Fashion Police Gold Star for…Kirsten Dunst’s yellow Chloe dress at the ‘Melancholia’ Cannes photocall

If you’re a regular Fashion Police reader, you’re probably a little surprised to see Kirsten Dunst being awarded the coveted Gold Star. Trust us when we tell you that we are, too. Yes, it’s been a few long years in the fashion wilderness for Kiki, and at times we thought she might never claw her way back. It’s hard to recover from oufits like this one, for instance:

(Don’t worry, that’s one of our officers escorting her out of the building. She did five years for this crime.)

Recover she has, though, and the Kirsten Dunst who stands before us now, at a screening of Melancholia at the Cannes Film Festival is looking pretty darn good, no? We absolutely love the colour of this Chloe dress. It’s not the easiest colour to wear, sure, but if you can pull it off, it’s a colour that’s always guaranteed to stand out.  Would we have been tempted to add a belt, just to define the waist a little more? Well, maybe. But we add belts to everything, so we’re not best placed to comment on that one.

Kirsten wore this dress with Jimmy Choo sandals, and was accompanied by co-star Charlotte Gainsbourg, who was her usual understated self in black.

Cheryl Cole still loving bright colours

FP 7323264 XFactor NYC 10 29 Cheryl Cole still loving bright coloursShe’s had two recent brushes with the (Fashion Police) law this week, so here’s a quick look at Cheryl Cole getting it right: or more so than she has been, anyway.

This bright orange mini dress is by Giambattista Valli, and is a much better attempt at colourful dressing than Cheryl’s colourblock ensemble. The look owes a lot to the simplicity of the dress, which allows the colour to be the stand-out point, and Cheryl looks comfortable and relaxed in it, which is always a good thing.

And not a piece of fruit in sight.

Kate Spade’s New York Journal Clutch Bag: the most expensive newspaper you’ll ever buy…

the new york journal clutch bag kate spade Kate Spades New York Journal Clutch Bag: the most expensive newspaper youll ever buy...This is expensive for a newspaper, but actually pretty cheap for a Kate Spade bag… which is lucky, because that’s what it is.

The idea of making clutch bags look like newspapers or magazines isn’t a new one, of course, but we wondered what you all think of it. Do you love the idea of spending $125 on the “New York Journal”, or do you just worry you’d end up throwing it in the trash by mistake?

If it’s the former, click here to buy it.

Thong Converse: WHY?

thong coverse Thong Converse: WHY?

Seriously: is there any reason in the ENTIRE WORLD why Converse should suddenly need to have a thong front?

thong converse Thong Converse: WHY?

No, really: Converse have managed to exist for many, many years so far WITHOUT needing to have a thong front. And we’ve all managed perfectly well without thong-front Converse, too. If we need thongs, we’ll buy thongs. If we need Converse, we’ll buy…thongs, apparently.

Why has this come to pass, readers? And do you want to wear it?

The Penelope Cruz Fashion Show Continues: Armani Privé in Munich

FP 7322415 API PiratesCaribbean Germany 05 15 1 The Penelope Cruz Fashion Show Continues: Armani Privé in Munich

Another day, another Pirates of the Caribbean premiere, and another killer outfit for Penelope Cruz.

For the Munich premiere of On Stranger tides, Penelope wore red Armani Prive. The simplicity of the cut is offset here by the vibrancy of the colour, and we think she looks fantastic. We’re not so sure about the matchy-matchy accessories, though – Pen accessorized here with a bag and shoes in exactly the same shade of red as her dress. Might it have looked better with a contrasting colour, we wonder?

You decide…
