Fug File: Awards & Galas

BRIT Awards Fug or Fab: Florence Welch


I realize this is her whole thing — floaty, ethereal, mullety.

It’s just very… I keep wondering if it smells like pollen.

Your thoughts?

BRIT Awards Fug or Fab: Rihanna


I once turned to Jessica and said, “I’m REALLY into sauces right now,” simply because I just thought she would want to know it. I think Rihanna is trying to tell us the same thing about her sternum. It is having a moment. At this rate it will end up hosting Saturday Night Live, probably on an episode where the musical guest is Mrs. Terwilliger’s Fifth Grade Recorder Group.

What do you think?

BRIT Awards Fug Carpet/Grammys Better Played: Jessie J


Jessie J’s expression here seems to say it all.

She’s like, “I know, right? Congratulations to me, I’m the nakedest, blah blah blah.” It’s like very major event is Minaj vs. Gaga vs. Perry vs. Jessie J vs. Rihanna vs. whoever else gets the nudity bee in her bonnet. Doesn’t it ever get exhausting? I think that about Gaga all the time — she’s created this persona and now she can’t even run out for a Diet Coke or a bagel without having to put on something that’s part garment, part contraption, part window. Nicki Minaj is the same. She can’t just throw on a hat and go to the store; she probably has to put on a ten-ton wig first, or else people will talk. Wouldn’t they rather there’s a separation of Church and state, so to speak? When do any of these people find the time to be themselves? They probably can’t do it and get fresh air at the same time. It’s a therapist’s dream.

Let’s see the rest of it, for the sake of being a completist.

Writer’s Guild Awards Fug or Fab: Amanda Peet


Speaking of Downton Abbey (this link has SPOILERS SPOILERS), why doesn’t she just hold up a sign:

“Look at how pretty I am in this,” it would read. “Doesn’t Cora have some younger American cousin who needs to come visit England for a spell? I can totally get shot in a hunting party accident if you want. Call my agent!”

NAACP Awards Fug Carpet: Anika Noni Rose


Listen, I know Anika Noni Rose is really busy. She’s on The Good Wife AND Private Practice.

But surely she is NOT so distracted that she’d be under the mistaken impression that she’s attending the Miss America pageant. As a contestant.

NAACP Fug or Fab Carpet: Tia Mowry


I realize that it’s possible having spent the last week at Fashion Week, where people wore unicorns stapled to their leotards and called it a day, has warped my brain. But am I about to approve of what is essentially a mullet dress? I suspect I am.

Push me to decision!
