Not So Ugly

Our own Justin Campbell got us some great shots of America Ferrera playing her fun, endearing Betty while working on the set of Ugly Betty in New York City. Pat Fields, the shows stylist (who used to do the costuming for Sex and the City and styled the entire film) is back to working her fashion magic on America, perfecting Betty’s over-the-top looks for the show.  Pat Fields is one of the most talented people working in fashion right now, and we can’t wait to see the depth of her work this season.

Betty’s New Appeal

America Ferrera has been suffering lately as the set of Ugly Betty has moved New York City from California. Her layered, nerdy-neon-chic look must have her roasting like a peanut in the shell. And most times, they just look crazy fro comedy’s sake. But this look, from scenes shot yesterday: while it’s pretty ridiculous and over the top, We can totally imagine some eccentric fashion type wearing this look to work on a normal weekday. Or if we took a trip to an M.I.A. concert in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, we are positive that at least 5 identical looks would pop up before the show even started. And 10 girls would have those tights. If they keep styling American like this, the show could bring in a whole new fan base.
