The Emancipation of Fugly

There are some celebrities who show up at events wearing a ceremonial Native American headdress and a white Elvis jumpsuit and you just chuckle and say, “Oh, Cher. You so crazy. Don’t ever change.”  At some point, these certain fugly-dressing celebs — the ones who push the limits of crazy dressing until it becomes, basically, mere costumery for their equally crazy personalities — would disappoint us if they showed up somewhere in something tasteful. What would horrify us in, say, Lindsay Lohan, elicts only delight on someone like, say, Mariah Carey:

Oh Mimi. You’re wearing a cropped demin jacket as a shirt, and you appear to have stolen your boots from Chewbacca. Don’t ever change.
