BRIT Awards Fug Carpet: Rita Ora

BRIT Awards Fug Carpet: Rita Ora

Now that I've seen Rita interviewed a couple times -- she seems like a lot of fun, but in a sprightly way, not an "and then I woke up wearing a throw-pillow on my head and my mouth tasted like dead bugs and why is there ONE

BRIT Awards Fug Carpet: Ellie Goulding

Well, thank goodness it's not sheer, AT LAST. Was there an intervention? But this dress is not happening on her. The bodice, as with a lot of Westwood gowns, is nice and well-formed and hugging her shape really nicely. I hate that it extends into a pseudo-

BRIT Awards Fug Carpet: Jessie J

BRIT Awards Fug Carpet: Jessie J

We've seen Jessie J in catsuits. We saw it for years. We winced and we cringed and we said, "Why is she doing that to her kick-ass body?" And then she stopped wearing them as much, and that felt right, because really, what could she

BRIT Awards: Performance Fugs and Fabs

View the gallery This see-through, black, slinky Beyonce dress from the Super Bowl wasn't in our subscription, so I've basically been waiting for an excuse to talk about it: She wore it fresh off the similarly nude white lacy Michael Costello from the Grammys, and

BAFTAs Fugs and Fabs: The Lightbox Purge

View the gallery Behold, everyone else! Lots of celebs skipped this event -- no Jennifer Lawrence (she's filming Mockingjay), no Julia Roberts (for obvious family reasons), no Sandra Bullock (don't know why) -- but there's still plenty to ogle. [Photos: WENN]

Okay, nobody is wearing bracelets anymore, apparently. Is there a devastating bangle shortage in Hollywood? Do we need to throw a benefit concert at which The Bangles will play, bewailing the near-extinct wrist jewelry and the cruel anti-arm movement that has extinguished it? Will they sing "Walk

The Downton ladies do love their Erdem. And with good reason. Despite the fact that it anagrams to merde, that is perfect on her. It NABs (technically that should be just NAB, because it'd just be "Needs A Bracelet," but I've decided that with

BAFTAs Fug Carpet: Imogen Poots

Let's award points for the color. I am then going to retract said points for the torso triangle, the bandaged effect around it, and all the little fangs hanging off her waistband -- perhaps they are icicles, in an ode to the polar vortex -- as well as for the

BAFTAs Fug Carpet: Alicia Vikander

BAFTAs Fug Carpet: Alicia Vikander

This one is from the Chanel show that Karl Lagerfeld did in Dallas, and I've decided he's punking us with it. It feels more like a vaguely Southwestern screen-saver that someone put out in 1999, to try and combat the appealing hilarity of Flying Toasters.

BAFTAs Well Played: Naomie Harris

BAFTAs Well Played: Naomie Harris

Before you ask, it does not appear that Idris Elba was at this event, which is obviously a brutal tragedy for anyone with eyes. However, Naomie Harris's dress was pretty easy on them: The color story here -- wow, can you tell we were just at Fashion Week? I

BAFTAs Fug or Fab: Gillian Anderson

View the gallery She got out a lot this weekend for the BAFTAs. The first dress is vintage Balmain and I've sat with it for a while now and I've decided that the dress is interesting, but needs careful styling and the right woman to wear

BAFTAs Fug or Fun: Lily Allen

BAFTAs Fug or Fun: Lily Allen

I have no idea why Lily Allen is at the BAFTAs, but I'm glad she's back out and about, and this dress really says, "I AM OUT AND ABOUT:" She looks like a Valentine come to life. It's totally over-the-top,

Well Played, Olga Kurylenko

My favorite look from last year's BAFTAs was Burberry, and so is this very nifty one: It's slithery and serpentine and sexy and fabulous, and I wish it were in my life. If I can't wear the dress, I could at least tile my

BAFTAs Well Played: Oprah

BAFTAs Well Played: Oprah

I LOVE this picture: First of all, I always love her hair like this. Second, I appreciate that she's giving the photo pit some props -- at least, it looks like she's saying, "no, no, event photographers, it is you who are really working it. YOU.
