However hard she tries, she just never looks fashion-forward. She should stick to simple clothes, THIS she simply CANNOT carry.
She’s a lot like Katie Holmes in that way. Whenever they *try* too hard, it’s just cringeworthy.
The problem is exactly that (and yes, it applies to Holmes too) – you can always see how hard she’s trying, it never looks like she was born to wear this stuff.
Which is a good thing, in this case. Those pants are terrible. The SHOES, on the other hand, MUST BE MINE.
I immediately regret my use of the phrase “born to wear these clothes,” because that has weird Death-Eater / Aristocratic overtones, which was not my intent. I only mean to say, the clothes always wear HER, and it always looks like it’s such EFFORT to be her, which is never a good look, for anyone.
The issue is that Biel is the Jennifer Garner type: (very) pretty and sporty. The type that looks infuriatingly good in jeans and a button down. Not so much with the high-concept fashion. The trouble is, that doesn’t seem to be enough for Timberlake. He seems to fancy himself as the sort of guy who needs a Diane Kruger on his arm, i.e. someone who can Wear Fashion. Love the one your with, JT. Love the one your with.
AARGH…***you’re*** not ***your***. I need coffee.
This exactly is the difference between these types and the like of Diane Kruger, it’s almost you either have it or you don’t!
Not only are they fug, they are so unflattering. It’s unbelievable that she could make such great legs look so stumpy!
it’s like a tuxedo coat in that it stops at the waist and has tails – doesn’t close at the bottom in order to cover that crocheted monstrosity. she *wants* you to see her doilies.
So much THISness. The way it’s cut, the coat actually FRAMES the pants! Sorry, I just got shrieky.
“Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?”
She looks like me when I refuse to admit that coats come in sizes and try to wear last year’s coat on this year’s hips.
She looks like a nun from the midsection up, and an idiot below.
I think I need to have those shoes.
Word!
It’s the smug expression that really completes the whole look. She truly believes that this is awesome.
And look at the expression on Justin’s face–he absolutely knows that it is not. If she doesn’t have a girlfriend in London that would stop her from wearing this, he should have intervened. Although husbands telling their wives that they shouldn’t wear something often does NOT end well.
He dresses her right? So this is his fault.
… which seems weird to me. WHY does he dress her? Am I alone in thinking that’s sort of controlling in a Julia-Roberts-Sleeping-With-The-Enemy way?
Not always. I had one boyfriend who was just way more stylish than me. I mean, I do OK on my own, but he just has an amazing eye for clothes and what looks good with a person’s specific shape and features. So, because I knew and fully admitted this I always asked his opinion of what I was wearing and what goes with what and he would honestly and kindly (that part is important) help me out. It wasn’t creepy, it was just me acknowledging his tallent and appreciating his help and him gladly giving it.
See, Beth, that’s kind of the thing. With your situation, it is most likely your friends and general people on the street were not constantly sending each other pictures of you with captions of “holy crap – pants WHAT?” and the like. This otherwise very lovely Madame Timberlake is pretty consistently on the worst end of the fashion stick and yet she and the hubby both proudly announce that he’s “dressing her.” If your husband claims to be fashionable, but then dresses you in Vanessa Hudgins old crochet pants, you need to fire him as your dresser. He is, apparently, only good at dressing himself, which let us all admit is still an admirable thing, but not really a stylist career in the making.
No, I think so too–and Kim K is doing the same thing with Kanye–icky.
The rest of the outfit is cute (esp the shoes) but OH GOD those pants. I was slightly less offended when I thought they were just a see through crochet skirt; the fact that they are pants makes it so much worse.
I am now officially over the both of them.
Is this the same coat? http://gofugyourself.com/fugging-for-keeps-12-2012
Look like the same basic bad idea for an outfit, too.
Oh, for the love of cats. She’s done this before (mostly) and it was no better then.
So she can play “Who Fugged it More?” with herself???
OMG. You are so right. And she’s gotten more extreme with the see-through pants this time. The next time will be no pants at all…just really short see-through shorts.
She looks like she is going to a Tarts and Vicars party, except she couldn’t decide which to be. Vicar up top with her frock coat and tart on the bottom with whatever those pants are.
At first glance I thought it was a longish black skirt and patterned tights, which could have been fine. But noooo, it’s pants?!
Maybe she was hoping that this would earn her more Fug Madness votes. She’s going to be very upset when she realizes that this outfit won’t qualify until 2014!!
she’s Vanessa Hudgens from the waist down and Alexa Chung from the waist up. It’s like one of those children’s toys, only for Celebrity Fug! Heather and Jessica, I think you guys should market them.
This is very Hester Prynne (minus the scarlet letter) down to the waist, then it’s very senior-home hipster-granny crochet sweatshop.
The scary part is that I prefer the horrible pants to the other option, which is some hard-core Puritan chic.
(Props on the use of “poncey!”)
She’s pretty and you’re not going to put me off her. With most things of this sort, the many flashbulbs caught together at the wrong moment cause everything to look see-through and unflattering. Granted, if people KNOW they are going to get flash-bombed they should avoid these things (like you avoid wearing certain stripes on TV). But the pants and outfit probably look more sedate in normal nighttime (non)lighting.
Seems like the GFY ‘hood is becoming ever-more extra bitchy and snarky and well… fugly to others lately. It makes me feel icky.
I will say this, Kaydee, she has a beautiful face and a fabulous figure, and I’m very very glad she isn’t sporting those heavy bangs anymore, because they totally obscured how insanely pretty she is.
But I can’t defend the pants.
I’m confused, Kaydee — nobody is telling you not to think she’s pretty! We think she is pretty. And she is so much prettier than those pants. I think the pants might be indefensible, and since she has been quoted as saying Justin picks out her clothes, I think we are actually doing her a favor by blaming him for them instead.
Also, DUDE. Seriously? You’re going to say that granny panties with crochet bell bottoms might, at some point, be OK to wear? Even if it were Halloween, and she was going as the ghosts of Fugly Past, in plural, there would be no excuse. And, except for maaaaaybe Anne Hathaway hate (which is occasionally abated, anyway), I have never found the Fug ladies to be unsound in their judgement, or even using personal judgement against someone’s clothes. Get some perspective, Kaydee.
Justin…is that you???
Hmm. I quite like the entire ensemble. The pants would have been crazy without the overcoat. But I love it all together.
It’s so sad, because it’s such a great face and figure.
Punctuation really does matter. The FugGirls say “look into pants” and starlets think “Look-Into Pants” are the fashion must-have of the season.
@Kaydee: I respect the fact that you are finding the snark to be too harsh. But I will defend to the death the idea that those pants are see-through in any lighting.
Isn’t that Severus Snape’s overcoat?
Please, may we make it a law that she is only to be called “Lady Timberbiel” from now on?
Agreed – Lady Timberbiel is perfect.
The outfit has been sufficiently discussed but I’m confused about the title. Isn’t this title for Alba, rather than Biel? Or if I’m missing something, please advise. I keep trying to make it work…
Another example that money can’t buy style.
I want the pattern for the lace that made those pants, so I can stitch it into something that WILL work, like a scarf. Crochet doesn’t need monstrosities like this dragging it down.
That coat needs to find its way to my closet. Also, the shoes.
But Jessica, please. Dump JT and find a stylist. ‘Kay?
“Bring it on down to Fuggerville” hahahahaha
I don’t think the outfit is hideous, but I don’t quite understand it! Like, it’s not the worst thing she’s ever worn, but what is it? It’s just a weird combo of mixed feelings! I love her shoes… Those I’ll take in a 8½!
so bad. so. bad.
I don’t get it with Jessica Biel. She’s tall, she’s slim, she’s pretty, she’s got a great body and then she wears THIS! She could wear anything really, it’s not like she’s short of money either! I just find her fashion taste so bland. So personality-less.
She either has terrible taste in clothes, or in stylists. Because she has never, ever, ever looked really, really, good. Her choices have always been a little off, boring, unflattering or just WTF in general.
Black shower curtain pants! I can’t decide if they beat WHITE MESH PANTS. Oh, the torture!
Trying too hard.
I love that coat. Everything else she can keep.
