SAG Awards Unfug It Up: Edie Falco

Jan 20, 2014 By Jessica AT 6:30 am

The good news is, I like this way more than the wine bag she wore to the Globes:

The bad news is, I feel like it still kind of looks like she dug it out of the sale rack at Chico’s, and I am not nearly as into Chico’s as Drake is. And yet, I think this is fixable….somehow. What would you do? Fix the hem? Make it into a top, worn with a simpler skirt? BURN IT WITH FIRE? Wait, that last one is too easy.

Critics’ Choice Movie Awards Unfug It up: Jessica Chastain

Jan 17, 2014 By Jessica AT 10:00 am

I WANT to like this. But I want to like a lot of things: whatever I’m cooking up for dinner in the slow-cooker, the next few episodes of Revenge, what my hair is doing right now. We don’t always get what we want:

I mean, the color is good….? I think my issue is that I don’t understand what it is about this dress that is just leaving me cold. I just stared at it for ten minutes and then announced to the empty room, “This dress makes her head look small.” Which makes me wonder, is it her HAIR that we need to be blaming? Would this be better if she did this hair with it? Does she maybe just need a belt and some sunglasses? Should she go up half a size? Should she start over? Or am I just totally off my rocker, as usual?

Golden Globes Unfug It Up: Jennifer Lawrence

This isn’t the worst Dior of the lot, by any means, but that doesn’t mean I have to love it.

It just looks a bit like she’s wearing a carpet that only got part-way untied and unrolled. I want to snip out the second black piece and then see what we’ve got — something simple, sure, but at least it would be more flattering. The hair still isn’t flattering to her face shape, either, and I think her makeup may have been TOO heavy-handed, but let’s stay on topic: When talking to Seacrest, Jennifer noted that she was wearing Dior, with a quick quip about what a huge shocker that would be to everyone. Methinks she’s getting bored of it and when they uncage this beast — whenever the hell that happens (she was announced as the Miss Dior face in October 2012) — I think we’re in for a serious fashion binge, like going off gluten for a week and then being put in a room full of delicious, delicious sandwiches. She will CONSUME IT ALL, side effects be damned.

People’s Choice Unfug It Up: Lucy Hale

I don’t even know if we’re removing fug, so much as trying to create more fab.

I can’t decide how I feel about the pattern, exactly, but I so appreciate that she wore one that I’m basically happy with it. But somehow the sleeve, though helpful for warmth, pushes it into Way Too Much territory for me. So I’d maybe kill that sucker and then replace the shoes that scream I GIVE UP with something more fun — like, how about a gray, even, or a gray-blue that plays off the subtler colors in the dress? Kat Dennings wore some kind of grey pump in one of her outfits, I think, so they’re certainly out there. Just SOMETHING to lighten up the mood down there. And since she’s petite, I almost might bring this above the knee. I don’t know. Help me, Fug Nation. Or do I not need help, because it should stay as-is? Do I need help for other reasons? I’m so tired. What day is it?

People’s Choice Awards Unfug It Up: Anna Faris

Here’s the thing: We all love The Golden Girls. We just do. And if you haven’t seen it, trust me, you do. Even if you don’t, you do.

But that love has its place, and that place is usually: your couch; a lanai; a conversation with a friend in which said friend needs you to make a Zbornak face at her; if you are in Sicily; if you are in St. Olaf or attending St. Olaf College or happen to BE St. Olaf; if you are dating a man with a particularly dated mustache; etc. There are lots of places, basically, but the red carpet is not one of them. Not when you are young and you are foxy. The basic WORK on this is stunning; I just wish we could, say, fit the shirt and turn it into a gown, maybe with a belt/midriff accent that’s a slice of color. OR fit it, make it a more flowing than fitted skirt, and have it be one of those slice-of-midriff outfits. But those pants are unforgivable on a person under 55, right? And even then, they probably don’t deserve much mercy.

Unfug or Fab: Kristen Wiig

Dec 13, 2013 By Heather AT 10:00 am

Here’s another one I couldn’t come down on definitively:

Love the bodice, love the shoes, can’t help wondering if the skirt length is stumpifying — and in fact, the skirt itself looks kind of like a mourner’s petticoat, as if it was never supposed to see the light of day, but grief drove her mad, MAD I TELL YOU, and she wandered out of her chambers without reapplying her overskirt. AND FINALLY, I can’t tell if I really want her to wear a dark red lip with this, or if I’m just tired of celebrities wearing ONLY sheer gloss anymore and I’m just pushing against that with all my bloggy might (so, more of a wimpy nudge).
