VMA Fug or Fab Carpet: Solange

You know, believe it or not, I think the haircut is the least of Solange’s problems.

It has grown on me. I actually think she might pull it off if she knew what the hell to do with her makeup — her lips look like she just snacked on a bottle of Pepto Bismol.

And then there’s the dress. For New York mag, I wrote that she’s dressed as a present someone brought to a funeral, and I do still believe that. I mean, I’m pretty sure the thing on her right shoulder is something Target sells in a rainbow of colors.  But the more I stare at her, the more I conclude: She’s kind of WORKING it, no? Yeah, there’s some reflection coming off her left boob, but this is Solange we’re talking about — she’s finally picked something unusual that DOESN’T look like she drew it after she was hanging something in the bathroom and slipped and hit her head on the toilet. I’ve got to give her props for that.
