InawordFUG: Way Too Much Fabric Edition

As a person who wholeheartedly ascribes to the belief that too much is never enough, I can appreciate those fashion risktakers who strive to serve us fabulous looks that are dangerously over the top. These ladies, however, have taken it too far. Too much fabric-itis is spreading rapidly...don't let it happen to you!

Tyra Banks at the Daytime Emmys

Ty Ty,

I know that you've stomped couture catwalks all over the world in frothy confections just like this, but really darling, the Daytime Emmys? You would have been more appropriate in skinny jeans and a wife beater. Now don't get me wrong, the bronze color is gorgeous, but there is way, way, WAY too much fabric. The bottom of your frock resembles a tumor. That's all.

Marcia Gay Harden at the Tony Awards

Marcia Marcia Marcia,

Wow. I can see where you were going with this look, but you have officially crossed the the line between fashion forward and flamenco dancer. I look at you and I hear a Spanish guitar playing in the distance. Do away with those sleeves and approximately 57 of those necklaces...oh hell, just scrap the whole thing.

Love you like cooked food, Elle

Helena Bonham Carter at the Harry Potter premiere

Helena,

You look like a homeless mermaid. How is it that every drab piece of fabric in the world ended up on one dress, and you have it on? It's as if you got in a fight with your sewing machine and evil won. And the boots? Just one final slap in the face.

How dare you, Elle

SJP at the Valentino Exhibit, Rome, Italy

Dear dear SJP,

You are a fashion risktaker, this I know and love. It's only natural that every so often, those risks come back to bite you squarely in the arse. Getting to the point, it's your bolero: it's hideous and it appears to be swallowing you whole. If a strong wind comes, I'm afraid your a goner. By all means, burn it at once!

Thanks for your time, Elle

Remember ladies, sometimes less is more (but only sometimes).

Be forever fab,

Elle
