Grammy Awards Fug Carpet: Robyn

Feb 13, 2012 By Jessica AT 7:30 am

In Robyn’s own words: CALL YOUR GIRLFRIEND….

…And ask her why she let you leave the house looking like this. (I am paraphrasing.)

    my only problem are the shoes (even though i could use those in this snow).
    i cant find anything terribly wrong with dress (maybe a size bigger) because i think it kind of fits her personal style and grammys ARE all about the legs

      They are, but if I had legs like hers I’d keep them hidden. Ick.

    It isn’t often that I type LOL and literally mean it, but I did LAUGH OUT LOUD at this outfit.

    Sadly, I don’t think this is a dress, Cathy. It looks like a men’s undershirt tucked into a satin skirt. Plus, anyone notice the nail through her finger?!

    I was scrolling through the red-carpet stories this AM on msn and came across the Robyn pick. I HAD to come to GFY and you girls didn’t dissapoint! The MSN photo didn’t show the shoes – too bad.

    This is a case where the accessories take over the outfit. Those shoes are horrendous, I’m distracted by whatever is going on up there on her right ear and OH MY GOD WHAT HAS SHE DONE TO HER FINGER CAN’T LOOK AGAIN EW EW EW.

    Oy vey. That Robyn can get you up and dancing, but was in desperate need of a scissor, or a stylist. One or the other. Definitely one of my Not Best Dressed http://bit.ly/zfMXIO

    THERE”S A TRAINLET. Did no one else see the fabric dribbling out the back of her skirt? I doubt the nail goes through her finger. I’m thinking it’s a ring that has spikes on either side and a normal back so it LOOKS like she impaled herself. Although it could be a straight up nail. I don’t know her life.

      Worse, the trainlet looks like it’s a white kitchen binbag tucked into the back of her knickers. For the love of god, why??

    I have to admit I don’t know who this is. All I can say is, “Holy crap.”

      she’s an awesome pop-star. She had a few hits back in the late 90′s like “Show Me Love” and has continued to make awesome dance/pop her most recent album Body Talk is amazing and was very successful critically and commercially. It’s sort of like how Kylie Minogue had a few 80′s hits (Locomotion) and then continued to make music bust wasn’t popular in the US again until Can’t Get You Out of my Head

    Holy shit. Look at those clown feet!

    No matter what she’s wearing, she always looks like Elroy Jetson to me.

    Well, it will keep her feet clean at the after-party.

    So, she was at a Formal Construction site, when she shot herself with a nail gun through the finger. Perhaps she cut off the front of her skirt, which was drenched in blood, in the limo on the way to the Grammys?

    So, I guess it’s her thing to wear unappealing clothes on purpose? *is out of the loop*

    You know a pair of shoes are really really really ugly when you don’t even notice a) she has a NAIL through her finger or b) she has a frickin’ NAIL through her finger.

    I almost choked on my salad when I first saw this. What a tragedy.

    I bet the lumberjack would be willing to swap back her pants for his boots.

    Also, of course that thing on her hand is an optical illusion. If you really had a nail stuck through your flesh it would be swollen and discolored and you’d be howling in agony. Go ahead and ask me how I know that!

    Umm guys… is that a safety pin in her ear?

    I HATE THAT THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO MAKE THOSE PLATFORM SNEAKERS HAPPEN! PRADA BE DAMNED! Also I really wish Robyn started having better hair days as well… that is all.

    Why do those shoes exist?

    Sandra- how is it that you …no, never mind. I can certainly guess.

    This photo makes me ask when it became fashionable not to suck in your stomach? I see otherwise pretty young things standing like that all the time, and I parrot My Father The Colonel’s admonition: Stand up straight! Shoulders back, chin down, stomach in!

    If you want to know who Robyn is do yourself a favor and watch this AMAZING video of Taran Killam from SNL recreating her video for Call Your Girlfriend. I seriously can’t stop giggling at it.

      That’s great @yeahandalso
      Robyn is amazing, and it’s a crime that her wonderful “Body Talk” records were not even nominated for a Grammy. Even a duet with Snoop Dogg didn’t give her the radio play/ record sales she deserves here in America. This woman writes her own music, produces it and runs her own record label in Sweden, her home country. If you like great dance music, do yourself a favor and click this link:

      That said, her “fashion” sense oftentimes makes me cringe. While I love that she has her own style and isn’t a Barbie doll, I wish she would “play the game” and tone down the Fugly a bit in order to conquer America. Her Grammy look is not good

        Ugh! Correction: Robyn WAS nominated for 2 Grammys that didn’t get to be shown on TV but lost to the horrible dubstep “artist” called Skrillex. No way!
        Robyn deserved to win those 2 Grammys. And since the category wasn’t televised, the whole country wouldn’t have even been able to see her fugly outfit. Not fair!

    When I saw this picture elsewhere I immediately thought of the Fug Girls and how Robyn deliberately calculated the worst look she could to get on your website.

    She looks very “Eurovision”

    I think T.Lo put it best (and most succinctly): “Mental patient.” ‘Nuff said.

    She is two shoes and three hair snips away from being Justin Bieber.

    in closeups, that is not really going through her finger. it’s a ring, it wraps around her finger on the other side. i think she pretty much is a freak-genius and makes brilliant swedish dance pop, but damn girl, fix your outfit.

    I just can’t stay mad at Robyn. You just know she loved that outfit SO MUCH and did a bunch of goofy little dances about it. <3

    After the workout – what is that hanging on her ear?? Is it a phone? Do they make cell phones that hang on your year that way? Am I missing something?

    I’m so sorry guys, I know it’s a damn FASHION site, but I’m such a fan and this is really the most silly, cute adorable low-budget video ever:

    Sure the outfit is from a rave at a construction site, but thanks for getting me acquainted with the artist Robyn. I didn’t know her music, now I do and rather enjoy it.

    This has to be one of the fugliest combos ever seen on this site.
