Fugger: Kate Bosworth

Met Ball Mostly Well Played Carpet: Kate Bosworth


Call me crazy, and I’m sure some people will, but K.Bos here looks so good that I’m not even mad at her for cleaving to her standard updo. WHO AM I?

Oscars Fug Carpet: Kate Bosworth


Imagine what this could’ve been had the designer not run out of cash right after bejeweling her bikini line. Times are tough, man.

Oh, Sundance. I love the fact that it’s all either cocktail dresses or furry boots and sweaters — finally, starlets understand where/why Uggs are meant to be worn. That said, I’m not sure Kate scored a home run on either front. Here, I keep thinking this dress is a performance art piece called Stomp: The Death of Sebastian the Crab. Right? Something about the pattern of the sequins looks like a crustacean that rudely met its end under the sole of somebody’s Ugg. Or… maybe I’m just dehydrated today.

Who Fabbed It More: K.Bos vs K.Dunst


I’ve never thought that putting her hair back was Kate Bosworth’s best look, although I am loving this hilariously Come Hither expression.

However, all lusty hitherness aside, I think this would’ve looked sunnier and cuter if she’d let her hair down (also a good tip for what traditionally comes after the hithering). But that’s a minor quibble. A good shirt dress is hard to find, and although as ever I’d have loved to see this in a fun color or pattern, I’ll take it — considering the weather in LA in December is basically akin to a beautiful autumn day most other places, it’s appropriately breezy, and certainly does make me wish I was on a boat, y’all. Maybe she’s trying to send her Aussie ex Orlando Bloom a message,  because it’s summer there, and he COULD be on a boat, y’all… okay, fine, that’s a reach. I just wanted to say that boat thing again. Y’all. Anyway, credit to Kate for picking a cute red shoe with this. A red belt or purse might’ve been even cuter — or better still, a richer red lip; ANY extra kick, basically — but overall I am on board the train (HA, you thought I couldn’t resist the boat thing again, but you were wrong).

Kirsten Dunst went with a similarly casual theme at the same event, so I figured I’d throw ‘em together and see which one came out on top. Like a big shirt-dress mud-wrestling extravaganza, but without the dirt and the hair-pulling.

Well Played, Kate Bosworth


Usually, I like to start off something critical with a nice comment, but because the bulk of this post will be complimentary, I get to lead off mean:

Honey, get your hair out of your face. You have such a pretty face! How are we supposed to see it if your hair is hanging in it like that! Seriously, imagine this whole look if her hair were in a ponytail. Better, right? Also: stand up straight! And have you done your math homework yet? (Hey, as long as I’m turning into someone’s mother here….)

That being said, I actually really like this dress. It’s got a ton of visual interest, but it somehow doesn’t overwhelm her. The longer I do this job, the more I realize that’s like my Outfit Holy Grail: not boring, without drifting over into Cracked-Out-Itude. It’s harder to nail than you’d think.

Fug or Fab: Kate Bosworth


Dude, I didn’t even know Kate Bosworth had a movie coming out! I assumed she was just….being Kate Bosworth around town, which I guess would involve a lot of yoga and facial products and thinking about Orlando Bloom and where it all went wrong. And yet, here she is at The French Film Festival That Isn’t Cannes, in support of Kate Bosworth’s New Movie.

I kind of dig the dress. I feel like this is what you wear when you’ve having a “casual” wedding for your second marriage — by the pool at your giant, glorious Palm Springs house, obviously — and that casual second wedding ends up costing like six million dollars because your “casual” desserts are cupcakes with gold-leaf paper holders and you rented swans to take people’s wraps.

And this is what you wear when you kill off Husband Number Two and have to attend the funeral in something demure but also subtly sexy, in case Husband Number Three is also attending:
