Sometimes celebrities make The Fashion Police’s job much too easy.
Seriously, there’s really a lot that we could say about this photo, and about Taylor Momsen’s emerging, er, “fashion” style in general. Things like “trashy”, “hooker”, “where the hell are her parents?” and “Lindsay Lohan” spring to mind. But let’s face it: you were thinking those things already, weren’t you?
Taylor, honey? We know you probably think you’re being “ironic” or something. But you’re dressed like a hooker. And you’re 16. The best tip we can give you, then, is this one: put some clothes on. Before the real police catch up with you…
Is it any surprise we start at Chanel? Hemlines were demure, but jewelry was hardcore. Hardware mixed with crystals, pearls and multi-colored jewels, and draped chains of various length and link size for a super eclectic stacked look we adore. It looks like models stuck their arms into a treasure chest in one of the exotic locales that inspired Lagerfeld’s brocade tapestry chic.
Valentino showed us these fairytale gloves along with a surprisingly wearable collection heavy on the daytime dresses in mid-century silhouettes. Here, hemlines were short and looks were lush. The bows studding these arm-spanning stunners are representative of the collection – bows were everywhere in all shapes and sizes. Even on another, much shorter pair of gloves seen with a selection of Valentino’s shoes over on Shoeperwoman.
We also saw bows tying up waists at the Christian Dior show. But we’re more interested in the pretty pumps grounding the stems of Dior’s beautiful blooms. The ankle-strap silhouette seen above along with a multi-strap stiletto were shown in saturated hues of red, teal, pink, red, white, purple and orange.
Fishnet stockings with an Eiffel Tower embellishment up the back. Need we really say more about Jean Paul Gaultier’s Parisian touch? Amour.
Did we miss anything? What accessories did you love at Couture?
Yes, your Fairy Godmother Fashion Police Officers have waved our magic wands, and tonight we’re taking you all out to the fanciest ball you can imagine. And what’s more, we’ve scored you a couple of couture gowns to wear too, courtesy of Givenchy. The only tiny problem? It’s the two dresses pictured above. And if you don’t choose one of them to wear to the ball? Well, you die. Them’s the breaks.
Which dress will you choose, then, assuming that you must wear one, or die? Tell us in the comments!
Well, Lady Gaga is going to just love these, isn’t she? The lace-covered ones, especially, because as we all know, if it’s strange-looking AND fails to fulfill the purpose it was made for, that’s a definite win on the “fashion-is-art-and-don’t-you-forget-it” front.
Of course, we’re just assuming it would be difficult to see through a layer of lace. Maybe it isn’t. Maybe you’re supposed to wear them on your head, rather than over your eyes. Maybe you’re only supposed to wear them in an ironic way. Who knows. What we do know is the the lace-covered glasses from the image above are £220 at Browns, the paint-spattered ones next to them are £280, and the pearl and chain trimmed glasses are £260 and £250 respectively.
We know Halloween is still a long way away, but if you’re hoping to get ahead of the crowd and dress up as Lady Gaga this year, here are some costume ideas from the good lady’s fans, many of whom dressed up as their idol for a concert in New York last week. As you can can see, The Fashion Police got in on the act too, but only in the name of fun…
Cigarette sunglasses? Check. Coke can hair rollers? Check. Miles and miles of crime-scene tape? Yup, we’ve got that too, so take a look at our gallery for more Lady Gaga-inspired fancy dress!
