![Spl88366 009[1] Style on Trial: Geri Halliwell at the premiere of The Boat That Rocked](http://www.thefashionpolice.net/images/6a00d8341c873353ef01156e4f7c4a970c.jpg "Spl88366_009[1]")
Geri Halliwell caused a bit of stir when she wore this little gold mini dress to the London premiere of The Boat That Rocked earlier this week.
The Sun, for instance, thought Geri looked just a little bit desperate in the outfit, saying: "That dress screams: “I AM BACK ON THE MARKET, CHAT ME UP. I’M NOT DESPERATE, HONEST.”
Other commentators, however, were a little kinder, saying she looked glowing and gorgeous and totally stole the show.
We have a bit of a soft spot for Geri, so we think she looks pretty good here, but what do you think, readers? Love it or loathe it?

This week's Wear or Die was inspired by Fashion Police reader Molly, who suggested we force our readers to dress up like Cher – or die.
"Well, why the hell not?" we thought. And so it is that today you find yourselves in the unenviable position of choosing between one of the two Oscar night fashions above. Neither are outfits for the faint-hearted, but what if you HAD to wear one of them – or die? Which one would you choose?
The outfit on the left may look initially more frightening, but the one on the right reveals much more skin. Just to level out the playing field a little, we're going to allow you to ditch the hat/wig/whatever the hell that thing is shown in picture one. Don't say we're not good to you.
What's it going to be, then, readers: which outfit will you wear – or die!

Oh, what a tragedy! An Ugly Prom Dress that wouldn't even be an Ugly Prom Dress but for one tiny detail: the belly button hole.
Now, it's our contention that belly buttons have no place at prom. None at all. This dress, however, makes the belly button the centrepiece of the whole outfit, ringing it with rhinestones as if to say "Look! A belly button! Betchya never saw one of these bad boys before!" Yes, it's all about the bellybutton here, and the overall effect is to make the model look like she needed emergency keyhole surgery, and the surgeon didn't have time to remove the dress first.
For this reason, and this reason alone, this dress has earned it's place in the Ugly Prom Dress parade. And it could've been so, so easily avoided…
[Thanks to Jacey for the report!]

Builder's butt. It's one of the most heinous of fashion crimes, but luckily for us, it's a crime that tends only to be committed by actual builders. Oh, and by reality TV "stars", obviously.
Now, however, it's also being committed by models in Hussein Chalayan's Fall 09 fashion show. These aren't their real butts, of course: they're fake ones. But somehow we don't think that's going to get them off the hook if they ever find themselves facing the Fashion Police jury, do you?

We spotted this dress over at Fashion Me Fabulous, where they thought it looked a little bit like Miu Miu S/S 08. We totally agree, and we think it's a little more wearable – and, dare we say it, cuter, than some of the dresses Miu Miu showed with that collection. It's the green: we can never resist the green…
If you can't either, this is $118 from Macy's.

You know that hairy back you've aways wanted, folks? What do you mean, "no"? You MUST want a hairy back, surely? Otherwise, why would Christopher Kane go to all of the trouble of creating one on this monkey dress of his?
As well as allowing your back to look hairy, this £1,605 dress will also make you look like your torso is being eaten by a giant monkey. You know, just like you've always wanted.
Whaddya think, readers? Refreshingly quirky and humorous, or just the kind of monkey business you'd rather leave well alone? (Buy it here, if you love it…)

OK, is anyone else just seeing a pair of reasonably plain black knickers here? And, ok, they're silk, but still… doesn't really make us want to pay £100/ $144 for them.
And yet, these are sold out at Net-a-Porter, so it seems we have a mystery on our hands: The Mystery of the Expensive-Yet-Ordinary Bloomers.
Can you help us solve it, readers? Can you enlighten us as to why these might be worth paying £100 for? We'd love to be able to close this case…
