Fug or Fab: Charlize Theron

In life, I hate vertical blinds. But on Charlize Theron, I think I can live with them.

It’s an odd concept for a dress: The top is sort of half-window treatment, half-binder, and from the hips down it looks like someone shredded a piece of that old computer paper that had the perforated strip of holes running down both sides. And yet, I like it. There’s something cool about it. And while I suspect that something cool might be the six-foot-infinity blonde around whom it’s wrapped, it might also be that there’s a weird aura of Interpretive Body Armor about it. Like she’s some kind of fashion warrior. If vertical blinds looked that funky on their own, I’d be living in an entire den of them.
