Met Ball Fug-or-Fab Carpet: Kate Beckinsale

Fug file:

go big or go home

I will say this about Kate Beckinsale: Even if it's not actually true, it feels like she shows up to everything -- no matter what level of formality it is -- in a strapless satin dress that's usually accompanied by an elaborately Prom-esque updo, so I'm pleased she went more over-the-top for the Met Ball.

In some senses, I really like this, because I totally understand why a girl might want to wear a giant skirt and train to a huge event: Where else in your life can you do it? It's not like you can wear it to the supermarket, or to yoga, or to pick up your kid at school -- well, unless you want all the other parents to conspire to lock you in the trunk of a very small vehicle with shitty suspension and take you for a quick ride around town.

But I can't decide how I feel about this PARTICULAR elaborately beskirted dress. The colors are interesting, but the top part does feel a bit like a lazily bedazzled tank, which is slowly being devoured by a sea creature from the treacherous deep. And it's also unfortunately VERY challenging to wear a dress in this vein without being compared to the benchmark of giant-traindom, Penelope Cruz's 2007 Versace from the Oscars:

This picture ALSO makes me laugh:

She's all like, "Yeah. I know. It's short. Take the picture, bub." I also love the woman in jeans in the background -- clearly a photographer or something -- who is just sort of slack-jawed by what she's seeing. I like to imagine that she's staring at Madonna right now. Although, in fairness, when I saw what Madonna was wearing, I looked more like this:

Wait, that's wrong. I was NOT asking anyone how to talk to an angel. It was more like this:

This photo totally cracks me up:

Ashley Olsen's bf, Justin Bartha: Book of Secrets, is totally checking out her ass. And I think he likes what he sees:

I want to find this cute and youthful. I do.

But it looks like it was fused together from melted-down Mini Babybel wax covers, and now all I want is some cheese.

DEMI MOORE: Hahahahahaha!

KATE HUDSON: Hahahahahah...wait, what are we laughing at?

DEMI: Oh, NOTHING!

KATE: Really? You seem so MERRY.

DEMI: Well, yes. I can't help it. I am INSANELY HOT and appear to only get HOTTER as the years tick by. Wouldn't YOU be happy too? Especially if you knew that there was simply no argument as to your hotness?

KATE: Is there argument as to my hotness?

DEMI: Maybe not your hotness...but certainly your dress.

Fug or Fab: Anne Hathaway

** Whoops, when this first published, the poll didn't show up properly -- but it's there now, so vote away!

You know, as much as there's still a lot of residual sympathy for Anne Hathaway's crappy summer breakup with the extortionist, I have to say, there are worse ways for her to dry her tears than on the piles of expensive clothes people are throwing at her now (which I know has to do with her career and not her sadness, but still, VERY fortuitous timing there). Seriously, she could get her calls returned by any major designer she wanted -- assuming she even had to bother picking up the phone in the first place. That's a pretty good piece of karmic payback for having the bad luck to be in love with a dude who allegedly uses the Vatican's name to rip off his marks. (Seriously, did it REALLY need to be said, "Hey, don't tangle with the Pope"? Did it? Are you SURE, jackhole?)

Anyway: Sometimes the knowledge that she's essentially A-plus-list at this point makes me judge Anne's clothes a little more harshly -- since I would be shocked if she ever only had one option for a given event, it's a lot more interesting to me to see what she picks, and I spend a lot more time scratching my chin and trying to decide what I think while also concentrating REALLY HARD on not furrowing my brow in the usual spot above my nose lest it become so deep I could stash a Twinkie in there.

This is one such outfit.

In theory: Cute, I think. Obviously she's had a little trouble keeping the skirt from riding up when she walks. The hair, makeup, and accessories are spot-on with a dress that's got so much happening around the shoulders, and the fact that there IS detail around her shoulders to keep it from just being a tiny blue strapless number is great. But I'm not sure how I feel about the exact Something that's there.

Let's go in for a closer look at it:

You are, of course, a timeless beauty and this dress is theoretically lovely. But do I, or do I not want to come over and yank it up just about an inch and a half? Do I, or do I not want to revamp your accessories? Do I, or do I not want to ask you if maybe -- should I choose not to hoist your dress up a wee bit -- you might want to put on a bra? Do I? Or do I not?

Fug or Fab: Halle Berry

Fug file:

Love the sassy haircut, Halle, but I can't decide how I feel about the cleavage:

On the one hand: You've got it, and it's holding up nicely, so why not flaunt it through a little peekaboo fabric? But on the other, given how much of her chest is relatively uncovered, I have concerns. Specifically, is that thing a maximum-security prison or one of those country-club jails where you can play mini-golf and sunbathe and accept conjugal visits every other evening? The point being, if she were to, say, run up to hot Taylor Kitsch from Friday Night Lights and fling her arms around him, would one or both of her nipples escape unabated? I am afraid.

Fug or Fab: Miley Cyrus

On one hand, I think this is pretty cute: it's youthful but not skanky.

On the other, it's eating her neck like a Subway sandwich and the item aRthat's doing the eating kind of looks like an Elizabethan ruff or something you'd see around the neck of a moderately subtle mime. Are the only options available to a young girl SKANKY or MIME? Because it seems like there's a lot of acreage in between those two.

When I saw this pic in thumbnail form, I thought, "oh, Alexis Bledel looks nice. I wonder what she's been up to lately."

Apparently, one of the things she's been up to is, "attacking all her LBDs with a pair of scissors." Behold:
