CFDA Fashion Awards Fug or Fab Carpet: Emilie de Ravin

Jun 11, 2010 By Jessica AT 10:00 am

It’s a bad sign for Emilie de Ravin’s career that I saw this picture and thought, “Who is that? She looks familiar.”

Maybe I’m just used to seeing her with Claire’s crazy Island Hair. One of my favorite moments of the last few episodes of Lost was when Kate was trying to get her to leave with them, and Claire goes, “I CAN’T, LOOK AT ME.”  The next line was, “I’m CRAZY,” but I truly thought it was going to be, “MY HAIR IS A MESS.”

So at least she’s got her hair back to normal (yes, yes, I know it was a wig). And this outfit is certainly better than what she was wearing on the show, but what isn’t? The thing is, while it appears to be covered in crumbled up Kleenexes that she used to wipe off her mascara, I also kind of LIKE it. Is that….even possible?

To Fugmother’s House We Go

Jun 11, 2010 By Heather AT 8:00 am

I mean, look, at least the Olsen twins are consistent.

Crazy proprotions? Check. Stumpifying old-lady silhouettes? Check. Black witch’s robes? Check. Worn with sandals, despite all other appearances of being freezing, including a scarf that evokes Cate Blanchett’s famous granny-quilt dress? Check. The wrinkle here is the crinkly ssee-through portion, but basically, somehow, against all odds, the Olsen twins manage daily to find sufficient new fug that keeps them in the style to which we’ve become accustomed.

They did the same at the CFDA awards, albeit streamlined:

You The Jury: Jessica Biel

Jun 9, 2010 By Heather AT 10:00 am

Jessica Biel is seriously making the rounds — I know she has the A-Team movie coming out, but by the time that premiere even happens, she’ll be a zombie. Although I guess she did just climb Kilamanjaro, so it’s possible that compared with scaling a massive chilly peak, showing up in a bunch of dresses with her hair done just-so is not a problem. It may have impacted her  judgment, though. Please come on down and get all evidenciary with me.

Exhibit A:

The prosecution suggests that this looks like a nicotine-stained caftan; the defense announces that it’s actually sort of striking and youthful. Aghast, the prosecutors express concern that the defense is unaware that the unofficial definition of “caftan” is, “garment worn by octagenarians as a swim cover-up, or cocktail-hour attire whenever the pool boy or a strapping plumber is finishing his duties.” The defense pauses for a moment, wiping tears of grief from its eyes and then choking that the prosecution is committing a crime against America by defiling the very garment cherished by many, if not all, of our fallen Golden Girls, and requests a moment of silence.

CFDA Fashion Awards Fug Carpet: Fabiola Beracasa

Jun 8, 2010 By Jessica AT 2:00 pm

I just love Fabiola. She is one of my favorite People Without Jobs Who Just Show Up Places In Crazy Outfits:

In this case, clearly she’s just popped by on her way back from the pool. Nothing, after all, says “PARTY!” like a bathing suit topped off with the world’s most glamorous cover-up. AT LAST I know what to wear for all those events I get invited to where the dress code reads, “Formal Swimwear.”

CFDA Fashion Awards Fug or Fab Carpet: Sarah Jessica Parker

Jun 8, 2010 By Jessica AT 1:30 pm

Surely, the CFDA Awards are the best place to trot out your McQueen Zuul frock — especially since SJP wore it while presenting a special, and, by all accounts, very touching, tribute to McQueen:

In addition to being thematically very appropriate, this particular version reminds me less of Patterns from the Underworld and more of Patterns from My Grandma’s Collection of Housedresses. This is not a bad thing. My Grandma had a housedress with a pattern that looked very much like this, which she wore while she puttered around doing important things like spying on the neighbors, or placing me in a position to spy on the neighbors for her while she watched Days of Our Lives and ate ice cream. So it fills me with nostalgia, more than anything else — as well as the desire to see what the people across the alley from me are doing. And thanks to all that, I must say that I look on it rather more favorably than you might have anticipated.

It’s also kind of fabulous in motion:

CFDA Fashion Awards Fug Carpet: Jessica Stam

Jun 8, 2010 By Heather AT 1:00 pm

Oh,  Jessica. J.Stam. Stammy. Stamalamadingdong. Uzbekistam. Stammy Jo Carrington.

We’ve seen this a bajillion times already, from Vanessa Hudgens, Kate Beckinsale, Liv Tyler, Courtney Love… and countless others, and this may be the most boring iteration yet. Well, excluding the giant necklace, which reminds me of nothing so much as those Twist Beads that were super popular in the ’80s, where you paired up whatever colored strings you wanted and then twisted them together and fastened them with one clasp. I don’t think we need those to come back in, though, so let’s forget I said anything and just focus on the zzzzzzzzzzz.
