Malin Akerman

For me, the white dress is potentially so cute that I don't understand why the eclipse needed to happen. Don't smoosh two dresses together when one of them is completely fine on its own.

This is making me reach for my SPF. I really, really want to lop off the sleeves and scrape back her hair (maybe), and then see where that leaves us. But it might not leave us anywhere but a rest stop on the road to someplace else -- the bodice of this dress seems a tad baggy in a bunch of weird places.

At least she didn't try it backwards.

Well, look, if you're going to get a belted jumpsuit past us, furry shoulders and a studded bag are probably the way to make it happen.

Part of me digs this, and part of me thinks I made this when I was eight and really into folding napkins when we had dinner parties.

And the shoes, in close-up, are more crackballs than from far away. They're a smart choice with the dress -- both have an aura of being a craft project -- but they're also sort of a chintzy-looking intersection of fashion and geometry. They are a bit like her style: I get where it's going, I don't hate all of it, but in the end it leaves me cold and kind of wishing we could just restart her like a PC and install some updates (and then probably restart again, because who are we kidding), and see if it runs smoother next time.

Fugs or Fabs: Malin Akerman
Ms. Akerman has a checkered fug history -- really, really cute, sunny girl, with a great figure, but often strange ways of showing off both those things. Points for trying, but then again, the Washington Generals get points for trying, too, and that hasn't yielded a very impressive win-loss record. Not that I'm saying Malin Akerman is the red carpet's answer to the Washington Generals. That feels like Jessica Chastain, to me, right now (so close, but not quite enough, despite one or two surprise and exciting victories). Anyway, let's cut the basketball digressions and weird-ass analogies and just get to the outfits. It's Oscar week soon. Let's save our strength. [poll id="6262"] [Photos: Getty]
