Well, I think we can safely assume that Eva Longoria isn’t a member of PETA, don’t you? I think we can also safely say that it was lucky for Eva that PETA weren’t part of the crowd when she turned up to Good Morning America wearing what looks to us like a real a fur coat and carrying an alligator handbag. Not so lucky for the sable and the alligator who lost their lives to create this outfit though, hey?
We’ve had the fur debate before here at The Fashion Police, and, as always, there were strong opinions on either side (although most of you said you wouldn’t wear it), so we’re going to leave it up to you to decide what you think of this outfit: stylish or stupid?
If you’ve been reading this site for more than a day – or maybe even less than that, actually – you’ll already know that star print is one of the trends for Spring/summer 08. We know, who knew? Luckily, not all star print is as bold as "that" Topshop dress: it can be as subtle as the star print blouse above, from Dorothy Perkins or ASOS Petite’s star print dress – hell, you can even wear it on your bra. Like it or loathe it, you probably better get used to it, because let’s just say you’re going to be seeing a LOT of it, for a few months at least.
Poor Kate Hudson and Camila Alves (girlfriend of Matthew McConaughey) – the wind got the better of them at last night’s Fool’s Gold premiere, leaving them looking a little less groomed than they would probably have liked.
Wind-induced wardrobe malfunctions aside, though, what does everyone think of Kate’s electric blue dress? We kinda like the style, but we’re hoping that pouching round the stomach was caused by the wind, because if it’s just a feature of the dress, or an ill-fit, it seems to be almost inviting all of those "OMG, Kate Hudson is pregnant!" rumours that have already started circulating…
If you’d told me this morning that by the end of the day I’d not only have found a denim dress I didn’t hate, but would have made that denim dress Dress of the Day, I’d probably have laughed pretty hard.
This Betsey Johnson dress may be denim, though, but it doesn’t really look like denim, and that’s the most important thing. In fact, let’s pretend it has no relation to denim at all, then we can just admire the cute little nautical style bow without worrying that we’d look like an extra from Dukes of Hazzard it we actually wore it… (Which we wouldn’t. Obviously.)
You know how, back in the days before there were laws about that kind of thing, people used to buy umbrella stands made out of elephant feet? Looks like someone stole one and turned it into a shoe, with the "someone" in question being our old friends, Irregular Choice. Elephants, of course, have much more graceful feet that this. They don’t have the square toe, for one thing, and they can can away with the flat-footed, wrinkled skin bit a lot easier than we can. If you disagree, and want these for your own, they’ve been reduced in the sale (gosh, we wonder why?) and are now £39.75).
Some people would say that hoodies are pretty monstrous. These ones absolutely are, though. They’re Monster Hoodies, you see, and they come in different varieties, such as Dinosaurus Rex (right), Neko Gato (left) and more. They’re hoodies with teeth, for scaring small children and people, and for making you look like an angry monster. They’re $59.99 at MonsterHoodies.com.
For her Valentine’s Day ensemble, Eva’s put together this quirky, casual outfit using pieces from Modcloth – you’ll find the links to each item below.

Like the gluttons for punishment we so clearly are, we keep finding ourselves drawn back, time and time again to the Scene of Fashion Crimes that was Chanel’s Spring/Summer 08 catwalk show. This show was responsible for so many things, both good and bad: it was responsible for starting the star-print craze, for instance. It was responsible for the re-modelled denim that’s been hitting the high-street lately. It was responsible for Keira Knightley’s horrendous W Magazine cover. (It also had it’s fair share of shants and shant dresses, but we think that’s enough to be getting along with for now.)
Most worryingly of all, however, Chanel Spring/ Summer 08 was responsible for these. Yes, they’re denim dungarees. Cut-out denim dungaree. With bikini tops. Worn, in the case of the girl on the right, at half-mast, the denim just grazing the ankle. We probably don’t even need to mention the strange woven legwarmers and PANTS worn over the top. Because, yes, Karl Lagerfeld apparently wants us to start wearing our knickers over the top of our jeans: but only if the knickers are woven ones and the jeans are tacky, cutout ones. We’re disturbed.
If you’d told me this morning that by the end of the day I’d not only have found a denim dress I didn’t hate, but would have made that denim dress Dress of the Day, I’d probably have laughed pretty hard.
