Oh dear.

Now, we know celebrities don’t actually buy the clothes they wear on the red carpet: most of them are simply on loan from the designer, and that occasionally means you have to take whatever size is available, even if, as in the case of poor Lea Michele, that size is a couple of sizes larger than the ones you’d normally wear.

We have no idea how she managed to walk in these Louboutins. Her feet must’ve been slipping right out of them every step she took. See, folks, being a celebrity isn’t quite as glamorous as it looks.

Want to see what she wore with them?

Willow sarong shorts: for the ‘full diaper’ look

willow sarong shorts Willow sarong shorts: for the full diaper look

There’s not much we can say about the phenomenon that is the “full diaper” look that we haven’t already said, other than that:

1) It’s still going on. How is this possible? Seriously, who’s buying these things and convincing the designers responsible that taking the Dress Like a Toddler trend to the extreme is a good idea? Is it you? Do you know what you’ve unleashed upon the world, if so?

2) It’s even worse on shorts, isn’t it?

3) $345 to look like this. Amazing.

Celebrity Style on Trial: Leighton Meester at the premiere of ‘Country Strong’

 Celebrity Style on Trial: Leighton Meester at the premiere of Country Strong

This Marc Jacobs dress has been winning huge amounts of praise this week from our fellow fashion bloggers, some of whom have been gushing over the wonder of it since it appeared on Leighton Meester at the premiere of ‘Country Strong’. This reaction has left us scratching our heads and wondering what we’re missing here, because… well, we don’t even really need to explain ourselves, do we? It’s a see-through skirt with a bad case of measles, and our fingers are just itching to rip it off and reveal what looks to be a reasonably nice dress underneath. Before we go ahead and decide that would be the right thing to do, however, we’re going to take a quick straw poll of our readers. What do you think of this? Is it guilty or innocent of commiting crimes of fashion? (To help you decide, there are some more images under the jump) Continue reading

Lipsy’s 70s style jumpsuit: a deliberate wardrobe malfunction

lipst 70s style jumpsuit Lipsys 70s style jumpsuit: a deliberate wardrobe malfunction

It’s not a dress, it’s a jumpsuit. That means there can be no excuses along the lines of, “Oh, but you could wear it over the top of something else!” (We guess you could wear leggings underneath it, but that wouldn’t look a whole lot better, would it?) We just have to accept that this was designed to be worn exactly as it’s shown: looking a bit like one of those “whoops, I forgot the bottom half of my outfit!” nightmares we’re always having.

The vast number of clothes available right now with totally transparent bottoms, however, convinces us that either most people have far better legs than us, and are really, really keen to show them off… or no one is actually going out dressed like this, and it’s just another example of the fashion industry making clothes that “real” people don’t actually wear.

Which is it?

Oh Deer: Jean Charles de Castelbajac Bambi court shoes

bambi court shoes Oh Deer: Jean Charles de Castelbajac Bambi court shoes

Everyone loves Bambi, don’t they? Does everyone want to WEAR Bambi, though, that’s the question?

Well, on the plus side, at least  these Bambi court shoes will be the perfect accessory for this dress, which we showed you last week. On the minus side, though, finding the perfect shoes to match that dress isn’t necessarily a good thing, is it? Or maybe it is: these are, after all, fairly typical of the JC/DC sense of humour, and they’re designed to be worn by those who don’t take themselves too seriously. Does that excuse people sticking their feet into poor Bambi, though? If you think it does, click here to buy them for £520 at Selfridges.
