Fug File: Well Played

Better Played, Jessica Chastain


Chastain LOVES McQueen:

The good news is that McQueen loves her back. This is sort of great, right? The neckline is kind of…let’s just say I kept staring at it trying to figure out if I like it, and then I feel weird that I have spent so much time staring at her boobs, so I gave up on that. But it’s relaxed, in a good way, and she’s working that. I love that it’s just a light pink that it’s basically white, and I extra love that it doesn’t seem to be torturing any of her vital organs. Do I wish she had a pop of extra color? Yes. But I want a lot of things, including world peace and the hand of Jon Hamm in marriage, but sometimes we have to be happy with what we’re given.

Well Played, Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron


I love the expression on K Stew here:

It’s basically, “I can’t believe I have to stand next to this goddess for WEEKS.” Chin up, sweetie — you look great, too. And now that you’re back to your super short minis, you surely feel more like yourself.

Well Played, Eva Longoria


I guess The Widow Longoria — who has apparently come out of mourning, at least temporarily — is at Cannes as a “L’Oreal Brand Ambassador,” which must be a terribly taxing gig a la coal mining or defusing roadside bombs discovered next to an orphanage.

She’s certainly dressed for the part. This is major, and I think she’s kind of working it.

Well Played, Diane Kruger


Man, I forgot how much I enjoy Cannes. People bring it, and then sometimes other (crazy) people decide to stay there instead of coming home for their bail hearings and then claim it’s because someone stole their passport, LINDSAY. But I’m sure La Krugs has her papers all sorted. Let’s look at her outfits!

Well Played, Kristen Stewart


Sooo ladylike:

That’s not  slam: I actually think this is a really nice change of pace for ol K. Stew. It’s flattering and kind of old school, but the pattern is graphic enough that she doesn’t look stuffy or boring (the belt helps, too). Rumor has it that she and Charlize are off to Cannes this week, and I could not be more excited to see what they trot out. Whoever is styling them is making some, um, really discussion-worthy choices, which sometimes is truly all I ask. Bring it on, lady!

Well Played, Jennifer Love Hewitt


Look, ma, no bandages:

Is it perfect? No. There is absolutely no reason for the nylons in this scenario, and the dress is creasing in weird spots. But I think it’s so much more eye-catching than what she usually wears. It’s not that Jennifer doesn’t have the body for a bandage dress; she does. She’s got a great figure. But oftentimes, great figures are done a disservice when you’re aching so hard for people to look at them. Here, she’s relaxing a little, and it’s a striking, flattering change. We can still see the hourglass; we just aren’t looking at every grain of sand passing through it.
