New York Fugshion Week: Days Six and Seven

You know, it looks like we might get out of this city without an arctic blast, after all. We were afraid to hope.

This woman is afraid of nothing.

I would be afraid, for instance, of: Diet Coke, marinara, city grime, potato chips, fruit, energy bars... pretty much anything. It takes a lot of guts to wear that much glaring white. Of course, it also takes guts to wear high-waisted jodhpur-like pants. With a belly shirt. I'm pretty sure they stuck poor Tiffani Thiessen in stuff like this both on Saved By The Bell AND on Beverly Hills, 90210, and so all Ali's really done here is a) look really dated, and b) remind us of an actress we like a whole lot more. Also, I can't figure out why Ali Larter wears so much white -- she does it with dresses, too, and it's not that flattering to her skin tone. I suspect this all began with Varsity Blues, when she wore that whipped-cream bikini and decided to make that her style inspiration for the rest of her life.

•Also, Ali Larter acted sort of rude at Calvin Klein.
•Poor Vincent Gallo -- no, really, we just said "poor Vincent Gallo" -- might've gotten quietly dissed by a little girl at Anna Sui.
•Thank God for Mariska Hargitay, or else we'd have had nothing to file from Vera Wang.
•We had a total fangirl geek-out moment at Cynthia Rowley... over Lindsay Price. Yeah, we know. But she was REALLY CUTE on 90210! Believe!
•Tommy Hilfiger's show brought us to our knees. For real.

Fug or Fab: Ali Larter

So, what do we think: elegantly unusual and romantic...

... or a somewhat overwrought, overstitched excuse to have a neck pillow stapled to her shoulder?

Final Fugstination

I am not an Ali Larter fan, as regular readers are aware. She is certainly very pretty, but I don't think she's nearly compelling enough on Heroes to justify their refusal to allow her character (in whatever iteration) to stay dead -- at least, for as long as I was watching, since I quit Heroes one and a half episodes into this season and have never been happier. I've also (a) personally witnessed her acting like an ass to a journalist at a press opportunity and (b) have literally never heard anything nice about her via ye old grapevine. Which is not to say that she ISN'T totally amazing as a person, but merely that perhaps her PR honchos ought to consider having her rescue a puppy from a burning building on the 405 at rush hour, just to get that balance of popular opinion back in working order. So, suffice it to say, it doesn't particularly pain me to direct your attention to this:

First off: last time I wrote about Ali Larter here, I noted that I had literally never heard anything nice about her. At which point my friend Jason IMed me and informed me that he had an encounter last year with her in which she was very nice indeed.

Is this MORE or LESS embarrassing than being in Obsessed?

And so now that I've set the record straight, I feel no guilt in pointing out that she looks totally cheesy in what appears to be a napkin plucked out of a champagne glass at a wedding. Cheers!

Fug The Cover: Lucky Magazine

I don't mind anything about what Ali Larter is wearing here. In fact, the styling is good. She makes me want that oufit; she looks cute, fresh-faced, fun...
... and as if somebody just took a tire iron to her knees after betting her ten grand she couldn't take it without screaming. On the plus side, by the looks of things she's ten grand richer. The minus? I keep expecting to see a cover line on ice packs, joint pain, and/or "Midol: Miracle or Myth?"

MILLA: Hey, Ali, congrats on the pregnancy!


ALI: Thank you! Don't I look fetching in my maternity sparkles?


MILLA: Deeply! And don't I look fetching in my shirt, with these leg-pants?


ALI: ... Yes. Actually, I was going to ask if I could borrow it.


MILLA: Borrow it? When?


ALI: For when I have the baby. It'd be the hottest birthing smock in town.


MILLA: Right? It's TOTALLY the polar opposite of what I wore the other night:Continue reading Fugident Evil.
