Did you miss Round One? Do you still need a bracket

(1) DUA LIPA v. (8) PEYTON LIST

There is one thing that we’ve said about basically ALL four women in this bracket and it is this: “Her head looks GREAT but….” And it is particularly true of Dua Lipa, whose hair and makeup is often PERFECT while the rest of her is, well…..

Hits 97.3 Sessions at America's Backyard, Fort Lauderdale, USA - 11 Jun 2018

This is…an experience. I’d make a Project Runway joke but it’s sort of insulting to Project Runway.

The glam team did MASTERFUL work here, too, but it’s hard to draw focus from a SPARKLY HOUNDSTOOTH BRA. (Sparkly Houndstooth Bra is my new indie band. We’re very peppy!)

39th Brit Awards, Warner Music Group After Party, London, UK - 20 Feb 2019

And, again, her entire head is great here, which is I guess why her look is totally unfinished from the waist down. They ran out of time:

Alita: Battle Angel Film Premiere

Like, literally ran out of time to actually construct the rest of her skirt.

And her hair and makeup is, yet again, quite polished here — I love this sharp bob! — but WHAT IS THE REST OF THIS?

2018 Z100's Jingle Ball

It’s like the 80s ate a portion of A Chorus Line that had gone bad, and then barfed it up all over her.

This is also VERY 80s. OMG, I loved Dynasty too but WOW:

25th MTV Europe Music Awards in Bilbao

Honestly, that mostly just needs pants. There’s a reason Look Into Pants is one of our Frequently Uttered Phrases. But seriously…look into them? Just occasionally. Except…

Billboard's 13th Annual Women in Music, Arrivals, New York, USA - 06 Dec 2018

Not THESE pants. These pants are terribly underwhelming. For someone whose personal style is so vibrant in my imagination, Dua actually sometimes drifted into Blandy Blandersonville:

It’s QUITE difficult to wear something that is simultaneously bland AND sheer, so….congrats?

Finally, I leave you with this:

Warner Music's Pre-Grammys Party, Arrivals, The NoMad Hotel, Los Angeles, USA - 07 Feb 2019

Speaking of sheers, Peyton List LOVED a sheer this past Fug Madness season:

I could just…present a SERIES of sheer without comment. Like:

NYFW Spring/Summer 2019-Naeem Khan Runway Show, New York, USA - 11 Sep 2018

Sheer!

Harper's Bazaar ICONS party, Arrivals, Spring Summer 2019, New York Fashion Week, USA - 07 Sep 2018

SHEER!

'Solo: A Star Wars Story' film premiere, Arrivals, Los Angeles, USA - 10 May 2018

SHEER SHEER SHEER

Anthem Of A Teenage Prophet - Arrivals

SHEEEEEEER. That also has the benefit of being literally one of the worst things I’ve seen on a human body all year, so…again, congrats?

(8) WINNIE HARLOW v. (4) CHLOE GRACE MORETZ

OH MY GOD, speaking of sheers! Winnie LOVES THE SHEERS. We’ve had an interesting conversation of late about how she might be, at least in some of these, be using the sheer aspect of her gowns as a way to highlight her vitiligo, and embrace it as a beautiful thing (which it is!). I can certainly buy that in certain instances, but I also suspect that sometimes she wears what she wears because she, like many a model in this world, LOVES A SHEER.

This is, technically, not totally even an entire outfit?

Naturally, when we’re on the topic of sheers, our friends at Dior are like, “HELLO CAN I GET IN HERE! HELLO! HELLO, I AM RIGHT HERE!”

Dior Dinner Arrivals - The 71st Annual Cannes Film Festival

I am sort of sorry I already used my “only write the word SHEER” conceit on Peyton List, because technically it also applies to Winnie:

2018 MTV Video Music Awards - Arrivals

“‘Sheer’ backwards is ‘reehs,’ no, that doesn’t mean anything,” is a thing I just muttered to myself. THIS is why we started called sheer clothing “pizza” — because we got tired of talking about it, so ubiquitous was it, and we decided we’d rather chat about Italian carbs:

2018 MTV Video Music Awards

That’s honestly just undercrackers and a very complicated swimsuit cover-up, the sort of thing Lisa Rinna would wear on RHoBH.

This would have been gorgeous had it been LINED. I say that so often I feel like I need to write a song about it and make it my karaoke go-to:

The British Fashion Awards, Arrivals, Royal Albert Hall, London, UK - 10 Dec 2018

WE GET ITTTTTT:

Dior Addict Lacquer Plump event, Arrivals, Los Angeles, USA - 14 Mar 2018

Having said all that, her Oscars gown was not sheer and it was ALSO Not Great, so maybe someone’s stylish just needs a long trip to Bora Bora to rejuvenate her creative process?

Vanity Fair Oscar Party, Arrivals, Los Angeles, USA - 24 Feb 2019

Speaking of stylists, I think CGM got one toward the end of the year….but not soon enough to save her from this particular Fug Madness. (Next year should be interesting for her.) Like all of the women in this bracket, Chloe’s hair and face has looked GREAT lately — her glam squad is GOOD — but then from the neck down, it’s often like ??????

For example:

75th Venice Film Festival, Arrivals, Day 5, Italy - 01 Sep 2018

Those pants are SO CUTE until you get to the fluffy cuffs? And this is okay…until you realize that it looks like she’s got a third leg with an unquenchable love of florals trying to escape from her skirt:

75th Venice Film Festival, Arrivals, Day 6, Italy - 02 Sep 2018

Chloe also risked her share of the sheers, don’t worry. DO NOT become concerned that possibly someone in Fug Madness went a whole year without wearing something unaccountably see-through:

Special Screening of The Miseducation of Cameron Post

Sigh. Those sleeves are dumb.

Speaking of stuff that I think is dumb, we’ve got this look, which is SUCH a terrible print and which almost everyone wore (made the more egregious by the fact that her head looks extra great here):

'The Misseducation of Cameron Post' screening, Outfest LA, Los Angeles, USA - 22 Jul 2018

This caused me to make such a face that I might need to send her my bill for my Botox:

TimesTalks with Chloe Grace Moretz, New York, USA - 30 Jul 2018

Finally, I also am rendered somewhat speechless by THIS thing that happened to her:

Beijing International Film Festival opening, China - 15 Apr 2018

How can a dress make your head look small????? Discuss amongst yourselves. Vote first, though.
