I guess we can assume they’re all wearing Calvin Klein.

In which I serve you a melange of random celebrities from (close to) the A list, all the way down to… well, let’s just say a place where letters have no meaning.

Billboard Music Awards Fug or Fab: Selena Gomez

I can’t tell if this is a case of Right Dress, Wrong Girl; right dress, wrong styling; or just… wrong.

The bright parts are fun, I think; I wish she’d gone with a lighter eye and a slightly hotter pink lipstick to play off them. The shoes are fine in theory but don’t deliver on any of the dress’s neon whimsy. My concern is with the rest of it. I feel like I’m seeing more contours than is strictly necessary, and I think maybe someone who has a bit more… authority… would fit the gown better. Selena Gomez is super famous, I get that, but something about her isn’t particularly commanding (yet?). Imagine it on a Miley, a Kate Hudson, even a January Jones. Is it better? Is it groovy? Or is it still just kind of a jumble of burst highlighters and torn paper, like a junior-high kid’s backpack?

Look, this is daft. But after the mind-numbingly unimaginative naked-crazy of Jennifer Morrison, I appreciate a girl who decides to go somewhere dressed as one of Liberace’s drawing rooms.

What do you think?

The Cannes opening ceremony was basically an excuse for YET ANOTHER Gatsby premiere. I feel like a toddler up in here: “Are we THERE YET?”

Fug or Fab: Ashlee Simpson

I am a little concerned for Ashlee’s career prospects that the only thing on her IMDb page right now that’s upcoming is something called Pawn Shop Chronicles, starring Paul Walker, Elijah Wood, Brendan Fraser, DJ Qualls, Vincent D’Onofrio, Thomas Jane, Matt Dillon, Chi McBride, Michael Cudlitz, and… basically, all of them are listed before her on the movie’s page, so I’m guessing her part is not that big. I worry about this every time we’re at Fashion Week, because occasionally she’ll pop up somewhere and somebody will ask what she’s up to and we’ll overhear a very polite but vague answer about how she can’t wait for her fans to find out and she hopes they’ll be happy. It must be very challenging to come up with different ways to say, “Yeah… nothing, really. It kind of sucks. Call me, CW.”

But I’m happy to report that she at least looks dramatic, in what I think is a good way:

My indecision is chiefly the matronly size of the sweetheart neckline, and then the feathers at her waist:
