This happened last week. In my defense….I have no defense.

Men, shmen! Dresses are more fun. We’ll get to the suits eventually, but whatever the hell Diane Kruger is wearing — plus the absurd raft of other famous people in questionable outfits — is more important right now.

This is very delicate. It is very feminine. It is very subtle. It is very….boring?
Look, I can’t really ding her for this. It’s nice. It’s fine. It’s not bad. It fits. It covers her bits. She will not look back at this and wail, “WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?” She may, however, look back at it and say, “I wish I’d saved that for about thirty-five years and bought it in a more interesting color.” Emily, in future, when picking all your awards shows outfits, all I request is that you think about what Revenge’s Nolan would ask you to wear. And then do that. At the very least, it will be SUPER INTERESTING.
This is the part of the week where we feel tapped out, like we’ve made every comment that could ever exist about any dress, ever, in the history of dresses. And yet there are always pictures left in our lightboxes, the ones we would glance at and then think, “Eh, I’ll do that later,” or, “I need to think about it,” and then suddenly it’s Friday morning and we just don’t have any gas left in the tank. But in the interests of being as complete as we can, we want to give you RDJ, and Salma, and Paquin, and Michelle Rodriguez, and Emily “Revenge” VanCamp… we just want you to have nice things, Fug Nation. And sometimes a leisurely Friday oglefest is exactly what the Fug Doctor ordered.

I wasn’t sure about Revenge at first — it just seemed so down-in-the-mouth for a soapy show about a girl who was, for a spell, actually drawing huge Xs over photos of the people she was ruining — but now I’m sold (helped in part by the fact that I like to whisper hoarsely, “REVENNNNGE,” at the end of every act, that is, when I’m not calling it “rewengay” like Hugh Laurie does in the finale of Blackadder II). The show like that Halloween candy that isn’t my favorite, but whatever, I’m in the mood for something sweet, and then ten bars later I’m like, “Damn, we’re out, I need to go buy a new bag.”
And to make this thematic, I hope Emily VanCamp goes ahead and gets revenge on whomever told her to wear this.
The color is such a delight, but the dress itself feels like the limpest saloon couture imaginable. And damn it to hell for forcing me to use the phrase, “saloon couture.” That shouldn’t exist. Now my mood is as frayed as that bodice.

Fugs and Fabs: Everyone Else at The Iron Man 3 Premiere
It takes a guts — and gusto — to compete with Gwyneth for Most Attention-Grabbing Attire at any given event, so bless Hayley Atwell for trying. Hopefully she will not be punished for it later.
