The Good:
Faustina "Fuzzy" Agolley is one of the few nods to the 21st century.


Rebecca Gibney brings the obligatory "lady in red" element necessary to any 80's-inflected do.


Antonia Kidman maintains the family rep for understated elegance.


Tracy Grimshaw's caftan is Psychic Hotline fab!


Annie Lennox's velvet is a little 30s bombshell, a little 80's priestess, a lot Diva.


Pippa Black brings just enough - or should I say, just little enough - 80's glam.


The Bad:
As Nadine Garner proves, catcher's chest guard plus Swan Lake costume, while bold, is a few sammies short of a picnic.


Oh noes! A moth has gotten to Lee Furlong's mini!


Kate Ritchie's 1986 priestess, while terrifying, is...terrifying.


Tasma Walton gives the lie to the old saw that throwing a transparent skirt over a mini is a quick fix. One could, in fact, call this notion "mad as a cut snake."


The Barbie!
Sonia Kruger: Ocean Carnival Barbie.


Margot Robbie: Halloween Glamour Barbie


Jennifer Hawkins: Peaches 'n Cream Barbie


Dannii Minogue: Grecian Goddess Barbie


Jessica McNamee: Sydney Princess Barbie


Kylie Gillies: Reagan Inaugural Barbie


Ruby Rose: Black Magic Barbie

<![CDATA[Ellen To Mariah: Admit It, You're Knocked Up]]>

  • Did Ellen DeGeneres try to trick Mariah Carey into admitting she's pregnant? Mariah was a guest on Ellen's show, and after Ellen asked and got a vague response, she busted out the champagne, saying, "You don't have to answer that. Let's just toast with champagne." Mariah got flustered and said, "I can't believe you did this to me, Ellen," and pretended to sip the bubbly. Knocked up? [Yahoo News via E!]
  • Someone's not pregnant: Sarah Jessica Parker in the Sex And The City sequel. Carrie won't be having a kid. "It doesn't seem as if that's going to be a choice she'll make… Michael (Patrick King, director) and I never talk about it. That doesn't mean that won't be part of the story. We just haven't figured it out. It feels a little bit manipulative to toss that into the mix, because she seems so pointed in a different direction." [Daily Express]

You can’t really know until you're under that kind of pressure.

<![CDATA[The Fashions At Flawless Were Anything But]]> Last night in New York, Demi Moore, left, hosted a special screening of her latest movie, Flawless, in which she co-stars with Michael Caine as an executive so disgruntled over glass ceilings that she agrees to screw over her employer and steal some diamonds. And although the plot of the film seems somewhat flimsy, Moore turned up to the screening looking well, flawless, if you ask me. Too bad the others in attendance — Vogue's Andre Leon Talley, Harper's Bazaar's Glenda Bailey, Project Runway's Christian Siriano, Donna Karan and Debbie Harry — didn't follow suit! The full Good, Bad, and Ugly of the Flawless screening, after the jump.

The Good:
brucetallulah.jpgWith little daughter Tallulah on his arm, Bruce Willis' actual date Emma Hemming is totally forgettable.
irina.jpgIrina Pantaeva has still got it.
russellsimmons.jpgGood for Russell Simmons: The hat is nice and Porschia Coleman seems a lot less heinous than Kimora.


The Bad:
anikanonirose.jpgWhy is Anika Noni Rose not dressed for the red carpet?
andreleontalley.jpgNow surely Andre Leon Talley can do better than this. Did he have American Apparel make their gross pleather leggings into a coat for him?
carsonkressley.jpgSend in some queer eyes to get Carson Kressley a better fitting suit and some blotting papers, stat.
donnakaran.jpgIs Donna Karan preparing for an apocalypse that renders her an evil Lawrence of Arabia?
debbieharry.jpgAs a major Debbie Harry fan, this hurts me to say, but these yellow plaid pants (are they flannel?!) make my heart cry a thousand times.
glendabailey.jpgGlenda Bailey has clearly forgotten that a high-neck velvet dress is just one step above wearing an ugly Christmas sweater without irony.
christiansiriano.jpgChristian Siriano in yet another vest-and-skinny-black-pants look? He needs a new outfit.
oliviapalmero.jpgSocialite Olivia Palermo's dress is just trying too hard.


The Ugly:
ardenwohl.jpgArden Wohl's outfit is so bad it is clearly exhausted her with its ugliness.

<![CDATA[It's The Side-of-The-Building Thing That Troubles Us.]]>

Former Queer Eye queen Carson Kressley is extending his 15 minutes of fame thanks to a deal with Lifetime Television in which he'll host the American version of How to Look Good Naked.

According to Daily Variety, the show

...focuses on one woman in each half-hour episode who hates her body so much that she wants a complete makeover. Goal is to change the woman's perception of herself without resorting to interventions like plastic surgery, dieting or exercise.

Despite the fact that there are no apparently plans to include self-hating men in the mix (we know they're out there), we were kind of liking the description of the show, which presented the series as a less-exploitative version of your usual makeover show. The anti-Swan, if you will. But then we read this part:

The women who choose to participate in the British series, said Jessica Samet, senior VP of reality programming for Lifetime, agree early on to allow their picture to be taken in underwear, with the image then projected on the side of a building. Samet said it's usually a revelation to them when passersby, asked to evaluate the larger-than-life projection, shower praise on various aspects of their figure.

Lifetime TV: Still objectifying after all these years.
