Fab or Fine: Amy Adams


Y’all know I have been less than enamored of Amy’s outfits lately. And in one case, I think maybe I tried too hard to like it because I was sick of that blah wah-waaaaah feeling. Tell me: Am I doing the same here? Or is this actually good?

The color is a nice rich red, and she doesn’t look stumpy, and the fit seems precise. But I freely admit I might just be hypnotized by her cascade of titian tresses, which is basically its own Pantene ad. The longer I look at her face, the more I wonder if she needed to stop doing the exact same makeup she does every other day for every other type of event, and branch into a red that plays with the dress… but then again, I am someone who doesn’t know HOW to do any makeup other than mascara and whatever lip gloss I just found in my purse, so what do I know?

What do YOU know?

It’s a Good Fug/Hilariously Played, Karolina Kurkova


Martha, Martha, MARTHA.

If, and only if, this ballet you’re seeing is about the time Dorothy Zbornak took a South Beach spin class taught by Charo, then I accept you wearing gold lame dance pants. AND if this ballet you’re seeing is about the time Dorothy Zbornak took a South Beach spin class taught by Charo, and you didn’t send me tickets, I will NEVER do any scrapbooking ever again and what’s more A CRAFTING TABLE WILL NEVER ENTER THIS HOUSE. OH YES, YOU HEARD ME.

Just in case you were wondering whether the dress code for this event was Jazzerthighs:

Fab It Up: Maria Sharapova


“Unfug” is not exactly the right word here, because I actually don’t think this is fugly. But “Lessfug” isn’t as catchy. So I went with how to make this even better.

I  love the idea of the red leather and the way it’s cut, but for a summer party in honor of Hamptons magazine, doesn’t this seem a little… constricting? And maybe sweaty? It’s the neckline that’s nibbling at me more than the sleeves — somehow it’s making her seem boxy, and so very covered up when it’s so very August. Ergo, while I quite like this and might even have loved it in another circumstance, I am wondering if she’d look even cuter if the neckline were gentler, or it were short-sleeved/sleeveless. Sure, it’s Valentino, but can’t she call them up and make outrageous demands? Isn’t that the fun of being a celebrity?

I would...

Unfug or Fab: Tika Sumpter


Okay, Tika, let me have it.

You gave us a golden panty-sheath the other day at another Sparkle event, but this appears to be drama of a more opaque variety. I’m curious. Let’s turn you around — you’re like a matador baiting the bull up there, and I don’t want to find myself suddenly snorting and scraping at dirt.

Well Played, Kristen Stewart


I originally titled this, “Well Played, Kristen StewarD,” so perhaps my weekend didn’t take. That being said, I am taken with this (see what I did there??). Let us take a closer peek, shall we?
