Unfug It Up

Hey guys! Remember when we Unfugged this dress on Diane Kruger?

Someone else made her own attempt to UnFug it, and then wore it out where we could all see her efforts and therefore judge:

Unfug It Up: Anna Paquin

It's UnFug The Cast of True Blood week here on GFY, I guess, because after tackling Sam Trammell (or, as one of our commenters put it, "the cutest werecollie on earth"), it's time to get down to business with Miss Sookie Stackhouse herself.

I actually might rather like this, although I do think it's a little severe and perhaps a smidge too Amanda Woodwardian on her . On the other hand, she is engaged to a vampire so perhaps severity is the order of the day and goodness knows, she must be relieved to be outfitted in the polar opposite of what Sookie would wear. But I'm interested -- as always -- to hear your take, dear readers. Does she need a little lipstick? Some accessories? Different shoes? Do you LOVE IT? Or would you scrap it and start over? Let's get down to it in the comments:

Unfug It Up: Sam Trammell

I mainlined the rest of True Blood this weekend while house-sitting and am finally all caught up, thank god. I finally feel like a complete person/vampire/shapeshifter.

Which is why when I saw this picture of Sam Trammell, I might have shrieked, "Sam Merlotte! What in the HAAAAAAAAAAAAAALE are you wearing?"  I sounded like my Southern grandma. Which is thematically apt, as she is dead. But here's the thing: this could have been totally okay. Sam is totally cute, and a light suit is summery and appropriate. But it's also ADVANCED MAN FASHION and I suspect our boy here got to his shoes and was like, "...I have no idea what do to here," and just put on his usual and left. "No one will even be looking at my shoes," he probably said. "I look so cute without my shaggy dog haircut." Oh, Sam. You forgot about us. We ALWAYS look at the shoes.

Welcome to the Inaugural Man Unfug It Up! Time to play stylist and fix this dude:

Unfug It Up: Lynn Collins

So, Lynn Collins here has been popping up all over the place lately -- often wearing a top hat, for some reason -- and I swear to God, I couldn't for the life of me remember what role she played in True Blood. (Of which I have only seen the first season thus far, due to a long and very boring story involving HBO, my OnDemand, Time Warner Cable and Netflix. I know. It's annoying. And iTunes doesn't have any of season two available yet. I JUST NEED THE FIRST SEVEN EPISODES, HBO. Deep breath.)

Anyhoodle, I eventually figured out that she played a coworker of Sookie Stackhouse's down at Merlotte's who meets with -- shall we say, a less than ideal end? All I know is, if you look WAY better in the super short shorts and white tee shirt sported by the lady employees of Merlotte's than you do in your civies, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG. When it comes right down to it, thought, I don't really loathe this dress SPECIFICALLY. I think that it competes horribly with the backdrop here, which is not her fault, but mostly I think the styling on this is....problematic. Those shoes with that dress, and that lipstick, and that hair....honey, I just want to start over with you.

That's where you come in, readers: put on your best Rachel Zoe and fix this mess. Nicely, of course.

Unfug It Up: Diane Kruger

Sometimes, no matter how much I like or dislike a person, I get REALLY sick of writing about them when they're on an unending press junket. Such is currently the case with Diane Kruger. I have nothing against her, particularly, but I am SO READY for her to stop being on the job pimping Inglourious Basterds (and yes, I typed "Basters" again, and yes, that happens EVERY TIME -- including yesterday, when I caught myself, started typing a digression that included a joke about it being a movie about alternative conception methods, deleted said digression because I have already made that joke... and then accidentally left it as "Basters" for half the day anyway).

My point: Diane, you are lovely, but please go home and get some rest for a while so that other starlets can come out to play. I'm fresh out of comments about your cute boyfriend, and I don't have a whole lot to say about your acting chops because my experience with you is limited to Troy and the two National Treasure movies, which have only taught me that you can capably wear a toga and act like Nicolas Cage's hair is something normally found in nature.

In that vein, my brain can't unscramble itself to form a coherent theory about this dress. All I know is, the sleeves are begging me to make another tired figure-skating joke; it's squishing her boobs weirdly; and the epaulets on the shoulders look like something you'd see in a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon, wherein Hobbes convinces Calvin that stapling aluminum foil to his shoulders will make him impervious to girls, mothers, and sarcasm.

What do you think? Put on your stylist's cap -- it ought to be a fur turban -- and reconceive this outfit, if you DARE. The usual rules apply in the comments: be kind, rewind; sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite; beer before liquor, never been sicker. Et cetera.
I can't bring myself to be mean to Danica McKellar:

  1. She's Winner Cooper. No one my age can really feel anything but affection for Winnie Cooper, even if sometimes you wanted to be like, "Kevin Arnold! Stop whining about Winnie Cooper! Something EXTREMELY POIGNANT is about to happen and you need to be present for it!"
  2. She has a math theorem named after her. That is awesome. I can't even get a sandwich named after me.
  3. We went to UCLA at the same time -- it was truly the golden age of Child Star Celebrity Students at UCLA, as at one point I was a student alongside Danica, Mayim Bialik (whom I once saw wearing a Girl Scout Uniform, with green hair, pulling her books in a little Red Wagon), Evie from Out of This World, and, best of all, URKEL. Although considering how much he rolled with the basketball team, I presume it was actually Stefan Urquelle.
    However. Let us be honest. This was a bad idea, even if she did wear it to the premiere of Legally Blonde: The Musical. For one thing, she looks like a Pink Lady, and that's an entirely different production.
  4. Can this be FIXED?
  5. I kind of think not.
  6. But you guys are often smarter than I am. Some of you may have theorems yourself. So pretend you're on Project Runway and you have to make something out of this. GO!

Unfug It Up: Rachel McAdams

Let's talk about McAdams!

89763857.jpg

I....don't....know. I really don't. I mean, on one hand, I feel like she OUGHT to look worse in this. On the other, I also feel like the longer I stare at it, the more it looks like she's wearing it backwards (though I'm sure she isn't). On my mystical third hand (like the third eye, but more helpful for juggling), I feel like I'd LOVE IT if it were a color. On the fourth hand (borrowed from my neighbor), maybe I'd like the white more if she were wearing other SHOES. On the fifth hand (my neighbor's second hand -- I hope you're following), thank god for double-sided tape.

So, I'm throwing it to the peanut gallery. What do you think: is it awesome? Should it be black (or blue or red or whatever)? Should she just scrap it? Play stylist, readers, in the comments -- as always, please continue to be as delightful as you always are:

I'd say Christina Hendricks looks much improved since the last couple of times we've seen her, but I have a SERIOUS BIRD PHOBIA and I really can't even examine this too long:

89584547.jpg

From staring down here at her feet -- WHERE IT'S SAFE -- I would argue that she could maybe use a marginally higher heel, but what do I know? I'm in the fetal position over here. I need the visual equivalent of a mega-dose of Xanax. I know I've got something for that...where is it....?
Okay, Diane. I see where you were going here.

It's a little black dress, very girly, paired with some cute shoes and your favorite accessory: your legs. (Well, second-favorite; we're pretty sure Pacey is her first choice of adornment with any outfit, and that's as it should be. If Intern George ever quits -- PERISH THE THOUGHT -- Pacey just might have a place here with us.)

Ahem. Where was I? Ah, yes, D.Krugs: I just don't know. The twee tutu-ruffle around her hips looked, at first, like her pockets are inside-out, as if she'd been frisked on her way in and not put back together properly. This led my mind on a long and winding path to the movie Clue, whereupon I decided Diane's look here is one part Yvette, one part Mrs. White (please God, not the part where she offs her gentlemen friends), and one part that moment where Wadsworth says, "The gun is missing. Gentlemen, turn out your pockets. Ladies, empty your purses. Whoever's got the gun... IS THE MURDERER."

All that stuff, of course, is awesome. But as a fashion statement? On a day that's NOT  Halloween, nor a local showing of Clue in which a group of players re-enacts it in front of the screen while the audience interacts Rocky Horror-style and shows up in costume (yes, such a thing DOES exist and I've been, and it rules, and I really regret not arriving in a Mrs. White wig)? I'm not sure.

I would keep all the accessories and start over on the dress -- specifically, lopping off the tutu, and adjusting the sweetheart neckline, which doesn't quite look as though it properly fits. Then, maybe some lipstick that's less of a cousin to that whole baby-pink trend. And I'd for sure adjust her hair, because as it is, the greased-back-but-flowy thing just makes her look like she's trying to approximate a mullet. No no, Diane. One cannot go half-hearted with a mullet. You go big or go home.

What would YOU change, if anything? Discuss it in the comments. The usual rules apply: no in-fighting, no back-biting, no arm-wrestling, no using anyone's face as dust rag, etc.

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.
