Fug or Fab: Sienna Miller

Fug file:

great shoes,
grey

I have a confession to make. It is really going to shock you. So, I took a little mini-break to Portland this past weekend and I lugged all my magazines onto the plane to do some catch-up reading. I was like three months behind on Vogue. And I finally got to the Sienna Miller issue and I was reading her profile in it and...she came off kind of charming. I KNOW. But she seemed kind of rueful and self-deprecating and like...normal. I know, I've got years of complaining about her behind me but I am willing to admit that I kind of liked her after I read the article and maybe it was just the altitude talking but there you are. Don't worry. I'm SURE this won't last. Although she's being a good sport about what happened on this recent G.I. Joe photocall:

I guess someone had the bright idea to transport the actors across the Thames in one of those white-water-rafting-type boats and Sienna, obviously, got drenched en route. Hee. I have to say, good on her for just going with it.

But let's take a look at her pants:

Fug or Fab: Toni Collette

Fug file:

When I saw this photo, I actually squealed, "Oh! Toni Collette!" I love her and I kind of forgot she existed. (I don't watch her Showtime show. In fact, I have no idea why I still even HAVE Showtime now that The Tudors has forgotten it's a soap opera and has been exclusively focusing on old dudes arguing about religion. BORING.)

And I think she looks pretty great, from the hem of her skirt upwards (although I would put on some lipstick if I were her, I choose to believe that maybe she just left it all on the side of her martini glass just before this photo was snapped). But let's look at the leg/foot situation:

Fug Or Fab, Kate Walsh/Prifug Practice

Fug file:

Kate Walsh has been all about the shorts lately -- which, if I had her legs, I probably would be too. I just read something about how her divorce is about to get really ugly because her ex's lawyer is allowed to depose ABC about her earnings potential at the network, and if that's true, then I guess divorce suits her because she's clearly working out all that aggression on her quads. Thanks in large part to them, I'm actually thinking mostly favorable thoughts about her formal-shorts ensemble here.

Don't misunderstand: It's still formal shorts, and I still find that concept a bit silly. But as far as seasonal whimsy goes, Kate looks kind of fabulous here -- the suit theme is playful, and the clutch and phenomenal gold wedges accessorize it really well without taking it over the top. It all makes me want to go sit outside somewhere fabulous and have a mojito, which is quite an achievement, considering it was 103 degrees in my back yard today and merely walking to the car felt like going into menopause.

However, I wish the hot California sun would've incinerated this little number:

Fug Or Fab/Unfug It Up: Katherine Heigl

Fug file:

KATHERINE: God, I feel good. I'm pretty, I'm thin, I'm loaded, I already have an Emmy so I SERIOUSLY DON'T CARE that I wasn't nominated again NO REALLY I DON'T NEED YOUR MEANINGLESS TROPHIES, I'm in an expensive dress, I'm a brunette again and I kind of look better that way, and I'm taller than, like, everyone standing behind me right now. Life is so good.

VOICE: Hey, Katherine! KATHERINE!

KATHERINE: Who is... Oh, Jesus, no. Not him.

Fug or Fab: Evanna Lynch

Fug file:

The last few times we saw Evanna Lynch around these parts, she was encased in a plaid sack and wearing oversized pants that may have belonged to someone homeless, or to Rupert Grint (sometimes it's hard to tell the difference). So I'd call this a massive step in the right direction for her...

... right up until we get to her ankles. On the whole I prefer shoes that don't give the illusion that the wearer only recently broke free from captivity in someone's basement.

However, credit where credit is due: She almost pulls them off, given that they don't make her look nearly as cankletastic as I would've expected from what amounts to little more than a pair of leather socks. Sniffle. So even though her coat dress is a tad baby-doll and I am loath to throw my support behind her footwear, on the whole our little Luna Lovegood is all grown up and brushing her hair and EVERYTHING. You guys, I think she just might make it after all.

Fug or Fab: Christina Ricci

Fug file:

blue

Since this is an opinion site, I suppose I shouldn't have to disclaim that the following is just my opinion. But in this case, I really am guided by one knee-jerk reaction against the material.

Empirically, Christina Ricci is a very cute girl, and I like the cut of the dress. But I'm entirely turned off by the fabric. I am not a fan of light-blue satin that's so shiny you could look down at Earth from the moon and groan, "OW, MY EYES." It feels like that color and that fabric should only be married in the form of slinky pajamas or perhaps a bridesmaid's dress -- which makes me wonder if she's simply trying to salvage gowns she'd already ordered for her aborted wedding to That Dude She Was Engaged To For Like An Hour. I appreciate the nod to recycling, if that's the case, but couldn't she have made some sleepwear? Or perhaps a raft of really nice pillowcases?

Just in case my bias against the material has blinded me, though, I shall throw it to you, Fug Nation:

Fug or Fab the Cover: Rachel Weisz

Fug file:

Harper's Bazaar

[Photo: Splash News]

Let's talk about this.

She's beautiful, of course.
Does she look a bit...vampiric?
Although vampires are really IN right now.
I like hot pink!
She looks hungry.
FOR BLOOD?
Maybe just for a sandwich
That's a LOT of makeup.
It's a magazine cover, you dolt! THEY WEAR MAKEUP. Besides, she's supposed to be SMOULDERING. What better way to smoulder than via massive amounts of eyeliner?
That's an excellent question.

Fug or Fab: Jessica Simpson

Fug file:

red,
stripes

I wish I had a more complete set of these photos (you can see them in greater detail at Celebuzz), but you guys are smart. You can work with this. The question is, CAN J. SIMP?

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

Skin-tight, calf-length horizontal stripes are ballsy for anyone. If I thought she was savvy enough to be credited with this sort of forethought, I'd almost imagine that Jessica Simpson is wearing this to say, "people, I could not be happier with my body, so BUZZ OFF." Because you don't wear something this body conscious unless you think you look super hot -- or you're dying for attention. And you know what? I wish it was maybe an inch shorter, but I think she's kind of working it. I can't believe that, over the last five years, I've gone from "JESSICA SIMPSON, GO AWAY," to "Oh, leave Jessica Simpson alone! God! She's PERFECTLY FINE!" But there here we are.

Fug or Fab the Cover: Emma Watson

Fug file:

Elle,
Harry Potter

We have gotten many a concerned email about this cover from readers, and I must admit that I feel you. But not really because of Emma, so much -- her face looks great, I think, and the rocker girl hair is a fun change from Hermione Granger (not that I don't love you, Hermione). We don't get to see her look hot very often and this is a nice youthful hot that doesn't feel all awkward. It's more that I am totally weirded out by the office stool they're making her straddle. This photo feels like....well, picture it: you're sitting at your desk at Elle, just minding your own business. You know your wacky officemate Emma Watson is off in the beauty closet, doing something. But she totally surprises you when she straddles her office chair and pushes herself across the room to your desk to pay you a visit and show off her hilarious/fierce Chanel get-up and massive eyeliner. You pick up the Polaroid on your desk and take a few jokey pictures of her. (If this were a movie, a montage would break out, obviously.) And this is like your jokey montage pictures somehow landed on the cover of Elle. Which would be fine if she wasn't on an office chair. It's just...weird to me. Also, that bodice looks like a chalice, but who am I to argue?

BET Awards Fug or Fab: Alicia Keys

Fug file:

Okay, first and foremost -- because I believe in the power of positive reinforcement -- I just have to say that I love when Alicia wears her hair the way she did last night at the BET Awards. I think she's very pretty to begin with, obviously, but there's something about this look that is really flattering. And I liked what she wore on the red carpet:

She looks leggy and summery and I love the color. But speaking of leggy, shall we take a looksee at what she wore inside?
