Independent Spirit Awards Fug Carpet: Maria Bello

Oh, give her a break. She's on her way up north on the Oregon Trail, and if you've ever played that game you know it's hard enough to catch a bison, let alone turn it in to a coat. Girl's just trying to not get diptheria and die along the trail!

Nuh-uh, she's just rising for the morning chores. going to feed the chickens before she makes breakfast , splashes her face in the wash-basin, and changes out of her nightdress.

I know her and she has a completely independent, quirky sense of fashion. That said, none of the pieces go together in weight or style. Odd.

Need to be anon here ladies.

Throw on a headdress and a papoose, Maria, and you’ll be ready for any future sequel to Dances With Wolves.

Dances with Fuglies

I think that might look good if she was in the kitchen cooking eggs. Outside would be a different matter.

Fashion tips from Kate Bosworth? Lame.

Maria Bello gets extra fug points for Minnetonka moccasins. They are a pet peeve of mine and I'm surprised at the number of celebs who buy those cheap, yucky things.
Eeeeewww!

Fashion tips from Kate Bosworth? Lame."//

At least Kate manages to not make it look like she rolled out of bed, put on a belt, shoes, and the old afghan from the sofa, and accidentally made a public appearence before she remembered to change.

P.S. Granted, Kate still looks like she picked up an old tablecloth and made a dress out of it... still.

Easy ladies. Looks like Maria is about to break out in a rain dance. She's got such hot potential. What the fug?

Someone needs to escort her back to Cold Mountain.

Wait. This isn't Sharon Stone, giddy with excitement at having just escaped from a Yukon psych ward before her morning Thorazine dose? Whoops.

That dress is a nightgown, and the shoes and jacket are what you throw on when you sneak outside at dawn to get the newspaper. Hideous.

Mary Ingalls sure has grown up.

Kate's dress was much better than this; this is actually a flattering picture of Bello's ensemble. In side-angle pics you can see that the dress is unfitted, with the belt making it puff up in all the wrong places. It makes the normally sexy Bello look both flat-chested and bloated. But apparently she was still worried that someone might think she is woman-shaped, that's why she added the oversized puffy coat and heavy boots.

That jacket looks like it was mad from the abomidable (sp?) snow beast... and it's eating her.

Oh, I just love the combination of belted 70's hippie dress, moc boots and dead rat sweater. The just out of bed hair is the crowning touch? How did she think of it? How much crack did she smoke before leaving the house?

Julesey, GOOD CALL. That explains a lot here, considering Mary Ingalls was BLIND.

the kate bosworth pic is SO SO much better than this...and i don't like kate's ensemble very much, either.
perhaps maria's having a career crisis and considering an audition for next years' frontier house on PBS. she's got the look down.

With the coat, boots, and nightgown, she looks like she got lost on a morning run to the curb for the newspaper....

You guys! The poor thing has just rolled out of her sick bed and in her delirium (presumably from a prairie-type fever) wandered into the Spirit Awards. THE Maria Bello (the well one) would NEVER show up looking like this - so this must be feverish Maria Bello.

did she mug Huggy Bear for that outsize 1970s cardigan?

also, i know she's working the "down on the farm Cold Mountain" vibe, but does she have to stand like a horse too?

She's not doing a rain dance; she's doing the PEE-PEE dance.

ugh, those boots. The geekiest guy in my high school wore them, and they still make me shudder. I realize the Indie awards are more dressed down, but this is absurd

even if she is holding in a bloated bladder, she still looks emaciated. another breast-free zone.

The dress, the belt, the mocs: a coherent fashion statement. Not the statement I would choose, but I understand it.

That sweater though. I've seen those around, and I think they may be the ugliest garment ever. They're ugly beyond irony. Ugly beyond a knowing wink. Just plain boring depressing ugly.

It makes me think of vulgar, cheap, 80-year-old bookies in dank back rooms. Not that I've seen any of those, but that's what comes to mind.

It makes me think of Jeff Bridges as the Dude in The Big Lebowski, wearing it over his baggy cotton pants.

It makes me think of greasy unwashed things. I hate that.

Who needs makeup when implants for cheekbones do the job?!

Someone is going to throw red paint on her...

Not because they're animal rights activists or anything, but because she's really asking for it.

She is wearing a moomoo. Or, is that moo moo? In anycase, she is wearing the same dress that Homer Simpson wore when he got fatter--but she chose it in white. Her feet look like she wrapped them in skinned gophers. And my 80 year old granny in Palestine bought that same sweater from a traveling gypsy in 1974. It has been rotting in her attic for decades.

Little House on the Fugly

i think she was up at the soho house's pad in laurel canyon smokin' the wacky tabbacky. in laurel canyon you can get away with this -- in fact, it was, at one time, the uniform there. that time was 1972.

did she just roll out of bed? I really hate it when celebs pile on EVERY trend ALL AT ONCE. I can't tell if she's getting ready to do a square dance or a rain dance?????

*in lispy "gay" Robin Williams voice* "I just love this look! It say's "I love animals! I just prefer if they are dead! If the look says rabid and molting, even better". Ick, did a 1973 Chevy Van run over her in the parking lot?

little house on the scary? fugs with a fist? Bury my fug at wounded knee? the prairie fug companion? these are the jokes, people.

Coyote Fugly.

I have boots that are similar to the ones she's wearing.

If I ever don such a getup with said boots, I trust that one of you will take me out and shoot me, then make a nice rug from my hide.

Sadly, I can't tell any differences (seriously) between that dress and my mother's favorite nightgown. Well, except for the accessories, of course. I need to get my mom on this website to show her that her nightie can do double duty as formal wear! Excellent job showing financial responsibility, Maria!

Holy mother of pearl. That outfit would look like ass if you wore it to the corner store for a gallon of milk--to wear it to a professional occasion just screams "HELP ME" really, really loud.

Apparently, Maria Bello's going for a different "old hag" chic here--she's not trying to be the overtanned old Miami Beach lady with glittery accessories and a fur turban a la Candace Bushnell, Jessica Simpson, et al; she's not trying to be an obscure mentally ill member of the UK royal family, a la Kirsten Dunst, Maggie Gyllenhaal, et al; Maria's going for the high school guidance counselor who smells like patchouli and has an autographed picture of Janis Joplin on her office wall. Points for originality!

It seems poor Maria escaped from the 'Astral Travellers Holistic Commune' in Ojai just before we were going to drink the purple kool-aid.
Papa Juju Guru Goombah is angry.

Maria please come home!
We have candies and flyers to deliver at the airports! Tambourines and tablas to shake.
Your sisters and brethren miss you!

I like when the pockets of my sweater are at my ankles. My big fringy fugly "crepe soled" boots may need a tissue.

I kinda like it *hides*

OMG. With all the money she makes, couldn't she afford something more classy than this "staight-from-the-salvation-army-racks" outfit? Her boots look like they've been through WWII. What a mess.
Pathetic!!!! Maybe she's broke. Could someone sent her a check?

"Coyote Fugly"

Perfect! lol

I think she woke up late, splashed her face, and headed for the door until she realized she wasn't wearing any shoes, so she grabbed her shitkickers from the front hall and the sweater she wears to run down to the 7-11. At least she ran her fingers through her hair before grabbing her S.O's belt from the floor.

Ladies, that's a Cowichan Bay sweater. It's also eight sizes too large, and - if it's cold enough for a CowBay sweater, it's too cold for a cotton eyelet smock.

I actually really like the dress. I've been looking for a nice flowy, romantic nightgown like that.
