Fugger: Miley Cyrus

MMVA Fug, But Also Well Played, Miley Cyrus


Let’s give credit where it is due:

Miley looks pretty adorable here, I think: tough and sexy(ish) — she is, as we all know, only 17, so to look TOO sexy would be creepy — but also very pretty and almost polished, which is a hard line to walk. I also LOVE her new, extension-less hair. It’s so refreshing to see a celebrity who isn’t working the Barbie hair. But it was not to last, sadly. For behold what she wore for her performances:

Can’t Be Fugged


Someone in Fug Nation emailed this to us over the weekend and I literally shrieked aloud when I saw it.

When we beseeched Miley to look into pants, THIS IS NOT WHAT WE MEANT. These are old lady leather pants — the kind of leather pants I long to see on legendary pantsless wonder Liza Minnelli, who would rock them. Of course, we all know that Liza would also approve of Miley’s visible bra, so maybe we should get the two of them together! They could collaborate on a duet! They could call it, “Miley With an OMG!” and then dance provocatively together. Think of all the hysterical Op-Eds this would provoke from people! Liza was just on Life on the D-List (she was charming, and smoked on camera, which I haven’t seen in like 20 years [also, that can't be good for her voice. Think of your instrument, Liza!]) so I feel that she might possibly be talked into this, just for amusement’s sake. Billy Ray, can’t you make this happen?

Party In The Fug.S.A.


Maybe I’d feel more optimistic about Miley Cyrus’s changes at longevity if she a) didn’t seem so damn cocky all the time, and b) wasn’t promoting her new album dressed as Hilary Duff from 2005.

Except where Hilary decided to go to great lengths to pretend she didn’t have a neck, Miley is hell-bent on getting her waist put on the Missing Persons registry. There is something seriously wrong with an outfit where I can see her fingers inside her pocket, but I can’t figure out where her torso stops and her pelvis is supposed to begin.
The pants as a whole aren’t great either:

The Last Fug


The saying often goes, “No shirt, no shoes, no service.”

But I don’t think mugging a homeless man for his boots, JUST so you can get fancy sushi, is quite what the authors of that rule had in mind.

Fug Madness 2010, Sweet Sixteen: Cher Bracket


(1) LADY GAGA vs. (13) MILEY CYRUS

First, a word about why we include performance outfits in Fug Madness. While I agree there’s something different about what you pick to wear on the red carpet, or to a restaurant, or the dentist, and what you’d wear to belt out a song on a stage. There’s more temptation to shock and awe on purpose, rather than just because you are deluded. But in my view these outfits are just a different KIND of deliberate than red-carpet stuff, and so are not immune to poor judgment. Nobody handcuffed Carrie Underwood and threw her in the trunk of a car, only to have her wake up in the middle of her song wearing an outfit with one sleeve hooked to her neck. She chose it, and whatever the reason was, it doesn’t make it a good idea. So thus, even if Carrie was trying to make an Important Statement, either about herself or the dangers of using your neck as a hitching post, it still ended up looking sort of lame. Intent doesn’t mean something is immune from being dumb. And so I say, all of it counts. That’s why I have no compunctions about putting up this thing:

I am pretty sure Miley wants the world to think, “Wow, this girl and her edgy tutu remind me of a younger and slightly off-key Rihanna!” And despite the similar tiny skirts and ass fluff, I think this looks more like Miley hopped up on-stage during a bachelorette party at Thunder From Down Under, hijacked the microphone, and is ten seconds away from dousing herself in baby oil and confetti.

Earlier that night, Miley wore this on the red carpet:

It says either, “Mullets = love,” or, “My dog ate my skirt.” Which seems to be a recurring theme with Miley. There’s also:”My dog ate my other bodice,” “My dog ate my shirt,” and even, “My dog ate my neck.”

Speaking of dressing with a message, I’m sure Lady Gaga wore this because she wanted to make me cry into my Cheerios, or this because was desperate to make the world talk about her nipples, and probably had about seventeen different kinds of statements in mind when she put on this:

Fug Madness 2010, Round Two: Cher Bracket


(1) LADY GAGA v. (9) WHITNEY PORT:

“Hey guys, what’s up?

“Me? Oh, not much. Just heading out for dinner and drinks with some friends, wearing my old trusty barbed wired veil, hoop skirt, and panties! You know, just another Tuesday! Yeah, it’s hard to drink through this thing, but as long as someone gives me a series of straws with which to create one SUPER straw and can help me thread it through my barbed wire, I’ll be TOTALLY FINE. It can’t be more challenging than what happened to me the other day:
