Style on Trial: Emanuel Ungaro ‘Very Hot’ strappy shoes

emanuel ungaro strappy shoe1 Style on Trial: Emanuel Ungaro ‘Very Hot’ strappy shoes

The words ‘Very Hot’ in the title of this post are Emanuel Ungaro’s, not ours. We’re… not sure about these shoes. In fact, we’re not really sure about ANYTHING produced by a brand that calls Lindsay Lohan its “creative director”. That scares us a little if we’re totally honest.

But back to the shoes. Anything that describes itself as “Very Hot” seems like it’s just desperate to be challenged on that assessment, and so we ask you: ARE these shoes Very Hot? Or are they just very… not?

Wouldn’t this make a fabulous ‘Evil Queen’ costume?

Seriously, all you’d need would be a poisoned apple, and you’d be good to go.

Well, that and £7,360, of course. As an added bonus, though, at least you could take along the price tag as an added prop. That’d really scare people.

Spotted! Katy Perry in a muppet-print dress

Katy Perry

Katy Perry has certainly managed to make her mark on Paris Fashion Week this year. She’s appeared at almost all of the shows, sometimes with new boyfriend Russel Brand in tow, and now here she is wearing a muppet print dress. It’s certainly very Katy’, but unfortunately her breasts don’t seem to agree – they look like they’re desperately trying to escape here, perhaps for Fear of being associated with this dress?

Sorry, girls, it’s too late, we already spotted you. You’ll just have to hope Katy decides to free you soon…

Oh dear. It’s almost as if Lily Cole looked at herself in the mirror on the morning of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus premiere, and thought, “Crap, I’m too good looking to be taken seriously as an actress. I need to play things down. I know! I’ll throw on some kind of tent! And maybe some sheer black tights, worn with white, open-toed shoes! That’ll work.”

Dress Like a Toddler Trend claims further victims: Opening Ceremony’s Max Suit

adult onesie max suit Dress Like a Toddler Trend claims further victims: Opening Ceremony’s Max Suit

We’ve made no secret of the fact that we don’t really get the whole “Dress Like a Toddler” trend, or why adults would want to dress up as ickle wickle bunny wabbits and the like  – even in the privacy of their own homes.

When the adults in question are prepared to pay $610 for their onesies, we’re even more confused: and the fact that this one is sold out at Opening Ceremony conforms, that yes, there are people willing to do exactly that.

The mind boggles.

Oh no! Don’t you just HATE it when you go to the bathroom and walk out with a piece of loo roll tucked into your knickers?

No wonder this poor model looks grumpy…

Would you buy a $1,125 Rodarte Living Dead doll?

rodarte doll Would you buy a $1,125 Rodarte Living Dead doll?
Rodarte have made a collection of three dolls, all dressed in tiny versions of clothes by the label – look, this one’s wearing the famous cobweb tights from the Spring/Summer 2008 collection.
These dolls cost $1,125, so are presumably aimed at the serious collector only. Ahem. Would you buy one, though? If you would, head over to Colette, and have your credit card at the ready…
