Here's the thing. We here at Go Fug Yourself are SO PLEASED by how good Brittany Murphy looks....from the neck up. She's abandoned the unfortunate blonde look in favor of her own naturally brunette locks. She looks so much prettier with the new hair -- and the couple of extra pounds she's added helps. She's certainly still slim, but she looks healthy and happy.
But. The outfit.

Tai, Tai, Tai! What would Cher say? I imagine it would involve the words "satin garbage bag," and "ew." You are so cute! Why are you wearing something that makes you look like a peach-flavored Stay Puft Marshmallow Woman? Don't do this to yourself! You're such a pretty girl!
What? Is it windy or something? I actually like the color with her hair and skin but the fit is awful. It looks like it is two pieces and neither fits very well.
That better not be a woven straw bag with the satin.
'S'all I'm sayin'.
love the shoes, but that dress looks like The Giant Peach after James and company trashed it. does anyone believe she hasnt had any surgery??? i dont buy it.
One possibility for choosing such an unflattering ensemble, to quote Dionne: "It gives her a sense of control in a world full of chaos."
Good call on the shoes, Fluffernutter. The rest of it just hurts.
Where do celebrities FIND these kooky outfits? How do their stylists keep their jobs??
Remember that scene in the Little Mermaid where ariel first gets to land, and they get her some clothes and they wrap a piece of burlap around her, and tie it with some rope?
I think that's what happened here.
LOL!
Ah yes - the return of the balloon skirt in iridescent fabric. I'm having flashbacks of my 1989 Homecoming dance.
I still think she's too thin. If the camera adds ten pounds,maybe she needs a couple more cameras on her. I also think it's weird that she pairs a Victoria's Secret lingerie/sleepwear satin cami with the matching sack it came in. And the clodhopper shoes with the red nail polish give the impression that each foot has only one giant toe. More than one toe over the line, Sweet Jesus.
Aside from the outfit, which is unfotunate, no doubt, maybe her seamstress ran out of time and just tied it... or something... Where did this girl's upper lip go? First she steals Alicia Silverstone's career, now she's moving onto her face?
Balloon skirt: bad
Balloon bodice: worse
Uh oh..seeing Tai all up in Fugland is bringing back some thoughts of Clueless with me and Cher and Dionne:
AdamP: Do you think that dress is pretty?
Jess: No, it's a full on Monet.
AdamP: What's a Monet?
Jess: It's like a painting, see? From far away, it's OK, but up close, it's a big old mess. Let's ask someone else. BlackIrish, what do you think of Brittany's dress?
BlackIrish: Hagsville.
Jess: See?
Her collarbone could still etch glass - I think she could use a couple MORE pounds.
Both the bag and the belt look as if she made them at day camp. I wonder if she has the macaroni picture frame in her purse...

I guess I've never belonged to the "wear outfits that are the exact same color as your skin" club.
And the shoes. My god the shoes. Different kind of camel toe altogether
It's like she came back from the 20s....
My Blog: Dancing With Tears In My Eyes

I don't understand the facial expression. What is she trying to convey?
She's still thin, but at least I don't see that six pack sternum you see on lots of scrawnies...that's so starved!!
The answer my friend, is fugging in the wind, the answer is fugging in the wind.
She's toe up, Cher. Our stock will plummet if we hang with her . . . .
Oh no, that dress looks like a fashion school disaster! But I blame the designer, it wasn't all Britt's fault... someone had to make it.
can we also hearken unto her bizarre belt?
wtf, yo?
Oh, yeah - all she needs is a wind machine under that skirt to resemble an unfortunate Easter lawn ornament, quite like the ones that my misguided neighbors are featuring.
It looks like she had her stomach stapled, but couldn't afford the post-surgeries where the excess skin is removed.
Can I just say that I LOVE the title? It just makes me want to sing! "Fugging with the Homies........." (insert cool wave-like hand movements)
This looks like she did a little Pretty In Pink on an old bride's maid's dress. And those shoes pain me.
But I should be quiet. I don't want her to poke my eye out. With her chin.
Where are these supposed "pounds" she has put on and how could you even tell under that peach orchard barbie dream dress nightmare thing?
Hey, I liked the blonde hair...when she was Luanne Platter. Love that Texas trailer trash look.
Okay, I agree with the Fug Girls that Ms. Murphy, from the neck up, is looking MUCH better than she was. However, I just have to point this out--do you notice that she seems to have one normal eyebrow and one EEEEEEEEVIL eyebrow?
I blame the evil eyebrow for this catastophe of an outfit...
I object! The dress/skirt with bustier is actually (and sadly) the best thing about her whole ensemble here. As hideous as it is because of its shape, it's still eighty times better than the accessories she's paired with it. Are those yellow and red beads on a silver chain belt paired with a straw purse with a fabric flower???!!! And don't even get me started on cardboard fake suede 1994 shoes from payless. Blackirish is right on about the one giant toe. Not to mention her make-up makes her look like a man!
IS this Brittany Murphy? I'll take your word for it, ladies. Good lord, what a change.
Brit was at the opening of a store for the designer Marni. If the the rest of the celeb crowd at the opening were also wearing Marni, I can confidently say Marni sucks it! If she can make a toothpick look like a mashmallow, imagine how terrible the average gal would look in Marni-wear.
I'd like to point out that for a split second when I first saw this, the little gap between her Girl Scout Camp-made belt and the bottom of her shirt makes it look like she's got a saggy flab of stomach fat hanging over her waistband.
But clearly the problem is this: Brittany Murphy, in defending herself from drug use allegations, told Defamer she's never even SEEN coke before (http://www.defamer.com/hollywood/gossip/brittany-murphy-has-never-seen-cocaine-036369.php).
OBVIOUSLY she's blind, which explains this outfit. How else can you explain someone who lives in Hollywood having never seen coke beofre. I mean, even I'VE seen coke before, and I grew up in Oklahoma.
I'd also like to add that I hate my first name being associated with tramps like her and Mrs. Federline.
www.fastcarsandfastboys.blogspot.com
she totally fugged it, but i must say, the color is gorgeous on her.
Looks like really ugly balloon drapes from the 80's!
The "look what I made at camp" lanyard belt is not that great with the dress..or whatever it is. Notice the attention to detail. The flower, toenail polish, and fabric are the same color. This was not a mistake. This was premeditated. It makes me feel like she went to Home Depot and found some "oops!" paint and liked the color, went home and dipped everything she owned in it....including her feet.
The whole thing reminds me of and episode of survivor where the tribe is rewarded sewing notions and fabric, and they make their own island appropriate clothing. Since Brit is not on an island one of two things need to happen.
She needs to change
She needs to be sent to an island....forever.
Anything less just won't do.
She looks like she was decorated by Hildi Santo Tomas.
As long as we're quoting Clueless...
Me: What the hell is that?
Brittany: A dress.
Me: Says who?
Brittany: Calvin Klein. [or whoever the hell designed that piece of fug].
No, Hildi would've made the dress from cardboard instead of a Hefty bag. And then she would've stapled 1,000 fake flowers to it.
And sadly, that would've looked better than what she is wearing now.
She freaking looks like Teri Hatcher.
Hate to go against the Fug but I thought she looked better as a trashy blonde. I didn't realize she was so ugly until she switched to brown hair. Note to ugly girls trying to pass for cute - dye your hair blonde and wear too much makeup. Ex: Paris Hilton
I want to cry when I see what's become of the formerly adorable Brittany...
That is one pitiful sight! I think that hard, desperate look in her eyes is due to semi-starvation!
Someone please give her a milkshake?
on the plus side, her boobs look great!
From last week's King of the Hill, Luanne Platter on clothes: "Ooh, an estate sale! Pull over, dead people have tons of clothes that they don't want anymore."
Obviously B.M. and her TV character who have been shopping at the same sales.
Re: Her bag
What exactly is that supposed to be on the end of her bag? A flower? It looks like a monkey's paw.
"Ah yes - the return of the balloon skirt in iridescent fabric. I'm having flashbacks of my 1989 Homecoming dance."
O.k. this made me extremely happy, nostalgic and embarassed at the same time CakeorDeath? because I totally remember members of the homecoming court in my town wearing this exact thing. Youza.
"And the shoes. My god the shoes. Different kind of camel toe altogether --BB" Heh. you said camel toe.
Poor Britney, no wonder Jeremy Sisto's character wanted Cher and not you...
I think I made this dress in my eighth grade sewing class. My mom burst out laughing when she saw it. We don't speak of it.
God help me.
I LOVE THIS OUTFIT> I do not know why.
She's definitely still too thin. Her chin looks like it could cut something. I was watching Weird Science this weekend and I was actually really surprised that I couldn't see any of Kelly LeBrock's ribs and she looked really hot in that movie. And then I realized how very, very sad that is and I'm a little afraid that the chicken arms and a dress obviously designed to make her look bigger is considered healthy.
Bis Nation: I LOVE you for quoting Eddie Izzard:
Cake or death? Um.... cake, please!
People keep referring to her by her initials, and it really describes the outfit better than anything else.
The hair - I wouldn't have recognized her.
But it does give her a shred of intelligence, looks-wise.
The thing that bothers me is that it that appears Paula Abdul had changed professions (not that that is a completely bad thing), but look at BM's chest and Paula's the past few times she's been out, out-ed, literally taken out.
Ya know, with different parts this outfit wouldn't be bad. It's not a bad color. With a tighter shirt the skirt would look fine. With jeans or slacks, the shirt would look sort of cute. It's just that SOMETHING in the outfit needs to be form fitting.
i don't even think that's really her.
I love a top that alternately compresses the girls into misery while billowing out around the tummy like only the finest in maternity wear can do. I feel comfortabe saying that not one human aloive could work this ensemble. And I think the color is making me cringe a little bit.
what's worse, when viewed from the side, she looked like a pregnant kangaroo.
Brittany Murphy looks great on the current cover of Jane Magazine...her hair looks great dark.
The thing is, if we'd been there, had scissors and maybe a glue gun, and could have persuaded her to Let Us Help...we could have fixed this up quite well in the ladies room.
I have to say that I think the Brittany Murphy infrastructure is looking much better. The weird schmatte covering it...is throw-awayble.
I haven't seen that exact color of peach since I was forced to wear it as a bridesmaid in the early 90s. It was fugly then, and it hasn't aged well.
Word to the poster that noticed the design is balloon valance-esque. Come to think of it, it looks just like the drapes in my grandma's hall bathroom (except that the window doesn't have squished boobie syndrome).
I still think that if your wrist is the widest part of your arm, you might wanna eat a sammich.
Where did her upper lip go? She used to have one.
Evil eyebrow? That's obviously what got her into this mess, not to mention it's cohort - the vulpine chin.
She had no chance....none....nada....
The irony is that current trends dictate a slim profile, and that celebrities are supposed to be at the forefront of fashion. I did say 'supposed'.
http://www.geocities.com/adalmin
i swear that's a broom 'cozy' my grandma had. although, the broom was much thicker.
geez, it's like looking at a completely different person. Strange, but to me, she doesn't show up as a "Hollywood star" anymore. She now looks like a typical pre-school teacher. It's the hair, ladies. They don't call it 'crown o' glory' for no reason.
As for the dress, meh - nothing fits right: the bustier seems a bit too low and too tight and everything else is just flappy. Reminds me of J/Lo's potato sack wear (i suspect this dress is a burlap sack masquerading as a dress) EXCEPT B.Murphy did the common boo-boo of thinking she can fix up a bad dress something that cinches at the waist.
No, no, no, no, NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay. Empire waistline or belt at the natural waist, but not both.
And stiff shiny apricot upholstery fabric is for old ladies' windows, not for aspiring starlets' gowns.
I hate the shoes myself--they remind me of shoes I bought at Odd Lots in 1983 and thought I was cool.
And the bag is Grandma's too, isn't it, Brittany? Give Grandma back her purse. She needs it. Anyway, it smells like mothballs and old-lady pee.
"She looks like she was decorated by Hildi Santo-Tomas" ... Classic.
This whole ensemble is just putrid, the color, the fabric, the fit, everything. I'm guessing that someone got the bright idea (during a drug induced haze) of taking the drapes down and bunching them around Brittany's emaciated frame with an old bicycle chain. The shoes are obviously borrowed, because they are two sizes too big. The purse, if it can be called that, looks like a large dish towel bunched under her elbow.
I just saw her in that awful movie she did with Dakota Fanning, and I must say from the neck up, she does look much better... but, before I came to my senses and finally changed the channel, I kept thinking that the only reason that she might weigh more than Dakota was the fact that she was taller.

Is that a Wendy Pepper original?
Ewww. Scrolldown icky.
I bought a roll of the satiny paper she's wearing at 'Dollarama', and I wrapped all my Christmas presents with it and they looked fabulous. I was able to neatly tuck and bunch the corners better than her designer.
Dollarama's slogan: "Dollarama, Where Dignity takes a Holiday! So why pay more than a Buck!"
Why has no one mentioned her acting skillz!
Wasn't she Oscar worthy for 'Little Black Book'? I mean she did change outfits in every single scene! If she had a British accent and died a slower death in the movie she would have won for sure!
her feet look too big for her shoes and she looks like shes wearing a satin potato sack
She has a look of grim determination on her face - "hey, I have a feeling I might look a bit gift-wrapped in this - and not in a good way, more like the present you don't open because you already know by the way it's wrapped you won't want it - but it checks the latest look (ie more cloth than you really need) and I do what my stylist tells me even though I *have looked in the mirror and instinctively I know it's not good*."
I may be wrong: like many of the unfortunates who feature on this site, perhaps she has no capacity for mature reflection at all.
Wow... That is truly unfortunate. I'm so distressed by that um... ensemble that I almost didn't notice the hideous shoes, bag and, is that a beaded belly chain I spy? Well, I almost didn't notice, but now I'm afraid I must vomit. Perhaps I should mail it to the designer, and he or she can make an outfit the color of MY vomit too. Seriously, that color is putrid.
Aww...no nude pics? LoL!!! :)
From the neck up she's ok? I think not... the shiny, plastic face is not attractive.
I believe that, in a desperate bid, Oscar-of-suspicion-winner Marisa Tomei killed Brittany Murphy and took her place, claiming a change in haircolor to cover up her usurpation of the career of a young starlet who is offered better roles.
Perhaps she was having a Scarlett O'Hara moment - you know the one where Scarlett pulls down the green velvet curtains in Tara and mutters something on the lines of "I shall have a dress'.... Only BM was in the bathroom at her grandmothers house and there were no green velvet curtains...
Just showed this to my best friend, who said
"Pretty sure that "Silly Putty" isn't a good idea for dress material."
Wish I'd thought of that first!
I think she looks cute.
did anyone else look at the pix from this Marni opening?? everyone (except Maggie Gyllenhaal--someone explain that?!) was dressed in hideously fugly clothes. if they were all wearing Marni, then someone should just declare the whole store a "FUG ZONE" and just send in the FUGMAT team to de-fugify it!
That dress(?) is the EXACT same shade as the one I wore to my little brother's bar mitzvah in suburban Cleveland in 1978. Enough said.
total scrolldown effect - you're fine until you get past her boobs.
"I don't have a trailer, it tipped over.."
--Luanne Platter
Watch out, Brittany, the right side of that skirt's gonna make you tip over!
Y'all keep talking about her garbage dress, but what about those hideous farmer shoes? yuk!!! Brittany, (like Paris, Britney etc.) is a the living proof that a Platinum Mastercard can't buy taste.
Oh shit, I like the shoes. Everything else is yuck, though. It looks like the type of outfit you pick out after having smoked a big fattie.
This is clear example of a petite girl buying something from a designer and thinking she can "just cinch it up or something" because she didn't have time for proper alteratations. I'm betting if you took the belt off and gave the bottom a yank, you'd see it's a nice dress for someone much taller.
Note to Brittney: My great-grandmother made me that purse too, but I don't carry it.
Oh-oh. I like this outfit. And...I would gladly kill someone to be that thin. That's my $.02. Thanks.
Craptastic, you beat me to it. I think we were at the same wedding in 1989 or 1990, and this was almost EXACTLY the bridesmaid dress I was forced into for it!
She has the weirdest facial expressions.
To the "evil eyebrow" commentators: As a sufferer of what I prefer to call "Left Eyebrow Syndrome," (LES) I can tell you that this particular malady has no known cause but is assuredly not evil at all. It is one of those body quirks that I like to think of as "part of my charm." other stars have it too - I think I've spotted Ashley Judd sporting the LES, as well as Alanis Morissette in the post of a few weeks ago. As with Alanis, and this particular fug, in both cases I think the Left Eyebrow is doing all it can to scurry up the forehead and not be associated with the ensemble. Whoever said the thing about it looking like the Little Mermaid in tied burlap sack wins the prize - that is a perfect description!
I think we will see more of the horrible balloon fashions in the very near future, thanks to Marc Jacobs (the man who brought us grunge fashion and sentenced me and my curvaceous self to high school years covered in flannel and ill-fitting baggy clothes). His spring line made the super-twig-models wearing them look fat. I hate him and anyone who will don a garbage bag for fashion's sake.
A walking window treatment...I am reminded of my grandmother's living room circa 1973...all the furniture was covered in plastic and there were runners all over the carpet, too. The drapes were this color.
Is it just me or does this photo have a strange "head photoshop-ed onto a different body" quality to it?? Or is that just that weird effect some models have because their bodies are so emaciated their heads look huge by comparison; a la Close Encounters...
