This dress costs $14,895. Oh, and 92 cents. Don’t forget the 92 cents.
Our question: is it worth it, do you think? If you were very rich, would you buy it?
An easier question:

Neiman Marcus inform us that tie-dyed jeans are “one of the hottest trends in denim” this winter. Now, generally speaking, almost ANY incidence of the phrase “tie dye” sets a special alarm ringing at the Fashion Police HQ, causing us to drop whatever we’re doing and take to the streets to hunt down the culprit, but if Neiman Marcus says this is “hot”, well…
We’re actually far from convinced that they’re right on this occasion – in other words, we hate this look – but it’s Friday afternoon and we’re in a forgiving mood, so we’re going to turn this one over to you, our readers.
Do you like these tie-dyed jeans? Would you wear them? If you would, you can find them all here.

Ooh, look, an ankle boot! That’s nice. Wonder what it looks like from the other side?
Whoops, our mistake! We must’ve somehow uploaded a picture of a strappy sandals by mistake. Or … wait:

“Trench leather jacket” said the product description. “Nothing wrong with that,” we thought (well, slightly awkward grammar aside). “OK, so it’s a bit Last Days of the Gestapo, but if you’re into that kind of thing…”
Then we took a closer look, and you know, we think there’s some kind of cover up going on here: this so-called “trench jacket” has legs, you see, and last we checked, jackets didn’t generally have legs. Can you imagine how inconvenient it would be if they did? What would you wear underneath them? How would you get them on over a skirt or dress?
No, we suspect this “trench jacket” of being a jumpsuit in disguise – and not a very good disguise either, it has to be said. If you disagree, however, it’s a whopping £3951.20 from Luisa Via Roma.

This week’s Style Challenge will call for a little more creativity than usual, as rather than giving you a particular item to style, we’re going to ask you to help us answer one of the questions we get asked most often by our readers: What to wear to a winter wedding?
As usual with our Style Challenges, you can use Polyvore to put together your outfits: the only difference is that rather than us telling YOU what to wear, you can tell us, using any items you like. For the purposes of the game, we’ll assume that the wedding you’re attending is a traditional church wedding, being held during the winter. What would you wear? Post your Polyvore links in the comments to let us know!
P.S. You’re dressing as a guest, by the way, not as the bride!

Our Fraud Squad is most often called in to deal with cases of high street brands copying designers – sorry, we mean “being inspired” by them – but sometimes it’s more a case of “high street copies inspired by high street”, as you can see above.
We showed you Topshop’s ‘Cosmic’ shoulder dress on Kim Kardashian a few weeks ago, and did a double-take when we spotted what we thought was the same dress at Ark Clothing this week. We still can’t really spot the difference between these two, but there is a difference in price, at least: the Topshop dress is £38, while the Ark version is less than half that, at £16.99.

It’s hard to believe it, but September is already drawing to a close, so we’d imagine most of you (in the Northern Hemisphere at least) are probably starting to dig out your winter fashions, if you haven’t already.
What’s on your fashion wish lists for this year, though? At the moment, The Fashion Police are lusting after…
