Fug File: floral

Well Played, Sarah Jessica Parker


After coming to last year’s Met Ball as a hideous Versace throw-pillow, Sarah Jessica Parker had kind of a rough year for the fug. So perhaps getting to go full-on awesomely costumey this year will hit SJP’s reset button.

It’s not super elaborate, but the pattern is striking, the hit of turquoise is really pretty, and it’s flattering — it makes her look tall, which we all know that even in heels she is not. The twin cuffs might be a touch too much, but basically, I think this is a good example of her simply picking a really, really nice dress and looking really, really nice in it. There doesn’t always have to be a statement any louder than that.

Met Ball Fug Carpet: Kim Kardashian


Apparently Kim had a tough time finding a dress to wear because of how she’s pregnant, which… y’all, her uterine occupancy level is not a secret at this point. If the people creating gowns for her aren’t making proper allowances for the fact that pregnant ladies’ wombs have the audacity to keep growing throughout the entire gestation period, then they are jerks. But also, she switched into this one at the last minute and then her stylist made them add sleeves because of her arms, or something…? And so on the one side, Kim reportedly has Kanye all mad that she was messing with his friend Ricardo Tichi’s piece of art, and on the other, she has a new stylist who supposedly fat-shamed her pregnant ARMS to the point where they wallpapered them. I want to hug her. Yes, you read that right. Somehow, even temporarily, I am on Team Kim Kardashian and I want to take her out for lunch and be like, “All those jerkwads can suck it, MOST ESPECIALLY for not stopping you from wearing that hideous floral carpet in the first place. JUST STAY HOME and crack wise at the live feed like the rest of us. Way more fun.”

So, you know how we’re always saying, “Nice slinky dress, Kristen, but would it KILL YOU to wear a COLOR?”

I think she may be flipping us off here.

Fug or Fab: Gwyneth Paltrow (With an RDJ Side-Salad)


The good news is, this isn’t a jumpsuit — it’s a shirt and pants. So I don’t feel as wrong about the fact that I’m strangely attracted to this.

ACM Awards Well Chosen: Carrie Underwood


I say “well chosen” instead of “well played” because, while I love this, I am not entirely sure the two of them were M.F.E.O. Which is to say, “made for each other,” which, if you have ever seen Sleepless in Seattle, you probably cannot read without seeing in your mind’s eye the expression of nauseated shock on Meg Ryan’s face while she translates it thusly from a letter she believes Tom Hanks wrote. Good times.

Well Played, Leslie Mann


Florals can be tough — it’s so easy to veer into loud, or ’70s sofa, or twee.

But Leslie Mann avoided all those traps somehow. This feels springy and pretty, yet still plenty dramatic. In fact, I think it’s what I want my aura to look like. Unfortunately it’s hard to give something a makeover that you can’t see. Maybe if jam a photo of this under my pillow, some random aura pixies will pop by and do me up right.
