Fug or Fab: Jessica Chastain in Zac Posen
View the gallery So, Jessica Chastain is about to hit it big, potentially -- I'd never heard of her, but suddenly here she is, with The Help coming in 2011 alongside The Tree of Life and a two other projects, and two other biggies for 2012, including one by
View GalleryMet Ball Fug or Fab: Nicole Richie
Remember when she was driving the wrong way on the freeway and we all thought she and Paris were eventually going to be cellmates? I'm glad it didn't work out that way. Even if she DOES appear to be wearing a sleeve that....is also an

It's not even that I think this is 100 percent awful. But... does it look a bit like she's urinating tulle? Because now that I've seen that, I can't go back.

Oh, dude: First and foremost, I do have to say that I love how EXCITED and cute Narciso Rodriguez is in this picture. The last few times Heather and I have been to his shows, Julianna here has been ABSENT and instead of just assuming that was because she was
Read moreMet Ball Surprisingly Well Played: Ciara and Ashley Greene
Ciara is not someone on whom I generally rely for restraint. Needless to say, this shocked the pants off me. Had I been holding a sandwich -- and in retrospect, why on Earth wasn't I? -- it would've clattered out of my hand (so, good thing I wasn&

I don't know, you guys. I kind of love Amy Poehler here: I mean, I love Amy Poehler in general -- Parks and Rec is on A ROLL right now, even if I always accidentally type it as Pacs and Reck, because I am an idiot -- but for me,
Read moreMet Ball Fug or Fab: Amy Adams
This gown is gorgeous. And she looks gorgeous in it, from the neck down; something about the styling of Amy's head is giving me pause. I think it's the hair. Is that a braid in the front there, or just a wave? I'm not
Read moreMet Ball Well Played, Hayley Atwell
I've decided I really like Hayley Atwell. I don't know why. Maybe because she has a pretty accent, or because she's friends with Emma Thompson, or because she wore this simple but groovy orange dress with leather panels on the side, or because she&

Other than turning Fab into a creepy footless wonder, I don't find this nearly as batshit as most of what La Beracasa wears. But it's so strange at the Met Ball to look like you just popped 'round after your day job running some rich

Kerry Washington looked pretty at the Met Gala: Unsurprising, perhaps. Not very dramatic. Nowhere near crazy. A little bit "Come down to my place in Palm Springs this weekend for a key party, which will prove to be slightly unpleasant and awkward and anachronistic." But essentially pretty. And

It's kind of fun to see someone wearing rich brown -- doesn't happen that often, I guess maybe because if you are a celebrity you don't want OTHER celebrities running up to you and trying to swipe a marshmallow through your skirt because they think
Read moreMet Ball Well Played, Rosario Dawson
I might be getting tapped out on the Met Ball, to the point where I need to communicate solely in one word ejaculations. SHINY! SPARKLES! SEXY! In all seriousness, though, I like this -- it's not very DRAMATIC in the way that everything else at the Met Gala is
Read moreMet Ball Who Fugged It More (Or Less): Michelle Monaghan vs Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Well, the good news is, Michelle Monaghan appears to be working the bangs and makeup much better. And the cotton candy gown is an interesting choice -- I actually sort of like it, except that I can't tell what the fabric is, which makes me concerned it's

I would expect nothing less from Fug Favorite Solange: There are like ninety different fabrics happening on this dress -- including sequins! -- giving it the overall aura of being patched together with the bits and pieces that you'd find at the bottom of your wrapping paper barrel. Regardless, I
