Oscars Runway vs Reality: Lily Collins

Oscars Runway vs Reality: Lily Collins

This almost never happens: One of the dresses we flagged from Fashion Week as red-carpet bait did indeed already pop up on the big stage. In this case, it's a Monique Lhuillier; the runway version was in red, with different detailing, a changed neck, and more tulle.

Oscars Fug Carpet: Anika Noni Rose

During the red carpet shenanigans on E! Sunday afternoon, one of our esteemed and hilarious Fug Nationals tweeted that Giuliana looked like an "intergalactic space bride." (Fug National in question, announce yourself in the comments!) This was both apt, and hilarious, and I have good news. We'

Oscars Fug Carpet: January Jones

Another interesting idea derailed by execution. The top is a pretty color twisted into a hostage drama -- complete with the tiny window that the assailant peeks out of when trying to assess the threat level from law enforcement -- and the bottom was last deployed a pimp's living room

Oscars Fug Carpet: Emma Stone

You know we love Emma Stone. And we normally enjoy Emma Stone wears. I mean, almost no one liked her McQueen from the SAGs but me.  But I seriously think I like her post-party dress less than I liked her awards dress: I'm beginning to worry that

Oscars Smartly Played, Katie Holmes

Oscars Smartly Played, Katie Holmes

Much like how Angelina's sudden and relentless game of Pop Goes The Thigh will always make me laugh (seriously, that was SO over the top that she HAS to have lost, or won, a bet, right?) so too will Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes always seem crazy to

Oscars Fug Carpet: Elizabeth Banks

I want to like this. I really do! But it looks like someone was in the middle of plucking her, but got distracted and wandered off.  I guess when faced with the choice to go to the event half-plucked, or to go pluck herself, she chose the less labor-

Oscars Fug Carpet: Claire Danes

Claire, listen. I love you. You are one of the several actresses who has won me over via the power of one amazing television performance (see also Sevigny, Chloe). And I thought you looked amazballs at the Globes. HOWEVER: But this feels perilously close to appearing in a Lifetime reboot

Oscar Fug Carpet: Miley Cyrus

View the gallery With Miley, I always feel like the angel of doom -- the frequent bearer of bad news, wherein I attempt to cushion yet another in a string of blows by focusing on the positive first. Like, I'm still loving the haircut. Liam Hemsworth is still making

Oscars Fug or Fab Carpet: Glenn Close

Okay, I know People Are Divided about this dress, but look at her expression! Irrepressible! As far as the dress goes, I like it. I think it's age appropriate and elegant on her. Classy. A good color. It fits. It's well-constructed. I'm considering

Oscars Fug Carpet: Maria Sharapova

Oscars Fug Carpet: Maria Sharapova

We saw Maria Sharapova at Vera Wang's show in New York, so once I saw this, I was all set with a comment about how Vera designs a lot of figure-skating costumes, and perhaps Maria is planning to trade tennis serves for triple salchows, and this is

Oscars Well Played: Ellie Kemper

Oscars Well Played: Ellie Kemper

I was non-committal on Ellie on Sunday night: But now that I've had some time to digest it, I think this look is totally charming, and she looks adorable. Even the back is great: See? Adorable! Like I just said! I do have one nagging question though.
