**(1) NICKI MINAJ vs. (9) JAIME KING**

I don't really think this is fugly. I actually think it's really sort of charming. I just couldn't resist sharing:

[![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2012/03/128805418_10.jpg "Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic Los Angeles - Inside")](https://gofugyourself.com/fug-madness-round-two-madonna-bracket-part-ii-03-2012/veuve-clicquot-polo-classic-los-angeles-inside?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

There's a reason she was a model. I feel like this could be the cover of a charming and quirky chick lit book about a relatable Manic Pixie Dream Girl who has one crazy summer in the Hamptons that ends with her running away to London with a boy she thinks is a penniless guitar player but who actually turns out to be the Duke of Flargingwad.

But enough about that. Let's talk about OUTFITS:

[![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2012/03/139236892_10.jpg "Marni At H&M Collection Launch - Red Carpet")](https://gofugyourself.com/fug-madness-round-two-madonna-bracket-part-ii-03-2012/marni-at-hm-collection-launch-red-carpet-2?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Is this technically Dress Over Pants? It's CERTAINLY technically a scrolldown fug, and DEFINITELY looks like she lost a bet. Without the pants, this would be adorable. WITH pants, she looks like it's laundry day in the arctic.

I made the executive decision for this particular match-up to only use the clothes Nicki wore for events, rather than including [some of her performance outfits, although they are delicious](https://gofugyourself.com/celebs/nicki-minaj?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), (and [possibly sacrilegious](https://gofugyourself.com/grammy-awards-wtf-nicky-minaj-02-2012?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)) and [they should definitely not be ignored](https://gofugyourself.com/vmas-fug-carpet-nicki-minaj-08-2011?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Just in the interest of mixing it up. It's not like her red carpet ensembles are boring, after all. This is BRIGHT:

(I do covet the shoes.)

Jaime wore this to a CW party -- as you can tell by the themed throw pillow -- and, yes, her cardigan/cape (capigan?) is this artfully askew in every single one of the pictures:

In comparison to, say,[ that time Nicki was possessed by the devil](https://gofugyourself.com/grammy-awards-wtf-nicky-minaj-02-2012?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), this -- which was at the Grammy nominee event -- seems demure and relaxed. Low key. Extremely pastel:

But never fear. Nicki can still bust out the crazy even when she's not performing. This is spectacular:

I love that the color of her wig blends into the backdrop so well that it ALMOST appears that she has a palm tree growing out of her head. I also love that the idea of her going out with a palm tree on her head doesn't seem that weird.

Speaking of weird:

Will the Sheer Skirt Shower Curtain Trend never die? Also embraced by Jaime King were such [painful trends as The Half-Back Dust Ruffle](https://gofugyourself.com/fug-or-fab-me-home-tonight-03-2011/premiere-of-relativity-medias-take-me-home-tonight-arrivals-2?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), the [Consumptive Face/Heidi braid](https://gofugyourself.com/golden-globes-fug-carpet-jaime-king-01-2012/13th-annual-warner-bros-and-instyle-golden-globe-awards-after-party-arrivals-9?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), the [Lace Nightgown](https://gofugyourself.com/fug-of-dixie-08-2011?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and, most frightening of all, [The 90s](https://gofugyourself.com/pearl-fugbor-05-2011?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

**(4) SARAH JESSICA PARKER vs. (12) SHENAE GRIMES**

I sincerely love this picture:

Her expression is like, "wow, I suddenly am seriously regretting these shorts." If only [she'd regretted THESE shorts](https://gofugyourself.com/fug021fug-2-07-2011/swim-miami-day-three-3-170711?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Or [THESE shorts](https://gofugyourself.com/fug021fug-2-07-2011/the-cinema-society-and-bing-present-a-screening-of-the-hangover-part-ii-in-nyc?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Or t[his top (although that picture is hilarious](https://gofugyourself.com/na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-fug-fug-12-2011/shenae-grimes-parties-down-at-her-art-show-travelers-in-miami-beach?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)). Or these [jeans that are about to disintegrate into shorts](https://gofugyourself.com/9fug210-2-03-2011?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

Also regrettable is this vest:

It's Full-Zbornak, and not in the good I'm Going To Give You a Piece of My Mind way. Although I guess *I* just gave her a piece of my mind. We're all Zbornaks here. And while I'm Zbornaking you, SJP: this [looks moldy](https://gofugyourself.com/fug-and-the-city-4-12-2011?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io); this [is giving me a seizure](https://gofugyourself.com/i-dont-know-how-she-fugs-it-4-11-2011?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io); this is [a straight-up doily](https://gofugyourself.com/i-dont-know-how-she-fugs-it-3-09-2011?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io); this[ is a nightgown](https://gofugyourself.com/fug-and-the-citfug-10-2011?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), [THIS IS A CAPE](https://gofugyourself.com/i-dont-know-how-she-fugs-it-08-2011?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and [this is easily the funniest hair we've featured on here in many a moon](https://gofugyourself.com/fug-or-fab-sarah-jessica-parker-2-05-2011?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

SJP seems to be giving Elizabeth Hurley some of her own mind here, at least:

I like to imagine that she's saying, "Your headgear upstages me again, Hurley, and it's curtains for you. CURTAINS."

But who could upstage this?

I like to think she's telling everyone to raise the roof for that intense and insane hat.

I would like to take these pants from Shenae and throw them OFF a roof, hopefully into a raging bonfire:

I would also speak ill of her mini-caftan, but I feel uncomfortable doing so now that I've Mentioned the Zbornak. So I will present this to you without comment:

So.....
