Lady Gaga’s hair bow: now you can buy one too!

Lady gaga hair bow Lady Gagas hair bow: now you can buy one too!

We’re sure there are ways to create Lady Gaga’s “Look! I tied my hair in a bow!” hairdo using your actual hair, but because we’re too lazy to try it, and also because, well, we don’t really want to, we’ve tracked down this store which sells the hair bows ready-made, and in a whole range of colours and sizes.

Prices start at $18.85 for the smallest size, and they’re hand-tied from hair extensions. We guess the only question remaining then is, would you go for the Lady Gaga look, and wear a bow made out of (fake) hair? If you would, you can get yours here.

What Not to Wear to the Beach: the Bow Bikini

Bow bikini What Not to Wear to the Beach: the Bow Bikini

We'd arrest this model for being an accessory to a crime of fashion, but seriously, would YOU mess with her? She's all, "SO? You wanna make something of this? You wanna comment on my BOW BIKINI? Come on, I dare yas!"

And we're all, "Er, no, no my good woman. You just keep right on standing there and don't move a muscle. No, seriously, we said don't move a muscle. Because unless you've already anchored that thing with some serious tit tape, that's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen right there."

This criminal was reported to us on Friday afternoon, by Fashion Police reader Katie. Katie, we didn't get much sleep this weekend after seeing this, but thanks for the report, anyway!

(Note: what makes this whole thing worse, is that the bow – which this site describes as a "bikini top" is NOT INCLUDED. And seriously, can you imagine what it would look like wothout it?!)

Fashion Police Fraud Squad: Forever 21 Vs Doctor Martens

Dr martens forever 21 Fashion Police Fraud Squad: Forever 21 Vs Doctor Martens

Want to dress like Agyness Deyn, but don;t want to fork out for a pair of Doctor Martens that you know you’ll only wear a couple of times before they’re back out of fashion?

Never fear, Forever 21 have come to the rescue, with their take on the famous lace-up boots. And they’re only charging $24.80 for them.

Now, clearly this isn’t going to appeal to Doc devotees, because while the originals will probably outlive you, the Forever 21 versions… probably won’t. No, let’s be honest, they just won’t. And it’s just not very punk to shop in Forever 21, is it?

So these are obviously aimed at those of you who just want to wear this style for as long as it’s in fashion. With the Doctor Martens not exactly outrageously expensive, at around £60, though, you may just prefer to go for the real thing, if pink patent lace-ups just happen to be on your shopping list.

Are they?

Well, CAN you? We're going to go out on a limb here and guess that, yes, we probably can. The boots, though, we might have a harder time living without.

What about you?

Style Challenge: What to wear with shoulder pads?

Shoulder pads Style Challenge: What to wear with shoulder pads?

Time for another Style Challenge!

This year, slightly bizarrely, has turned out to be the year of huge shoulders, whether they be padded, puffed, or otherwise emphasized. This shirt from River Island is a good example of The New Shoulders - it's more Balmain than Dynasty, and it looks like the shoulders are inflated by clever sewing, rather than by the insertion of actual pads.

What would you wear with it, though? Well, this is your challenge, should you choose to accept it: use Polyvore to build an outfit around this shirt, and post a link to it in the comments. You'll find the rules of the game under the jump!

Fashion Police Fraud Squad: Julien MacDonald does Lanvin’s one-shouldered leopard print dress

Lanvin leopard print Fashion Police Fraud Squad: Julien MacDonald does Lanvins one shouldered leopard print dress

On the right, Lanvin's $2,000 leopard print dress from last season (and now sold out). On the left, Julien MacDonald's animal print dress from his range for Debenhams, coming in at a much less expensive £60.

We wouldn't call this dress a "copy", because it's not (the colour are different for one thing), but it does represent a much cheaper way to get that Lanvin look, should you want it. Buy it here.

Polka dot top Budget Buy: Polka Dot Sweetheart Top from Forever 21

A nice little pick-me-up as we head into the weekend, for those of us who don't want to spend too much money to look fabulous! This little polka dot top from Forever 21 has a real retro look about it which naturally appeals to The Fashion Police, given our love of all things retro, but which is a little bit cheaper than most reproduction clothing.

This would look great with a pair of capri pants or a pencil skirt, but will look equally good with jeans, shorts or anything else. And it's only $15.80. Bargain!
