So, Paleyfest — which I just accidentally wrote as “Paley Gest,” which is what happens when the Paley Center eventually holds a week-long salute to the legacy of David Gest — really WILL have a panel for literally every show on television. I mean, no offense to 2 Broke Girls, which I have never watched and hope never to be forced to confront, but come on. They are ten minutes away from doing on for Rules of Engagement, or, as I call it, THAT’S Still On?
Regardless, at least it gives people an excuse to put on outfits and leave the house:
We’ve seen this before, right? I know one of you smarties out in Fug Nation will remember who was wearing it the first time. I suspect I liked it then, and in fact, I rather like it now. My real problem is that a comparison to placemats drifted through my head while I was looking at this, and now I can’t look at her without wanting to stick a water glass and a fork on her chest.

I wish the pattern continued all the way down the skirt, instead of tapering, or had the smaller doilies at the top and worked down to larger ones. I do love it though, the color is fabulous on her
Not only do I love “2 Broke Girls” (I can’t not watch anything with Kat Dennings and/or Jennifer Coolidge in it because they’re hilarious), but I love this outfit and I usually don’t like what Beth Behrs wears! FAB! And, I was just reminded of Jason Behr and how I never see him anymore, and “Roswell” and how much I miss it! Sigh!
the dress is beautiful, the clutch too, but it does not suit her. her hair and make up don’t get with this dress.
It reminds me of a dress you’d buy at Anthropologie. It’s pretty enough, but just kind of boring and not cool or particularly stylish.
Love this dress and clutch together, but something seems off.
An updo (simple, not prom hair) would have made the difference. Then – smashing!
I love the dress in theory. But I don’t love it on her – it seems to be overwhelming her.
The dress is very Kirsten Dunst, and if she hasn’t worn it she should.
I don’t know if we at Fug Nation have seen it before, but it is from Naeem Khan’s Spring 2013 RTW.

Maybe it’s just evoking Nina Dobrev’s awesome dress from the Oscars?
wow, is it just me or does it look a LOT more expensive on the runway than it does here?
Hey, yeah, it does. I think it’s just lighting though, ’cause the runway hemming was equally obvious, so I think it is the same fabric.
I think. If Khan did a fabric bait-and-switch on sweet Beth Behrs, we need to talk!
Behrs is adorable, and so is the dress, but I gave it an “Eh” because it isn’t doing anything for her.
She has long, slender, spectactularly shapely legs – and who’d ever guess it in this?
Sigh. My kingdom for an “Edit” button!
Note to self: Never try to proofread “spectacular” while typing it before coffee.
get me some colored shoes and I’m in.
Why is she wearing boring black pointy-toed shoes with this?
Love the dark blue and the style, but the doily-things are too distracting. BTW, who wore it before?
the effect of the shoes blending in with the carpet is making her stumpy. Should have gone with a metallic or a pop of color.
One too many doilies for me. Remove the top central face plate, and I’m in.
Imagine brown hair, and from the neck up she looks oddly like Lea Michele — must be the bangs and lipstick. The dress makes her look thick around the middle, which I doubt that she is. The black pumps are boring zzzzzzzzzzzz.
I have to agree with the updo sentiment. She’s hiding some of the pattern’s punctuation… it’s just silly. Also, poppier shoes would have helped the look be carried off. Perhaps in a third out-there color, so the pink lip + red/orange clutch would seem thoughtful rather than “my hair and makeup people had NO idea what I was going to be wearing to this thing.”
I love the dress but I hate her bangs. I hate them on the show, I hate them on the red carpet, I hate them on every carpet.
I always think that she’s wearing a wig. Is it a wig? And why does she always wear that god awful necklace on the show? That really is a terrible show BTW.
@Stefanie! I was just about to comment that I don’t like her bangs! They’re just so aggressive. Does she have a horribly disfiguring scare on her forehead? IS SHE THE CHOSEN ONE?
The bangs and the rest of her hair. The color is awful and there’s just way too much of it around her head.
Too little-girl.
Ditto (thritto?) re: Bangs. Dress, fine, shoes, meh, hairdo, no.
I have seen like five minutes of two broke girls and they made an anal sex joke. I’m still clutching my pearls. I mean, like can you say that during prime time?!? I am so old.
Me too.
If the doilies were smaller I would love it.
Amen to the call about the bangs. they are seriously so terrible. Imagine how much better looking she would be with different hair. I got bangs recently and every time I see her I shudder thinking I might look the same way.
I thought it was January Jones.
I wish the pattern had stopped at her waist OR had covered just the skirt OR had been complete…..but it feels like the fanciest unfinished Pinterest doily recycle ever.
I agree with everyone about different hair. A loose updo, even a fancy pony…..this just doesn’t work.
I wish the shoes were something else….maybe the red of the clutch and the clutch something else ( granted, *I* am a matchy matchy girl and would be giddy over matching clutch and shoes)
