Billboard Music Awards Fug Carpet: Kerli

Billboard Music Awards Fug Carpet: Kerli

The Estonian pop singer Kerli has created a label for herself called BubbleGoth, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. To that I say: Nice try. You can call it what you want, child, but we already have a Robyn, and a Minaj, and a Jessie J, and

Billboard Music Awards Fug or Fab: Taylor Swift

Billboard Music Awards Fug or Fab: Taylor Swift

Well, the makeover seems to be taking: If this were last year, she'd likely have been in something gold and sparkly, with a gentle milkmaid updo. The drama of this is deeply appreciated, then, but one question remains: Is the bodice cool, or does it photograph too... veiny?

Billboard Music Awards Fug or Fab: Carrie Underwood

This photo reminds me of that time Steve Sanders grudgingly took Donna Martin to a dance, and she wore a giant red dress with a hoop skirt and needed constant wrangling all night because she couldn't sit or stand without help: Mike Fisher is doing a better job

Billboard Music Awards Fug Carpet: Miley Cyrus

View the gallery This is certainly not the worst Miley has looked -- I think we all know from embarrassingly many years of Cyrus-spotting that she has come leaps and bounds in this regard -- but at the end of the day, she's still just wearing a giant blazer

Met Ball YES Carpet: Bianca Brandolini D'Adda

This lady is an Italian socialite/model/girlfriend to the Fiat heir/daughter of a Count/descendant of an Empress.

Met Ball Well Played: Brooke Shields

Apparently, Brooke here tore her meniscus during a performance of The Addams Family, so she was stuck navigating the Met Ball -- and its massive staircase -- with a funked up leg and a cane. And she totally worked it. The dress is kind of like webbing, in both a cool and

Met Ball Fug or Fab: January Jones

I love things that are art deco. So why do I not love this? Indeed, much like the lady behind her, I am giving it the side-eye. Maybe it's that the turquoise necklace is totally wrong with the dress, or how the gown just kind of... sits

Met Ball Well Played: Lea Michele

View the gallery Maybe quitting Glee is giving me a renewed ability to appreciate Lea Michele, but this is great on her -- sexy, sleek, sparkly, and above all, she's not hiking it up to her wait to make sure she's getting maximum exposure. See, Lea? Sometimes

Met Ball Fugs and Fabs: Oranges

View the gallery Can I say again how much I love the Met Ball? Three green gowns, three yellow ones (that I remember), and five -- five! -- orange ones. Even Kristen Wiig got on the color wheel, y'all! Hollywood, why are you so BORING the rest of the year?
