Fergie In Felix The Cat Dress: Chic Or Shriek? (PHOTOS, POLL)

What the fug?

Fergie hit the red carpet last night for "A Night Of Firsts," an evening presented Hollywood Foreign Press Association and InStyle. Unfortunately we have a hard time designating her outfit as anywhere near "in style." We're not trying to be mean -- we're just seriously confused.

For the party, the pop star chose a short strapless dress. Fine. But the dress, by the ever-inventive Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, featured a giant black bow. And the metallic printed face of Felix the Cat. And it was not zipped up the back.

First, let's talk about Felix. We don't mind the occasional animal on a garment (Lord knows the fashion world adored those Givenchy rottweiler sweaters), but a animated cat just reminds us too much of those silly cartoon ties our male school teachers used to wear.

Second, let's discuss the back. Presumably, Fergie special ordered this dress (when's the last time you saw a Jean-Charles de Castelbajac cat dress hanging in a store?). So why wouldn't she order the right size? Better yet: when she was zipping up the dress before leaving the house, didn't she realize it simply was not fit to wear?

But we are not personally acquainted with Fergie and thus our questions must go unanswered. In the meantime, check out the whole get-up below... and obviously share your (kindly worded) thoughts in the comments.

CUTE! She manages to pull the whole thing off.

UGH. Just, no.

Christ...can you women be any MORE freaking CATTY??

You'd kill to look as good as she does when YOU'RE in your late 30's.

And for those who are past that mark and are being all negative...

You're just jealous because your best days are long gone behind you and they're never coming back.

As for the "wrinkled knees" comment...clean your glasses, grandma...it's called "having some meat on your bones" and it's a HELL of a lot better than the ugly sticks walking around today.

The woman is absolutely gorgeous and beautifuly curvy. She isn't overweight or malnourished. Suck it up, deal with it and be jealous. I would be proud to be with her. Her music is clean, not profane and her her band is well-appreciated, well-respected and successfull.

I like Fergie, but she's a 'fashion mess' 90% of the time.

".......HIM and Fergie will have kids soon." ???? I assume at least 2 College graduates (the Writer and an Editor), saw this before it reached a printer...........unbelivable.

i'm sorry but this woman is just funky looking all the way around. her face is looking less and less like a real person and more and more like one of the wives of beverly hills. now her body is okay but not fantastic and that dress is just awful. poor thing. but really it is my mistake - to think that just because a woman has the ways and means does not mean she will have a satisfactory end result. and fergie - you have not got that.

It's not the dress that's scary - she's had something done to her face again - IT looks scary.

Too harsh people! No one stays 18 years old forever. Give her some slack. Granted, the hair is a little strange, but Fergie is SEXY!

And give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe the zipper broke and that was a quick fix.

Why wouldn't you just stitch the zipper closed? The dress would have to fit without the gusset for that to work tho.

Fergie is looking rough. If she's not with it enough to see this outfit and her appearance in general is a wreck, there's a problem.

Something's odd with her face too, no?

With all of her money, she couldn't buy a dress that fit? Ladies, that stuff in the back, no matter how tempted you might be to fix up a too-small dress like this - Don't! Just makes you look cheap and unfinished.

I think it goes really well with her too tight face.

As my grandfather used to say..."she looks like she's been rode hard and put away wet".

I pretty much say "What on Earth is she wearing?" every time I see Fergie.
