Fugger: Christina Hendricks

Fug Men


I love how doubtful that dude looks — I love, in general, looking at the expressions of people who find themselves in the backgrounds of candid shots like this.

He’s totally thinking, “Damn it, Hendricks, I had you going SO MUCH FURTHER in Fug Madness this year. 2013 IS OUR YEAR.”

Unfug or Fab: Christina Hendricks and Florence Welch


There’s the old Sally Field chestnut “You like me! You really like me!”, and then there’s the version I think is going through Christina Hendricks’ head: “You… like me? You really LIKE me?”

But seriously, the lady won an Elle fashion award — an actual thing with words on it that she can keep in her powder room — for being the most stylish TV star, and having just snapped like a cheap swizzle stick at her BAFTAs disaster, it’s safe to say I think her résumé in this regard is underwhelming. That said, let’s discuss this: After I initially ran around Jessica’s hotel room turning over tables and throwing lamps against the wall,  because I think this makes her look incredibly broad around the shoulder region, I have since calmed down — and scrolled down — and now cooler heads are in place. The pattern is bold. I like her hair. The shoes seem right with it, and the belt nipping her at the waist reminds us all of those classic Joan Holloway Harris curves. While I think a scoop or a light v-neck might’ve made this a knockout, in the end my knee-jerk tantrum may have been for naught. Although I may have burned off that glass of port I guzzled after dinner, so that’s something.

Are you with me?

BAFTA Awards Fug Carpet: Christina Hendricks


When I saw this outfit, I was alone in my hotel room (Jessica was off gallivanting at a fashion show), and I still said out loud, “OH YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.”

I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that she doesn’t have a stylist; if that’s true then she could get one fast, and if it’s not true, then she should get a NEW stylist. That hair is a stringy mess, and worse, the dress makes her look like a fifteen-pound bag of cantaloupes in a five-pound carry-all. And the thing is, as we’ve noted, she is not big. She’s just not. She is treated like she’s big, but that’s a myth. As is the idea that her lovely, abnormal-only-in-Hollywood physique is just so hard for people who make clothes for a living to dress. Kick-starting that discussion was good, because it’s absurd the way people act like it simply can’t be done, and yet now she’s self-perpetuating that same myth by being completely unable to pull it together on the red carpet. Why? Remember when Lucky did it for her? And in fact, other ladies do it all the time.  She is not a Kardashian and she is not Pamela Anderson and she is not married to Ice-T, so I’m mystified and confounded and baffled and befuddled by why she thought she just needed to wrap herself in something that hoisted the girls up into her chin. I’ve said it before and I’ll repeat it: Some designer, somewhere, should be SALIVATING at the chance to be her signature clothier, because whoever gets this right — for more than one event every six months — will be freaking celebrated. So snap to it, fashion types. Also, we’re serious about that stylist thing, Christina. Get on the horse. It wants to carry you.

Emmy Awards Fug or Fab: Christina Hendricks


Eighty-fifth verse, same as the first.

I’m never even sure what I think anymore. I have Hendricks fatigue. Symptoms include back pain and an inability to remember how boobs are supposed to be arranged. This seems… better? I mean, it can’t get much worse than the time Christina pulled a Johansson (so named for the crime against mammaries Scarlett committed in this dress eons ago), but I do think the cleav may be the least of whatever problems there are. Such as, how it looks like someone shot her in the stomach with a glitter gun. But not really in an ugly way, just in a “This nightie cost me six thousand dollars and so it’s too expensive to sleep in” kind of way.

but let’s go in for a closer look

Normally, I would inject a lengthy diatribe here about how Christina Hendricks NEEDS TO LEARN WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR BOOBS IT’S CALLED A V-NECK AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DON’T OWN ONE.

But I am tired. And I give up.
