Well, this isn’t exactly the kind of thing we’ve come to associate with the makers of the famous Jackie O dress, is it now? In fact, we think we can confidently predict that Jackie O wouldn’t have touched this with a pointy stick, given that it’s essentially just a leather bra with a skirt stuck to the bottom of it and, well, that wasn’t exactly her signature style.
Jackie O may not have worn it, then, but what we really want to know is, would YOU? Does Black Halo’s Blair dress tick all your boxes, or are you, like us, thinking this looks exactly like the product of a classic “out without your top on” nightmare?
We actually meant to bring you the results of our Best Dressed of the Week poll yesterday, but life got in the way, and by that we mean “We were so distracted by the sight of those bizarre penguin pants that we totally forgot about it”: forgive us.
Today, though, we can reveal that the winner of the Best Dressed of the Week award goes to Kim Kardashian, who wore this stunning red Georges Hobeika dress to a gala in L.A. last week. Kim was actually our favourite of last week’s celebrities, too, so all we can say to that is, “good work, folks.”
As for the Worst Dressed award, well, it was actually a three-way tie, with January Jones, Calista Flockhart and Molly Sims all failing to receive a single vote. Kim takes the gold star, then: we’re afraid it’s handcuffs for the other three…
Wear these, and we almost guarantee people will throw fish at you. Of course, you’ll walk funny: a bit like a penguin in fact. But just think of all the fish!
We were trying to think of an appropriate way to end the sentence in the title: you know, like “What not to wear to a wedding”, or “what not to wear to a job interview” or whatever.
Then we realised that, actually? The sentence stands alone. This outfit is the perfect example of what not to wear: EVER.
If you disagree and can think of the perfect occasion to wear this, then:
The inverted commas in the title are there for a reason.
We hesitate to describe this as Daylight Robbery, because we have absolutely no idea how much work goes into creating something like this: it could take magical unicorns three years to create each garment for all we know. (We really hope so.)
We will take issue with the word “sweater”, though. That’s no “sweater”, Colette. That’s a pair of sleeves held together with thread…
We thought we’d do something a little different with this week’s celebrity fashion roundup, and have you vote on the most stylish outfit of the week just gone.
Now, in doing this, we want to stress that we’ve not gone to any particular effort to select what we think were the best outfits of the week, here: in fact, we’re just going to show you them all, and by asking you to vote for your favourite, we’ll also be able to arrive at a conclusion on who your least favourite was, too.
You’ll find a poll under the jump, but we’re going to be mean and keep the results to ourselves until Monday, when you can check back to find out who the winner is. Have fun!
