The Emperor’s New Vein Embroidered Tube Top, by Dsquared
Just in case you’re offended by the sight of naked breasts (or are at work) we’ve covered up this model’s nipples for you, and if you particularly want to stare at her breasts, you’ll have to do it over at Luisa Via Roma.
If, on the other hand, you’re offended by $320 tops that are completely transparent, save for a “look, here are my veins” design, well, there’s not a whole lot we can about that, other than to reassure you that this top, by Dsquared, is at least not supposed to be worn without anything over the top of it, but more like this:
So, what do you think? We’re happy to know we won’t have to arrest it on grounds of sheer (geddit?) indecency, but do we still have to arrest it on the grounds of being an item which contrives to make you look like you have freakishly veiny arms? Or does that just make it totally awesome and unique?
You decide.

Designer Vs High Street: Polka dot dresses by Giambattista Valli & Oasis
Our Fraud Squad officers took a long, hard look at these two dresses, but ultimately decided there were just enough differences between them to keep Oasis on the right side of the law.
With that said, there are a lot of similarities between them, too. Giambattista Valli’s polka dot dress was a Dress of the Day back in February, and comes with a waist belt and ruffled sleeves. Oasis’s ruffle spot print dress, meanwhile, is new for Spring/Summer 2010, and comes with… a waist belt and ruffled sleeves.
Lots of similarities, then, a few points of difference, and, overall, a great, designer-inspired bargain for anyone who loved this style. Which do you prefer?

Style Stealer: Victoria Beckham’s bright yellow Goat dress
Known for her dressed-up flying style, here’s Victoria Beckham arriving in Cannes this week, wearing a bright yellow mini dress by Goat, and beige-coloured stilettos. Victoria also has a new, longer hairstyle.
This dress is actually something of a “bargain” for the label-loving Beckham – it’s £270 at Matches.

Spotted! Maggie Gyllenhaal wears Yves Saint Laurent to fragrance launch
Maggie Gyllenhaal wore a pink strapless Yves Saint Laurent dress to the launch of Belle D’Opium, by the same designer. This seems like one of those perfect summer dresses that can be worn to both casual and dressier occasions, and it suits Gyllenhaal well. The sweetheart neckline and gathered fabric create a really flattering line. While we hear the perfume is a bit overbearing, this dress is chic and subtle.
What do you think?

Kristen Stewart gets a new look (or a new hair style at least)
Kristen Stewart turned up at Letterman last night looking a little lighter than usual – we refer to her hair colour, of course, not her figure.
Kristen is still working the one-shouldered look she wore to the Twilight Eclipse premiere this week, but this time the dress is black, rather than white. We think the hair really suits her: in fact, the characteristic super-short dress and high heels were the only clue that this was the same person at first glance.
What do you think of Kristen’s new look?
