Marc jacobs runway ankle bo Frankenshoes: Marc Jacobs Runway ankle boots

These Marc Jacobs ankle boots were described as "elf dominatrix shoes" by the Shoeperwoman readers, and, disturbingly, that's an image we just can't get out of our minds now. Urgh.

Elvish or not, we just can't bring ourselves to love the turned-up toes on these, or, indeed, the $845 price tag. If you think you can, however – or if you actually DO have toes that particular shape – you can buy them at Saks.

Style on Trial: Balmain one-shoulder ruffle sequin mini dress

Balmain sequin dress Style on Trial: Balmain one shoulder ruffle sequin mini dress

This dress has been catching our eye at Louisa Via Roma for a couple of weeks now, and, of course, that's exactly what it's supposed to do. But is this dress a Crime of Fashion, we wonder?

The Case for the Prosecution: For reasons the prosecution can't quite put their fingers on, there's something vaguely reptilian about this dress. And the huge ruffle on the shoulder makes it look like something the Lizard Queen would wear in some kind of freaky sci-fi movie in which alien reptiles come to earth, wearing Balmain.

The Case for the Defence: It's a statement-making, eye-catching extravaganza that no one will be able to ignore. Ever.

What do you think, readers? Do you think Balmain's sequin ruffle dress should be convicted or acquitted of committing crimes of fashion?

Mallika Sherawat Under Fashion Police Arrest: Mallika Sherawat at the L.A. premiere of Inglorious Basterds

The Fashion Police hadn't actually heard of Mallika Sherawat until today. Now, however, she will be forever known to us as The Woman We Had to Arrest for Wearing THAT DRESS to the Inglorious Basterds Premiere.

Well, Mallika, we guess that's ONE way to guarantee the attention is on you, rather than on Angelina Jolie. It's just not the RIGHT way…

Disturbing news has reached The Fashion Police (via Shoeperwoman) that another enforcement agency is at work, trying to decide who gets to wear what and when.

This time it's the Trade Union Congress, who have filed a motion proposing that women be required to wear "sensible shoes" at work, with heels more than one inch high being banned. Say what?

Sheer leggings Unsoloved Mysteries: Warrior Two Leggings by Delphine Murat

Crime Report filed by: Officer Sarah

Alleged Offence: The accused are deemed to be sheer pants – a.k.a. "shants" of the legging variety. They're also accused of having a bright blue trim, to add to the ugly factor.

Scene of Crime: eDressMe

Fashion Police Comments: The big mystery here, we feel, isn't so much the fact that sheer leggings with a mystifying blue trim exist. No, it's the fact that they cost $150. WHY?

Verdict: Guilty as charged.
