What? We’re not being mean, folks: she really does look like she’s wearing a potato sack. Because she IS wearing a potato sack. And she has Jeremy Scott to thank for it.
So, how much does a designer potato sack cost these days, anyway? Oh, only $185. Not much at all, really.

Does anyone else suddenly have the urge to do some stomach crunches?
Oh no, wait: this is £2,006 / $3,174, which means we couldn’t afford it even if we DID want to give new meaning to the phrase “body concious”. We’re pretty relieved, to be honest. Can someone pass us another slice of pizza?

Scenic print dress, £85
We know many of you can’t see a full-skirted summer dress without thinking of either grandma or Betty Draper, but for those who can (or who actually WANT to look like grandma or Betty Draper), all we can say to you is get thee to Oasis. It’s currently a veritable… well, oasis, really… of 50s style sun dresses. Here are a few of our favourites:

As some of you may know, The Fashion Police are big fans of the colour green, and we’re not averse to bows on the neck either.
And yet… as soon as we laid eyes on this Viktor & Rolf dress, we just fell about laughing. And we can’t seem to stop. In fact, we’re laughing as we type this now. It’s like she’s dressed as a lettuce for Halloween. And, judging by the slightly stunned expression on her face, this photo seems to capture the exact moment when she realises she’s spent $1,645 to look like this: classic!
Do you think there’s a way this dress could work? Or do you agree with us that it’s a Crime of Fashion? Place your votes below…

We were all ready to set the emergency siren wailing and slide down the pole in the HQ (That’s how things work around here, by the way. We may be Fashion Police, but for the real emergencies, we react more like Fashion Fire Fighters.), until we read the product description and realised this is actually a “beach dress”. After that, we called off the red alert, but we have to admit, we’re still pretty confused, because seriously: what’s the point?
Call us old-fashioned (many people do), but we’ve always operated under the assumption that a beach cover-up is supposed to do exactly that: cover you up, either when you’ve had too much sun, or when you didn’t bother to follow Cosmo’s “Beach Body Diet!” and don’t wan’t everyone staring at your flabby bits.
This “dress” – and we use the word in its loosest possible sense – does neither of those things. It offers little-to-no protection from the sun (although, if you’re not wearing sunscreen, you could end up with some interesting tan lines…) and it won’t actually cover you up, either, so we’re left with the conclusion that this is just a really easy way to spend £168 and not have much to show for it.

Is it Halloween already? Or did this poor girl just think the invitation said “come in costume”? Bless her heart…

(L-R: ASOS, Kalmanovich)
They’re daring you to mention the fact that neither one of them is actually wearing a skirt. Or pants. Or… anything other than a sheer layer of tulle tacked onto the bottom of their little tunics.
One of them DOES appear to be wearing an old-fashioned lampshade, though. So there is that.
(Seriously, WHEN will this fashion for very short dresses with totally sheer maxi skirts attached to them going to die? Do we really have to open a special branch of our Fashion Force to deal with this?)
