CFDA Gala Fug Carpet: Marcia Cross


Oh my God, Marcia Cross. My precious, occasionally homicidal, fake-suicidal Dr. Kimberly Shaw.

SHE DID NOT RIP OFF HER WIG FOR THIS.

    oh dear, if lilo’s already worn it, then it’s probably best to put it away.

  2. Dyanna

    My thoughts on this, in order:
    SPARKLES
    BOOOBS
    No hips?
    GAHHH JUMPSUIT!

  3. susan

    This would be super fun if it were a skirt that ended above the knee.

  4. rigmarole

    I don’t love the neckline, but that’s seriously the only part I don’t love. It is awesome. (I don’t even like sparkles usually!)

  5. Geemee

    I have to say, girlfriend is working the hell outta this. I especially love the color. Where’d those boobs come from, tho?

  6. Ailex

    Yowsa, that is one sparkly jumpsuit! If it were a nail polish I would wear the hell out of it. But in jumpsuit form? I don’t know. It looks a bit too much like a bathing suit with legs. And I just don’t like jumpsuits. Especially since no own seems to wear them for jumping anymore.

  7. Rebecca

    If it were a dress, I might be okay with it. I’m actually okay with it being a jumpsuit, just not on her. On someone with more edge, then I think it would look great. Marcia Cross is too…old-school glamour for this look.

  8. Willow

    Her figure is to die for but this jumpsuit is just horrendous, it would cute as a little mini dress but Marcia just doesn’t suit the garishness of the sequins.

    However her wardrobe od Desperate Housewives is divine.

  9. Heta

    I have never liked jumpsuits, but I have to agree with Rigmarole on this one: except for the severe boobage, this is AWESOME! It would be especially cute with a wide low belt, a la Lee Merriweather’s Catwoman, and some DISCO!

  10. Pat

    I think she should pass this outfit over to Charo.

  11. val.

    I think she’s working this but she needs to lose the Wonderbra!

  12. Dazie

    I would wear this. But people would probably run screaming. However- Marcia. Honey. If you’re going to showcase the girls this way, get a better bra. They look like they’re heading south for some beach and cabana boy action.

  13. Sarah

    This is a total scrolldown fug for me. I think she looks amazing, until you see that sliver of wall behind her thighs and realize that it’s a jumpsuit.

  14. Alice

    I actually love this so much. Her body looks amazing and it makes her legs look about 5 miles long. Plus I tend to swoon for anything sparkly.

  15. Alice

    I actually love this so much. Her body looks amazing and it makes her legs look about 5 miles long. Plus I tend to swoon for anything sparkly.

  16. Annie

    Two questions: 1) Why is this not a gown? and 2) It is just me, or is she taking boob-management tips from Sandra Lee?

  17. Carol

    Channeling Deena in Dreamgirls …”one night only, one night only”! Being a Motown fan, I really like this (but agree with comments on bra fit).

  18. Ley22

    I was going to say “scroll down fug” because if this were a dress I’d give my left arm for it (and then probably wouldn’t look so great in it, but whatever), but it would still be way too young for her. The fact that it’s a freaking jumpsuit just makes it that much worse.

  19. peanut gallery

    I love this. I don’t even like sparkles OR jumpsuits and I think this looks amazing! (Maybe because she still looks pretty wholesome, whereas Lindsay Lohan would look like she needed a good scrubbing if she wore this?!?)

  20. vandalfan

    Perhaps I need to warm up to Fug Madness, because this is the second time in two days the first item has me agog with incomprehension. What could anyone be thinking to wear this, unless in costume on the musical stage, portraying Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes?

  21. zut

    She is selling it, no question. But the shoes?? If you’re going to go full-on sparkly sequinfest, you generally don’t opt for librarian-at-a-funeral clodhoppers as the perfect accessories. All of her would-be fairy magic sort of dissipates as a result. Boo.

  22. K.

    If it were a gown (or a nail polish, as Ailex said), it would be amazing. As a jumpsuit: hell no. Still and always, I hate jumpsuits.

  23. CJ

    What does everyone have against jumpsuits?? Sure, there are horrible jumpsuits, but there are also horrible dresses, horrible pants, horrible blouses, you name it. Conversely, there are flattering dresses, flattering pants, and yes, flattering jumpsuits. I think she looks FAB here, then again I grew up watching a lot of Cher and Carol Burnett and it instilled in me at a very young age the belief that a woman has the right to a new sparkly Bob Mackie outfit every week.

    I think she could have used a wee bit more room in the boobs so they weren’t quite so squooshed and I would have worn a strappy metallic shoe rather than a heavy black shoe, but there is no way I could fug this. She looks awesome.

  24. Christine

    Agreed, this would be soooooo much better as a gown. But come on! She is working that jumpsuit. I hope that I look this good at 49!

  25. Laura

    Being a child of the 70′s automatically means that I love this and have coveted this outfit since I was 5. I just can’t help that Solid Gold stole a corner office in my soul.

  26. Cecily

    Whole lotta sparkle goin’ on…

  27. Noelle

    Why oh why do i LOVE this?! I may have a very serious disease.

  28. jnadreau

    Oh, honey, no. Bree would never wear this.

  29. Kate

    I kind of love this. It may only be appropriate in some 70s roller disco movie, but DAMN I want to watch that.

  30. Aria

    I hate jumpsuits, but somehow really like this one… now if we could just do something about the over-agressive cleavage…

  31. ddukes

    i really like her in this because it fits so well.

    does anybody else think if Angelina Jolie dyed her hair red and cut a few inches off and ate some cheese quesadillas she would look just like this?

  32. Anne B

    Wait. I think I have it.

    This is 1977, and she’s presenting .. at the American Music Awards? — with … Patrick Duffy … the award for, wait, wait, I’ll get it … Best Black Album (no really! An actual thing, then).

    How’d I do? At least as well as that psychic in Texas, right?

  33. abc

    Loved it on LiLo, and I still love it!!! Sparkles make me happy!

  34. Veronica

    Well, she looks fantastic, but I do wish it was a dress. I’m admittedly incredibly biased against jumpsuits, so I can’t give it a fab vote. But I’ll give her that she looks vastly better than the majority who try them.

  35. moi

    I hate jumpsuits with every fiber of my being, but this. OMG. This, I think I love.

  36. Sajorina

    I think I’d love this on a hanger, but I don’t like it on an actual person!

  37. char

    If loving this is wrong, I don’t want to be right. My only problem is the length (Disappearing Foot Syndrome). And I agree it doesn’t do her hips any favors. OTOH: sparkly! Love the color with her hair! I think she’s working it.

  38. Ann

    It is everything that is wrong. But I don’t care. It is also muy fabulous. I LOVE THIS AND I DON’T CARE WHO KNOWS IT.

    *S*P*A*R*K*L*E*S

    If I were a mega TV star, I would wear this as my casual outfit every day.

  39. Beth

    Barbi!!!!

    This is so awesome, in a “no one should ever wear this” kind of way. And yet, shouldn’t they? Shouldn’t people totally wear this?

  40. Emma

    He tiny squished-up boobs are frightening me.

  41. Emma

    Sorry, I meant “her”.

  42. Bambi Anne Dear

    I adore this. ADORE!!!! She just needs a matching shoulder cover of some description. And no, I wouldn’t mind a shrug. A sequinned shrug.

  43. Red

    This is practically the same as a glittery jumpsuit Lindsy Lohan wore to the MTV awards a couple of years ago! Although sans ankle bracelet and underboob cleavage…

  44. Aoife

    Does she think she’s IMAN?

  45. Amy

    I was so busy gaping at the ridiculousness of that jumpsuit I barely noticed that her boobs are trying to stab me in the eyes

  46. Kara

    To quote Jan Brady: “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!”

    That said, I think I need this for my next costume party.

  47. Carmen

    In 1979 I SO wanted to be Donna Summer, she was the queen of fabulousness in the disco-soaked universe…I got over it and so should Marcia Cross.

  48. Kristy

    Lindsay Lohan wore something eerily similar and everyone HATED it. Marcia clearly ripped off her look from a year ago. Who’s laughing now?

  49. Camille

    I’m shocked this wasn’t tagged with “secretly awesome.”
