Fug or Fab or Unfug: Freida Pinto


fug-or-fab

Well, from the neck up Freida Pinto is as gorgeous as ever.

From the neck down, I’m less sure. I love the shoes. And the bag. And the fouffiness of the skirt (“fouffiness” being a technical fashion term). It makes me want to twirl around. But I kind of wish the under-dress were black, too, because something about the beige reminds me of Spanx. And Spanx reminds me of being unable to breathe. And then I start to hyperventilate and I want to lie down.

What do you think? Tell me while I look for my inhaler.

    it’s spacey, but she pulls it off cuz she is young and gorgeous.

  2. Shaky

    There’s too much neck and sleeve on this dress, considering how high the belt goes. Maybe if the dress had a more simple tank top bodice.

  3. Anonymous

    Hmm…It cuts her figure into bits and pieces. Is it the dark waistband? The dark panels of the skirt?

    The dress is wearing her, and that’s just not the way it should be.

    Simplify, baby.

  4. Carmine

    I think it’s adorable–the beige shows off the filminess of the black in a subtle way. And there’s a great retro influence. But I love see-through fabrics and lace over background fabrics–while the Fug Girls, alas, do not.

  5. Anonymous

    I think she’s gorgeous and is pulling it off, mostly. But I’d like it if the skirt either had the solid black overlay all around, or left it off and just went with the beige. Having it half and half like that is distracting.

    OR, if they left the skirt as is, and removed the neck ruffle for a simple neckline. The eye is just getting pulled too many places right now.

  6. BlondeWahine

    Sorry guys…not sure where you are coming from. I really like the dress…especially on her.

  7. Suzanne

    Make the dress all black. If it’s going to be two-toned, I think the lighter tone would look better darker.

  8. Ally

    This isn’t bad, but the runway version of this dress was all nude instead of the black overlay and I liked that better. I think if it went all black it would be too heavy and would lose the fold detail, but this just looks weird. So I would return to the solid nude version or make it another color (deep blue always looks awesome on her).

    Fab!

  10. Sarah

    It’s different (whoever said ‘spacey’ is dead-on) but I think it’s quirky and fun and I love it!

  11. Gina

    Spacey is right…this makes me think of Judy Jetson.

  12. jean

    The length and overall shape are pretty good. The placement of the black fabric makes her look heavier than she is and the chest area isn’t fitting her well, which pains me because it reminds me of pictures of myself in seventh grade right after I “developed” but didn’t realize I had and all my shirts looked stretched liked that. So maybe I’m just having junior high flashbacks. Cute shoes too!

  13. Rose

    This would have been adorable without all the neck-killing neckline and sleeves… make the dress strapless and tighter around the chest area and we have a winner.

  14. Heta

    I like the nude underlay and the black panels–great contrast–and I love the neckline. What I don’t like with this dress is the length. Make it a couple inches longer and a little less poofy (movement=yes; bounce=no) and it would be gorgeous!

  15. Natalie

    I like it well enough.

    I think the layered look is bothering you because it reminds you, as it does me, of the infamously ugly grey-on-grey dress that Juliet Binoche wore a couple of years back (the GFY entry is from February 12, 2008.) Similar look, but this dress does it much, much better.

  16. Pelijenn

    I think it would be quite smashing were it not frozen for all time in this awkward left-boob-up-to-here position.

  17. Kristin P

    Totes fab. She looks really pretty.

  18. emmy em

    I wish the beige had been light blue. Call me crazy but I just don’t like the fleshy under.

  19. Amber

    I think the beige should be a color, like blue or sea green maybe. The beige with overlay is almost the same color as her legs! I agree with making it strapless, then add a little of the ruffle-y-ness to the top,(Like that word I just made up there?) kinda folded across the chest from the waist up. It’d be cute!

  20. Cass

    I love the dress itself, but Frieda is so leggy and sophisticated that it doesn’t work on her. You know who I’d love to see this dress on? Leighton Meester. It’s a young, fun, immature party dress that clashes with everything else about Frieda, who is a muse and such.

  21. Samantha

    I’m just going to say it’s pretty because I want to think of Freida Pinto as fashionable and daring like Rihanna and Charlize, but without the crazy they sometimes pull.

  22. vandalfan

    Horrible, horrible neckline-collar. It would have been better sleevless. The bodice does not seem to fit correctly. I’m unsure about the two-tone skirt panels- I’d like to see this in all beige before I condem it totally.

  23. Jillian

    I really just don’t think she can do any wrong. She’s adorable!

  24. Hayley

    Hmm…where’s the waist? It’s kind of lost and it makes her look weirdly wide, which she is definitely not. I’m not a fan of the color and it needs to be cinched better…or something.

  25. MN

    I like the dress, shoes, bag, make up, and hair. I think that Freida looks adorable. The only change I would make is the cut of the dress. Something about it is not quite right and is making her look as though she has put on weight, and not in a necessarily cute way. I wouldn’t know what to do to it specifically without changing the overall look, which I like, but someone with the know how could have made this more flattering for her figure.

  26. kesia

    the shoes are fugly. as is the dress.
    take off the wierd black shoulder thingy on the dress and un-fouff the skirt so it’s a line. i don’t mind the colour blocking, i think it’s cool but don’t like the cut of the dress. tooo much going on and not in a good way.

  27. Kelsey

    Maybe if the skirt didn’t have that lacey black floofy thing on it, and if the top were just a beigey tank style? I feel like there’s some nice gold shimmer going on that the black is covering up.

  28. La Seditiosa

    I think I quite like the skirt, and it’s the top that’s spoiling it for me. Therefore, I suggest keep the skirt and swap out the bodice for something less… Just less. Less is more y’know? I’m thinking a plain black strapless bodice, the same fabric as the black parts of the skirt. I like the panels of different colour on the skirt though.

  29. AC

    The only thing that works is the floofiness of the skirt. The rest of it is a high accommplishment is pointless asymmetry. The side ruffle on the bodice does nothing other than make her boobs look lopsided, the two toned skirt panels widen her hips unnaturally, and the droopy neckline pulls down her shoulder. This dress is obnoxious, and mean. But alas, she still looks pretty.

  30. Alexis

    Why does this beautiful woman always have to eff up her appearance with some pseudo-avantgarde-looking gowns?
    She, or her stylist, should admit she’s not Lady Gaga, which is a good thing! Not everyone has the tough job to distract from an ugly face. Own yourself, tone it down, honey.

  31. belljargurl

    Doesn’t do it for me. This girl is gorgeous and does not need an exaggerated A-line dress to minimize her bottom half. I might reconsider my opinion if I could see the movement of the dress, cause Lord knows I can take a bad picture. The kind that leaves you traumatized for years. I don’t hate the dress, but would rather see her in something slinky and sexy.

  32. Anna

    I think the bodice just needs to be more fitted. If it gave a more streamlined shape to her torso – maybe with the waistline a little lower and less bulky? – then the aforementioned fouffiness would be a better contrast. Otherwise, I think the two-tone and flouncing look fantastic, very inventive without looking costume-y.

  33. M.Amanda

    What? Are you kidding? All pretty.

  34. foo

    I think it would be completely gorgeous if:

    1) the ring around the collar departed and the little dangly hanging off the sleeve and rolling down to the waist was detached.

    2) The sleeve was joined by an opposing sleeve, sans dangle, for torso balance.

    3) the skirt was a solid either beige or black. (think the black would look better)

    Feeling much love for shoes that don’t look excruciating and are great looking.

    She’s so pretty and looks great regardless.

  35. Petrova Fossil

    Fouffy at the top or fouffy at the bottom. Pick one.

  36. Craig

    I think it’s cute. I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed the retro styling; it looks to me like a 1950′s cocktail dress.

  37. Nancy

    It’s hideous and totally ugly-fies her. She should shoot whoever told her to wear it.

  38. Val

    Wow, really? She should SHOOT them?

  39. Julia

    I don’t mind the beige underneath, but I wish that the fold/block/ and extra sleeve-age on her left side weren’t there. It chops her up and makes the left side of her body look chunkier than the right side. I love the drapey collar, though!

  40. Melissa

    Freida Floofffiness Fantastic and like others not bothered by the beige. It’s the Fusssiness of the top that bothers me, just barely holding the ensemble back from being THWACK OUT OF THE BALL PARK HOME-RUN CUTE. But, frankly, only just. The girl is irrepressible.

  41. Sarah

    When I was 12, I played the rag doll/clown in The Nutcracker. The seamstress made me a dress exactly like this, except it had bright colors. She deemed it too ugly to wear onstage and found me something else.

  42. Kaitlyn

    She loves the sheer! And, actually judging by the previous are-these-uggos-or-not voting choices, it might be opined that the Fug Girls have a secret crush on the sheer also.

    In the same vein that Tilda Swinton is now SWINTON, I vote that we leave this as is, and initiate F.Pin into the caps club. She is now SHEER!(with a side of MAYBE ILLUSION NETTING!) and I, personally, love it.

  43. Lizzie

    She’s so stinkin’ pretty that it almost doesn’t matter what she wears. Almost. This just doesn’t quite come together.

  44. estuare

    I think if the underdress were black, you’d lose the detail in the neck- and hemlines and they’d look too heavy and overdone. I would make the underdress an actual color, so it doesn’t look like a foundational undergarment. Personally I’d choose a nice ultramarine blue, but I think any jewel tone would do the trick.

    Of course I pretty much hate any garment that is mostly beige, taupe or nude in hue so maybe I’m biased.

  45. sean

    maybe u stupid bitces should look on style.com and se who is winning look of the day BY A LANDSLIDE today. fuck you very much.

  46. Nikki

    I don’t really care for the dress, but I totally read that red carpet panel as BARFITALIA instead of BAFTRA/LA and thought to myself: “Well, there’s a terrible name for an airline.”

  47. aaron

    i think it’s absolutely great in terms of the color, neckline, silhouette etc. if it were strapless as someone up there posted it’d look like a prom dress. if i HAD to suggest an improvement, i’d say the upper half could fit a little better.

  48. Jen

    I actually like the black/nude combination, but if you are going for something that reminiscent of underwear, it should be more feminine and delicate than this. Basically, the cut is thinking Barbarella, the colour scheme is thinking Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

  49. Emma

    There’s no way to unfug it. It’s just a fugly dress on RADIANTLY beautiful woman.

  50. Jess

    Listen, I love sheer curtains as much as the next girl, but someone needs to tell dear sweet Frida here that she shouldn’t clothe herself in sheers all the time. Tell her taylor to invest in opaque fabrics.

  51. sarah b.

    Hmm. That neckline seems very awkward to me. I’d push it down to around her shoulders and make it opaque. Also I’d make the whole dress black, or maybe make the underdress a deep aubergine while getting rid of those weird opaque stripes on the top layer of the skirt – that would be really fun and still look cute with her shoes (which I LOVE).

    Her face is totally gorgeous and she always looks so HAPPY. I wish she had someone to find her some really amazing clothes to match!

  52. Chelsea

    It’s the collar around the neck. While I don’t hate it if they just got rid of it I would like it so much more (so maybe I do hate it?).
