Camilla Belle

Fugmilla Belle

You know, I'm sorry for all the times we make jokes about how people look like they're figure-skaters.

But people could help us out a little, you know. They COULD stop dressing like they're about to bust out a triple axle and then land on the head of a man dressed as a giant baby that's balancing on the toes of three acrobats, as part of Mystere On Ice. This would save us all a lot of aggro. Particularly the giant baby-man who's about to get a skate blade to the noggin. (Although, have you SEEN Mystere? He totally has it coming.)

Parenthetically: I love a hidden platform in a shoe. It makes the super-high heels secretly very manageable. But I think perhaps footwear is veering away from "hidden" platforms and more toward "I nailed a doorstop to the bottom of my feet." It's kind of freaky. Either hold me, or buy me a Diet Coke. Thanks.

Fugmilla Belle

Remember when Camilla Belle was going to be real famous, because she was dating one of the Jonaii, and she was in that awful movie about cavemen? Yeah, that didn't work out so well. Nor, I would argue, has this:

Unless, of course, she actually IS an ice dancer, and she and her flaxen-haired Russian emigre partner are about to perform a sweeping routine based on Swan Lake, involving all kinds of limbs going all kinds of places most peoples limbs are incapable of reaching. In that case, I'm ALL OVER IT, but those heels are going to be hard to skate in.

10,000 Fug.C.

I love Camilla Belle's flippy hairdo -- it's like she's jockeying for a guest arc on Mad Men:

As a serial murderer, presumably, since I'm a tiny bit suspicious that pattern is somebody's psychological portrait of a killing spree.

Fug The Cover: Camilla Belle

What is going ON here? Not only is Camilla Belle wrapped in a hellacious hodge-podge of pieces -- a cropped coat with alien tentacles attempting to steal second base, a blue shirt with what looks like a piece trailing down the front of some high-waisted formal bloomers, and leggings that look like half-migraine, half-villain in a video game -- but she looks super cranky about it. Which does not give me much faith that I will fall in love with any of the 243 looks Nylon insists will tickle my heart. Especially not if I'm supposed to wear this many of them at the same time. If I were in Franz Ferdinand, and I saw this cover, I might react to being named Nylon's best-dressed band in the world by immediately burning my entire wardrobe and moving to an alpaca farm in darkest Peru.

Even though she's been at major events in New York City, Camilla Belle is still essentially an up-and-coming starlet to the rest of the world -- we'd seen her at Fashion Week for two years without knowing what her deal was, because 10,000 B.C. hadn't come out yet. And while I think I'd be tempted in her position to show up in something with maximum wackitude just for the hell of it, I still think she made a very savvy choice with this dress.

It's elegant but not boring: The icy color is gorgeous on her, the cut is romantic, and the extra flourishes are unusual without being scary. Now someone just needs to put her in a major movie that doesn't force her to wear glorified loincloths and the aura of body odor.

Fug or Fab: Camilla Belle

Conceptually, I think Camilla Belle looks lovely and chic, and pretty damn fortunate to get included on a star-studded guest-list such as the one for this Madonna event. And that color is gorgeous on her. But I just don't know if I can get behind a dress that's constructed to look like the tragic "before" picture in a static-cling commercial, as if the next shot we're going to see is of a  guest's horrified face because Camilla walked by her table, the tablecloth fused with her skirt, and dinner got dumped in everyone's laps while she waltzed on past.

Camilla Fug

First and foremost, a hearty congratulations to Intern George, named -- again! -- the Sexiest Man Alive. But we knew that already. Hoo boy, you should see him stuff envelopes.

And in honor of this auspicious day, starlet Camilla Belle illustrates for us the danger of waist-less frocks. Comfortable? Yes! Trendy?  Somewhat. Flattering? Not always.

To wit, observe Camilla waistless:

Versus Camilla, waisted:

These photos were snapped a mere two weeks apart, so I doubt both that she's gotten herself sprogged up, or that she's developed an appetite for bacon so overwhelming that none of her clothes fit anymore in between these two events.  Camilla Belle is really a lovely girl, with a great body, as evidenced in Picture Two.  And while we are fully supportive of ensembles which allow us to drink heavily and eat plenty of hor d'oeuvres without worrying about popping out of our gowns, there has to be a happy medium between Can't Eat Can't Breath Can't Sit and Check Out My Tent! Don't you think?
