Fug or Fab: Anne Hathaway


fug-or-fab

I knew we’d have to feature this dress as soon as I opened my in-box and saw several emails from concerned readers, most of which said something along the lines of, “Anne Hathaway: huh??”

It IS perplexing. When I saw this shot, I was like, “OH HONEY”:

I was concerned. Did Ms Hathaway — who’s been so charming in the press lately, all forthright and self-deprecating about her break-up, like, some people would refuse to talk about it, so I have to give her props for being like, “YEAH. I had THE WORST BREAK-UP…IN THE WORLD” — actually decide that the look she was going for was “kinda saddle-baggy”?

I mean, I want to reserve judgment on the gathering at the hips a bit — I’m not sure why ANYONE would want a horizontal line there, but I guess these things happen — because the color is really good on her. And I love the neckline. And…no. Now that I’ve looked at the Faux Saddle Bags, I can’t think of anything else. It’s problematic. I KNOW THEY’RE NOT REAL. And yet, I am fixated. I am stuck in Saddle Bagaritaville here. SO CLOSE, ANNE.
