Points for resourcefulness, but then MASSIVE DEMERITS for such a cavalier attitude toward one's pubic secrets. ## Kerry Washington ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wenn21131122.xml) She seems to be enjoying the "I can wear any old thing I want because I'm pregnant and the bump will make it work for me" phase, which is one that I miss. I might fake being six months pregnant at all times. ## Kerry Washington ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/spl709550_015.xml) That purse is so very lovely. I thought we all needed some accessories in the mix today, and also, some of these photographers have REALLY come through with the closeups lately. Well played, y'all. ## Lupita Nyong'o in Giambattista Valli ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wenn21131088.xml) Okay: The matchy shoes are starting to bug me. I LOVE that she's thinking about it beyond black and white, but how GREAT would this have been with a colorful sandal? Or even those blue bumps she wore with the matching blue dress the other day. It's almost eerie how precise she is about this sometimes. Also, I'm sad that Planet Midriff locked a new life form into its orbit, but at least she looks nice in it. ## Lupita Nyong'o ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/spl709550_027.xml) A gem, a clutch, and some alphabet soup, for your pleasure. ## Angela Bassett ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wenn21131104.xml) She HAS to be wearing this backward, right? If she's not, she should have TRIED it, because WHY would anyone want a zipper that goes STRAIGHT down to the South Pole? Selective CAPS do not enCAPSulate how much I am VEXED by this. And the belt is not fooling anyone. It's not supposed to be there. None of this is. "Ohhhh, ANGELA," she says in her best Tony Danza impression. ## Nicole Beharie ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/spl709550_055.xml) I almost didn't recognize her outside of Abbie Mills' leather coats and athletic gear and short, straight hair. She looks great. Planet Midriff, sure, but she's in one of the better neighborhoods there. However... ## Nicole Beharie ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/spl709550_051.xml) ... the shoes alarm and confuse me. ## Chaka Khan ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wenn21131273.xml) Simple, effective, easy. She IS every woman, after all. ## Brandy ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wenn21131287.xml) If she hadn't worn stripper-size red furry Mary Janes, then there might have been a discussion here. Instead: concussion. ## Laila Ali ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wenn21131260.xml) Would that skirt have looked better with a shirt that tucks into it? ## Tamara Mowry in Victoria Beckham ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wenn21131248.xml) This is a hair tight on her, but I like it. Posh is the jam. ## Alfre Woodard ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wenn21131243.xml) It is a testament to her that she still looks totally dignified in that yard-sale jumble. ## Regina King ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wenn21131237.xml) It's not ideal, but it's A BAJILLION times better than [the mind-chewing pile of WHAAAAA](https://www.gofugyourself.com/naacp-image-awards-fugs-and-fabs-02-2014/45th-naacp-image-awards-presented-by-tv-one-arrivals?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) that she wore recently. ## Garcelle Beauvais ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wenn21131231.xml) I think this dress hates itself. And I'm not sure she's that pleased with it, either. ## Tatyana Ali ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wenn21131097.xml) I am not going to be swayed by the fact that her jumpsuit is smiling at me. I WILL NOT BE MOVED. [Fugs and Fabs: The ESSENCE LuncheonHow does one bump Lupita Nyong'o from the front of a slideshow?
