I am experiencing some serious fugja-vu here, courtesy of Chloe Sevigny:

Aside from still having legs and a shoe closet to die for, Chloe apparently also has this ensemble in more than one shade of bland. Because you never know when you'll need TWO blazers with scalloped skirts that always catch in your crotch and either make people wonder if they're culottes or create unfortunate wrinkles that point right up your fun zone. I mean, it only makes sense: It's CLEARLY blasphemy to wear the ecru at night, so of course you'd keep one in your closet that's a more thrilling beige hue, or perhaps a daring latte-tinged flavor of khaki -- you know, a tan that really brings your new blood-orange colored lipstick and the kaleidoscope of sequins you've sewn to an old ballet leotard. I'm so pleased Chloe understands these kinds of nuances.

Oh, please, sister. Is this all you got?

Short shorts last seen on Tobias Fünke and uncombed hair? That's IT? That's all you got? Please. If time-travel were possible, the Chloe Sevigny of 2004 would storm over there and kick you in the shins for delivering such weak sauce. Get back to me when you're wearing a sombrero and a skirt made of coffee filters. Otherwise, stop wasting my time.

Big Fug II: The Big Fuggenning

Fug file:

Uh-oh.

I wondered if Chloe's appearance yesterday was the harbinger of more crazy craziness from Ms Sevigny. And now it appears my question has been answered. And apparently the answer is: HELL YES. To which I say: BRING IT ON, SISTER. I can take your super shorty short shorts and your tonsorial salute to Donald Trump's majestic comb-over. I relish them. I am READY for them. I HAVE MISSED THEM. I command you to look at the events on your social calendar for this summer and devote yourself to wearing the bat-shit-craziest things you can find to each of them. Out-do your past self. Show those wackadoo upstarts like Katy Perry and Aubrey O'Day how it's REALLY done. I mean it. This summer. You and me. Fugger v. fuggee. Your assignment is to veer drastically between wearing, like, a bucket as a tube top one day and looking wildly hot the next, and mine is to tell the internet my deeply conflicting feelings about you. Just like in the olden days. Seriously. Keep making the rounds. I promise you, it's going to be awesome.

THIS IS SO EXCITING. No, I mean it. Chloe Sevigny isn't out and about as much as she used to be, and I started to miss her. She's reliable -- either she looks CRAZY or she looks AMAZING, and that's all I really ask for. Something really wretched and terrible, something utterly batshit crazy, or FABULOUSNESS. Or the trifecta of all three at once. This doesn't quite hit all points, but it IS delightful in its own way:

Who else would come out of the house looking like Mary Poppins from the waist up, and Leggs McGee from the way down? I mean, as far as I recall, there is NOT a scene in Mary Poppins where she goes out for a date with Bert in a rather scandalous -- yet still demure -- shorts suit, but maybe Chloe here is angling for an updated version. In her iteration of the Disney classic, "A Spoonful of Sugar" is mashed up with "Pour Some Sugar On Me" while Mary cavorts on top of a horse and buggy, and "Jolly Holiday" is actually remixed with Madonna's "Holiday" while Mary takes Jane and Michael out to buy cone bras. I can almost read my angry letter now.

Fug or Fab: Leighton, Chloe, and Kate

Fug file:

At the Chloe store opening last night, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that most of the celebrity invitees were clothed in the label's outfits, especially since many of them had the same shoes on or similarly cut things. But as I'm fond of pointing out, you can always say no to something if it's sort of blah. Ergo, onward we press.

First up: Leighton Meester, wearing something that almost gave me a heart attack because initially I thought it was the same thing Aubrey O'Day had on here. But then I realized that, no, Leighton got her hands on the expensive and better-made version:

Those shoes are crazy, but also sort of beautiful -- I appreciate them as art, but can't help thinking they look a little clunky on an actual foot. Still, they're the least of my issues: Now that Leighton's hair is lightened, her skin is self-tanned a little more, her outfit is a fleshy peach-orange color, and she's enrolled in the Emily Deschanel School of Undereye Makeup That Makes You Look Exhausted All The Time, La Meester no longer really pops. Everything kind of blends together. Not to mention that the waistline and giant tie on that skirt reminds me of a pair of shorts I REALLY LOVED back in fifth grade. But I appreciate where the whole thing was going, and although this is faint praise indeed, she certainly could look a lot worse. And my other question is, if Aubrey O'Day wore the Designer Imposter version of this outfit first, does it ruin anything this one is trying to do?

Next up: The Sev.

Having been to Coachella a couple times, I know it's really hard to judge what people wear there: You're in a giant polo field in the middle of the desert, temperatures are usually upwards of 95 degrees, you're there for ten hours or so, and somewhere around 3 p.m. you want to lie down in a corner of the lawn and die peacefully of heatstroke. When beer re-hydrates you almost as well as water, you know it's tough going out there.

But you know what doesn't help in that kind of weather?

Thick socks and your grandmother's best sandals. It's been a few years since I've gone, but I'm pretty sure Coachella hasn't added a Bingo Tent.

Seriously, dudes, I hate it when Chloe Sevigny shows up places and looks awesome, and it's happening more than it used to.

See? Other than kind of straggly hair -- which, awkwardly, I myself have RIGHT THIS SECOND -- and that questionable choker, she looks totally fine and cute. Maybe even -- HORRORS -- a little boring. Except for the shoes, of course. I want to club her over the head with a sack full of oranges, rip those off her feet and go running into the dark, cold night, laughing uproariously and cradling them to my breast like a precious, precious baby. Because I dig them. A lot. But otherwise, I kind of miss those halcyon days when she used to run around that that Art Garfunkel hair do. So this fills me with ennui.

Fug or Fab: Chloe Sevigny

I haven't seen hide nor hair of Chloe Sevigny in ages. Maybe she's too busy filming Big Love to get out much anymore, or maybe she's just been hanging out at home working on a giant jigsaw puzzle of Mount Rushmore and drinking cocoa or something. At any rate, I admit that I am pleased to see her out and about once more:

And I actually think she looks kind of awesome. Sure, the top of it is kind of unusual, in a way that could get sort of Springing-Out-of-an-Envelope-y, but I think it works. But it's entirely possible that I've been so Sevigny-starved that I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Fug Love

Usually, I can count on Chloe Sevigny for one of two things: looking shockingly awesome, or -- more often -- wearing something so weird that it reminds me all over again how she was one of the original icons of fuggery back when we started the site, thus enabling me to throw a cathartic tantrum. Rarely does she snooze it up for us by landing somewhere in between, and yet, I can feel the yawn rising in my chest:

Not that it's GOOD. No. Just that, given how Chloe's inspiration these days seems to be seasons 1-4 of 90210, it comes as no surprise to me that she's wearing wide-legged business trousers that, say, Brenda would've worn with a tie and Doc Martens while she was screaming at Kelly never to speak to her again. I'm mildly alarmed that it looks like she threw the pants on after synchronized-swimming practice, and the hair and makeup are doing her no favors, but overall it bores me. She's The Sev. Chloe Sofugny. Madam Fugigny. She has the skills! She ought to be wearing a dowdy housedress over the pants that's belted with a steering wheel. As it is... this is a poor use of her unique and special talents as an artisan of fug.

Although, in a way, that flares up my dormant righteous rage as much as anything. Yes, I think this outfit is lousy, but I'm also cranky that it's a LAZY form of lousy. Sack UP, SEV. Bust out your feathered hot pants and granny's high-necked lace blouses. Dust off your plaid spandex body-glove and paisley tutu. You were a Fug Madness semi-finalist, for Bjork's sake! Don't let your awful be so ordinary. DON'T YOU SEE WE NEED YOU?

Phew. I guess I sort of got my tantrum after all.
