 We love it when we spot celebrities wearing accessible fashion, although you may not love it quite so much, given the item Kelly Osbourne is wearing here is this grey jumper dress by Rare, which comes with the requisite giant shoulders. It’s a look that Kelly is clearly loving at the moment – she wore a similarly styled top earlier this week – and it’s also very much “on trend” (yeah, we hate that phrase too), but do you fancy stealing Kelly’s style? If you do, the dress is £35 from Topshop, and we think the addition of the belt is probably a very good idea!
Judging by the reaction this Preen mini dress got when Gwyneth Paltrow wore it last week, it's probably not something many of you are going to want to splash out, £1,280 on. Dorothy Perkins black insert panel tube dress, however, is only £30, and while it's by no means a copy of the Preen number, it does borrow that "someone just ripped the top layer off my dress!" feel, as well as the body-con shape and black/silver colours.
Those of you looking for the Preen(ish) look on a budget can buy the dress on the right from Dorothy Perkins. If you'd prefer to stick with the origial, it's £1,280 at Net-a-Porter.

Amy Winehouse is in court this week (again), answering charges of assault over claims she hit a fan at the End Of Summer Ball in Berkley Square last year.
Still, on the plus side, that is an AWESOME suit she's wearing, isn't it? It's from Vivienne Westwood's Anglomania label, and we've had our beady eyes on the jacket for quite some time, which just goes to show that you can be in trouble with the law without necessarily incurring the wrath of The Fashion Police. And that even Amy Winehouse can scrub up good when she needs to.
Buy the jacket for $1,115 and the skirt for $540, both from Net-a-Porter.

Kim Kardashian has been looking amazing lately, and hey, isn't it nice to know that, just this once, you can actually buy this actual dress, rather than some cheap copy of it? Or you can if you have a Topshop within visiting-distance, anyway, because this is sold out on the website, which means that if you like it, you're going to have to run the gauntlet of the store itself, and have a good old rummage for it.
It's Topshop's 'Cosmic' dress, which comes complete with some sticky-out shoulders which, as we're sure you all know, are this season's must have feature – thanks, Balmain! Luckily these ones aren't too extreme, and serve to give the dress some structure as opposed to making you look like an extra from Dynasty.
If you can find it, it'll cost you £38.

We loved Victoria's Beckham's two dress collections, but with the dresses front them selling for around £2,000 each, we knew we'd never actually buy one. Luckily it's ASOS to the rescue, with this bright red pencil dress, which looks rather similar to the dress Victoria wore back in February this year, which was one of her own designs.
Luckily the ASSO version comes without the hefty price tag. It's £38, and you can buy it here.

Our apologies for bringing you two posts about Drew Barrymore in as many days, but Drew seems to be really enjoying herself fashion-wise at the moment, and we happen to think she's looking pretty good. Here she is last night arriving for her appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, in a dramatic black dress with billowing sleeves and a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti sandals which are Shoe Porn at its finest.
The shoes are £415, and available at Net-a-Porter. The dress, meanwhile, is Giambattista Valli, and has had mixed responses around the blogging world: what do you think of it?

Remember Victoria Beckham's heart-embellished Marc Jacobs dress? It was pretty, but maybe just a little bit OTT for anyone who isn't also known as Posh Spice, which is why we think this top from ASOS is a much more wearable – not to mention affordable – version.
This is £34.50, and has a one-shoulder design, with pretty little hearts holding it up, a gently draped front and a nipped in waist. It's also long-enough to let you wear it with skinny jeans or leggings without flashing too much belly/crotch. We like.

It's London Fashion Week, which means The Fashion Police have been subjected to more than the usual amount of photos of Peaches Geldof this week. Peaches did take a break from fashion to attend the NME Awards on Wednesday night however, wearing these grey patent 'Late Nights' platforms from Office, which are £75.
These are also available in black, which we would've preferred on Peaches, because we're not huge fans of the "pale shoes with dark tights" look, but we suspect we're in the minority on that one, because we see such a lot of it during the winter month, but whether you prefer grey or black, you can get them here.

X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke is wearing it as a dress here, but D&G originally showed this piece on the catwalk worn with shorts, so if you’re looking for a super-cheap way to steal the style, Matalan’s £10 t-shirt could be an easy way to do it. Yes, there are obvious differences in the garments (not least the fact that one’s a dress and one’s a t-shirt!), but there are obvious similarities too, so if you’re into the nautical look that rears its head every summer, this might just appeal to you!
The t-shirt isn’t currently available on the Matalan website, so if you like it, look out for in store.
