I know £65 is a lot of money to spend on a wooly hat, but I’ve been lusting over this one for months now. I finally managed to find one in the same colour, but alas, no bow, and I’m sure you’ll agree that the bow is the most important element here. If only I knew how to knit!
Anyway, for those of you who don’t mind splashing the cash, this is by Sonia Rykiel and is a wool/angora mix. I, meanwhile, will be speaking nicely to my mother to find out if she knows how to make one…
I’ve never been a particular fan of Penelope Cruz, but I have to admit, she’s been looking super-stylish lately. Here she is, off to meet Queen Sophia of Spain at the Spanish Institute’s annual Gold Medal Gala, and looking rather swish in this gorgeous blue gown with a bow at the back. Love it.
Penelope was given a gold medal at the gala, but not for her sense of fashion, but for her contribution to improving relations between the US and Spain.
There’s something about Dolce & Gabbana’s Miss Silky tote that makes me want to pet it. I think it’s because it looks a little bit like Yoda, sitting there with its big ears sticking out like that. Strange it is. And much it will cost you – $2195, to be exact. For that amount, I’d be wanting it to dispense little nuggets of Yoda-like wisdom, but I don’t think it will, somehow. An opportunity missed by Dolce & Gabbana!
I know this is more a matter for our beauty blog, Hey, Dollface! than for The Fashion Police, but we get so many people arriving here having searched for "Katie Holmes haircut" that I’m going to bow to demand for once and give the people what they want.
Here’s Katie, then, showcasing a brand new bob at an awards ceremony in Germany last night. I think this is her best look yet: she looks super-cute in this picture, peeping out from underneath the heavy fringe, and, just to keep this fashion-related, I’m also loving the little gold shrug, which she wore with a tight black dress. Allie is Wired is right, though – she does look freakishly like Kelly Osbourne in some of these pictures.
I know, I know – it’s another purple dress, but the fact is, they’re getting pretty hard to avoid right now, so we may as well just give in to the overwhelming tide of purpleness, and show you this classic tea dress by Topshop, which is understated and chic in a "wear me almost anywhere" kind of way. Because I’m petite, I’m guessing I’d have to wear something underneath this, or that cut-out detail at the front could very quickly become pornographic, but for those of you who aren’t cursed by short-body syndrome, like I apparently am, it’ll add a bit of sexiness to an otherwise demure little dress.
Do you have something you’d like to say about fashion? Perhaps you’d like to admit to a crime of fashion, or just have a rant about the fashion items that annoy you the most. Or maybe you fancy yourself as a fashion writer, and just want to be published.
Well, this is your chance to write for our site and have your voice heard by several thousand readers per day. We’re currently looking for guest bloggers to submit posts for inclusion on The Fashion Police. Read more after the jump…
I’d like to think Julia Roberts was paid to wear this outfit – and particularly these shoes – to whatever awards event this was. I know it’s hard to imagine who, in their right mind, would pay her to wear it (and, more importantly, WHY), but it’s even harder to imagine her looking in the mirror that night and thinking, “Yup, this is one hawt red carpet look, lookin’ good!”
Then again, there’s just a chance that Julia here thinks she’s so gorgeous she can get away with wearing ANYTHING – even a frumpy old house dress from the 30s and these cloddhopper shoes. And if that’s the case, well, I guess she’s earned her fashion criminal stripes.
Here’s SJP as Sex and the City’s Carrie, showing us that even fashionista’s sometimes need a little bit of support, especially on a windy day in NYC. Good on her, we say: sometimes comfort has to come before fashion, and there’s nothing like a big old pair of pants to hold you in and keep you in, now is there? And it’s better to be caught in big knickers than with no kickers – Paris and Britney take note!
The outfit and shoes are by Proenza Schouler. The knickers – well, who knows?
