Fug or Fab/Who Fugged It More: Stacy Keibler vs Michelle Williams


INTERN GEORGE: Hello, cherished partner.

STACY: Hi, George.

INTERN GEORGE: I am so pleased with my fairy godmothering.You are a shimmering purple jewel in a pretty but unremarkable dress that will neither overshadow me nor get my smiling face put in any worst-dressed-list spreads. My work here may be done.

STACY: Well, you’re not done YET.

INTERN GEORGE: What?

STACY: I probably get to stick around at least through awards season, right?

INTERN GEORGE: Right.

STACY: So you’ll do more?

INTERN GEORGE: Sure, if–

STACY: No matter what happens right now?

INTERN GEORGE: Yes, but… why, what could possibly happen?

STACY: Oh, nothing, nothing. Let’s just get this over with…

Who did Leg Surprise BETTER at this party?

    I like her. She looks like she has a personality. Might be good for Intern George.

    Neither set of sheer leg curtains is acceptable, because, well, they’re sheer leg curtains. In the rest of the dress competition, Michele squeaks by, because her strapless is not so precariously close to a nip slip, and is a little less like a fancy lampshade.

  3. Chasmosaur

    Actually, I want to put the blame on this where it belongs: the designers and the stylists.

    The designers for thinking that they can re-make the booty-short under dress concept – really, only Versace did it well, back when JLo wasn’t so HOLA, LOVERS. If you’re going to do with the translucent dress concept, you really just need to DO it, you know?

    But designers are creatives – they go where their whim takes them. The stylists should know better. The stylists should know that this just looks stupid in photos. Maybe in person – without the illumination of many professional flash bulbs – these dresses aren’t so sheer, but they are paid to know the difference.

    Not all your clients are Diane Kruger in Venice, stylists. Get over it.

    I gave Williams the edge on this only because it wasn’t so immediately apparent with the navy blue that she had adopted this abomination. Also because, as much as I dislike her back strap, it is at least the same color as the rest of her dress. If you look at Keibler photo #3, you’ll see that the black back strap creates the illusion that the hideously-frilled purple waistband continues out onto space on its own. Which is WRONG.

    I think the magic of Stacy is what makes me love her Leg Surprise. She’s soooo NOT a fancy person, she’s an ex-wrestler who did Dancing. She has a nice face and I bet she’s a lot of fun over a pitcher of beer. Michelle on the other hand looks has none of Stacy’s fun brashy style, so it looks really tryhard on her. You know what I mean? Some outfits are best accessorized with a giggle and a wink, and Stacy can do that in her sleep, backwards, in heels.

  6. Sonya

    Ah, I do love that you used a Matthew McConaughey line from Dazed and Confused – my favorite one, in fact.
    That dress is pretty, I’d wear it. I like leg surprise better on Stacy, the purple is so pretty on her too!

    • GFY Heather

      I did? I had no idea!

      • Joni Woodhead

        stoner-y tone of voice “you know what I like about High School girls? I get older .. they stay the same age” ( and i had to do the hand motion that goes along, Sonya knows what im talkin about here .. I quote that line a lot )

      • Heather

        Ah, thank you! I knew that was a quote from somewhere but I had no memory of where.

  7. Stefanie

    My deciding factor is the color and Stacy takes it.

    I also feel like this one is a little saucy and fitting of her personality where Michelle, dispite the fact she was wearing a see through skirt, looked dowdy. LIKE ALWAYS. I also really like that Stacy seems to be rebelling (even just a little) against her “Clooney Games” styling team.

    • Abigail

      Next event she’ll have permanent, gold, full body tattoos and turquoise hair with gemstones embedded in her clavicle….we can but hope!

  8. Halo

    The black with contrasting detail at the bust is just prettier. That purple thing looks like some cheap crap from Cache at the mall, especially against the fake tan.

    • Billie

      Exactly. I thought the color of Michelle’s was amazing. This looks like one of those red carpet knock off’s they show on E! the day after an awards show. The color just looks cheap.

  9. Zuzzie

    Not worthy of the George.

  10. jen

    I’m noticing that a lot of La Kieb’s dresses seem to want to pretend to be backless by putting a diff fabric on the back…and I just really don’t like the look.

  11. Bee

    why do all SK dresses look like cheap nylon stuff? I get all scratchy and unconfortable just looking at them

  12. Caroleena Stantonova

    She looks swell! While, poor old George (based on his facial expressions and body language), appears to be wrestling with a hemorroidal flareup.

  13. allisankelly

    I love Stacy Keibler. LOVE HER. I have 2 sons and WWE was and still is a staple in our household and Stacy has always been a favorite since she first walked the ramp with those legs that go on and on and on and…

    However (in my best Stephen A. Smith voice), a fellow poster wondered (after the crochet dress debacle and subsequent “princessing up” of Stacy) if Intern George has a closet of gowns somewhere for his gals and I have to wonder too. Nothing she has been in since the black crochet number that must have given Intern George a case of the vapors has fit her.

    George needs to hire her a stylist if he’s gonna make her over. Hand-me-downs won’t do!

    • GFY Heather

      I was joking about that in my other post. But I’m starting to believe it.

  14. Kit

    Leg curtains are bad, witty pretend convos between Intern George and the Kiebs are good, Michelle Williams was marginally better only because it wasn’t so obvious (it was very nearly a tie because of the whole Phoebe-on-Friends-”Political”-Christmas-Gift-Wrap decoration); but we’ve got that done, so can we stop now and discuss the IMPORTANT thing?

    WHY is she wearing office shoes with that dress? Why? Why? Why? Why?

    My head hurts with the why of it all.

    Intern George needs to add shoes in her size to that closet of girlfriend dresses stat! (And don’t let the Kiebs and her scissors near them!)

  15. Dazie

    Dislike both dresses, but at least Keibler looks like she’s having fun. Michelle Williams always ALWAYS looks so pained to be having her picture taken. Even when she smiles I can hear her thoughts- “Just take the picture. TAKE THE PICTURE. I want to go home.”

    • Libby

      Exactly! Stacy is working it – and she know that her legs are incredible.
      Amazing what a good attitude and a smile can do.

  16. Jamie

    I’m sorry, do her hidden booty shorts have LACE DETAILING??? That’s the line, right there.

  17. Rebecca

    I kind of think that people’s love for M.Williams is tipping the scales on this one. I really think the sheer skirt looks better on a tall lady. Michelle is so tiny that they needed to lollies to “elongate” her legs…which kind of didn’t happen for me.

    • Mair Mair

      See, I don’t have any special love for MW. I mean, I think she’s a good actress and all, but no girl crush for me. Really, I think she’s benefitting from the theory of relativity. As in, relative to what she usually wears, the navy dress — unfortunate sheerness, Esther Williams swimsuit underneath and gold foil explosion across her chest notwithstanding — is a beautiful color on her and the neckline, at least, is very flattering.

  18. Fifie

    I hope that she is being paid a lot of money to work it. If being George’s GF doesn’t work out (and we all KNOW that it is always a 2 year “best before” proposition) she could rip off the skirt and go back to wrestling.

  19. Nancy

    It is blasphemy to say but she makes George look like a dirty old man. They do not look good together as a couple. She is too tall for him, she makes him look somewhat frail and less manly. The blonde of her hair highlights the (bad) gray of his hair, this is from someone who loves silver foxes. His previous “girlfriends” made him look handsome but this pairing makes him look like a Hefner wannabe.

  20. Katie

    I give the edge to Stacy because hers looks more like a miniskirt with leg curtains than booty shorts with leg curtains. Plus, the purple is delightful and she actually looks like she is enjoying herself.

  21. Anne B

    I am struggling with two opposing thoughts here. I don’t know quite what to do about them.

    One, Intern George is the famous Prankmaster, and as such should have no problem with Surprise Legs. Here’s a man who’s punked his onset colleagues for years, who evidently has a long con going right now against one Brad Pitt, and yet. There he is, our I.G., Surprised by the Legs.

    Two, I’m still having a hard time liking this girl. Because she is a girl and he looks like her dad? Maybe.

    Know how you could fix this issue, George? Date a funny adult.

    • GFY Heather

      DEMI MOORE IS GOING TO BE AVAILABLE VERY SOON. Not that she’s especially funny. But she IS his age.

      • casey

        True, but sadly (since I want to continue to like Intern George as much as I always have) I think he doesn’t want to date someone who is his equal in fame, etc. I mean, aside from not wanting to date someone his own age…

      • Anne B

        In my fantasy life, she still sits around like Jules in St. Elmo’s Fire, planning out ways to bury her stepmonster without having to spend any money. Only now her stepmonster is very aged, and she’s been waiting for the old bat to die for YEARS.

        That Demi is funny. I believe in her.

  22. Sandra

    This fashion atrocity cannot be rectified. It looks good on nobody and whoever has been perpetrating it should be sentenced to a Junior League fashion show until THEY. STOP. THIS!

  23. wordphreak

    And now all her dresses look the same.

  24. wordphreak

    The American MALE dream. Such a sexist post. I’ve lost all respect for IG. And some for you.

    • melanie

      Ditto. This whole theme of George’s lady friends needing to be projects that he teaches how to dress has gotten really old really fast.

    • GFY Heather

      It’s a joke. We don’t think they actually need it, and we were FACETIOUSLY calling it “The American dream.” It was SARCASM. We’re just making a joke about how all Intern George’s girlfriends end up dressing the same, and how weird it is. I think it’s pretty clear we’re not championing it and that we’re really not patting him on the back for “the American dream.” It was a joke. A joke.

      • Anne B

        Please PLEASE keep the joke going!

        I love the Girlfriend Closet, and it fits so nicely with my budding Alternate Life of Intern George, in which he’s like a Blackbeard for leggy young ladies!

        Only not, you know, deadly. :)

      • melanie

        Obviously different people find different things funny. In yours and other people’s eyes, it’s a funny joke that never gets old no matter how many posts you use it in. For others it’s annoying and tiresome and cliché.

    • Sajorina

      You’re taking this WAY too seriously! This is a FUN site which purpose is to either FUG or FAB outfits, not viciously criticize people!

  25. Elise

    all I can think is I can’t wait for another appearance by Intern George. He is *hilarious*

  26. Carol

    Booty shorts are a new and distressing trend that must be stopped. These are costumes, not fashion or style … not even BAD fashion or BAD style.

  27. Joanne

    Seriously, what is with Clooney’s constant OTT PDAs with his GFs? Could Intern George be hiding something deep in his closet?

  28. Psyche

    My deciding factor was which has the better legs to show off, and that, obviously, is Stacy Keibler. I also love how you wrote this dialogue, it kinda makes me love them together as a couple. Which is dangerous, because we all know Intern George’s relationships are never meant to last.

    • Carrie Ann

      Actually, I totally agree. This set of pictures and the accompanying imaginary banter somehow sold me on them as a couple. Whereas before, my raging jealousy and previous hatred of all of Clooney’s girlfriends made me automatically irritated by Stacy. Now I kind of love her? What is this sorcery, Fug Girls?

  29. Andrew S.

    I agree with Chasmosaur in that Diane’s version of this dress is the best one. I will give it to Stacy if only because you’d never guess she’s a former WWE Diva

  30. Cass

    What is with this “fake waist” thing?! Seriously. Nude or black hoohah on the back and sides of your dress will only make you look skinnier from dead on. Any other angle and it looks insane.

  31. ceecee

    There’s a way to show off great legs and it’s wear a short dress. Not these abominations.

  32. Sajorina

    Michelle looks GOOD because it’s all the same color navy! but here we have purple & black… FUG!!!

  33. Peachsiki

    My brother used to make me watch wrestling with him and whenever she was on screen, it was all about her legs. She’s got an amazing pair, and this dress looks gorgeous on her, I like it better that Michelle Williams only because I hated the back on that dress and I tend to lean more towards miniskirts over booty shorts when under something long and sheer.
