Fug or Fab: Shenae Grimes

Fug file:

So, as I believe I mentioned on our Twitter feed (we're @fuggirls, it's fun, we were totally wrong when we said we weren't going to enjoy it, we're big liars, we know), the new 90210 is kind of totally better now, all of a sudden. I think it's because the new dudes are cuter, no one is pregnant, and Shenae Grimes accidentally killed someone with her car AND was the victim of a sexting scandal. Accidental murder, plus humiliating sex scandals, equals trashy CW fun. Entertainment Weekly, I apologize for muttering, "Have you lost your damn minds?" at the issue in which you informed me it had improved. You were right, I was wrong.

And in addition to the show getting better, I suspect little Shenae here went and got herself a better stylist, because in comparison to her former body of work, she now looks like a SARTORIAL MASTERPIECE. Like, I may have lost my mind at some point over the last six weeks -- which would explain a lot of things, actually -- but this is kind of...REALLY CUTE. Right?

Fug or Fab: Jessica Lowndes

Fug file:

When I saw this in its original tiny little thumbnail, I was HORRIFIED and APPALLED, the way you'd feel if, like, Spencer Pratt came over to your house and put on your bathrobe and drank all your Diet Coke.

Now that I get a good look at it, I don't know why I had my Spanx all in a twist. I mean, there's a lot going on here -- stripes! sequins! booties! belt! -- but it's kind of cute, in a saucy Show Choir's Homage To Referees sort of way. Right? Yes? No? I need your validation!

Emmy Awards Fug or Fab Carpet: Lindsay Price

Fug file:

Is every single piece I write about the Emmys going to begin, "When I first saw this dress on the red carpet, I [hated it/loved it/spilled my drink with glee/choked on my hot pocket], but now I get a better look at it, I [want to marry it/feel like vomiting/want to die/can't decide]?

The answer to that rhetorical question is: yes. When I first saw this dress, I was like, OH HONEY NO. But it's sort of grown on me in the last three days, like mold on a fine blue cheese. I think it helps that SHE is so pretty. (By the way, I assume you read that article in Fitness where she says she has actual scars from the zippers on her size zero costumes on Lipstick Jungle cutting into her body? Can I just say, WTF? I know those are sample sizes sent over from the designer or whatever, but she's a PERSON. Her costumes should not be MAKING HER BLEED. SEND. THE GIRL. THE RIGHT SIZE. DRESS. Jeez.) Nevertheless, I kind of think it's more successful now than I first did, but perhaps that's just because I've mellowed over the last three days, thanks to the immense amount of shirtlessness I've witnessed on The CW since Monday. God bless.

Emmy Awards Fug or Fab Carpet: Christina Applegate

Fug file:

Christina Applegate seemed a little cranky when she was talking to Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet, and I figured there were several reasons for this:

a) she doesn't like Ryan for some reason
b) it's surreal to be nominated for a role that no longer exists
c) it was like ten thousand degrees on Sunday.

But once I got a real look at her gown, I thought of another option.

d) she hates her dress. She DID sort of bobble over the designer's name and then kind of dismiss it entirely, so obviously they're in a blood feud. I can't say I wholly blame her. The color is swell -- it really makes her eyes pop, as they say -- but there's so much happening on her left side that I wouldn't be surprised if she started to list in that direction.

Emmy Awards Fug or Fab Carpet: Kate Walsh

Fug file:

So, this dress on Kate Walsh photographed better than I thought it would:

90987529.jpg

I actually kind of like it here, but when we were watching the broadcast, there was a lot of, "OH HONEY NO," and this is why:

Emmy Post-Party Fug-or-Less-Fug: Blake Lively

Fug file:

.. Okay, I'm thinking Blake didn't really understand Leighton's point here. Which, granted, was made in the course of a fictional conversation, but still:

90999846.jpg

It's BETTER, in some ways, but if you're going to flash just as much of yourself, why bother changing at all? I suppose her boob-pits might've gotten chilly, or her left leg became violently jealous that the right one was on display; maybe her shoulders were so convinced that linebacker is totally hot for fall that they refused to cooperate unless she dressed them accordingly. Either way, I think I'd have liked this better if it were EITHER longer, or had a higher neckline. And the fact that the one thing she KEPT was the pigtail-braid... I haven't seen a rope that frayed since gym class.

That being said, at least these clothes appear to FIT. Which, given most of the stuff she's wearing in her GFY archive, is a huge step forward.

Emmys Fug or Fab Carpet: Olivia Wilde

Fug file:

This is another look that caused a fair amount of dissension during the red carpet live-blog. Some readers loved it; some hated it; some, like me, were withholding judgment.

90985396.jpg

Well, my judgment is no longer withheld: I woke up this morning and decided that, while I liked January Jones's dress, this one I did not. I mean, it's one of those things where I GET IT, I just don't care for it. It's like what would happen if an ice dancer and Crystal Barbie had a baby.

Emmy Awards Fug or Fab Carpet: January Jones

Fug file:

While we were doing our live-blog yesterday -- and thanks to those of you who stopped by, it was super fun -- Heather and I decided that we didn't know what to decide about Mrs Betty Draper here, AKA January Jones:

90988630.jpg

This morning, I think I've personally come down firmly on the side of love: it's interesting and intricate without being all Crazy McLookAtMe, and it fits her like a dream. But we promised you a poll, and a poll ye shall receive:

Fug or Fab: Natalie Portman

Generally, I think red and pink really do clash rather loudly, and so I tend to steer clear of it.

FNP_BFH_001120.jpg

But -- and maybe it's just the delirium talking; it's been a really long week -- I don't hate this. There's something bright and fun and spirited about it. Unlike Natalie's facial expression, but presumably, she cracked a smile at SOME point that night. I mean, if you're going to wear an upbeat dress, the least you can do is act like you haven't just had nails driven into your colon.

Fug or Fab: Rachel McAdams

Fug file:

Hey, remember when Rumer Willis wore a top like this with pants?

In our "Unfug It Up" comments, lots of people voted for Rumer to ditch the pants and replace them with a pencil skirt. Rachel's dress, which is from the same Stella McCartney collection, fulfills the spirit of that (it's not exactly the same top -- different sleeves, and I think the seam on Rachel's neck means there's modesty netting present, which... feh). I still like the concept of Rumer's jacket if not the way she executed it, but if Stella McCartney snuck into my house, pinned me against the wall, and forced me to select one of these outfits or else accept a hearty bitch-slap, I'd take Rachel's.
