Camilla Belle at The Art of Elysium's 3rd Annual Gala

The Golden Globes was far from the only red carpet event taking place this week. We actually thought the outfits worn to The Art of Elysium’s 3rd Annual Black Tie Charity Gala were far more interesting than the selection of Globes gowns we brought you earlier this week (we’ll have a gallery along soon, to show you what we mean) and Camilla Belle’s grey Valentino dress was definitely one of the more unique looks of the night.

What do you think of it, though? Do you love it? (We think we do, although we don’t like the shoes any more than we did when we saw them in tan on Amanda Seyfried yesterday. OK, maybe a little more…) Do you hate it? Are you just wondering why she’s dressed as a jellyfish? Tell us, readers: let us settle this matter once and for all!

Rachel McAdams at the Madrid premiere of Sherlock Holmes

Ah. After getting all gushy over the outfit Rachel McAdams wore to the Berlin premiere of Sherlock Holmes yesterday, we’re going to have to be a little less enthusiastic in our response to this one today. Sorry, Rachel. You’re still one of our favourite actresses!

To be fair, this looks like it could be a really stunning dress… if it was a different colour. Or if it was being worn with someone whose skintone didn’t match it. Combined with the hair and makeup, we think it makes Rachel look a little bit washed out, but what do you think? Tell us in the poll below!

It’s a dress… with another dress drawn on top of it. And we’re just not sure how we feel about that, although, granted, we can certainly see how it’ll make your waist look smaller without any effort at all, which is generally a very GOOD thing.

What do you think? Is this dress a good thing in general? Or is it a very BAD thing? Tell us in the comments, and if you want to buy it, head over here afterwards.

As far as we can see, these shoes more or less scream “stripper shoes”, sculptural heel or not. They’re not, though: they are, in fact, £477 designer shoes by Casadei, but this small fact does nothing to change our minds. In fact, we’re tempted to cast them into the depths of the Fashion Police jail, and require only the opinion of the Fashion Police Jury to put this plan into action.

What do you think, readers: “stripper” or just “sculptural”?

On Trial: Haute Hippie Dress

On Trial: Haute Hippie Dress

As regular readers will know, stick a flower on something and The Fashion Police will generally like it: and the bigger the flower, the better.

We think we may have finally met our match with this Haute Hippie dress, however, which makes this poor Shopbop model look like she just won first prize in some kind of bizarre contest run by giants. And it’s a shame, because it’s one of those cases where we feel like we SHOULD like it, but… we don’t.

What about you? Do you find this dress guilty or innocent of crimes of fashion? If you think it’s innocent of all charges, better get saving: it’s $985 at Shopbop.

paul-smith-photograph-handb

We hope you’ll excuse the gigantic image here, readers, but this is one bag that really needs to be viewed up close to be fully appreciated! In fact, if you want a closer look, we recommend heading over to Far Fetch, where you can see an even bigger version!

This is Paul Smith’s ‘Photograph’ collage bag, and as you can see, it’ll make you look like you’re carrying around pretty much everything but the kitchen sink, including books, cameras, a globe…  It’s very cleverly done, and the kind of thing that makes us want to keep looking, but, being the neat-freaks that we are, we’re not sure we’d want to actually carry it around with us.

What about you? If you love it, it’s £284 at Far Fetch.

bow-side-skinny-jeansOn the one hand, we’re pleased to see that the holes that’ve been popping up in clothes recently have started to take some kind of shape – and a nice one, at that. Come on, you all know how much we like bows!

On the other hand, though: way to make our calves look bigger than they are, Topshop! And to give them an odd, “ridged” look when viewed from the front!

So we’re undecided about these. We’re guessing the addition of socks in a contrasting colour underneath could make these quite interesting, but then again, they’d have to be knee-high and very thin to fit under those skinny legs, and tights-under-jeans are one of those things we just don’t like, so we’re thinking cold legs, with blue-coloured bows on them would probably be the order of the day here.

What do you think, though? If you like them, they’re £50 from Topshop.

Mary-Katrantzou-dress

Our gut instinct: when a dress could be mistaken for a bottle of perfume from a distance, it’s probably a crime of fashion.

In the interests of giving it a fair trial, however, we put it you, ladies and gentlemen of the Fashion Police jury: IS this a crime of fashion? Or do you actually kinda like it? (If you do, it’s £785 at Browns.)

green-ruffle-dressWell, it’s certainly starting to feel a lot like Christmas, isn’t it?

For instance, here’s one of the decorations! Well, it looks like one, anyway. We can’t quite make our minds up about this dress, though. It feels like it COULD be stunning… if it had just a few less ruffles. Or, OK, maybe a LOT less ruffles. We can’t help feeling that a head poking out of that neckline would end up looking like some kind of grown-up Cabbage Patch Kid, although perhaps the black version would be a little better in that respect.

What do you think, readers? Crime of Fashion?

On Trial: Daisy Lowe

On Trial: Daisy Lowe

Is that a crafty version of a harem playsuit on Daisy Lowe? It certainly appears that way, doesn’t it Are we going to allow this kind of garment to walk free, then, readers, or do you think it’s actually perfectly fine, and deserving of a fashion reprieve? We will say that if anyone can make this outfit look good, Daisy Lowe is the surely the person to do it, although we do have “issues” with the whole “Window on my [squashed] breasts” thing, to, we must admit.

However. The evidence is before you, readers: will you convict or acquit Daisy Lowe of committing crimes of fashion?
