Attention Kate Middleton fans, Royal watchers and people who are just a bit bored, and are reading this simply to pass the time: we interrupt our Emmys/Fashion Week coverage to bring you the news you’ve probably not been waiting for, which is that the Diane Von Furstenberg ‘Maja’ dress, as worn by Kate Middelton, is now available for us commoners to buy.
The dress, which is so loved by the Duchess of Cambridge that she’s now worn it twice (a move guaranteed to rock fashion victims to their very core) is available for £375 at Net-a-Porter, and $398 at Shopbop.
We’ve shown you the reds, the blues and the lights, so we have one last Emmy gallery to show you. We were going to call this one “little black dresses”, but then we realised there were some purple and green and navy ones we’d missed from the previous galleries (Honestly, the organisers of these events just don’t think about the poor Fashion Police officers who will have to cover them, they really don’t…), so consider this the best – and worst – of the rest.
We’re particularly interested in your comments on Gwyneth Paltrow…
We’ve shown you the reds and the blues, now here at the celebrities who chose to go pale and interesting to the 2011 Emmy Awards. Or pale and NOT so interesting: you decide…
Last night, as we’re sure you’re all aware, fashion fans that you are, saw the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards take place in Los Angeles.
Like every award show since time began, the Emmys are a great opportunity for celebrities to show off who has the best stylist and makeup/hair artists, as well as who managed to borrow the best designer gown for the event. And who did? We’ve sorted last nights celebrities into colour-coded groups, for your viewing pleasure, so take a look and tell us who was the best lady in blue at the 2011 Emmys?
We can’t think of anything nice to say about this gold maxi dress by Topshop Unique. In fact, if we came round to your house, say, and you were wearing this, we would think we got you out of bed. We’d also think it was 1972.
It’s Friday, though, and, well, it’s nice to be nice, isn’t it? So we’ll leave it up to you. If you share our view, you can consider it a challenge. If you don’t, you can consider it an opportunity to change our minds. If you just want to buy the dress, you can click here and have your £195 at the ready. Go!
Straw poll, jurors: Topman have withdrawn this shirt following complaints. Is it offensive? Should they have withdrawn it?
What about this one, which has also been withdrawn?
The objections being voiced about this shirt centre around the idea that the thing being apologised for is domestic violence. We have to admit, that was the impression we got from it too, although we saw this for the first time already knowing that it had been withdrawn following a Twitter storm, and that may well have coloured our views.
Topman’s statement:
“We have received some negative feedback regarding two of our printed T-shirts. Whilst we would like to stress that these T-shirts were meant to be light-hearted and carried no serious meaning we have made the decision to remove these from store and online as soon as possible. We would like to apologise to those who may have been offended by these designs.”
What do you think: do either of these offend you? Should they have been withdrawn?
Our posts about Christina Hendricks’ breasts over the past couple of days got us wondering where you guys stand on the cleavage issue. This seems to be one of those questions which divides people, because whereas the first post had many of you commenting that the cleavage was “too much”, the follow-up attracted a few “if you’ve got it, flaunt it”, and “her breasts are great: why should she hide them?” comments: where’s the happy medium, we wonder? Is there one?
Just to clarify: Christina Hendricks does, indeed, have a fabulous figure – no one is denying that. But we think there does come a point when “flaunting” crosses a line into vulgarity, and we’re wondering where that line begins. For us, probably at the point where you look at someone’s outfit and don’t really notice what they’re wearing, because all you can think is “WHOA! BOOBS!” Or when the breasts appear to be trying to escape a too-small dress.
What do you think? How much cleavage is too much cleavage? And is Lindsay Lohan, above, crossing that line?
