What to Wear to a Winter Wedding, Part 2
Style on Trial: Dita Von Teese’s pink ruffled amfAR dress
Dita Von Teese
As regular readers will know, Dita Von Teese is more or less the unofficial Patron Saint of the Fashion Police. This is a women who once wore jeans and sneakers to a Halloween party because it was the most “un-her” outfit she could think of, and who recently said she wouldn’t wear Crocs for $10 million, so you can see why we like her.
It came as a shock – and an unpleasant one – then, for us to stumble upon this photo of Dita in a dress we don’t actually love. It’s very pink. It’s very shiny. It almost works, but then… we’re just not sure.
We wouldn’t throw Dita in jail without a fair trial, though, so we turn to you, ladies and gentlemen of the jury: is this a hit or a miss?

Case Closed: Sophie Monk has a nipple slip in a monokini
All summer we asked the question: who on earth would wear those vaguely pornographic looking monokinis all the stores seem to be flogging right now? Other than Lady Gaga and Paris Hilton, obviously.
Well, it took a few months, but at last we have the answer: Sophie Monk would wear them.
And yes, her nipple DID pop out of the suit. Gosh, would’ve thought THAT would happen, eh?

Fashion Boobs: How not to wear Foley + Corinna’s see-through chiffon top
Apparently there was no way for Shopbop to illustrate the see-through nature of this Foley + Corinna top, other than making the model wear it with totally bare breasts underneath, and then Photoshopping out her nipples. No bras, no cami tops, no undergarments of any kind that would’ve allowed us to see that the top was sheer without making the poor girl look like a particularly scary Barbie. Because nipples are NOT ACCEPTABLE, but naked Barbie boobs are totally fine, apparently.
Modelling: it’s not nearly as glamorous as it looks, you know.
(Also: since they’ve yet to invent Photoshop for real life, we’d advise anyone contemplating buying this top NOT to try this look in public. Please.)

We had a huge response to our What to Wear to a Winter Wedding challenge last week, so the results posts are going to be a little longer than usual! And with that said, let’s get on with the serious business of showing you the outfits: here’s what our readers suggested they’d wear to a winter wedding: anyone planning on getting married this year?

Sock Horror! Black grunge laddered tights from Miss Selfridge
Nope, it’s no good: we’ve tried (not that hard, though, admittedly) but we just can’t get on board with the whole “pre-laddered” tights thing. Especially not when it’s taken to the extent of the pair shown above: they’re £8 from Miss Selfridge, but if you wanted to save money, you could always just find a spool of thread and wrap some of that around your legs instead.
Even if we DID like this look, the thought of pale blue flesh, mottled with the cold, peeping through the “threads” would be more than enough to make us want to throw these in jail – probably while saying something like, “Ooh, you’ll catch your death in those, young lady!”
What do you think, readers? Will you be embracing tights-that-are-barely-tights-at-all this season, and handing over your cash for hosiery that looks like it’s seen better days? If you will be, you can buy these ones here.

Daisy Lowe wears leopard print pants to Dolce & Gabbana
Daisy Lowe
There’s always someone, isn’t there? Always someone who takes the runway looks literally and thinks it’s totally fine to walk around in a pair of leopard print ‘Bridget Jones’ knickers. Sigh.
This week the person in question is Daisy Lowe, who turned up to the Dolce & Gabbana show at Milan Fashion Week looking like one of those nightmares where you suddenly realise you’re out in public in your underwear, and then the Fashion Police show up, and next thing you know you’re thanking the Lord you wore your fake fur with the big knickers, because it’s pretty cold in them cells…

Save or Splurge: Grey dresses by Victoria Beckham and French Connection
These two dresses aren’t exactly the same, but then, with a £2,000 price difference, you wouldn’t really expect them to be, would you?
The dress on the right is by Victoria Beckham, and is currently out of stock at Net-a-Porter, which just goes to show that, yes, there are people in the world who would pay that much for a dress.
The dress on the left, meanwhile, isn’t exactly “bargain basement” at £95, but as we said, it does represent a £2,000 saving on the original, so could be a slightly more realistic option for those of you looking to get the same look on a non-Beckham budget. It’s from French Connection.
Which would you choose, though, assuming you’d choose either? Would you save or splurge?
