We’re getting real “Hollywood bomshell” vibes off this ‘Thandie’ dress from Coast  - can’t you just see it on the red carpet, worn with killer heels and a lipstick smile? We can, and while we’re dreaming up an occasion special enough to wear it, you can head over to Coast and buy it for £135!

We showed you a very dressed-down Mischa Barton earlier this week, so here’s the actress looking much more dressed up at the Gala Sidaction in Paris last night.
The Fashion Police like to give credit where it’s due, so let us just say that while it’s not quite Gold Star-worthy, we think Mischa’s pulling this dress off rather well, especially given some of her past form. Your thoughts?

Ladies and gentlemen of The Fashion Police Jury, in the dock before you stands Nicole Miller’s Shirting Stripe Dress. It has been accused of committing c rimes against fashion and actually, the more we look at it, the more we convince ourselves it’s guilty. But it’s Friday and we’re feeling generous, so we’re going to let you be the ones to make that decision…
The Case for the Prosecution:
OK, this is an oversized shirt and an undersized dress, stuck together, and therefor in clear contravention of The Fashion Police ruling against Clothes That Are Stuck Together. Also, it looks like this poor woman went out wearing a perfectly nice dress and shirt, and then some dastardly villain came along and ripped it off her, leaving her with only a scrap of dress, and the shirt. Guilty as charged!
The Case for the Defence:
Well, we’ve already established that sometimes there are good reasons for clothes to be stuck together. And, um, this is quirky! And unusual! And “quirky and unusual” is good, right? Right?
Over to you, jurors: will you convict or acquit this dress? Tell us! (You’ll find a poll under the jump to let you register your vote.)

Martin Margiela has been at it again, reinventing the humble knee boot. It was good of him to think of it, but to be perfectly honest, we didn’t really think the knee boot needed reinventing, particularly, and certainly not in this way.
We’ve called these “Impostor Footwear” because, at first glance, they appear to be boots masquerading as shoes – or possibly vice versa – but that’s not quite right, because these are actually just your common or garden “boots with a whopping great hole in the front”. You know, a hole through which to expose your foot from heel to almost-toe. These will keep your feet more-or-less covered on one side, but will leave the instep almost totally exposed, which we guess will probably be the appeal for some people.
Are you one of them? Do these appeal to you? If so, you can get them at Browns, where they’re £545.

We’ve been featuring a lot of expensive, designer handbags as Handbag of the Week recently, so here’s one from the opposite end of the price scale. This vintage-look shoulder bag from ASOS is only £21.95, and, as you would imagine for that price, it’s not real leather, but we think it’s pretty cute nonetheless. This is actually bigger than it looks in the picture above, and while it still won’t hold a huge amount of stuff, at least it’ll look good on your shoulder.

As you can see from the image above, River Island "love this". And actually, we kinda love it too: there are two words in the title that are guaranteed to attract Fashion Police attention in a good way – those words being "belted" and "structured" – and we're also keen on the fold-down collar and tulip skirt. What we're not so keen on is the fact that this is now only available in sizes 10 and 12 onthe River Island website, so if you like it and you're not one of those sizes, you'll have to try your luck in store.

We reckon the world would be a more interesting place if everyone in it wore Rick Owens footwear. We’re not necessarily saying it would be a more stylish place, of course, but hey, it would be fun to look at! Like, maybe there could be a National Wear Rick Owens Footwear Day, where everyone would walk around in those Hidden Sandals we showed you a few weeks ago, or these fold over buckle boots  , which are £855 at Browns.
No? You don’t fancy it? Browns say these would be “perfect with cropped skinnies for day” – do you concur? Would you wear them at all?

It's well established that harem pants are Public Enemy # 2 as far as The Fashion Police are concerned (Public Enemy # 1 : Crocs) so, as you can imagine, this is a particularly busy time for us as we struggle to arrest all of the harem crimes we find around the web.
Rather than bring you news of each new drop crotch crime as it happens, however, we thought we'd just round 'em all up and dump them in the same place. That place we call The Harem Hall of Shame, and here are just a few of its inmates. These aren't necessarily the WORST harem pants we've ever seen, they're just the latest – remember, harem pant crimes are on the rise, and if you see one it's your duty to report it to The Fashion Police!
