 Sometimes simple really is best. This one shoulder pencil dress from Karen Millen is certainly simple enough to mean you’ll get plenty of wear out of it (this type of dress will see you through many, many formal occasions), but with just enough detail to make it stand out.
The one-shoulder design and contrast fabric on the figure-hugging bodice give this something of a designer look, but at £160 it’s expensive, but not so much that you’ll have to mortgage the house to pay for it – always a good thing, we find.
Wear with the highest of heels and a swept-up hairdo for a polished look that never goes wrong.
Buy it online from the Karen Millen website.

 This dress is what we call a “crotch warmer”: the front serves no other purpose other than to cover the crotch and no more, while the back flows out, preserving a small sense of modesty. It’s the kind of dress you’d wear if you wanted something long and dramatic for a special event, but really, really couldn’t stand the thought of not showing off your (admittedly great) legs.
Gemma Arterton seems pretty pleased with her choice here, but what do you think, Fashion Police jurors? Stunning, or an arrestable offense?

 Planning to keep things low-key this Halloween? This yellow ‘Devil’ sweater from Betsey Johnson is just the thing for you, then: from the front, it’s a totally plain (albeit very yellow) longline sweater. Turn around, though, and it’ll be clear to all who see you that the devil’s got your back.
And how much does it cost to carry Beelzebub on your back, we hear you ask? Why, a mere $305 from Betsey Johnson’s online store!

This Halloween, you’ll look just like you’re about to hop aboard a more upmarket version of the Starship Enterprise in this metallic jumpsuit by Pam Hogg. You’ll also look like a fashion criminal, of course, but that’s half the fun of Halloween, isn’t it?
Sadly, given that this costs £515, the joke may well be on you this time. Get it at www.brownsfashion.com.

If we’d had to guess what Mariah Carey would dress up as for Halloween, we possibly wouldn’t have said “fire fighter”, but we probably would have guessed “short skirt, maximum exposure of flesh, prominent breasts, possibly suspenders”.
Looks like we’d have been right, too.

 Happy Halloween, Fashion Police Cadets! Aren’t you just kicking yourselves over the fact that it’s now too late to order this fantastic “slutty witch” costume by Moschino? Just add a pointy hat and a broomstick and you’re done!
Ah well, never mind, there’s always next year. But isn’t it strange how something that costs £715 can look so very cheap?

 The strange thing about this at that none of the other celebrities at the Blackberry event seem to have been in fancy dress, so either Kim Kardashian and Brittny Gastineau read the invitation wrong, or they just felt like dressing up. Either way, Kim here makes a pretty good Wonder Woman, no? And Brittny… we’re not actually sure what she is, except that it’s scary. We’re going with “zombie”, but feel free to correct us…

 The Fashion Police are feeling blue. Not literally, you understand, we’re just really enjoying the colour right now, especially now that the clocks have changed at Fashion Police HQ and we’re now languishing in the darkness much of the time. This bright blue shoulder bag by Marc Jacobs has definitely helped cheer us up, though, and even although we wouldn’t dream of paying £515 for a bag that wouldn’t work with every single colour in our wardrobe, if we did have the money burning a hole in our pockets, it would be a pretty nice little pick-me-up, no?
Get it at Net-a-Porter.
