Fug Girls: The Good, Bad, and Just Plain Crazy Looks From the Met Ball Red Carpet

In terms of the clothing, the Met Gala is what the Golden Globes used to be: unbridled. We haven’t seen the equal to Björk’s swan dress now that stylists rule Hollywood’s red-carpet roost, but on fashion’s biggest, ballsiest night, that feathered confection would be right at home — if only

The Fug Girls Live-Blog the 2012 Costume Institute Gala Red Carpet

We’ve heard the Met Ball referred to as the Fashion Oscars, and while it’s true that both boast a red carpet crammed with beautiful people in dramatic gowns, tonight’s gala, live-streamed for the first time on Vogue’s website, might be a bigger deal for its guests: The designers are showing

The Fug Girls Chart Zooey Deschanel’s Adorkability Evolution

In just one short TV season, New Girl’s Zooey Deschanel has gone from a ukulele-strumming indie princess — of rock and film — to an omnipresent poster child for a new yet immediately overused word: adorkability. But beneath that grating made-up mash-up term lurks pretty clever branding for the hipster

The Fug Girls: Best and Worst Dressed at the ACM Awards

The Academy of Country Music Awards (ACMs), which took place last night, is the first of the approximately 65 acronymed trophy ceremonies the genre brings to us annually. As such, we wondered if they are the Golden Globes of Nashville — specifically, whether everyone hauls out their unfettered, Western-wacky-best for

The Fug Girls Track the Fashion Evolution of Mad Men Daughter Kiernan Shipka

When Mad Men finally returned last week, the character we most wanted to check in with was Don Draper’s daughter, Sally, played with remarkable depth by Kiernan Shipka. Sure, Don’s secretary-bride and Betty’s chilly misery were on our minds, too, but Sally is the one bearing the brunt of their

The Fug Girls on the Project Runway All Stars Finale

The last time we fêted the finale of a Project Runway season, we noted that we had our Team Mondo shirts all pressed and ready to go in preparation for the All Stars episodes. Apparently, so did the judges because Mondo finally won the war. Pull up your Doritos and

The Fug Girls Predict the Project Runway All Stars Winner

Project Runway All Stars has taught us so much: that Joanna Coles is awesome and wise, that Georgina Chapman gives a lot of intelligent advice that she might be well-served to take herself, and that almost everyone still thinks Kenley is annoying. Thanks to last week’s excellent penultimate episode, the

Fug Girls: The Best and Worst Outfits at the 2012 Oscars

Another awards season down, and just like our youth, it went by too quickly, we didn’t really appreciate it, and we’ll never get it back. So let’s try to hang onto the glory days just a little bit longer by taking a look at the most notable outfits from Sunday night’s Oscar telecast — which may also help wash away memories of the broadcast itself. Any show in which Cirque du Soleil got more screen time than half the winners is a confused enterprise at best. Click through to see our picks for the highs and lows of the red carpet, and then visit Vulture’s complete red carpet gallery to see everything in between.

Fug Girls: A Fall 2012 New York Fashion Week Superlatives Wrap Up

Fashion Week always goes by more quickly than anticipated. One Thursday, you’re thinking, “I can’t believe I’m going to see Angela Simmons approximately 35 more times this week,” and the next Thursday, you’re thinking, “Where did the time go, Angela Simmons?” Turns out, it flies when you’re living at Lincoln Center, although we love every second of it. Before we sleep off the season’s joys, though, let’s take a look at some of the week’s highlights and lowlights. (For more Fug Girls, go here.)
