We're thinking of changing the name of this column to Jumpsuit or Die, purely because we're fairly certain that even if we live to be 100 years old, we still won't have time to round up all of the hideous jumpsuits that are drawn to our attention.
Today we bring you two creations that we think would make good choices for the Fashion Police prison uniforms. We must look into that. On the left, a denim jumpsuit by Alexander Wang, modelled by someone who was too ashamed to show her face. On the right, meanwhile, a denim jumpsuit from ASOS, modelled by, um, Rihanna.*
You, readers, must wear one of these jumpsuits or die. So, which one will you choose?
*Note: not really.

Forever 21 say they added the lace bra to this t-shirt to give it an “avant garde” look. And, you know what? We’re getting pretty tired of seeing designers and brands try to sell us any old rubbish by trying to tell us it’s “edgy” or “unconventional”. Look, it’s a t-shirt with a bra fastened over the top. You know, like one of the t-shirts and one of the bras you probably already own? So while you COULD give Forever 21 $28 for this “avant garde” look of theirs, you could ALSO just do-it-yourself and save your money.
Or – and we understand this may not seem “edgy” enough for some of you, but bear with us – you COULD just wear your bra UNDER your shirt, and not look like someone who got dressed in the dark. Up to you.

Are those breasts WINKING at us? OK, we don't want to freak anyone out here, but we're pretty sure they are. As many a fashion criminal knows, though, flirting with the Fashion Police gets you nowhere (although bribes sometimes work, depending on what they are…), and we suspect the current trend for body parts on clothing could well constitute a fashion crime.
French Connection have already brought us the 'Hands' dress so far this season, and presumably the thinking here is that if you already have hands on your waist, hey, you may as well have eyes on your boobs, no? It's definitely ONE way to guarantee the girls will get lots of attention, of course, but do you WANT them to? If you do, the Lashes sweater is £65 from French Connection.

OK, is anyone else seeing an Alice band with a couple of ears and a bit of lace stuck to it?
Can someone explain what the OTHER £260 is for here?
Or, indeed, where you'd actually WEAR such an item? Disney themed funerals?
Your input would be appreciated: The Fashion Police are very confused by this development. Oh, and in case you're wondering, here's what it looks like on:

It's been a while since we last watched two celebrities slug it out in a round of Star Style Wars, so today we've put Angelina Jolie and Diane Kruger into the ring in a bid to find out who was the best dressed at the Inglorious Basterds L.A. premiere this week.
Both women wore black to the event, but they went for very different styles, with Angelina in black leather Michael Kors number, while Diane chose Atelier Versace, and lots and lots of texture.
Who's the winner of the Star Style War, though? Only you can decide…

The Fashion Police detective squad need your help to identify this mystery fashion item, folks. It’s been accused of committing crimes against fashion, but before we can decide whether to convict or acquit, we have to first of all decide just what the hell it IS.
Think you know? Leave your guess in the comments section, and remember to check back later for the answer!
EDIT: The answer has now been posted under the jump!
