I’m not going to lie to you: I picked this little Alberta Ferretti number as today’s dress of the day, not just because I like it, but because it looks almost exactly like a long-sleeved version of the dresses the Fashion Police Squad are wearing in our banner. You gotta love that.

This dress is purple – yeah, yeah, yawn if you want to – but not so’s you’d notice. In fact, it looks a lot like a classic LBD until you take a closer look, which is a good thing because it’s not going to be quite as identifiably "2007" a couple of years down the line. (And yes, for £828 I’d still want to be wearing it a couple of years down the line…)

This is one of those dresses which looks better on than it does in the picture, I think: it certainly looks stunning on the Net-a-Porter mannequin, but then, I guess everything looks good on her. Bitch.*

* Joke.
