Fug or Fab: Katie Holmes

Dec 13, 2012 By Heather AT 11:00 am

Either Katie Holmes grew out this hair while she was plotting her escape from Cruiselandia and I just didn’t notice, or she’s added some extensions.

Either way, it looks nice and healthy, but I’m wondering if perhaps she’s not used to it all because every photo I found of her looked like this:

Twilight: Fugging Dawn

Nov 15, 2011 By Jessica AT 9:00 am

I don’t even know what to say about this:

Every time I look at it, I giggle. It’s a velvet suit — excuse me. It’s a CRUSHED VELVET SUIT.  A RED CRUSHED VELVET SUIT. It’s like someone told Jackson Rathbone that he was going to a costume party where everyone was supposed to dress like an Interview With the Vampire megafan, rather than to the premiere of the movie in which HE HIMSELF plays a vampire (albeit complete with hideous wig and scatter-shot accent). In the 90s. And that everyone’s costume had to be constructed solely from remnants scavenged from the costume closet on Melrose Place between October and February, 1994. He would totally win THAT costume contest.

Fug and Fabbish? Ryan Gosling

Um, can we talk about what’s going on with Ryan Gosling? I was never that hot for him — except, obviously, in The Notebook, and also, kind of, secretly, during commercials for that new movie he’s in with Emma Stone, who is helpfully sporting the red hair in it — but I know that many, many, many MANY of you would disagree with that assessment. And so I’m worried for you, because I feel like for those of you who ARE hot for him, this might be the equivalent of  how I would feel if Jon Hamm showed up somewhere in a leisure suit.

The Fugighter

Note to Melissa Leo:

It’s too late to somehow ALSO  talk people into taking you into consideration for an Oscar for True Grit. That outfit isn’t going to do anything. Just so you know.

Oscars and Independent Spirit Awards Well Played/Fug or Fab Carpet: Vera Farmiga

Mar 3, 2011 By Jessica AT 9:30 am

I don’t know who the crossed-arms dude standing behind Vera “ORPHAN” Farmiga is, but I do think he’s cute. So is her dress:

In fact, I think she looks smashing, and I love that her main accessory is a perfect red lip. The ORPHAN SPOILER 35 year-old Russian hooker with a pituitary gland issue and a past of institutionalization inside me — we all have one –  is ALSO into this.

But what did she wear to the Independent Spirits?

BAFTAs Fug or Fab Carpet: Julianne Moore

Feb 18, 2011 By Heather AT 11:00 am

Overall, I really like this dress on Julianne.

But the the bow on the back of the dress interferes — in photos, anyway — with the lines of the front.  I think in person it probably looked normal, because the eye could distinguish between Dress and Back Bow, but in a flat two-dimensional photo you can’t. So in almost every photo she looked unusually wide and boxy, and it’s because where they SHOULD be air because of the curvature of her hip, you are instead seeing more blue velvet (not to be confused with Blue Velvet; if you see Isabella Rossellini’s head floating around back there, please do seek professional help). I chose this picture because the light falls in such a way that you can tell what’s going on a bit better, but it’s an unfortunate optical illusion with an otherwise nice dress that actually looks very pretty on her — and as an added bonus, does not have a giant sleeve that looks like a deflated balloon.

However, the whole issue could’ve been solved by just not HAVING the bow on the back, and I’m thinking I would’ve liked that alteration:
