First it was Victoria Beckham, then it was Keira Knightley (who, actually, I still shudder to think of) and now it seems The Curse of the Black Braces, Worn with White Pants has spread to Kate Hudson, pictured here for the January edition of Vogue. Not, of course, that it’s a curse, exactly. Well, not unless you wear the braces over your naked, little-boy-boobs, like Keira.

What’s happening here? Are all of the January glossies going to be pushing the Black Braces? Do you think they’re trying to tell us something?
