LEIGHTON MEESTER: Admit it, this outfit totally makes you think of any scene from any show EVER where someone walked into a high-powered woman's office and proceeded to have sex with her on her desk. When they reboot L.A. Law, I am all OVER that.

JESSICA SZOHR: I am stunned. STUNNED. Because... I actually look kind of cute in this.

TAYLOR MOMSEN: BORING.

BLAKE LIVELY: I know this is a romper. I KNOW. And I know it's kind of skimpy. Like I should be wearing it at the beach. But just look at me and remember that I'm hot, and that you love my hair, and then maybe you won't SEE that it's a romper.

LEIGHTON: You can't tell if I'm wearing formal shorts. That is my genius. You just want to know if I'm going to, ahem, prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. If you get my drift.

JESSICA: Why did I get these dumb extensions back in, though? Down at the ends they look like I hacked them off a corpse. I REALLY need to stop undercutting myself.

TAYLOR: DOUBTFUL.

BLAKE: It's just... you don't understand! My legs! I have these LEGS! It's like a curse, having these legs and needing to show them off in tiny, tiny shorts. And these BOOBS. It's like I can't control what they put themselves in, because they just need to be SEEN.

LEIGHTON: You keep telling yourself that, sweetie.

TAYLOR: VOMIT.

LEIGHTON: Oh, quit your posturing and be happy you have a job.

Met Ball Fug Carpet: Leighton Meester

Fug file:

Possibly the best thing that happened to me yesterday was the beginning of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's annual costume ball, because I have never seen a more glorious combination of high fashion and head injuries. It was magnificent. About every ten seconds, Jessica and I would fire another IM to each other that said some close variation of the following: "OH MY GOD, [Insert Celebrity Name Here]. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

We burned many an ellipsis on Leighton Meester here, and used block letters to the point where we should've just hit Caps Lock to keep from scratching the word "Shift" off of that key.

WHAT. IS. THIS? Were it MERELY the dress part, I could perhaps overlook the overall color palette evoking the disaster that ensues when children mix their watercolors. But no. It's not just the dress. It's the red metallic leggings with paisley lace creeping down them like a rare and woeful skin disease, all of which contribute to Leighton looking like she's wearing a matador's living-room wallpaper. Not to mention the twee shoes with ankle bows, and the kind of hair you'd see on a kid making her first communion. Precisely what Leighton is communing with here -- other than possibly a large vat of Elmer's Glue emitting potent brain-scrambling fumes -- I cannot say. So kids, take a lesson: Friends don't let friends drink and dress. And now if you'll excuse me, I need a lot of Excedrin.

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.

Look, I get why Formerly Popular Shoe Brands of the 80s ally themselves with Currently Hot TV Starlets (see: Barton, Mischa, and Keds). It makes sense for them. However, I sort of hate it because it leads to things like this:

Let us not mince words. THERE IS NO WAY LEIGHTON MEESTER WOULD WEAR THOSE SHOES WITH THAT OUTFIT UNLESS CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED TO DO SO. She just...would not. She would not. I will never, for the life of me, understand why the people styling these events don't put Said Starlet into something she might actually wear with the shoes she's hawking. You know, like....I don't know. Jeans? A cute, casual skirt? Emerald green shortie shorts and a white cotton tee shirt? (That's what I used to wear MY Reeboks with, back when I used to take gym class and Luke Perry was young.) I am totally willing to accept the renaissance of the high top, but let's not fool ourselves into thinking Blair Waldorf would actually do this of her own volition. And it's written all over her face:
