Kenzo 3 4 length trousers Get the Look: Betty Drapers capri pantsHow cute are these Kenzo capri pants? Betty Draper would look adorable tottering around the pool in these, hair coiffed, kids at her heels, cocktail in hand… Unfortunately, Kenzo don’t come in cheap, and these babies will set you back a tidy £198.00 (from yoox.com).

Or, if floral isn’t your vibe, you can always tap into the cool vibe beatnik look with classic black.

Is everyone else seeing a bag stuck to the front of this skirt?  Net-a-Porter are trying to pass it off as an ‘oversize pocket’ but you’re not fooled, are you readers?  Neither are the Fashion Police.

We suppose it could be useful for carrying a few necessities around, but do you really want to wear a skirt with a bum bag (fanny pack) attached to it?  And would you pay £1,455 for the privilege?  If you would, then you can buy it here.

the fashion police celebrity fashion roundup Rogues Gallery: The Fashion Polices Celebrity Fashion Rounup

It’s Friday, which means it’s time to stop what you’re doing and join the Fashion Police in taking a look back at the past week in celebrity fashion. And what a week it was: between the Grammys, the BRITS, the BAFTAs, New York Fashion Week, the Elle Style Awards and a slew of premieres and other events, we’ve had our work cut out for us when it comes to policing the world of fashion. We have, however, managed to round up the following suspects, who await your judgement. Are they fashion hits or fashion misses? You tell us…

Oh no. Not again. Please tell us our old nemesis the pleated maxi dress isn’t making a comeback? It is? Is it too late to leave the country, do you think?

Drab, shapeless, and flattering to no one we can think of, this dress is the stuff Fashion Police nightmares are made of, and yet it got a great reception on ASOS’s Facebook page, so perhaps we’re the only ones who think it would be an excellent way to convince people you’d joined a religious cult.

Are we the only ones? Did you squeal in delight at the sight of this dress? Well, far be it for us to deprive you of it, so you can click here to buy it, but before you do: enlighten us. Tell us why you love it and how you’d wear it. If you can convince us, we’ll be amazed…
