I feel like Emma Stone is doing whatever the opposite of “pulling out the stops” is during this press junket for The Croods:
It’s like she called her stylist and was like, “look. This movie looks terrible. I’m a cavegirl? Nicolas Cage is in it. I have no idea why I even decided to do it, except it seemed like fun to make a movie where I didn’t have to have my hair done, like, ever. But now I have to promote it. Remember how, during the Spider-Man press tour, we just blew it out with super high level gowns and carefully curated jewelry? Can we do the OPPOSITE of that? Not, like, BAD. More like….invisible. How invisible can you make me?”

I kind of understand the thinking behind this – a t-shirt under a strapless dress has the potential to look interesting and a little punk-y – but the execution is off. Everything just seems to not fit quite right, and the dreaded clunky putty heels are not helping.
Yeah, she needs less dangly necklaces and maybe some boots? More kick ass shoes, that’s for sure.
Totally OT, but did anyone notice that ad for the intimate wipes? Did you notice the little slogan? I quote… “A clean beaver always finds more wood.” Am I the only one who thinks this is in hilariously bad taste?
WHA? WHERE IS THIS AD? I love it.
It was right above Emma’s head, but now it’s changed to something else. It must be one of several that cycle in that spot.
I’ve never seen the ad, the only time I’d heard about it was here: http://jezebel.com/5981531/unless-your-vagina-smells-like-windex-you-will-die-alone
It shows up in the Women’s Health with Jessica Alba on the cover. There’s a whole series of ads coming, so get ready. Now what in the world were we talking about? Emma…. maybe, maybe not.
You should see the tagline they use in Sports Illustrated to sell this product to guys. It’s even more vulgar and I find it much too squicky to repeat.
I worry our beloved Emma has peaked (fashion-wise).
No. This is not fine. Even the pieces themselves are bad, and the composite is even worse. Poor girl; first this movie and now this outfit.
This movie looks horrible.
I agree. Everything about the preview is cringe-worthy.
My brain supplied “putting in all the plugs” as the opposite of pulling out all the stops.
All right, I’ve had it with these shoes. I can’t face spring if we’re going to be subjected to another season of them.
Who’s with me? Who’s got a match?
The shoes are ugly and do not match the dress. Double match point against adorable Emma, sadly.
More than any I’ve ever seen, they actually look like extensions of her feet, and NOT in a good way.
Barbie feet, you guys. She has actual Barbie feet.
this is awful all over
As an organist I can tell you that the opposite of “pulling out all the stops” is probably “closing the swell box.” Now you know.
This is one of the many reasons I love Fug Nation. We have an organist!
Hey! I never knew that “pulling out all the stops” had anything to do with organ playing. I love learning. Thanks Carrick!
i just wish she was a redhead again!
When she looks good, she’s invisible to me.
Here she looks bad: shoes, shoulder rosette, afterthought jewellery and a dress that looks twisted like she slept in it.
Frankensemble.
This is definitely the sartorial equivalent of “phoning it in.” She’s dressed appropriately, and her hair and makeup are fine, but it’s nothing memorable.
Also, the best things about this look are the comments by Carrick and Mongerel. It’s inspiring.
The thing is, even blah she is STILL gorgeous. Muy jelous over here.
WORD!
Maybe Emma thinks she is still in the studio recording where no one can see her. The top portion of this dress is horrendous. It’s like she did not even bother to put it on correctly.
Contrarian here: oh, it’s not so very bad. But she does seem to be running afoul of some fit problems lately. More important: between this flick, Gangster Squad and Movie 43 (or whatever that thing was called) our Em needs to get herself some new representation ASAP.
Well, they made her feet invisible. Hooray for nude shoes?
Those shoes make her look like she has hooves. And the fact that I’m saying that about Emma Stone is just sad.
This is not fine, Emma. For heavens sake, there is a huge black bow on the back.
If you squint your eyes, the shoes become part of her feet. Alien feet!
I love her hair & makeup and COVET her jewelry, but that dress is like a strapless dress over a t-shirt, which is FUG!
I kinda like it, but probably because it looks like something I’d want to wear. I go for invisibility. I once wore a bright teal top to a church I had been to about 15 times, and everyone started introducing themselves to me. p.s. her makeup looks great!
It appears I’m the only fugster that finds Emma’s eye makeup heavy handed…
If the outfit is a statement on the movie (which my 9 year old will inevitably insist that we see (damn you Ice Age seventy-hundred)), I agree.
