Fugger: Shailene Woodley

Met Ball Well Played: Shailene Woodley

Jessica and I were discussing how much more we love the Met Ball than any of the awards ceremonies, and I think it’s because of a few key factors: a) It comes up during a dry period, so we’re always thankful to have such a hotbed of material; b) it’s NONSTOP A-listers, and the melange of people is often very random because nobody is beholden to, say, nominated actors, nor even working ones; and c) the Emmys come right after Fashion Week, so we’re exhausted, and by the Oscars we’re so sick of the same old freaking people that we just put down our heads and plow through and hope we come out the other end sober. The Met Ball, then, not only draws more interesting clothes, but it’s like a fresh wind blowing through a stale attic.

All of which is to say: Welcome back, Shailene Woodley. It was nice to have time to miss you.

And this is such a funky statement — it’s fireworks meets a really good aquarium, crossed with something I once saw on a slide during biology class and then immediately dismissed because I knew I was not going to continue with biology any further than I was academically required. I think it’s interesting and unusual and beautiful, and it also makes me want to go to Vegas and ogle all the crazy stuff they put in the Bellagio lobby. Bad for my bank account, great for my soul. Much like a lot of these clothes.

For as much as y’all know we are obsessed with about 95 percent of the shows on ABC Family — seriously, the sign language scenes on Switched At Birth are more affecting than almost anything on TV right now, although they have GOT to stop putting up those post-commercials graphical bugs over the subtitles — I have deep concerns about the styling advice being doled out behind closed doors. Look at poor Erica Dasher up there, for starters. She looked like a million bucks at Fashion Week (and seems very friendly, which is always nice), but then out she goes on the promotional tour, and she ends up in this overly froofy thing and then… those PANTS, plus a shirt that looks like it’s jonesing for Happy Days, and not one of the good episodes.

Oh, Shailene. Don’t give up YET.

You’re young. Unlike with us, Intern George will probably return your phone calls. And your Secret Life contract won’t last forever. There are, after all, only so many times your character can cycle through the same sexual drama with the same bouffanted boys whose sperm has a surreal potency. Although, actually Bold and the Beautiful has existed FOREVER based on one character cycling through the same sexual drama with the same semi-bouffanted men whose sperm has a surreal potency, so… Let’s set that argument aside, and instead just lament that you’re wearing a satin pot pourri sack, and then ball it up and shove it back in your drawer to scent up your unmentionables and never discuss it again.

Oscars Fug/Fab Face-Off: Shailene Woodley vs. Herself

Feb 29, 2012 By Heather AT 8:00 am

Well, I should hope she changed before this party — a girl can’t mangle some crudite if she’s worried the evidence will sully her white Valentino.

We liked the Valentino, however controversial that opinion might have been (don’t y’all ever like it when we surprise you?); me, I worried she’d have gone full Hailee Steinfeld and picked a princessy pink sparkly thing that was as safe as a bank and about as boisterous. So I like that she took a chance with something sophisticated that stood out and said something, even if that something was, “Team Leia.”

As for THIS, well, this is vivid in a different way. This is Team Birdcage. (You can be on both teams. They almost never play each other.) You can see the slip poking out the bottom, so obviously it’s fully lined, even though it WANTS you to squint at it and see if you can find a nipple amid the fireworks. Which you wouldn’t have anyway:

Oscars Well Played: Shailene Woodley

Feb 27, 2012 By Jessica AT 12:30 pm

When I heard that Shailene was wearing white, I believe I tweeted something along the lines of, “BORED NOW.” However! As anyone who reads us knows, I am completely fickle and this is no exception. I totally dig this:

I don’t know, there’s just something so refreshing about how modest and 60s it is, and yet there is nary an air of Sister Wife about it — which is hard when something’s so covered up. This dress makes Shailene Woodley — who is very good in The Descendents, and very bad on Secret Life — seem like a tremendously interesting person. She looks like someone who goes to Palm Springs to look at the cave paintings and has a house with a Warhol in the bathroom and has people over for cocktails on her deck, which are all made from weird herbs she grows on the thatching on her roof (she did tell Ryan she’s becoming an herbalist) and she’s always dating someone who doesn’t speak English and her parents have an entailed estate that they never talk about. Almost none of those things are actually true! The power of a dress.

Fuglla McCartney & Friends

We’ve often wondered why Stella McCartney has so many famous friends, when she habitually dresses them in the worst things in her arsenal. Fortunately, she at least appears to be an equal-opportunity offender on that scale. Let’s see how she did this time.
