###### *Jump to the polls*: [*(1) Bella Hadid v. (9) Ciara*](#bella) *·* [*(5) Ellie Goulding v. (4) Julianne Hough*](#ellie)

---

**(1) Bella Hadid v. (9) Ciara**

Get ready for two very pretty women with crazy-ass wardrobes. I feel like I could say, "her head looks great here, but" about like 92% of all of these looks:

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/BFA_27907_3535939-1557255828-1584655408-640x960-1584998517.jpg "The Mark Hotel : 2019 Met Gala")

Also, just so you know, Bella had a VARIETY of different hair colors this eligibility period. Different hair colors and a very distressing travel outfit. This look only makes sense if you're going to step aerobics:

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/GettyImages-1164224781-1584655418-640x960-1584998562.jpg "Celebrity Sightings In New York City - July 25, 2019")

Weirdly, it's like the black socks that trouble me the most? (On a long list of troubling things.)

She also wore this basic outfit about sixty-five times this year. She is LOVING a napkin tied to her boobs with ribbons in this hellscape time:

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/GettyImages-1199919122-1579227672-640x938-1584654018-640x938-1584998611.jpg "Louis Vuitton : Photocall - Paris Fashion Week - Menswear F/W 2020-2021")

She also wore t[his weird cropped denim jacket held together with safety pins](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/bella-hadid-is-up-to-no-good-again-01-2020/) (intentionally), and [this bra as a top](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/nyfw-september-2019-front-rows-part-two/rihannas-2nd-annual-savage-x-fenty-show-during-nyfw-2?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

This is likewise confusing:

What did I say about the cropped halter? BEHOLD:

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/wenn36896636-1566878720-1584654427-640x960-1584998678.jpg "2019 MTV VMAs")

I believe this is her costume for the model-fronted remake of *Blade:*

From leather...to denim:

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/shutterstock_10216559a-1556034955-1584654032-640x949-1584998744.jpg "Gigi Hadid Birthday Party, New York, USA - 22 Apr 2019")

A lot of it. All of it. All of the denim!!!

I have to admit, in these dark days, that I hate this corny shirt:

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/shutterstock_editorial_10415707ae-1568781629-1584998782.jpg "Love Magazine Party, Arrivals, Spring Summer 2020, London Fashion Week, UK - 16 Sep 2019")

This is a mere taste of her shenanigans! We've also got this [*other* ALL LEATHER EXPERIENCE](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/variety-power-of-women-3/varietys-power-of-women-presented-by-lifetime-arrivals-cipriani-42nd-st-new-york-usa-05-apr-2019-3?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), this outfit that [might actually be a Ghostbusters costume](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/couture-front-rows-2020/louis-vuitton-show-arrivals-autumn-winter-2020-paris-fashion-week-mens-france-16-jan-2020?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and [these knee feathers](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/cfda-gowns/2019-cfda-fashion-awards-9?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

Ciara's face also looks great in all of these, and she does NOT wear a corny shirt, at least. She DOES wear HUGE pants, though:

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/6b989d39759-1557703280-1584999492.jpg "Ciara Wears All Black at YouTube")

They're like curtains. Curtain pants. Curtants? Pantains? We'll work on that.

I need a week or two to come up with the word for this top-train-ruffle situation:

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/aee851794a2-1556854109-640x840-1584659867-640x840-1584999583.jpg "Dear Mama VH1 Gala")

Ciara really IS all about curtains repurposed as clothing at the moment, isn't she?

This is like the cutest formal bathing suit cover-up:

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/Ciaer1-1584674094-640x960-1584999613.jpg "2019 CFDA Fashion Awards")

And this makes me laugh. Is it a shout-out to Russell Wilson's football gear?

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/shutterstock_editorial_10550234bt-1581051678-1584660432-640x960-1584999732.jpg "Bvlgari x B.Zero1 Rock Collection debut party, Fall Winter 2020, New York Fashion Week, USA - 06 Feb 2020")

Hey, remember what I said about curtains? Here's one repurposed as a TRAIN:

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/shutterstock_10300409k-1560239312-1584659881-640x962-1585000168.jpg "23rd Annual Ace Awards, Arrivals, New York, USA - 10 Jun 2019")

Speaking of repurposing, here's a necklace as a shirt:

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/shutterstock_editorial_10482220bu-1574645971-1584659906-640x962-1585000283.jpg "47th Annual American Music Awards, Arrivals, Microsoft Theater, Los Angeles, USA - 24 Nov 2019")

And yet another curtain, this time a VERY sheer one over a bathing suit:

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/shutterstock_editorial_10551049av-1581388947-1584659921-640x960-1585000608.jpg "Vanity Fair Oscar Party, Arrivals, Fashion Highlights, Los Angeles, USA - 09 Feb 2020")

This seems like something she wore a green-screen-required video game shot:

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/GettyImages-1172656132-1584683135-640x959-1585000954.jpg "Harlem Fashion Row")

I WOULD buy a Sims expansion pack that let me play as Ciara, I'm not going to lie.

But that's not all! She also wore [these VERY on-theme boots](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/2020-super-bowl-parties/rolling-stone-super-bowl-liv-party-sls-south-beach-arrivals-miami-usa-01-feb-2020-7?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), ALL[ this leather](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/amas-show/47th-annual-american-music-awards-show-microsoft-theater-los-angeles-usa-24-nov-2019-4?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and [this....top](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/amas-show/2019-american-music-awards-roaming-show-and-backstage-9?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)? And [ALL this leopard.](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/amas-show/47th-annual-american-music-awards-show-microsoft-theater-los-angeles-usa-24-nov-2019-4?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

**(5) Ellie Goulding v. (5) Julianne Hough**

Now that I've seen these snaps together, I feel like Ellie and Julianne COULD star as sisters in some upcoming musical, although I don't know if Ellie can act. (I have my doubts about Julianne's wardrobe, but she WAS very charming in the *Rock of Ages* movie.)

Something about this dress looks like the cocktail version of those whimsical aprons that look like a bikini body

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/3c3cf0d2713-1561441500-640x960-1584656526-640x960-1585001302.jpg "Julianne Hough Leaving Dinner at Raul`s")

This is great if you're in an Esther Williams movie, but she is NOT. Although that cardigan is legit very good:

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/d815f8ac8f1-1556760102-1584656546-640x960-1585001338.jpg "2019 Billboard Music Awards")

Is this TRACK PANTS and a tube top of feathers? This feels like Wardrobe By Mad Libs:

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/ea91971bd3b-1567571259-1585001402.jpg "America’s Got Talent Live Show Screening")

This definitely looks contagious:

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/GettyImages-1169969577-1584656586-640x863-1585001475.jpg "2019 iHeartRadio Music Festival And Daytime Stage")

Honestly, this might ALSO be contagious:

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/shutterstock_10236086ag-1557770087-1584656560-640x1029-1585001530.jpg "NBC 2019/20 Upfront, New York, USA - 13 May 2019")

Is "contagious" the theme of her wardrobe right now? I guess it's....timely???

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/shutterstock_10362253cl-1565913497-640x909-1585003009.jpg "Industry Dance Awards &amp; Cancer Benefit Show, Arrivals, Avalon Hollywood &amp; Bardot, Los Angeles, USA - 14 Aug 2019")

I feel like three or four other people in this Fug Madness have already worn this. Maybe they'll meet up eventually!

Over to Ellie:

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/10414618b-1568608328-640x985-1584656540-640x985-1585004012.jpg "Bulgari Serpenti Seduttori Party, Arrivals, Spring Summer 2020, London Fashion Week, UK - 15 Sep 2019")

I am so used to saying, "pick a sleeve," but I guess this is time for PICK A LEG.

Check out these massive sleeves. Even Anne Shirley is like, "dial it down, sister."

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/GettyImages-1144715502-1584658770-640x1040-1585004681.jpg "Vanity Fair Cannes Party 2019")

These are ALSO gigantic sleeves...among everything else:

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/GettyImages-1148877539-1584656604-640x960-1585004748.jpg "Capital Radio Summertime Ball 2019")

Talk about getting dressed via MadLib. That is a hot, convoluted mess.

Although honestly so is this:

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/shutterstock_editorial_10489774dz-1575336749-1584656567-640x961-1585006295.jpg "The Fashion Awards, Arrivals, Royal Albert Hall, London, UK - 02 Dec 2019")

I am beginning to think Ellie should have been seeded higher:

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/shutterstock_editorial_10494361b-1575866298-1585006380.jpg "2019 Variety's Hitmakers Brunch, West Hollywood, USA - 07 Dec 2019")

And I predict this vote will be tight. Before you get to it, [make sure you look at Julianne's archives](https://www.gofugyourself.com/celebs/julianne-hough?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and [Ellie's as well](https://www.gofugyourself.com/celebs/ellie-goulding?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).
