Fugger: Carrie Underwood

Billboard Music Awards Fug or Fab: Carrie Underwood


This photo reminds me of that time Steve Sanders grudgingly took Donna Martin to a dance, and she wore a giant red dress with a hoop skirt and needed constant wrangling all night because she couldn’t sit or stand without help:

Mike Fisher is doing a better job than Steve did of figuring out how to stand near it. And I suppose the overskirt is all artfully crinkled and smashed, so there’s nothing he can do to it that doesn’t look like it’s already been done. There’s something very pretty about it, and also something ” very pretty Monet depiction of a head wound” about it. Check her out solo and see what you think:

ACMs Feh Carpet: Carrie Underwood


Is it just me, or does Carrie Underwood not seem all that jazzed about this?

Sure, she’s smiling, but it’s the stretched, tight grin of a woman who’s been told by a kinky saboteur not to complain or else her shoe closet will be set on fire. So she’s stuck out there in a murky bridal toga looking like her skirt lining got caught in her Spanx.

Fortunately for Carrie, she did come up with one way to keep herself legitimately entertained:

Grammy Awards Fug and Fab: The Country Blondes


I am not grouping these three together to be dismissive; rather, I’m doing it because they are, in fact, all blonde, all past, present, and possibly future country singers, and all wore either light or dark — or both — sparkly gowns, to the point where my eyesight blurred them together into one Master Blonde. The trifecta of Fashion Week, the BAFTAs, and the Grammys will do that to a brain. Mine looks like pasta right now.

ACAs Fug or Fab: Carrie Underwood


This one is saved by the shoes.

With a plain pair of peep-toes, it’s what the lead ballerina would wear in Swift Lake at Lincoln Center, which reviewers say has innate charm but gets repetitive after the Intermission. However, with THESE shoes — as much as they look a bit like S&M sweatbands — it at least has some unexpected edge. I think that might be a good thing, although I’m not sure the “I Just Unhooked My Ankles From The Bedpost” look is something we should all try at home. On several levels.

You the Jury: Carrie Underwood at the CMAs


It’s probably supposed to be country music’s biggest night, but really, it’s Carrie Underwood’s stylist’s biggest night. Apparently Carrie Underwood had ten costume changes, but our photo sources only gave us access to these, so we must forge ahead and try not to feel the ache in our soul that we didn’t have a photo of the neck ruffle that looks like she wronged an accordion. Band together and examine the evidence before determining whether she is guilty or innocent of fug in the first degree. Or second. Or even third, if you want. So many degrees.

Jury, render your verdict:

At first, I thought Carrie — performing at the country music version of Coachella — was just wearing a very summery dress.

How wrong I was. My whole history with this site involves a lot of “at first” statements that devolve into something aorta-ripping, and of course, this is that same story told for the 10,000th time.
