Fug or Fab: Amy Adams

Nov 14, 2011 By Heather AT 11:00 am

You’re probably expecting me to look at this and sniff, “Ugh. PIRATE WENCH. Hem your skirt to the knee, fair knave.”

But no. The length works on her, and the dress fits her like a glove. The straps maybe aren’t my favorite stylistic detail of all time, but she looks so well-supported everywhere that it’s hard to be mad at them — on the theory that, if they weren’t there, perhaps she’d be tugging the bodice up all night and that would leave no time for high-fives with Miss Piggy. And that’s not okay; in Amy’s place, that’s how I would spend the entire evening, because WHEN can you guarantee that will ever happen again? So I forgive. It’s also worth noting how great her face and hair and figure look. I’m sure this is not news to Amy, but credit where credit is due. She could teach my skin a more than a few things about aging.

So NOW you might be wondering, “Sounds like a Well Played to me. Where’s the beef?”

allow me to answer that

Met Ball Fug or Fab: Amy Adams

This gown is gorgeous.

And she looks gorgeous in it, from the neck down; something about the styling of Amy’s head is giving me pause. I think it’s the hair. Is that a braid in the front there, or just a wave? I’m not sure how I feel about a front-of-head French braid updo, and it’s possible the makeup is overpowering her eyes a little, so that she’s a tad too severe up top for such a freaking hot and gorgeous and cool gown — and all that cleavage — down below. Side note: Those curlicues remind me of how when The Grinch thinks, his head tendrils get all plotty along with him. Fortunately this gown is in less danger of stealing Christmas, although frankly, if it wanted it, I might be all, “Here, take them damn thing, just leave me that cleav, your number, and some Spanx.”

Am I overreacting?

Oscars Well Played: Amy Adams

Feb 28, 2011 By Heather AT 9:00 am

It’s possible that I only love this because this was yet another awards night — in a long, long era of them — in which way too many people showed up in nudes, white, black, or red. (Do NONE of these crazy-ass attention whores understand that if you wear a color, you will AUTOMATICALLY get a pantload of press for it? Let the rainbow be your pimp.)

But it’s also possible — nay, probable — that I love it because it’s awesome.

Amy Adams

Amy looks so beautiful here, and an entire galaxy better than she did in that horribly ill-fitting white dress from the SAGs (the post about which included me whining about how gorgeous fair-skinned redheads should wear colors, and ta-da, she has proven either that I am wise, or that old adage that even a stopped clock is right twice a day). The big question with Amy was the jewelry — specifically, the necklace:

Emeralds are a girl’s best friend, though

Sorry, BAFTAs. Between Fashion Week, the Grammys, and you, something was going to get the shaft, and unfortunately it was y’all. We need to move forward and not spend all of next week’s pre-Oscar days posting on an awards ceremony that’s firmly behind us. But the good news is, we thought a lot of people looked very pretty, including these five ladies. So what if we’re trying to knock out the pictures from your red carpet? The point is, these women are knockouts, period.

SAG Awards Fug Carpet: Amy Adams

Feb 1, 2011 By Heather AT 7:30 am

I know you guys are probably sick of me harping on about wearing colors, but when you are of Amy Adams’ coloring — as I am myself — I feel like wearing white is almost always a huge mistake. It drives me nuts. If you have gone to the trouble of preserving your lovely natural fair skin, then why are you working against it?

She has also, I assume, worked to preserve her lovely natural ribcage, and this dress is working against that. What a shame. I would maybe understand her trying to rationalize wearing this too-tight dress if it were super-fabulous and unmissable, but it’s really not. It’s just another white shift with a halter neck that’s probably going to leave a chafing mark behind when she unhooks it. Not worth the risk. It was even unflattering in motion:
