We hesitated over this one, really we did. You see, the £1,180 price tag made us turn as green as the dress, but the fact is: we love it, and you can't help what you love, can you? We love the combination of red and green (who says they should never be seen?), the suggestion of an hourglass shape, and the little fold over peaks on the neckline, which don't really show up on this picture, but which are there, trust us. If it was a little – or, OK, a LOT – cheaper, we'd be all over this, so we couldn't not make it our Dress of the Day. It's by Felipe Oliviera Baptista, and you can buy it at Browns.
Please, Gods of the High Street, make a budget version of this? We promise to be really, really good…
Oh, now that’s just GREAT: we’re going to have “Eye of the Tiger” stuck in our heads ALL DAY now.
“Risin’ up, back on the street Did my time, took my chances Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet Just a model and her will to wear ugly prom dresses…”
This dress is by Jovani, and can be purchased here for $485. It’s funny because, just last week, someone commented on an ancient Ugly Prom Dress post about another Jovani dress, saying that we’re not allowed to dislike Jovani dresses because, OMG, it’s JOVANI, its, like, the BEST LABEL EVER, and that, clearly the only reason we would claim not to like any of their dresses* is because we just can’t afford such sophistication.
To this, all we can say is: damn, yeah, you totally nailed us, anonymous commenter! If we could only scrape together the princely sum of $485, we would totally be wearing this dress right now. Like, totally. Well, wouldn’t everyone?
[Thanks to Elle for the report!]
* We don’t dislike ALL Jovani dresses, by the way. Just the ones that look like this.
This is a trend that's been growing for a while now, with designers like Alexander McQueen probably the main perpetrators. This week, though, we've noticed a veritable explosion of Union Jack print. Seriously, it's like the flag just threw up all over the high street, and, as you would probably expect, Topshop is leading the charge there, with everything from leggings to handbags emblazoned with the print. (It's even cropping up in soft furnishings, as Keeping It Realtor can testify.)
The use of the Union Jack in fashion is obviously nothing new, but what do you think of its current popularity surge, encouraged by the likes of Agyness Deyn and co? Is it something you'd wear?
First up, we'd just like to say that it was not The Fashion Police who ruthlessly chopped off the top of the head of the model above, it was ASOS themselves. Sorry, model!
Second up: There are lots of differences between the two pairs of trousers seen here: in fact, the only real similarity is that they're both red, and they're both cropped. Personally, we much prefer the narrow legs and flat front of the ASOS versions on the left, which are more streamlined, with a bit of a pin-up girl vibe. That said, we'd kinda prefer the length of the Jil Sander pants on the right, which also look a little more comfortable.
If money was no option, which would you choose? Would you Save or Splurge?
We think the wet-look dress is poised to become the new harem pant. By that we don't mean it'll make you look like you waited too long before finding a bathroom – just that although the stores seem to be full to bursting with these at the moment, we've yet to see anyone actually wearing one. Maybe we're just hanging out in the wrong places? Or the right places, depending on how you look at it?
New Look have just brought out this wet-look peplum dress in black and pink. We're not sure which is worse, to be honest. We think probably the pink. Neither are going to be particularly forgiving on, obviously (time to renew that gym membership, apparently), but while the black could almost work as part of a kind of punky/rocky/trashy look, the pink just makes us wonder if Mattel are thinking of bringing out a Porn Star Barbie. Because if so, this is exactly what she'd wear. Probably with those clear platforms with the massive heels. You know the ones we mean.
If you're going to buy one of these, they're just £20, but we'd advise wearing with extreme caution. Or you'll end up getting a caution – from The Fashion Police, obviously.
To round off Friday and take us into the weekend, here's a quick look at what the stars wore this weekend, kicking off with little Miley Cyrus, who made us feel thoroughly ashamed of the fact that we spent our own teenage years looking like some of the fashion criminals we arrest. (Cops are always the worst, aren't they?) at the London premiere of 'Hannah Montana: The Movie'. It's a rather grown up look for a 16-year-old, of course, but there's no denying, she looks great.
A simple, yet stunning, way to turn a basic, short-sleeved black dress into something guaranteed to have us reaching for the Fashion Police credit card. Modcloth, we should hate you for placing temptation in our way like this, but we just have to love you for it, instead.
So, every day at the moment, Lady Gaga wears something that forces us to arrest her. Every. Single. Day.
Our question to you is this: do you want us to continue showing you every noteworthy outfit Gaga deems suitable for wearing out in public, or would you prefer us to just accept that this is the way she rolls, and quietly keep on popping her back in jail when it's deserved? We don't want want Our Lady of the Multiple Fashion Crimes to take over the site, you see, but we don't want to deprive you of the images either, if you really want to see each and every one of them.
What do you think? You'll find a handy poll under the jump (plus a view of this particular outfit from the back)…
