Oscar Fug Or Fab Carpet: Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow

This was a divisive dress -- lots of tweeters on Sunday thought Gwyneth should never take it off, while others found it sort of unflattering. I fell into the first camp; since I generally am not a huge Gwyneth fan, I often look to Jess -- who is -- to average me out,

Oscars Fug/CRAZY Party: Madonna

View the gallery WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? Madonna. Dude. We know. You are lately feeling somewhat irrelevant -- what with Lady Gaga and all. But you don't one-up someone who shows up places in AN EGG by going out wearing one of Britney's cast-offs. SERIOUSLY.

Oscars HBC Carpet: She Who Need Not Be Named

Helena Bonham Carter

View the gallery If you haven't seen this Vulture piece on all the glorious things Helena Bonham Carter has brought to this awards season, you must -- especially the video of her BAFTA acceptance speech, which includes a reference to the activities of her underskirt. Watch that and then

The BRIT Awards Fug: Rihanna

Rihanna

View the gallery Between yesterday's Rihanna slideshow and this one, it may seem like GFY is suddenly the Rihanna Channel. Not our intention. The girl just keeps going outside. She is relentless. Or just restless. Either way, she is replete with the joys of sartorial wackitude. This dress

BAFTAs Fug Carpet: Meredith Ostrom

Well, this is subtle: Meredith Ostrom here has been in a bunch of random things -- Wikipedia claims she's mostly a painter, but Wikipedia also claims that "The topic of this article may not meet the notability guideline for biographies." My feeling is that her dress does

Thandie Newton

View the gallery Sorry, BAFTAs. Between Fashion Week, the Grammys, and you, something was going to get the shaft, and unfortunately it was y'all. We need to move forward and not spend all of next week's pre-Oscar days posting on an awards ceremony that'

Grammy Awards Fug Carpet: Eva Longoria

Regular readers of this website are well aware that I am a huge fan of the neck ruffle: And yet even I, Jessica Morgan: Neck Ruffle Enthusiast, can not sign off on this one. She looks as though she's hung a giant scrunchie around her neck, like her

BAFTAs Fug or Fab Carpet: Julianne Moore

Overall, I really like this dress on Julianne. But the the bow on the back of the dress interferes -- in photos, anyway -- with the lines of the front.  I think in person it probably looked normal, because the eye could distinguish between Dress and Back Bow, but in a flat

BAFTAs Fug Carpet: Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence

View the gallery Objectively, this dress is pretty. Practically, it is like two inches or so too short for Jennifer Lawrence's torso. Some poor schmo had to have been so stressed out all night just trying to keep those things out of play. Although actually, as you'

Grammy Awards Fug Carpet: Ricky Martin

Grammy Awards Fug Carpet: Ricky Martin

I have to admit that it just seems right for Ricky Martin to be back at the Grammys. Remember that year he performed La Copa de la Vida, and everyone just collectively lost their shit? (Including me: that performance was insane. Also, back in the times before we'd

Grammys Well Played Hair: Matthew Morrison

Dear Mr. Schuster's hair, You are famous for, in Sue Sylvester's words, looking like you were styled with a bucket of lard, being a home to Keebler elves, and/or resembling a briar patch, among other insults. So this was a fun change: You're
