Fug or Fab: Emmy Rossum


Well, her hair and makeup have improved since last time, although something about the lipstick here gives me the quick-take impression that she just ate a peach or something and it’s smeared all over her mouth.

And I love almost all of the dress,  but can’t escape the notion that I wish it ended as it began instead of defaulting to a plain fringe curtain. It’s not the dress’s fault that the world is a place where these terms exist, but nonetheless: You never want to be the outfit that makes the words “golden shower” come to mind.

Give it the treatment:

Fug or Fab: Elizabeth Banks


Something about this dress reminds me of Jennifer Lawrence — as if it just missed the cut for her Hunger Games promo tour, and then got handed down to somebody who promised to give it a good home, or rather, a good shoe.

Elizabeth definitely lived up to the shoe promise. The dress itself, though, has a definite Sexy Alien vibe to it — which doesn’t have to be a bad thing; I just can’t tell if it works on her here. Maybe it needed romantic hair, as opposed to a semi-severe updo that reminds me faintly of Max Headroom. Or maybe my mind is playing tricks on me: At some point I wondered what this would’ve looked like if the front were actually the back, and so it’s possible my brain now can’t see it any other way. But I THINK overall I dig it, with some minor imaginary tailoring to her head suit. There’s always something.

Oscar Well Played, Meryl Streep


It’s always good news when your outfit inadvertently matches your award. I don’t think there’s anyway she planned that, given that she seemed sincerely stunned by her win — as were we, honestly. Viola, I had my money on you.

Well Played, Elizabeth Banks


I hope Elizabeth Banks escapes the martial/marital clutches of Kim Jong-un soon and returns to 30 Rock. I was so meh on her before she joined that show, and now — in the grand tradition of people who eventually seduce me with their talent — I think she’s awesome. As is this outfit.
