"Can somebody/something be beautiful and ugly at the same time?"

Depends on what particular aspect of somebody/something you are talking about but if you are talking about the same attribute of the particular thing or being in question, then the answer is No.

It cannot be both ugly and beautiful, because by definition if something/somebody is beautiful it MEANS it is not ugly and vice-versa.

It's like saying you can have something and nothing at the same time. By saying you have something you have stated that you DO NOT have nothing.

Thus, beauty and ugliness are the opposites and negate each other. If you think about it in binary, a switch is either on (1) or off (0). Can the switch ever be 1 & 0 at the same time? Never. If we did we would never have such things as computers.
