Is this the least flattering dress ever? We think it may be! The length may be very this season but that wide band at the bottom just cuts off the poor model’s legs. Also: check out that saggy butt! If the model doesn’t look good in this, no one else is going to.
What do you think though? Do you like this style and would you buy it? If you would, it costs £856.78 from here.

Dear Fashion Police,
I’ve fallen in love with this white Closet dress, which I’d love to wear to my brother-in-law’s wedding this summer. Is it still considered bad form to wear white to a wedding, though, or is that no longer the case?
Thanks!
Alison
Dear Alison,
We love this dress too, but bright, unrelieved white to a wedding? Only if you’re the bride, unfortunately. While many of the wedding-related “rules” have fallen by the wayside these days, the fact remains that if you turn up wearing all-white, no matter what you’re wearing, and how non-bridal it looks, people will still think that either a) you’re the bride, b) you wish you were the bride, or c) you’re trying to upstage the bride. And yes, this still applies even if the bride herself is wearing green/blue/fluorescent yellow with purple spots. Never upstage the bride. Never wear a white dress to someone else’s wedding. The Fashion Police hold these truths to be self-evident, but we’d like to know what YOU think, too, so please feel free to enlighten us in the comments section!

It takes quite a lot to make the Fashion Police look forward to winter (espeically when we’re still stuck in the middle of The Winter That Won’t End), but Carolina Herrera might just have managed it with this Fall 2011 collection.
At first glance, the muted colours and severe shapes seemed a little on the dull side, but the exquisite tailoring and old-style glamour of the collection won us over very quickly: just add a slash of bright red lipstick to these pieces and you’re good to go. There’s even some splashes of bright, bright colour in there too…

Funnily enough, this model is wearing exactly the same facial expression we imagine most onlookers will assume when you walk by wearing this little number. It’s a mixture of shock, amusement, and, of course, hope: hope that the wearer of the dress will make just one wrong move, and that barely-covered breast of hers will make a bid for freedom.
The Fashion Police, meanwhile, are hoping that DOESN’T happen. Because then we’d have to arrest her, and our jail is looking pretty full right now. Instead, we’ll just cross our fingers and hope she’s made good use of the ol’ double-sided tape. It’s her only hope…

Ok, enough already with the underwear as outerwear trend. The Fashion Police have had their fill, and are afraid they’ll be forced to lay down a few basic ground rules for the sake of common decency. Such as: no more sheer. If we can see through it, it’s not suitable for public consumption. If it has a marabou trim, it’s unlikely to be suitable for the streets (excepting on those rare occasions when “street” meets “walking” and money exchanges hands…) And if it resembles nightwear even the teeniest bit, let’s be sensible and keep it in the bedroom, folks!
Unless you actually want to resemble an Austen Powers fembot… in which case, fire away!

Have you ever wanted a Mohawk cut but just not had the courage to go for it? Well now you can have a Mohawk in a hat! We are not sure that is a particularly good thing, but that’s just our opinion. What do you think? Would you wear a hat that looks like it’s a Mohawk? Or is it best left to punks to get the real thing on their heads? Here’s the side view, just to help you decide:
This hat is by Juicy Couture, and it’s $52.50 (reduced from $76) and is available here.
