This started out fairly dishy.

Then it turned into a series of weird optical illusions: I keep thinking it’s a jumpsuit, possibly because of the awkward length; then, I realize it’s possible the length only looks awkward because of the shoes she chose, and THEN I get completely transfixed by THAT oddball effect. Because the nude upper looks like she’s in bare feet resting on black platforms, I get distracted trying to figure out why her toes are glued together, before remembering they’re INSIDE a shoe, and… y’all, I should not have to work this hard. It’s fashion. But it feels like physics homework.

Oh, Nicki Minaj. You are a treat.  From the waist up, you look like a totally normal person (who perhaps spends an inordinate amount of time in the False Lashes aisle Sephora, but I’m over there hoovering up the lip gloss, so who am I to judge?):

Like, I feel like I could run into this girl at the bank or whatever and not even bat an eye. Well, I might be like, “are we wearing big huge gold hoops again? Awesome, I totally have some of those somewhere,” but that would be it.

And then she would walk out from behind her desk and SHIT WOULD JUST GET REAL:

Kids’ Choice Awards Fug Carpet: Heidi Klum

Apr 4, 2012 By Jessica AT 11:00 am

I mean, truth time: her face at least always looks pretty great:

And I actually think the dress is very pretty: simple, flattering, classy. I just wish she hadn’t paired it with boots that look like they were designed to be worn on Halloween when you’ve been relegated to the back end of a two-person elephant costume. And knowing how much Heidi loves Halloween, they may very well be just that. Sigh — now that she and Seal are kaput, who will be the head of her elephant? You’ve got six months to figure it out, babe. Choose wisely.

Oscars Fug Carpet: Paz Vega

Let’s see: Do we think Paz Vega is merely brushing away her hair…

… or wiping away the agonized sweat of a lady whose hip is crowning with a newborn Kling-On?

Oscars Fug Carpet: Elizabeth Banks

I want to like this. I really do!

But it looks like someone was in the middle of plucking her, but got distracted and wandered off.  I guess when faced with the choice to go to the event half-plucked, or to go pluck herself, she chose the less labor-intensive option. Can’t say I blame her.

People’s Choice Scrolldown Fug/Well Played: Nina Dobrev

Jan 12, 2012 By Heather AT 1:30 pm

Let me say first that I love the color here.

Then as we drift down the dress, I am pretty sure I still like it, even though it’s not inspiring me as much as I want it to — the lace feels like somebody’s last-minute afterthought addition to try and dress up a plain shift. But it’s fine. I still like it, and it was better than a lot of what else got hauled down the carpet.

And then, we get to the bottom. It’s the SHOES that are sticking in my craw. I don’t know what it is — the fact that almost all of her toes are out, the long strap down the center… hard to tell, but somehow it’s all reflecting back upward and giving a clunky aura to to the outfit. They make her feet look enormous. This seems unfair. I’ve never looked at Nina Dobrev, long and slender as everything else about her is, and thought, “Wow, she’s on skis down there.” In fact, her feet didn’t look big the day before:
