Dress of the Day: JJ Park stripe dress from Oli

We think there's really only one message we can possibly take from this picture: buy this dress and you, too, could prance around like a pony, just like this model! Actually, going by the facial expression alone, she doesn't seem to be having too much fun, but hopefully that's not the fault of the dress. As for the dress itself, well, the bodice may be a little too childlike for many of us to pull off, but we're liking the combination of the striped bodice and black skirt, and hey, anything looks good after today's Ugly Prom Dress, no? It's £56 at Oli.

The Purse is in the mail: YSL's Y-Mail Black Patent Coin Purse

We can see one main drawback to this cute little coin purse by YSL -if you lose it, the finder's presumably going to just mail it right back to YSL, whose name and address is conveniently stamped on the front. Or, of course, they may be tempted just to keep it for themselves. It's $175, which is more money than we'd have to carry around in it right now, but if you want to snag yourself one, you can buy it direct from YSL.

Sex and the City movie premiere: Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis & SJP

Cynthia Nixon: "Damn! I was hoping that by baring my chest like this, I'd get to be centre of attention for once, but damn if she hasn't gone and stolen the limelight again!"

We love Kim Cattrall's dress and Kristin Davis' shoes, but we have a sneaking suspicion that they're all too scared of SJP's mutant tree hat to care what the hell they're wearing. Pretty dull choice from Kristin, but I guess if you're fresh from starring in your very own Internet sex tape, you probably don't want to be drawing too much attention to yourself. Kristin thinks, "Thank God for the tree hat, thank God for the tree hat..."

Sex and the City movie premiere: Sarah Jessica Parker

It was always pretty much a given that Sarah Jessica Parker would try to pull something a little bit extraordinary out of the bag for the Sex and the City movie premiere in London last night, but here it looks like she actually turned up in character as Carrie. And man, we'd have hated to have been sitting behind her in the theatre...

We love the dress, but aren't huge fans of headgear that makes you walk like a robot, scared to move your head in case it all comes tumbling down on top of you, which is what seems to be going on here. It's a great hat to look at, but possibly not so much fun to wear, we suspect. What do you think, though?

Frankenshoes: Warning! Platform sneakers, approach with caution!

Note to all shoppers: The Spice Girls weren't great fashion role models in the 90s, and they're still not great fashion role models now. Although, if it's always been your life goal to look exactly like a cartoon character, these shoes could be a great buy for $18.80. Personally, we think we'll be sticking to shoes that won't make our feet look like they need their own zip codes...

Ben Affleck's secret fug modelling past exposed by The Fashion Police

Ben Affleck was in hiding this week after his sordid past as a model for knitting pattern makers, Phildar, was sensationally exposed by The Fashion Police.*

"It was in the early days of his career, before he hit the big time," said a source close to the star. "Ben had to bring in the bucks somehow, and modeling fugly sweaters seemed like the answer at the time. Of course, he had hoped these pictures would never get out: I guess he's feeling pretty ashamed of himself now. Some people are saying he'll never work in this town again..."

* Note: Not actually true. That's not the real Ben Affleck in the picture - as far as we know...

Fashion Police arrest teen for prom dress related crimes: a warning to us all...

So, you thought your ugly prom dress couldn't actually get you arrested? Think again folks...

Marche Taylor, on the left of the picture, also thought her skimpy prom dress couldn't get her into trouble - until she was refused admission to her prom because of it.

"It was revealing in such a way that it would not be appropriate for a prom," said the principle of Marche's high school, in Houston, Texas. Marche, however, disagreed, and the ensuing fracas resulted in the police being called and the teen fashion criminal being led away in cuffs. Which just goes to show you: it's not just The Fashion Police you have to worry about when it comes to dressing for prom.

"I actually like the dress. Everybody else likes my dress," insisted Marche, yesterday. Well, everyone: do you?

(Thanks to Michelle and Julie for the report!)

Ugly Prom Dress of the Day: Attack of the killer ruffles

"And if you think it looks bad from the front, just wait 'til I turn round!"

Looks like yesterday's 'Dangling Ruffle' disease was contagious. As you all probably know, dangly bits of all kinds can be fatal to prom dresses, so The Fashion Police are doing our best to contain the situation. In the meantime, if you spot any examples of this particular crime, don't approach the dress - we repeat DO NOT APPROACH THE DRESS. Just call The Fashion Police and let us deal with it...

(Thanks to Ruby for calling this one in!)

Lindsay Lohan really wasn't joking about that leggings line....

OK, we admit it: we totally thought Lindsay Lohan was joking when she said she was going to design a range of leggings. Honestly, we didn't think anyone could love leggings that much - not even Lindsay - but it seems we were wrong, for here's LiLo on Robertson Boulevard this weekend, complete with a "bevvy" of leggings-clad lovelies, all modeling her new line, 6126. The name, incidentally, is another homage to Marilyn Monroe, who was born on 6/1/26. We're not sure how Marilyn would feel about having leggings named after her, but at least it's better than Lindsay's last tribute to Monroe...

We would really like to know what the knee-pads are for, though. Anyone?

Dress of the Day: Two tone bandeau dress from River Island

We had the opportunity to see this dress in person last weekend (Yes, we do sometimes venture outside of the computer box and go into real, actual shops), and it instantly made us start wondering whether there are any events coming up on The Fashion Police calendar that would require the wearing of a two tone bandeau dress  -or whether we could perhaps invent one.

This dress is simple but stylish with its little waist bow and button front. It'll see you through many an evening or posh day event, and at £44.99, it's not particularly expensive, either.

Sadly, we couldn't justify the purchase, but if you can, you'll find it at River Island.

Spot the Difference: Stripe dresses from Topshop and Principles

What's the difference between the two dresses shown above? Well, "About a tenner" is the only answer we can come up with going by the pictures alone, because while Topshop's stripe jersey dress. on the left, is £35, Principles have decided to add an extra £10 to their black and white stripe dress on the right, which is £45.

Of course, there is the small matter of colour. Topshop's stripes are navy while Principles are black. Can we assume that black fabric dye is £10 more expensive than the navy stuff, do you think?

Light acid wash boobtube. Words to strike fear into Fashion Police hearts.

Denim. Acid wash. Ra-ra skirt. Boob tube. Mini dress. It's always been our belief that these words should never appear together in the same sentence, and certainly never in a product description -it's all just a wee bit more 'Back to the 80s' than we can deal with when sober. Miss Selfridge clearly beg to differ, though: they've just broken a run of fabulous dresses with their light acid wash boobtube which they'll sell you for £40. Will you want to buy it, though, that's what The Fashion Police want to know?

A quick Christian Louboutin fix...

We don't know about you, but our own eyes are bleeding after all of the Fashion Crimes we've inflicted upon you this morning, so, in a bid to make it all better, here are some beautiful shoes, courtesy of Fashion Police Overlord, Mr Christian Louboutin. Well, it's the least we can do really, isn't it?

All of these shoes can be found at Net-a-Porter- direct product links below.

1. Christian Louboutin Rosazissimo satin sandals; 2. Christian Louboutin Very Noeud slingbacks; 3. Christian Louboutin Alta Perla Strass slingbacks; 4. Christian Louboutin Privatita platform slingbacks; 5. Christian Louboutin Marilou woven sandals

Frankenshoes: Azzedine Alaia open sandals with lace up front

Reported by Orla, these Azzedine Alaia shoes are £705 worth of lace-effect leather and, er, not much else. For some reason, we find ourselves thinking of insects every time we look at them, perhaps because we're pretty sure that if spiders had feet, this is what they'd be wearing on them. Rich spiders, obviously: normal spiders clearly wouldn't be able to afford them.

Browns claim that these babies will "look stunning with any outfit". Is the Ugly Prom Dress of the Day included in that sweeping statement, we wonder?

Crocs Update: still ugly, even with help from Donald Duck

These shocking images were sent in by roving Fashion Police Officer Danielle, who snapped them on her beat in Vegas this weekend. We're thinking what happens in Vegas should probably stay in Vegas, right? We're also thinking some stores clearly missed the memo about how sticking the grinning, decapitated heads of Disney characters onto the toes of your Crocs doesn't suddenly make them stylish. Quite the opposite, in fact...
