Joely Richardson looked pale and interesting at The Love Ball last night: we weren’t sure how we felt about the “cape” effect on the shoulders of this dress at first, but the more we look at it, the more we like it, and the slightly vintage feel it brings to the design. Lovely colour too.
Your thoughts?

OK. We get that Isabel Mastache’s designs are “avant-garde”, and therefore not really designed to be worn by the average man in the street, and we think that’s a very good thing indeed, because…

Like Kristen Stewart, Leona Lewis is a celebrity who never really seems to look comfortable in front of the cameras, and it’s a shame, because it means that no matter what she’s wearing, or how good she looks in it, it never quite works. Possibly a lesson to us all to always choose clothes that make us feel good over the ones that just look good.
Wit that said, Leona (or her stylist) has definitely been trying her hardest to make some more interesting choices lately, and we loved what she wore to the Elle Style Awards earlier this week. This dress, however, looks like a space-age 80s bridesmaid’s dress, and we’re really not keen on the colour, so it gets two thumbs down from us. We also can’t look at this image witout wanting to rush over to her and straighten the bodice of that dress. What about you?

The Fashion Police have sometimes struggled to understand the appeal of Peaches Geldof, but we must admit, we think she’s been scrubbing up a little better than usual lately.
Here she is arriving at The Love Ball in London last night, wearing an over-sized blazer, floral prom dress and strappy platform sandals. What do you think?

Plastic rats. On plastic shoes. Is it a marriage made in heaven, do you think, or is it more of a marriage made in the deepest, darkest depths of the Fashion Police jail?
We’re going to go with the latter option. Sorry, ratties – we have nothing against you in real life, but when you’re made of plastic and you’re clinging onto our equally-plastic shoes, we’re probably going to find you pretty easy to resist.
What about you, readers? Want to spend $100 on these? You can do it here.

We’ve been monitoring the fashion activities of British singer Paloma Faith for a while now (Well, it would be pretty hard to ignore her given that she seems to be going out of her way to court attention), and we think we know what’s going on. Paloma is the “quirky” girl. The zany, wacky, girl. Sort of a cross between Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, only with stranger makeup than Katy and less flesh on show than Gaga.
Paloma Faith, then, is the girl who turns up with a giant bird stuck to her shoulder. Or her first initial balanced precariously on her head. She will clash colours with gay abandon, and sometimes it’ll work and sometimes it won’t. We actually quite admire Paloma for her willingness to wear things other women would shy away from, and we have to admit, the girl has some amazing shoes, and quite a nice line in dresses, too – when she’s not trying to distract us from them with loud makeup or a gigantic accessory. And, most importantly, she always looks like she’s having a huge amount of fun, which is what fashion’s all about.
So, what do you think of Paloma Faith’s style? Do you love the fun she has with fashion, or do you think she goes too far over the top?
