Well, come on – you didn’t spend all that time on the abs machine at the gym, only to cover yourself up for prom, did you?

Ugly Prom Dress of the Day: The Green Goddess
Dress of the Day: Blue one shoulder dress from River Island
There’s a whole lotta designer influence going on with this River Island dress. It reminds us a lot of the one-shouldered Lela Rose dress that was selling at Net-a-Porter not so long ago, and, of course, Lela Rose and River Island aren’t the only ones to be pushing this one-shouldered design this season.
We’re loving the bright blue colour, and black belt detail, which will help to create that handspan waist effect (we wish!). And at £39.99, this dress isn’t too expensive either.

BC Footwear’s ‘Wildlife Preserve’ wedges: oldies, but (not so) goodies
So that’s what happened to Thumper after Bambi ended…
We’re confused. We know Marc Jacobs has been getting away with his famous ‘Mouse’ shoes since forever, but we also know that Marc Jacobs is crazy, so we haven’t bothered to mention it. (And also, the mouse shoes? Kinda cute, really.) These, on the other hand? Look like slippers. Wedge heeled slippers. And that heel is the clue, Fashion Police Officers, because these are no mere slippers. These are proper" outdoor shoes, that grown adults are expected to wear. They’re also completely sold out, which means that someone out there is probably reading this with a pair of rabbits on their feet right now. Is it you?

Swimswear Trends to Avoid: Leopard Print
What’s worse than a leopard print swimsuit that’s so low cut it leaves you in danger of a nip-slip the entire time you’re wearing it? Why, a glitter leopard print swimsuit that’s so low cut it leaves you in danger of a nip-slip the entire time you’re wearing it, of course!
Print aside, the big problem with this suit is that the neckline’s too low to be strictly decent, but too low to look like it was deliberate. No wonder the model is holding her arms across her body like that – she’s probably scared to lower them in case her boobs come out to say hello to the camera.
If this look is just right for you, of course, head over to ASOS, where you’ll find it for £45.

Sex and the City New York Premiere: Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis & Kim Cattrall
The Sex and the City movie premiere has finally reached New York, and it looks like the girls brought out the big guns for this one – and we’re not talkihg about Kim Catrall’s boobs, either. We think Sarah Jessica Parker wins the Fashion Police gold badge for this gorgous silver number, and we’re also quite keen on Kristin Davis’ gold floral trim dress. Not so keen on Cynthia Nixon’s "budget bride" look here, or the "handles" on Kim’s dress. We’re sure those will come in handy for something, but we’re not sure we want to speculate on what that might be.
What about you? Do you love or loathe these looks from the Sex and the City foursome?

To Buy or Not to Buy: Black lace cocktail dress
Laura writes…
Dear Fashion Police,
My husband I are were given a weekend at a posh hotel as a wedding present, and it’s one of those "dress for dinner" places. The wedding itself took up most of our available money, so I’m shopping on a budget here, and I found this dress at ASOS. I like the shape and the simplicity of it, but I’m just not sure about the lace. I don’t want to look cheap, just to buy something cheap!
What do you think?

The Ghost of Fashion Crimes Past: Catherine Zeta Jones in a gold jumpuit
Well, well, well, Catherine Zeta Jones, fancy seeing you here in the Fashion Police Jail! Your older self is always so groomed, so polished, so totally unlike this crazy-haired, gold-jumpsuiteded vixen we see before us, like The Ghost of Fashion Crimes Past! And you’re certainly very bendy (kudos for the bendiness, by the way), but we’re just glad to see you combed your hair between the first shot and the second. We just might be able to get you off on an "I’ve got the body for it so I’m damn well gonna wear it" technicality without the Kate Bush ‘do, you see.
Still, this picture should give all the Fashion Criminals out there hope. You can turn yourself around after a crime of fashion, folks – here’s the living, breathing, leg-lifting proof!

Ugly Prom Dress of the Day: Almost topless
It’s that eternal dilemma: you really, really want to go topless to the prom, but those pesky laws relating to public decency just won’t allow it. What’s a girl to do? Enter the "see through bodice dress" – the prom dress that allows you to create the illusion of being naked from the waist up, without getting you arrested.
Could anything be classier than that?
