Fug or Fab: Julianne Moore


fug-or-fab

In all the furor over Ryan Gosling’s checkered shiny suit and Emma Stone’s hip horns and whatnot, we kind of forgot all about Julianne Moore, who is in that movie, and who is, well, Julianne Moore. And it seems she has taken that fact to heart, going around doing her usual Julianne Moore thing, but better — no two-in-one dresses, no gigantic sleeves. Just regular stuff and that hair. That lovely red hair. I know everyone hated her on 30 Rock, but I found her kind of entertaining. She’s a Weasley at heart, make no mistake.

    That last dress, with the helmet…. does anyone else see random around the boob stitching? Like they added in extra boob padding?

  2. Dyanna

    OMG. Full size. Quilted boob bullseyes?!

    I LOVED her on 30 Rock! Her character was hilarious and the fact that Jack loved her with her Boston accent & suburban stories because he’d always loved her was even cooler.

    I LOVE her. Remember her in Silence of the LAmbs II? Neither do I – I just remember how fabulous she looked in Tom Ford for Guicci! Did you know she’s one of those girls who doesn’t wash her hair? Like, ever. It’s supposed to make your tresses even more lustrous, not washing… All you can do is rinse in vinegar. Anyway, I know she doesn’t always make the most sound fashion choices but she is ripening so nicely and is such a wonderful actress, can’t help but LOVE.

    I like 2 and 3 (boob stitching notwithstanding), but not 1. That is a little girl’s dress. And her hair is not helping to raise the sophistication level.

    She IS a Weasley at heart!! I love it. What I don’t always love is her consistent taste for very heavy shoes.

  7. Claire L

    Dyana! Thank you! I am trying to figure out if it is a bad bra choice or tragic boom armor. Maybe her breasts are that spectacular and she needs to keep us safe.

  8. Claire L

    BOOB armor..not boom…. then again…. maybe they ARE that great!

    I do love Julianna Moore, as she is my celebrity doppleganger (meaning, when everyone was doing that thing on Facebook, I had no idea what to put and someone was like “J.Mo!” and other people agreed, so I went with it), but a.) that first dress: funeral for a former window dresser at Forever21? b.) bras should go on the INSIDE of the dress and c.) that Boston accent was atrocious. HOWEVER, she is so adorable, and the second dress is great, and that third picture makes me smile, so…look I am easily won over by tokens of adorableness.

  10. MissAnthrope

    That first dress is a little twee for her, and I really don’t understand the boob patches on the third, but the khaki dress – who can wear that color?! That dress is terrific on her, although she could stand a little jewelry there. Those shoes, on the other hand… well, let’s just say I’m glad she was released from house arrest before her Letterman appearance. The shoes with the third dress are great though – I LOVE those shoes! I was trying to get a better look at them last night, but apparently David Letterman’s camera operators don’t care about shoes as much as I do. (P.S. Julianne? Listen, I know you’re busy, but honey, take an hour and GET A PEDICURE!)

  11. vandalfan

    Yes, she’s a Weasley, but a dull cousin from outside Ottery St. Catchpole. With much charm, but bad taste in shoes.

  12. Geemee

    I was about to say Julianne has the worst shoe collection in Hollywood, then I saw the pair in picture 3. I actually like them! As for the dress, maybe that’s stunt padding in the boobs? She’s protecting her head, why not the girls?

  13. CH

    Sometimes she wears too much eye makeup, like in the first photo, and sometimes it’s just right, like in the second. I’m okay with the boob stitching in #3, but I agree it should be a bit shorter.

  14. jay

    I LOOOOVED her in 30 Rock too! It was Elizabeth Banks as Avery that I honestly hated. But that’s beside the point, I guess. I’ve always felt that Julianne was one of those stars who could (and would) wear anything and it not be that big of a deal. Like Cate or Tilda. They all just exist in this strange other universe, wearing whatever the hell they feel like and having excellent hair.

  15. Eve

    She was great on 30 Rock! Her metro-Boston-mom character might have hit a little too close to home for the haters–almost like an uncanny valley–but it was really well done. No matter what she wears, she always looks like she’s having a good time, so I tend to give her a pass.

  16. Edith

    I love Julianne Moore, and loved her on 30 Rock. I love her coloring, I love her hair, I love her poise. I think she can do better wardrobe-wise, but she’s so naturally beautiful that even mediocre clothes look lovely on her. I just have to say, though that this line: I love a celeb who can give over to the shtick and just have a good time and not worry about looking cute. Because that, inevitably, is when the natural cuteness really happens. reminded me of my favorite quote, possibly ever. Years (YEARS) ago, some network tried to reboot The Love Boat. The local weekly paper’s review pointed out that everyone in the cast was self-conciously trying to be sexxxy despite the fact that TLB is a comedy, and noted, “Sexy is never funny. Oddly enough, though, funny is ALWAYS sexy.” Truer words were never spoken.

    Who hated her on 30 Rock, I thought Nancy Donovan was HILARIOUS! That Boston accent was a scream. Anyway, she looks like she’s wearing sort-of normal clothes and having fun, let’s face it, she’s in her 40s, looks fantastic and is still playing a female lead. Hats and boobs off to her!

  18. Cecily

    What?? She’s 51? *just checked Wikipedia*. WHOA.

  19. Emily

    Who hated her on 30 Rock?? :O That’s awful, she was hilarious!!

  20. fritanga

    I don’t know about her. I stood behind her in the line at Cost Plus a long time ago, and she looked extremely white and tired, but now I realize that SHE realized that staying out of the sun would preserve her looks forever, which it has. She looks good, she still has a nice body, but these dresses are “NYC quirky,” as in more 1980s than Olsen-Twinsian.

    She should try being less arty and play up her still-Botticelli-like looks in more romantic clothes, while she can still pull them off.

  21. lc

    LOVED her on 30 Rock! She did so well with that part I think it was the second show before I realized it was Julianne Moore playing Jack’s quirky love!

  22. Sajorina

    I love it, she’s been doing great lately and her body is banging! Have you seen her in “Chloe”? You should watch it and weep, just like I did!

  23. neiges

    Yes Sajorina, I was thinking the same thing. “Chloe” is not that good – I’m not an Egoyan fan – but she is incredible in it (she has an orgasm when Amanda Seyfried tells her how she and her husband had sex btw… weirdly… sexy? perhaps i’m going nuts). Juliane… More!

  24. yvetterene

    I love Julianne Moore! I own “Chloe”. Love that movie. She is amazing in it. If you haven’t seen it you should check it out.

    1: Fug.
    2: Dress: fab. Shoes: fug.
    3: Fine.

  26. NYCGirl

    Oh, and I didn’t hate her on 30 Rock.

  27. gryt

    I like the length of the third dress! It feels new – in a retro kind of way.
