Fashion Police at The Oscars: Jessicsa Biel

jessicabiel Fashion Police at The Oscars: Jessicsa Biel

A useful rule of thumb to go by when buying a dress: never wear anything that allows those looking at you to see exactly what you must look like naked. Jessica Biel didn’t follow that rule of thumb, did she? Not only are her boobs n’ belly on clear display here, the halter neck is making her look top heavy – which must be pretty difficult actually, when you consider how perfect her figure is. Beautiful dress, beautiful woman – they just don’t do anything for each other, do they?

Fashion Police at the Oscars: Cameron Diaz

Of course, Beyonce wasn’t the only one to look like she was going to a wedding after the show. Cameron was clearly heading down the aisle too, and let’s be honest: it’s not the first time, is it? I much preferred Cameron’s Golden Globes dress to this bride-a-like number: I know I’ll probably be alone in saying that, but the other dress was prettier and more delicate – this has a bit of an 80s vive to it that I’m not quite happy with.

Fashion Police at The Oscars: Beyonce

beyoncetheoscars Fashion Police at The Oscars: BeyonceNow, I know bridal style fashion was all the rage at the Golden Globes, so there was a good chance it would follow through to the Oscars, but this dress? This dress actually is a wedding dress. In fact, I can distinctly remember seeing it come down the Catwalk, complete with veil, at the Armani Prive show at Paris Couture Week. See!

Anything you’d like to tell us, Beyonce? Hmmm?

To be fair to Beyonce, it’s a beautiful wedding dress, and if anyone can get away with it, it’s her. Glad to see she left the veil at home, though.

Fashion Police at The Oscars: Isla Fisher

I heart Isla Fisher.. Not just because she’s a fellow redhead (and because I have a bit of a weakness for Australian soaps. SO?), but because she’s just so cute. Here, Isla works the redhead’s favourite colour – green – in a gorgeous Monique Lhuillier gown, and looks totally like Jessica Rabbit in the process. Yay for the fellow redheads!

Fashion Police at The Oscars: Nicole Kidman

Wow. I have to say I was pretty impressed with this year’s Oscar frocks. Not a whole lot of policing for us to do here – obviously there were the odd few Fashion Criminals amongst the throng, but still, pretty good year I’d say…

I love this bright red Balenciaga dress on Nicole Kidman. Not a colour she could have gotten away with before she went blonde, but hell, she can get away with it now, so she may as well make the most of it. Lately she’s been wearing a lot of whites and creams which are just too pale with her recent bleached look. This red is dramatic and looks great with the blonde hair and red lipstick.

Crime of Fashion: Louis Vuitton’s Tribute Patchwork Bag

louisvuittonbag Crime of Fashion:  Louis Vuittons Tribute Patchwork Bag

Would you pay $42,000 for this bag? And if so, could you just step over here for a second, while the nice man helps you slip into the straightjacket? I mean, sure, we all knew Louis Vuitton had a batshit crazy streak a mile wide (remember the mink bum bag they tried to offend our eyesight with last year) but this is a bit much even for them. What were they thinking? What kind of people are paying $42,000 for this? Are they they same people who are buying Topshop’s denim jumpsuits, perhaps?

Well done, LV. You’ve astounded even us. I can only imagine the “tribute” referred to here is a tribute to bad taste?

Wanted! ‘That’ Warehouse Silk Shift Dress

warehousedress Wanted! That Warehouse Silk Shift Dress

I think this just might turn out to be the "must have" dress of the summer. It’s already been giving the poor, belagured Warehouse staff a headache, as they deal with countless enquiries along the lines of "WHERE IS THE DRESS? GIVE ME THE DRESS!" so I’m guessing they’ll be pretty pleased that’s it’s finally come into stock. They’re not the only ones, obviously: it’s the perfect, summer beach holiday dress, and while I think it looks better on the model than it does on the Warehouse website, I still want it…

Crime of Fashion: Halter Neck Jumpsuit

jumpsuit Crime of Fashion: Halter Neck Jumpsuit Did you know Topshop have a whole category on their website for “playsuits” now? Did you know why? Nope, me neither: but I’m assuming it’s because they know there are people in the world who will actually pay £50 to look like they’re pregnant and sartorially challenged. It’s the only explanation. I bet someone at Topshop is sitting in the boardroom RIGHT NOW chuckling to themselves as they look at this halter neck jumpsuit and count the pennies that have been coming in from it.

COME ON, Topshop! You know how we feel about dungarees. You must know denim + jumpsuit + halter neck does not a good look make. WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US? When will you get back to selling pretty clothes at affordable prices, and stop all this “selling ugly rubbish because we totally know people will buy it anyway” crap. When, for the love of God, WHEN?
