I can’t do the low V neck thing either. There are just some fashion trends that I will never understand. Harem pants, for another.
I almost love Kruger’s dress. The last photo makes it look like we can see her underwear, which may just be due to a harsh flash. I can’t believe that she would ever need to go up a size, but this may be one case where it would be more flattering and less rib-cagey if she did.
Open the V-Vault!!
Raise that V-neck a couple of inches, take out that dress a couple of inches and they’re both good to go.
I know I’m going to be crucified for this, but I must humbly confess that I don’t “get” these two. She usually looks fine–nice, even–he is presentable, but my little heart doesn’t go pitter pat when I see them. I’ve just never gotten caught up in Paceymania and she leaves me similarly cold. As with so many other things for which I simply do not care (milk, camping, rap music) this leaves more for those of you who do like these things.
You are not going to get anything of the sort from me. I don’t get them either, (I have never seen any of her work and only know him from Fringe) but I do enjoy playing along.
I’m with you on that qwertygirl.
Phew–glad to know I’m not the only one. I always feel so left out when everyone is sighing with rapture.
Low v-neck (sans shirt) combined with a jacket gives off a tacky-nerdy vibe to me. It reveals little fashion sense. Who started this trend and why? I know presidential hopeful Rick Santorum wore sweater vests a lot, but his normally came with shirt and tie.
I loved the SNL skit with Ben Stiller, with the v-neck-off. Why is he so causal when she is so formal???
Lovely dress. Just go up one size. That’s all. We all know you’re very petite. No one can see the label or know what size it is. Just let yourself breathe. I shouldn’t be able to see ribs.
I think the problem isn’t that it’s too small, I think it’s just the fabric. I have a shirt that’s made of stretchy fabric and when I put it on, you can see my belly button, and I’m a size zero, so it’s not like I’m sewing myself into it or anything. I think it’s just a combo of the flash and the fact that it’s stretchy, clingy fabric.
And yeah, I also can’t get on board with the low V neck. I went to college with lots of hipster guys who rode their fixed gear bikes while wearing those shirts with their cutoff jean shorts, and I’m over it.
At least there are no grisly gray hairs sticking out of the V. (Yes, I work with that kind of twerp, gold chains and all.) So Peter Bishop gets a pass from me for attempting man-cleavage.
Yes, when you are built like a freaking goddess, you can err on the side of shrink wrap and still look like a zillion bucks.
No pores equals lucky genetics and expertly applied make up.
I just can’t fathom what the dress code was for an event where she’s wearing a gown and he’s in jeans, a tshirt, and chambray blazer…
My thought exactly.
Me three! When the lady’s in a formal, a T-shirt just won’t do.
I feel like I say the same thing over and over about her: she looks great, EXCEPT (insert whatever screwy thing she did this time). Today, it’s her hair. THAT HAIR. Did she put it in a ponytail wet, put on a stocking cap, and then let it dry so it would be as flat and lifeless as possible? WHY. When you look like her, why would you so deliberately always add some weird distraction??? That black newsie cap from last week with that pretty dress almost made me roll my eyes up into outer space.
And Pacey, with apologies to all of you who really like him, is a SLOB. He almost always looks unshowered and unkempt to me. Maybe he figures that standing next to Helen of Troy over there would make almost anyone look like a walking cow pie in comparison, so why bother? I don’t know why else he would go anywhere where there are cameras looking like that. The man-cleave v-neck thing is heinous on anyone.
I don’t think the rest of him looks slobby at all, though. Those are well-fitting jeans, his shoes are shined, and the blazer is good.
Can we call them DiCey? Dicey? PLEASE??? Can we make that happen?
@glee, Sorry, but NO!
@jerky girl, OMG I laughed so hard at your comment! –> “Did she put it in a ponytail wet, put on a stocking cap, and then let it dry so it would be as flat and lifeless as possible? WHY.” I really actually laughed, not the internet “LOL” during which you barely crack a smile, but you do acknowledge that what was said was funny. (Maybe I’m the only one who does that. sigh.) No seriously, I had a hearty, rather loud laugh. Thanks for that!
And I completely agree with the assessment, the hair”style” is far too weak for that dress. I don’t think the hair needed to compete with the dress, not at all, but the wet ponytail/stocking cap look is for the birds. Not with an awesome dress of that cut and color. Puh-lease.
Aww, I’m glad I gave you a laugh!!!
I’m actually reading this again and I’m feeling a little mean about calling Pacey a slob–I just hate 7:30 o’ clock shadow on dressed up men and that v-neck (V-NECK!!! V-NECK ON A MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN ARRRGH) just about slapped the taste out of my mouth. Therefore I concede to Jessica (also because I love when our beloved Fug Girls comment back to us because that is just so cool 
that he is indeed wearing nice jeans and a nice blazer that I would probably actually love if it WERE denim because hey, the 70′s.
@jerkygirl: IRL if he weren’t a ‘star’ I probably would not even notice him for exactly the reasons you mentioned. (And the star power would get him a “Oh, I recognize you” glance and that’s it.)
I go for polish and this boy really just doesn’t have it. And he is too young for me to take seriously.
La Kruger looks like she’s wearing a sausage casing. That’s not complimentary.
Straight men can’t pull off deep v-necks.
I was just going to comment about how v-neck t-shirts are for gay men and trying to think of how to say that without sounding offensive to either side of the fence. You said it well.
It’s ok, us gays can’t pull them off either — even those of us who work out. You might as well tape a sign to your forehead that says “I’M TRYING TOO HARD.”
I’d like to give Dave an AMEN!
I am most definitely not sold on the low v-neck on men.
I am also not sold on her dress. It’s not a flattering colour on her, so I’m not sure whether the dress is *meh* or whether it just doesn’t look good on her. Either way, it doesn’t work.
I don’t like that she looks so much more formal than he does. Are they going to the same event?
When is he going to just marry her already?
AE, from what I’ve read, she doesn’t believe in marriage.
Pulling out my Word Nerd Certificate here for the misuse of “believe” by practically all of society. Marriage is not an unknown force; it exists, so to say one does not “believe” in it contradicts the meaning of the word. Perhaps it’s better for her to say it’s not for her, much like health food is not for me — I know it exists, just not in my personal realm.
I’m not a fan of the low v-necks on men, either, but certain men could maybe pull it off. Josh Jackson/Pacey, though, seems too clean-cut for it. Like he’s trying too hard to be hip and failing.
I am generally not on board with the deep V on men, with the exception of recalling once seeing Alexander Saaaarsgaaaaaard (aka Eric Northman) wear one somewhere. I think his shoulder and chest are wide and deep enough to pull it off, or maybe with the wideness and the deepness, the deep V doesn’t look so deep. Whatever.
Deep. The word no longer has any meaning. Deeeeep.
Okay, my eyes must be deceiving me, because no one else has mentioned this–but in the name of all that is holy, is he wearing a DENIM SUIT?
no to deep v-necks on men, hevage is not a good thing…….
I am a fan of HER neckline. It’s so flattering for the shoulders. I must get a dress with a similar one.
I agree, I am always looking for that neckline and strap combo. Sadly, it is not that common.
Dicey are not wearing a denim suit – it’s navy with black lapels.
Also – this is for some movie where she is playing Marie Antoinette, and yet there has been no press for it Stateside.
It’s PACEY… If you don’t like it, sue Kevin Williamson!
Diane Kruger looks flawless. I love her dress and I don’t mind that you can see her rib cage. Pacey, on the other hand, has looked better, but he doesn’t look bad.
I am in favor of the v-necks on dudes. Show me some man-clavicle! That being said, I think the weirdest part is the juxtaposition in formality; where are they going???
Despite the dress being tailored to the actual millimeter of her figure, it at least gives her ‘curves’. I think she looks great in it. She’s so thin and a lot of times she looks like she’s walking around on sticks. I can appreciate that this makes her look more like a woman and less like a waif.
No to the V-Neck. It is absurd regardless of the wearer’s identity. Not a real fan of the chambray jacket either.
It’s really nice to see a couple that is fine with being totally into each other on camera. He just seems … smitten.
Oh, and I like her dress.
Speaking of getting people/ not getting people, I inexpicably love Diane Kruger. I’ve only given her one “fug” in about five years. Whenever snarky starlets are like, “other girls are just jealous of me because I’m beautiful/ thin/ rich,” I think of Diane Kruger and say nope, you can be all those things and still come across as a nice human being.
(On the other hand, I inexpicably can’t stand the sight of Anne Hathaway. At all, She gives me cold shivers. Maybe because I really, really, really hated “Becoming Jane”?)
Duuude. Yes. Except instead of Anne Hathaway and “Becoming Jane,” insert Kate Hudson and any movie she’s ever been in besides “Almost Famous.”
I was there! It was nice to see her in something beautiful rather than avant-garde, and she looked lovely in that dress. I was wondering who it is by – I thought maybe Narciso based on the cut, but haven’t heard his name in a while and don’t usually see textures from him.
But yes, JJ looked odd. It was a premiere for her new movie. At MoMA. Not super-fancy – most people wore dressy casual.
Thank you. I saw this last night and I couldn’t stop, “Wha? Why? But Pace- Whaaaa? You don’t have boobs! No V-neck without boobs! Whyyyyyy?” I eventually fell asleep on my computer and dreamed of a simpler time of Hawaiian shirts.
She is ridiculously good looking. I would like for her to not show her ribs though. It concerns me when bones poke through fabric.
I can actually say I was there! And the first thing I thought was “Whoa. That’s a lot of male cleavage.” Also, her dress was more blue in person. Not this sad, grey/white. It was lovely, but not amazing.
Hate to say this because she’s obviously beautiful, but her hair looks a bit like Kristin Wiig’s when she plays the small-handed “Dooneese” character in the Lawrence Welk skit on SNL.
Hahaha, molly! I knew something was weird there.
Also, I love just about everyone who comments here, especially those who use terms like Dicey and he-vage. Just had to remind you all.
I HATE the V-neck trend for men. His shirt looks almost exactly like the v-neck I have in my drawer, and I’m a woman. I bought it because it gives me a nice hint o’ cleavage without putting everything on parade, so no, men shouldn’t have a similar styled shirt.
I have never thought he was good looking. and I am not sure who the chick even is?
either way–no the V-neck.
and please someone? anyone? feed that poor girl a sandwich—or two!
I think I love her because she has terrible hair. She does the best she can with it, but it’s thin and limp and weird. When you’re that beautiful, it’s nice to see the one bad part. And to also see that she didn’t go the H’wood crazy extension route.
Also forget the cleave, Pacey looks a little chub in this. That’s my issue. Cause he’s not.
NO too the deep Vs on men….even darling Joshua Jackson…NO.
Joshua should not be wearing that deeeep V neck. I’d be more than happy to remove it from him myself.
If I had that rib cage, I’d show it off like that all the time, just to make everyone jealous.
I thought that this was a denim suit as well…I saw another photo and you can see the texture. If it’s not denim, it looks very textured, almost like linen and I think that is pretty awful as well.
She looks suitably fab, he looks…. feh. I must need to get a DC box set, because I don’t get the Pacey thing either. He seems nice and all, but no swooning, y’know?
The v-necks can only be worn well by men who are seriously BUFF, like Skarsgard.
Mmmm Skarsgard…
I don’t know. .. I might have to run for cover, but I think he kinda pulls off the V-neck. Of course, it could be his Pacey-ness that is just overpowering my sense of fashion. I am so into Pacey, it’s not even funny. No, he’s not the most traditionally handsome actor in Hollywood, but he’s sweet, smart, funny, seems like a genuinely nice guy, has gorgeous eyes and. . .and . . .dammit, he’s PACEY. Right?
Right! I feel the same way about Pacey… Oh, and you forgot “sexy”!
I didn’t notice the V-neck before I read the captions, and now it’s all I can see. I would have been content to swoon over them as usual but now I’ve been blinded by the V.
And her pores just made me put on a Boscia face mask right now. The hypothesis is, if I give my skin even a tenth of the attention she must give hers, maybe I’ll enjoy her results. (yeah right)
This horrible V neck thing for men must GO!
And when oh when is Pacey going to be installed as the new Go Fug intern? ITS TIME!
V necks on men should be reserved for Jason Momoa and Lenny Kravitz.
I think they’re both gorgeous and I love how that v-neck makes his neck look really long. I dig it on less hairy guys (imagine chest hair with that shirt …yeah). And given the rest of the outfit is delightful, well …Pacey for the WIN.
I can’t and won’t fug Diane “Flawless” Kruger & Pacey! I think she looks BEAUTIFUL and I love her dress! I just wish she was wearing earrings! And, I don’t think Pacey is wearing jeans, but a suit in a cotton, maybe linen blend, that’s made to look like denim! My sister has a pair of pants like that! I think he looks good! FAB!!!
I agree. They look great. I love that dress on her, it makes her body look like a marble sculpture.
I think Pacey’s ONLY saving grace here and the only reason he is just this side of male v-neck tee hate is that you can’t see man-cleavage, at least from that angle.
Does Pacey have blood stains on the lower portion of his left (our right) side jacket, near the front?
You an barely see it on the normal size version of the photo, but it’s clearly noticeable if you magnify it. I know it can’t be blood stains; perhaps he spilled wine on it. Whatever it may be, he should dry clean that sucker.
(Also…the suit may not be denim, but it certainly is designed to look like denim. That is a no in my book.)
There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with a man in a deep V – even at an event. We have women showing up in three potholders and a string ALL THE TIME. Men do not have to be covered like a sherpa! He looks fine. We do not have to be dressed as a banker or a groom every time there is an event.
In that final picture, when you asked me to look at her torso, I thought, “Wow, she looks like a classical sculpture of a goddess, and I can’t even hate her for that.”
After the Ben Stiller SNL v-neck video, I’ve now been conditioned to laugh at every v-neck tee I see. I’ll never wear another one and I’m not even a man.
After looking at the first pic, I was all ready to be like, “What the heck?!?! Diane looks fine!!” but then, “Oh…it’s the v-neck, isn’t it?” Yeah, can’t say I’m a big fan, either. And it’s not a men-vs.-women-being-covered-up thing, or a gay-vs.-straight-guys thing, it’s just that I don’t think the cut is particularly flattering on him.
I still like Diane’s dress, even in the third pic (it’s definitely close-fitting, but I don’t know, she can handle it…it’s not like I’M wearing the dress), but her hair needs help, yes.
He always looks like he is happy to be with her and let the chips fall where they may( down his Vneck). And why not, she is absolutely beautiful.
I’m confused. She’s accomplished, sophisticated, speaks three languages fluently, has been previously involved with accomplished and sophisticated men, etc, etc. What is she doing with this guy? Their costume incompatibility should be the least of our concerns.
There is nothing sexier than a deep vee on a guy with the chest to pull it off. Pacey pulls it off.
