thingies that look like the upholstery you'd find in a nightclub for elderly European "bachelors"; B) Scary hair. Super-scary hair.
And here's another thing we don't like about this look: If you are dressing up in an evening gown made out of Liberace's old curtains, accented with Queen Amidala hair, FOR GOD'S SAKE WEAR SOME DAMN MAKEUP!!!! Why isn't this woman at least wearing some makeup? Eyeshadow? Lipstick? Anything?
Ahahahahahaaaaaaaahaaaaaaa
ha.
Shanty Tramp, I must thank you for that lovely B5 reference... (Geeky Fanboy Moment. Don't mind me. Fug on, my friends, fug right the hell on...)
Obviously, her head is so ashamed of the dress that it has sprouted wings and is deserately trying to flee from the rest of her body.
I'm going to be wildly unpopular and say I actually like this look. It's worth noting that I snorted with laughter at all the snark, and I would never in a million years go with this look myself, but she has this sort of take-me-as-I-am dignity that makes it work for me.
It doesn't hurt that she's not looking slutty. And I will say that I think it would be a good look for Cher, if she was feeling matronly. But I still like it.
B.Ling did it again..this time, with a red thong.
ugh.

OH MY ZEUS, she left the house as an amphora! That is AWESOME. I'm serious. How many people leave the house dressed as pottery from a dead civilization? I give her ten points for having the sheer balls to do it. And really, the coloring and cut are okay -- to me it looks whimsical, or a little eccentric, but not ugly.
The hair, though? NO. NO NO NO NO NO. To paraphrase Coco Chanel, "Before you leave the house, remove two accessories. And if you've sculpted your hair into a giant fucking bow, wash that shit out, you fucked up bitch. Jesus, I'm spinning in my fashionable coffin, here."
So what I hear y'all saying is, I should stop doing my hair like this.
*weep*
since when was "broom chic" in?
I have no idea who that is :P

The dress is stupid, but not ghastly like some of the monstrosities we've seen - Britney anyone?
I think that 'do is the start of a cute animated cartoon. Those wings flap or rotate, her head unscrews from her neck and flys around the room.
Anyone have a picture of the back of her head?
And it's not the people behind her you should be worried about, it's those sitting beside her. Imagine if she were to sharply lean to the side? She'd cut her date clean in half. Or at least take off his nose.
"Billy, do you like gladiator movies?"
Are her earrings little men? They remind me of that Ozark mountain wooden toy attached to a stick, where you bounce the little man's legs off your knee to make him dance.
I'm concentrating on the earrings because the rest is very painful. It hurts me inside.

Oh lordy! I just found this picture of Miss Tangi Miller. Even though it is for a Halloween party, I think it just shows the extent she will go for her outfit.
Warning!! THe colors you are about to see are extremely loud and bright. Sheild your eyes if you can.

I can't get past the fact that someone designed a dress appliquéd with the inside of black-figure kylikes! I do love me some ancient Greek pottery. (I wonder if the other side has the one where the guy is leaning on his staff and throwing up?) I would totally buy this dress myself, if I ever saw it in a store - fug be damned! I am fascinated by this dress.
holy crap that's her hair???
crankybiscuit that is the funniest thing i have ever heard
what gets me is that the circles on her skirt aren't even sewn on very well! The stitching is uneven - on the one on the left, you can see the silver material poking up above the black stitching. It's uneven stitching. I hope she didn't PAY for that dress!
"Somewhere in LA, there is a beauty supply that has been stripped of Spritz Forte and industrial strength hair gel." Texasexile, I sincerely think I love you. I know we're both married and all, but this brings me so much joy, as do all your other quippings here.
As for the outfit, Elvira does grecian sartorial design, and hair. That's all I can think of....
is it just me that see's the irony of her standing in front of a HUGE sign that says "image awards"?
LOVE the dress. The hair is extremely unfortunate.
you guys are nuts, the dress is AWFUL! so hideous.
it looks like her hair is going to fly her away... hahaha.
ohmygod...HELGA FROM HEY ARNOLD. You nailed it!!!
so i've heard about clothing that "lifts and seperates" your boob action... she's just trying to start a new "drag and divide" trend.
also, what third grade class designed this ensemble? it's got it all-- a bodice made of two big ol' circles, a skirt with more iron on patch circles (must be for the math-and-shapes portion of the kiddos' curriculum... or maybe world history what with the illustrations)... paired with skeleton dangly earrings (health class!) and a hairstyle that really really Tried to be a full circle (art class-- they ran out of the papier mache paste), and you've got a look!
Come here honey..it sho is warm in here. Do me a favor and flap your wings for me, I could use so air.
My God, you people are going to have me fired and/or committed if you do not stop making me burst into fits of laughter whilst sitting quietly at my computer, like some kind of mental patient. I really cannot remember the last time a blog filled me with such glee. Someone should compile all these comments and publish the "Go Fug Yourself" Book, Vol 1....
It would be SUCH a better dress if instead of the gladiator mediallions, there were the Grecian pottery depictions of 'man-love' - or dionysian orgies. Laffarific.
It's taken me awhile to understand the fugliness of this dress, but I do believe that the worst of it, is that it looks like the kind of cheap put together frock that you'd find in the Wal-Mart fabric section on a plastic mannequin, with a little billboard underneath it for you to bid on it, and wonder to God if anyone is really that desperate for such a horrid piece, and apparently there always is...
yeah, um, Queen Amidala just called, she wants her hair piece back.
