Ginnifer Goodwin and Jennifer Morrison: fashion-forward or just fug?


I love “Once Upon a Time” but I didn’t get to see last week’s episode yet so no spoilers! It’s so nice to see Ginnifer Goodwin and Jennifer Morrison seeming as chummy off-screen as they are on the show, although I hate to see them look like this. They were separate fashion misses in bizarre dresses that did nothing for them.


Goodwin was modern but fug in a fushia Roksanda Ilinicic dress that flared at the wrists. If you took the sleeves off this would just be a plain dress more suited for Sunday brunch than an awards show. I like her hair in those soft retro waves and her makeup is gorgeous. Those are some striking earrings she’s wearing. The shoes are just as bizarre as the dress, though, and look like they should at least have open toes. Not that they would make any sense with that outfit either way.

Morrison was old fashioned fug in white Oscar De La Renta with actual macrame-looking fringe at the hemline. This dress would have worked in another color and without the yarn hanging from the bottom like a dangling curtain tie. It’s so close to being amazing, but the fringe ruins it. Her makeup is really pretty and spot on, but that hair! The top knot is just too high, too full and too formal. I like both of these actresses and it’s a shame they didn’t bring it last night.

As a palette cleanser, here’s the always pretty Nina Dobrev of “Vampire Diaries” in bright green Elie Saab. I love everything about this dress except for the color. The fit and styling really flatter her, and I like that she went with subtle nude shoes and a nude clutch. I think her hair is pretty straight-ironed like that too. (Kaiser isn’t a fan of the straight iron, but I do it with mine a lot.) Dobrev won “Favorite TV Drama Actress” last night!

Carrie Preston of “True Blood” just phoned it in with this very short lace dress. She’s looking overly Botoxed to me too. I love her on TB, but she looks too much like her character here.

And Cheryl Burke wore the same Chagoury Couture dress that Anne Heche wore to a recent charity event. I think Cheryl wears it better actually. This dress is not my style and the pattern looks very 90s to me, but Cheryl is gorgeous here with that sideswept hair, the thigh high slit, and the cage-like bracelet. She may be a little overdone but she’s working it.

    I like the color of Ginnifer’s dress, but not the sleeves. I like Jennifer Morrison’s dress, but not crazy about the bun.

    • kristipistol says:

      I totally agree with you on the Jennifers’

      I love Nina Dobrev and I love that she’s really dated Ian Somerhalder. She’s awesome. So glad she won!!!

    I wish they’d just smile, like a really happy, full on smile. I know that Goodwin is kind of smiling in one photo, but not like the other women.

    She always looks so grouchy, and it makes her look less attractive than she actually is.

  3. brin says:

    Ugh….don’t care for either Ginnifer or Jennifer’s looks but I love “Once Upon a Time” (hope you taped it CB)!

    • Celebitchy says:

      I watch it on demand! I also have the ABC app for the ipad. It’s free I love it.

    • eileen says:

      I haven’t seen last weeks epi either! I watch it with my daughter-she LOVES it, though there are a few times Ive thought twice about letting her see it (she’s 9). But I love having a show we both are really into and can watch together. 🙂
      I LOVE Ginnifer Goodwin-she is such a doll and so naturally beautiful. I’m really liking Jennifer Morrison too-I had never seen her in anything before. And that sherrif/hunter is ooooooyumyum!

    • jen says:

      Hubby & I love the show too but we always laugh now because Jennifer Morrison ends every scene looking confused-it’s become comical.

  4. Yael says:

    i would kill for nina dobrev’s dress.

  5. DarkEmpress says:

    I feel like I am being mean today, but I am really criticizing the fashion. Ginnifer Goodwin never looks good! Never! She has horrible taste. She doesnt know how to dress for her body and I find it hard to believe that she has a stylist. Who would think this is fashion forward? Its not fashion, its homespun! A dress made from a pattern bought at Fabricland. Yeesh!

    • Bubbling says:

      Amen!!! Plus I really don’t get the hype for Roksanda, her dresses and colors are fug, I only liked one (on Kate M. I believe). I do like Morrison’s make up, her lips look tasty 🙂

  6. Hautie says:

    I like Ginnifer’s pink dress. A lot. Like the style. It fits well. But the shoes are not good. At all. I still like her try though.

    I like Jennifer’s white dress… till I saw that bizarre bottom trim. What the hell? It was a good dress till then. I don’t have issues with her hair or makeup or Ginnifer’s. Both are pretty girls.

    But I am still waiting for the return of hose. I am so tired of seeing harsh looking, bony veiny feet. Shoved into 800.00 shoes.

  7. TheOriginalKitten says:

    I LOVE the color of Nina Dobrev’s Elie Saab dress. I love the dress period. It looks awesome on her and I love green on women who have dark hair and dark coloring. Everything else I hate.

  8. EmmaStoneWannabe says:

    The only decent dress on this page is the green. The white one worn by Jennifer would have been fantastic sans fringe.

  9. Dee says:

    Do you watch The Good Wife? Carrie Preston is FANTASTIC on that show…she just steals every scene she’s in! Here is a clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heF5_fVxPz8

    GG’s dress = Pepto Bismol color

    JM’s dress = 1970’s shag curtains

    CP’s dress = Goth dress with batwing shoes

    I like the other 2 dresses

  11. Franny says:

    I really dislike Ginnifer’s way of posing and staring at the camera. I want her to stand up straight with her head up high and smile. That weird hankering down, head down, and oddly staring thing just really bothers me.

    • rainstarr says:

      Totally agree. She doesn’t look like she wants to be anywhere, like she wants to be invisible. Which is really awkward to see in an actress.

  12. kikilo says:

    GG’s dress – nice try being different, but nuh-uh, doesn’t work.
    Nina D’s dress — to die for. She’s so lovely & perfect. Jel…

    The rest are meh.

  13. Kim says:

    EVERY dress above is hideous.

  14. joxjooze says:

    Don’t care about Jennifer Morrison, but her dress was the prettiest I think.
    I love Ginnifer- but that dress, is plain awful!

  15. Madrid says:

    uhoooo, the JM dress looked nice till I scrolled down completely. The macramé thing is one of the most horrid choices to add in a dress (seriously haute couture?… my a…)

  16. novaraen says:

    I love all the dresses and these three women are beautiful. I do agree however…that they really need to bring back the wearing of nylons or hose. Tired of seeing knobby knees, bony feet and weird looking toes. lol…

  17. Ness says:

    Yay! More Nina please. I wish she and Ian Smoulderhalder would walk the red carpet together.

  18. MrsNix says:

    I have a girl crush on Carrie Preston. She has a recurring guest role on The Good Wife that she just knocks out of the park every time. If you haven’t seen her in those episodes and you’re a fan of hers from True Blood, you should check them out. I really want to see her do more things.

  19. Seren says:

    I totally agree about wearing nylons or hose. Such gorgeous dresses really call for elegant, smooth legs.
