Fug File: SAG Awards

SAG Awards Unfug or Fab Carpet: Kerry Washington


It was nice hearing that somebody is wearing Rodarte; for a show that always gets a lot of attention (and is a tough invitation to finagle), I find that you don’t see much Rodarte on the red carpet anymore.

And this is a nice one — the bodice is cool, although I feel like I’ve seen a version of it before (but then again, on some level, I’m sure we’ve seen versions of all of these before). My potential beef is with the skirt, though. There is something delicate and lovely about it, yes, but it’s also perhaps a touch too tablecloth-y for me, to the point where all that at the bottom is detracting rather than enhancing. The edginess of the of the top is enough that even a simple, non-lacy white skirt might have been more appealing. So, Fug Nation: Did Olivia Pope nail it out of the gate, or does she need you to be her fixers?

SAG Awards Fug or Fab: Zuleikha Robinson


This dress is very pretty, but it also looks like the Designer Imposter of Rachel McAdams’s 2010 Oscar dress:

And that haircut is making her look like the Designer Imposter of Carly Rae Jepson.

And yet:

SAG Awards Well Played: Nina Dobrev


It always pleases me when Nina Dobrev shows up at a big awards show, because she is very, very talented, and very, very overlooked in the industry because she’s on a CW show, which is totally unfair (and ’twas ever thus, too; Gilmore and Buffy are proof of that). Further, when she does show up, Nina usually kills it.

And she did it again. She killed it dead. There is zero room for error in that gown, which makes it a great choice for someone genetically error-free. Everything — hair, makeup, color, accessories — is divine, and if I weren’t about to go drown my abs’ sorrows in a sandwich, I’d probably give up carbs after seeing this. (Well, no. That wouldn’t happen. But I’d talk about it for a few hours.)

Here is Nina the night before:

SAG Awards Fugs and Fabs: Ladies of The Office


Of all the ladies on The Office, Kate Flannery is the one who MOST has to leave her vanity at the door when she shows up to work. Sorry, Pam, but your sensible cardigans and dated skirts look like Barbie marvels compared to poor ol’ Meredith’s wardrobe. So Kate gets first place in this slideshow, because she looks bangin’ and I want you all to know it.

SAG Awards Adorably Played, Sally Field and Daniel Day-Lewis


I love how much these two clearly love each other. And I really love how hot and charming Daniel Day-Lewis is when he isn’t in full Method-actor mode as a cranky murderous cobbler or whatever. I forgot how good looking he is. Also: this is the place where I agitate for a Room With a View photo reunion at one of these things. Helena Bonham Carter is invited for Les Mis, DDL is obviously going to pop in to pick up his Best Actor award. Maggie Smith will be invited (but not attend) for Downton Abbey or Best Exotic Marigold Hotel Housing Everyone Who’s Ever Been In a British Movie. WE JUST NEED JULIAN SANDS. SOMEONE GET ME JULIAN SANDS.

SAG Awards Much Better Played: Kelly O and Giuliana


These were two of my least favorites at the Globes, and in fact, Giuliana was Fug Nation’s third-worst dressed person for that event. So HOORAY for their stylists getting it right this time; however, this has me very concerned for both of them that all the fashion mojo was wasted on a red-carpet show nobody watches (and which appeared, cheerfully, to have been produced by inebriated zoo animals), and that come Oscar time we will be back to Questionable City. T-minus one month…
