Celebrity Style on Trial: Kirsten Dunst’s demi-shress

FP 7346622 ANG AMFAR Arrivals 64Cannes 19 72 Celebrity Style on Trial: Kirsten Dunsts demi shressSo, we pretty much all agreed that Kirsten Dunst DONE GOOD last week with that gorgeous yellow dress. In fact, we were so impressed with the dress in question that we awarded Kirsten the Gold Star.

Then she had to go and spoil it all with this DEMI SHRESS.

As you know, The Fashion Police just can’t get on board with the shress, whether demi or otherwise. In fact, sometimes we think a half-shress can look even worse than a full one. At least if the dress is sheer from top to bottom, you know where you stand with it. Sure, it looks bad, but you have to give it some kind of credit for making the commitment to looking bad: to owning its sheerness. It’s see through, it knows it is, and it doesn’t care.

The half-hearted nature of the demi-shress, on the other hand, gives it a bit of an accidental feel. It starts to look less like a fashion choice (albeit a bad one) and more like a wardrobe malfunction in which our hapless celebrity intended to wear a slip with the dress, but forgot. Or the dress wasn’t actually supposed to be sheer in the first place, but was simply rendered so by the sun, or by the photographer’s flash, or whatever.

Such, we feel, is the fate of Kirsten Dunst, in this instance.

What do you think, though?

 

Strange Sunglasses: Ketevane Maissaia red-legged glasses

a) Nice, but pretty unexciting.

or

b) Totally and utterly bizarre.

We’re sure we don’t need to tell you which category these ones fall into, do we?

Here’s what they look like on:

They’re actually a little less strange than we’d expected, although they do make up for it by being $685. We’ve had cars that cost less than that. Well, OK, not really, but we could have.

Think that price is totally justified? Then click here and get buying!

Maison Martin Margiela redefines the word “dungarees”

This is NOT a caped mini dress being worn with a pair of thigh-high boots, as amusing as that concept might be.

No, these are dungarees.

As in, the “thigh high boots” are actually leather chaps, which are attached to the “dress”, creating “dungarees”.

We feel like we’ve learned something today. For instance, we’ve learned there are people in the world who are willing to spend £1,690 on stuff like this. And that Maison Martin Margiela REALLY has a lot to answer for.

Are you one of them? Click here if you are…

If you’re not, meanwhile, just stay where you are and enjoy the back view:

Fashion Police at The 2011 Billboard Music Awards

It’s the 2011 Billboard Music Awards, everyone! And it’s Rihanna! In a white suit!

Now, we guess you could argue that this white trouser suit is a little more Miami Vice than “red carpet”.  Or “white floor”, as the case may be here. We think Rihanna looks amazing here, though. She looks good, she knows she looks good, and she looks good in an “I’m not even really trying here,” kinda way. Either that or she’s just thinking, “Wow, I’m glad I’m not wearing Nicki Minaj’s outfit…”. Well, we’re ALL glad we’re not wearing Nicki Minaj’s outfit, aren’t we?

“Look at how completely kooky and kerrazzy I am, everyone!”

Yeah.

Nicole Kidman, meanwhile, wore a SHRESS. No, we’re not making this up:
