Listen, you have to hand it to Malin:
She has taken that back harness and she has WORKED IT.

6 photos in galleryMs. Akerman has a checkered fug history — really, really cute, sunny girl, with a great figure, but often strange ways of showing off both those things. Points for trying, but then again, the Washington Generals get points for trying, too, and that hasn’t yielded a very impressive win-loss record. Not that I’m saying Malin Akerman is the red carpet’s answer to the Washington Generals. That feels like Jessica Chastain, to me, right now (so close, but not quite enough, despite one or two surprise and exciting victories). Anyway, let’s cut the basketball digressions and weird-ass analogies and just get to the outfits. It’s Oscar week soon. Let’s save our strength.

Golden Globes Well Played: Malin Akerman
This dress may be the opposite of Julia Ormond’s sad toga.
It’s unusual, it’s sexy, it’s cute, and Malin looks lovely in it, as opposed to like she’s just finished scrubbing the Parthenon. Okay, so it wouldn’t seem all that out of place on the tennis court in this Williams Sisters world, but whatever — tennis, as a style choice, is a lot better than Omega Phi’s cleaning lady.

Fug and Fab the Miu Miu Party
The Miu Miu party from the other night was chock full of people, most of them slightly random — like, there was Hailee Steinfeld and Shannon Woodward, and then the likes of Ashley Tisdale and Malin Akerman and Leslie Bibb. Just all over the map. And then there’s this young lady. I have a hard time telling apart the buxom blonde actresses Alice Eve (best known Stateside as Braless Nanny in the second Sex and the City movie) and Rachael Taylor (the new Charlie’s Angels). But now I can keep them straight: Rachael is the one who was just hooking up with Justin Chambers on Grey’s Anatomy, and Alice Eve is the one herepictured who is apparently right this second filming a movie where she plays he OBVIOUSLY mousy librarian who is only truly liberated when she removes her glasses. It is called Dewey Seximal System, and it probably co-stars, like, Johnny Knoxville and Simon Rex.
Not everybody looked quite so much like a caricature, though. Let’s see what they brought. JOIN ME.

Well, this is INTRIGUING:
I kind of dig it. Yes, it’s…well, a dress made of leather. Which is unconventional. Leather is usually, you know, jackets or shoes or MURDER GLOVES (if you’re a murderer — which, you really shouldn’t be. It’s rude at best) or, if you are evil and/or have no fear of your inner thighs sticking together, shorts. But I like the juxtaposition of a tough textile and a girlie silhouette, and who doesn’t appreciate the easy clean-up, AMIRITE? Okay, pretend that last part never happened, and vote:

@VladaGelman How is Top of the Rock? - J
Malin Fugerman
This started out fairly dishy.
Then it turned into a series of weird optical illusions: I keep thinking it’s a jumpsuit, possibly because of the awkward length; then, I realize it’s possible the length only looks awkward because of the shoes she chose, and THEN I get completely transfixed by THAT oddball effect. Because the nude upper looks like she’s in bare feet resting on black platforms, I get distracted trying to figure out why her toes are glued together, before remembering they’re INSIDE a shoe, and… y’all, I should not have to work this hard. It’s fashion. But it feels like physics homework.
