Fug Or Fab: Ashley Tisdale

We already zapped Li’l Tisdale with a fug-or-fab once this week, but it seems like she’s making a habit out of “sort of cute, maybe” outfits.

There’s plenty of okay elements here but, for me, the whole isn’t worth the sum of the parts. I don’t know. Perhaps it’s that the bodice line seems awfully low. Or that the bling on the belt and neck looks a tad chintzy .It could also have to do with the fact that the entire dress makes her look oddly square. But I suspect my malcontent was spawned by the winged, fussy shoulders — which I don’t object to in principle, but in practice they make it look like Ashley is either shrugging or just incredibly stiff and tense. If she bobbed her head down a touch more, she’d be Hilary Duff circa 2004. Even Hilary Duff would probably react to that with a shudder. She knows.
