A nice alternative to the classic LBD, French Connection’s Cogs Dress has a lovely beaded neckline and a deep-V back that makes it much less demure than it may seem at first glance. We’re fans of the cinched-in waist, and think this is the kind of dress you’d end up wearing again and again, but without getting bored of it. It’s £140 from frenchconnection.co.uk

Impostor Footwear: the Fashion Police cells are absolutely full of it, but what is it, we hear you ask?
Impostor Footwear is exactly what the name suggests: shoes, boots and socks that are all pretending to be something they’re not. In other words: impostors. Into this category go the Boots-Pretending-to-Be-Shoes, the Socks-Pretending-to-Be-Boots, and everything in between.
Although some forms of Impostor Footwear can look perfectly fine, the truth is that most Footwear Impostors are also Fashion Criminals, so we’ve included a Rogue’s Gallery of them under the jump, to help you identify the miscreants, should the need arise…

If you’ve watched any episode’s of 90210 lately, you won’t need The Fashion Police to tell you that AnnaLynne McCord’s character, Naomi, has something of an … interesting…. dress sense. And so, it would seem, does AnnaLynne herself. Here she is at the Blackberry Storm launch, totally flouting the “leggings are not pants” rule of fashion by… wearing leggings as pants. And then wiggling her ass in our faces just in case we didn’t notice it.
Now, here’s the thing: rules are meant to be broken, and we actually think there are some girls out there who can totally get away with the “leggings as pants”. Yes, we do. What we want to know is: should we count AnnaLynne here among them?
What do you think of this look, readers? Does she deserve a Fashion Police warning, or, given that there are so many celebrities (and non-celebrities) dressing like this right now, should she get off scot-free?

After seeing this photo of repeat fashion offender, Bai Ling, at the Blackberry Storm launch party this week, we were so blown away by the lack of flashed flesh, ripped clothing or other fashion misdemeanors that we’ve made the difficult decision to allow Bai out of the Fashion Police Jail and put her on parole. Because she actually looks cute here, doesn’t she? This look is a whole world away from the kind of thing she usually torments our eyeballs with, and we think her efforts should be encouraged.
Bai’s not completely off the hook yet, of course, but credit where it’s due, no?

Now, it could be underwear. It is a tulle skirt, after all, so there’s every chance this was designed to be worn – not with nothing but your knickers and a smile, as shown in the picture above – but underneath a regular, non-sheer skirt. To, you know, make it look more “poofy”. Like wedding dresses sometimes have, or ball gowns.
If that’s the case, then of course, we can have no argument with the skirt itself. We can, however, wonder just why in the world it costs £605 ($987), if it’s not even supposed to be seen?
Of course, if it is supposed to be seen, then it’s under arrest. No question. If you’re still keen to buy it, and you promise not to try going commando in it, it’s by Dolce & Gabbana, and it’s available from Yoox.com.

They’re both pretty, blonde, 27-year-old British TV presenters, they’ve both presented the X-Factor, are good friends, and both turned up at last night’s National TV Awards wearing sparkly silver dresses – albeit in very different styles. So naturally, The Fashion Police wondered: who was the best dressed – Holly Willoughby or Fearne Cotton?
We think we’d personally go with Fearne on this one: Holly looks great in her her floor-length gown, but we’re liking Ferane’s slightly more rock-chick look, and we’re loving her hair! What do you think, though readers? Who wins the Star Style War between Holly and Fearne?

We’ve been rather mean to Acne recently, so we thought it only fair to show you that it’s not all mom jeans and sack dresses over there – in fact, we though these black ‘Perla’ pumps were lovely enough to qualify as Shoe Porn, such is their simple-but-sexy appeal. Someone must agree with us too, because these are currently very low in stock, so if you want a pair, you’ll have to be prepared to act fast – and to pay £425 for them. Get them here.
