Pity poor Angelina Jolie, folks. As the current face of luxury fashion label, St. John, Angelina is contractually obliged to wear their clothes from time to time, with one of those occasions being this week’s Golden Globes ceremony. Angelina, however (looking lovely here in an image from the company’s website) is rumoured to be seriously unimpressed with St. John’s current collection – so much so that the company has been forced to design her a new gown from scratch.
St. John have reportedly created two one-off designs just for Angelina, one in black and one in grey. Will they meet with Jolie’s approval? Well, we don’t have long to wait to find out…
As perhaps the only person in the whole entire world who doesn’t look good in wrap dresses (they make me look frumpy and old, and Lord knows I can do without that, thanks very much), Diane Von Furstenberg is a designer who doesn’t really float my boat all that often. I’m making an exeption for this ‘Betty’ dress, though, which is very cute in a “mini mouse would wear this” kind of way, and which is down to £259 in the Net-a-Porter sale.
I have a confession to make here: no one actually asked us about waistband stretchers. Over at my other blog, Forever Amber, though, I get so many hits every day from people who’ve found me having run a search for “waistband stretchers” (seriously, we’re talking five or six hits per day, and all because I once wrote a post about my attempt to buy one of these damn things) that I’m convinced there is a real demand out there for devices which make your jeans fit better. Yes, y’all need waistband stretchers, apparently, and you need ‘em bad! Enter the Fashion Police…
OK, so this isn’t exactly a crime of fashion here, but seriously girls, you have almost the same names, you don’t need to wear almost the same colour, too… I mean, twee, much?
Well, don’t you normally wear your bikini with a pair of cowboy boots to the beach? And, like, an almost totally see-through dress, to sling on when you’re heading back to the hotel and you want to cover up your modesty, but also, not really? Britney sure does. What worries me the most about this outfit? Well, in comparison to some of her recent efforts (and ONLY in comparison to some of her recent efforts), it’s actually not that bad…
Dear Fashion Police,Any idea where I can find some shiny gold tights? Anon
Hello, our anonymous friend! You don’t say what denier of tights you’re looking for (or, indeed, where in the world you want to buy them), but I’m assuming that as you’re looking for something shiny and gold, you’re in the market for party tights. These are actually not so easy to find in January, with the party season well and truly over, but take a look after the jump and all will be revealled…
Now, Chloe, I want you to know that it hurts us just as much as it hurts you to be calling one of your pieces a crime of fashion. You know The Fashion Police love you, Chloe: what you should also know by now, though, is that The Fashion Police have a (some would say irrational) hatred of anything to which the word “dungaree” could be implied. Dresses. Pants. It’s all the same to us, Chloe: if it has that distinctive “dungaree” look, we’re going to call “crime of fashion!” on it. We see no reason whatsoever why grown women should want to dress as giant toddlers – or giant, pregnant toddlers, as this dress would make us all look. Sorry, Chloe, but it had to be said…
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Vera Wang – so much so that I’m getting married in one of her fabulous creations – sorry, Mr Bank Manager… I’m equally in love with her “Lavender” diffusion line, though (well, a girl can’t trip around in a wedding gown all the time, can she?), and particularly with this lovely green bubble hem dress. I’m actually a little surprised that I like this: I’ve always considered pockets on evening dresses to be something of a crime of fashion, and I’ve never really “got” the whole bubble hem thing. On this dress, though? It works. £300 from Net-a-Porter.
