Fug or Fab: Kelly Clarkson


fug-or-fab

First of all, obviously, MANY congrats to Kelly Clarkson on her recent engagement because I am sure she cares how we feel. But also, how we feel is that we love her and we think she is swell, and ergo we want the best for her. And considering the crazy shit she used to wear — I mean, LOOK AT THIS – this is fantastigreat.

But, come on. Seriously?

    That. Is. Vile. It looks like an ice dancing costume mated with a Ren Faire outfit. And the lines in the middle make her hips look a mile wide. Unflattering and hideous.

    In the name of the Holiday spirit we should give her a pass -.-
    Unless you believe there is no fashion off time (which I can agree with), lol

    In the first picture it looked okay enough to give a holidays pass, but in the closer-up views of the latter two pictures, there’s just no way.

    She has the best voice in the world. I don’t care what she wears. But I do think the dress is kind of busy. Kelly dresses like a mess most the time. That is why we love her.

      it’s true. She feels like my hella-talented friend with questionable taste. I do love her deeply.

    She’s engaged to Reba’s stepson!! :) Maybe Reba can give her some pointers on clothing…

    This is definitely a Monet dress.

      This would look a whole lot better if M. Monet had had anything to do with it. I can lose myself in one of his paintings for hours and this just makes me want to look at something else.

    that is like one of those velvet Christmas trees that people use as centerpieces on their holiday table exploded all over her…I love her and I love that ring…

    I love love love me some KC, but this is so bad. As for the hair, I like the styling, but I’ve just never liked blonde on her. She’s much better as a brunette.

    I also like the darker hair. It just seems better with her skin tone. I think it would even look better with the shades in this dress, not that the dress is great, but still. . .her more natural hair color would be prettier.

    The first thing I said is “this is not a skirt made of ties.” However, I still can’t forgive this, not even for Santa.

    The velvet arm napkin things are to hide her upper arms? I’m guessing….but real sleeves would have been a better choice.

    For one, horrible, split second, I thought she’d had both of her arms tattooed with holly leaf patterns … (shudder, shudder) … otherwise, there is something priestess-like about the dress, but it’s not a cult I want to join. She needs a fairly elaborate headdress or mitre-thingey, in that case, to make the priestess-look really work.

    Jeez, this is WORSE than than the crocheted-arm thing that blonde was wearing yesterday. Is it by the same person? Oy.

    This dress is like a Monet….good from far, but far from good!

    I love Kelly to pieces, but friends don’t let friends wear remnants. She’ll thank us for our honesty someday? Or maybe not. And we’ll still love her.

    This might have been a great idea before the sleeves and their accessories were added. Without those, I find it a bit busy, but not excessively so for a holiday appearance.

    With them… oh well. For me, it’s an “almost.”

    Count me in on wishing she’d go back to a more natural shade of hair for her. Clarkson is a cute girl and this hair color is sucking a good half of that cute right out of her face.

    This was the reject for Bella Swan’s wedding dress, right?

    I can’t believe no one’s commented on Ciara looking like she’s a member of a Village People tribute group!

    I actually like this. I like the medieval look of it. I really don’t understand the yellow reflective tape on the shoulders, but I like the rest.

    Why would you use the holidays as an excuse to look insane? Maybe the Christmas shopping justpushed her over the edge?

    Guys, she looks like a Wiccan at a Renaissance Fair in 1989. Where is the hate?

      Emma, THANK you. I feel stabby when I look at this. It might have passed in the late-80s, but my god.

    I misread it as “Kelly Osborne” and I was sad when I realized she hadn’t suddenly got blonde extensions.

    The dress looks like a Stevie Nicks reject. I guess Kelly lets her awesome voice (not her clothes) do the talking! .

    Good gracious. This dress looks like the designer was trying every slenderizing trick all at once! Vertical lines and dark fabric on the side, partly covered upper arms, odd slashes of color. I wish she felt better about herself, because she’s lovely and charming.

    Not to mention that the fabrics suggest WIlliam Morris’ cat just threw up Arts & Crafts wallpaper remnants.

    This is a 1998 winter formal dress mated with a 1989 one-piece bathing suit. Oh Kelly, pick one or the other!

    Woops. I clicked yes before going through the slides. Big mistake! It looks cute from a far when you don’t see the lace and arm napkins, and the detail up close. Love Kelly, not the dress.

    OMG, did anyone watch the Voice last night? WTF was she wearing. God I love Kelly, but she needs HELP.

    I love her normalcy, and her relaxed public persona. But fahion-wise, I think she can do better than a Queen of Hearts costume.
