The Good, The Bad, & The Barbie: Aussie Fashions Have A Roo Loose In The Top Paddock

Latest

The 51st TV Week Logie Awards at Melbourne’s Crown Towers Hotel and Casino was a crazy whirl of 80s-style Barbie costumes, Kidmans, Minogues, huge skirts, transparent skirts, and plain old starkers!

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!
