Um….we did this when I was a kid some thirty years ago. For the truly “accidentally on purpose” look I think she needs to apply a few carefully placed globs of “Pinch me Pink” nail polish for the appearance that she at least *tried* to stop the runs.
All that’s old is new again. Care to pogo?

Hmm, I think I like it. Kind of…edgy, y’know?

I actually like ripped thights but not with that kind of dress and jacket…

Proper punk-style ripped tights should be ripped all over (and preferably layered), not just badly laddered over the knee – all that’s missing here is the grazes…

They can work if you can pull them off. Peaches can. It just takes the confidence to say, “Look at my badass-ness.”

I’m actually a fan of Peaches. Ripped tights can work if you want a punky vibe, but they have to ripped artfully, so it looks edgy and not like your cat gave it a go. What I’m wondering is where is Peaches’ bottoms for her top!?

Come on guys. All the cool kids are doing it!
(I am not one of those cool kids I prefer my tights prim and proper)

You think she accidentally laddered her tights in the cab on her way to the airport, so grabbed her nailfile and tried to make it look like a deliberate fashion statement?

I don’t actually think Peaches pulls it off. The rest of her outfit looks too prim.

Who is Peaches Geldof, anyway? And as for the ripped tights, i aproove, as long as the general look is punk/rock
