Paris Hilton, WTF Are You Wearing??

Photobucket


You have to hand it to her:  Paris Hilton never stops mixing it up.  She's gone from your average ho, to quasi-goth-girl-slash-walking-advertisement-for-her-honey's-clothing-line, to now ... slutty Amish mall chick?   I dunno.  I think I have to give her props for going out in public in this outfit.  It's been beastly hot in California lately, maybe the heat fried her brain?

Angie Harmon, What Are You Wearing?

Photobucket

Stella McCartney designs some cute stuff - that's just undeniable.  I hope she gets her wish to design Scarlett Johansson's wedding dress.   All that love aside, however, I really wish I knew what she was thinking when she designed this jumpsuit.  Yes, lovies, you heard me - that's a jumpsuit.  Made of the same floral chiffon as several dresses I owned back in the 1990s.

I'm not sure which is to blame more, Stella for designing and actually producing this hideous object, or Angie Harmon (who should KNOW BETTER) for wearing it.  In public, no less.

What The Hell, Eva Longoria?

Photobucket

Eva Longoria attended the Met's Costume Institute Gala on Monday night.

And so did the Purple Satin Seaweed Monster that attacked her on the way.

What NOT To Wear To The Opera

Photobucket


When actress Rinko Kikuchi got the invitation for the Metropolitan Opera's opening night gala, she evidently didn't realize she was going TO the show, 'cause it looks like she thought she was going to be IN the show. 

Hon, I get that La Fille du Régiment is a French opera.  But there are much more attractive ways to celebrate this fact than dressing like a can-can-dancer-slash-madam.

More than that, though, this dress doesn't flatter her at all.  It looks someone wrapped her in curtains from Barbie's Dream House and held her in with a black velvet rope tied under her boobs.  I'm not even going to start talking about her hair, because I have to wrap up this post. 

Rinko, guuurrrrrllll, you can do SO MUCH BETTER.  I know you can, 'cause I've seen you do it.   OK, so maybe this was a little over the top, but it fit properly. 

There is one thing I can say in her favor, though:  at least she's not trying to be blonde anymore.  (Note to my Asian sisters:  none of us are meant to be blonde!)

Pete Wentz Wants You...

Photobucket

... to buy stuff from his new fashion line with Nordstrom, Clandestine Industries.

Because you can't be a rocker these days without designing clothing. 

Pete Nordstrom, President of Merchandising at Nordstrom, says of Wentz:

...here's an artist who's really well known, has a proven, personal interest in fashion design, and happens to have great fashion sense too."

Has this guy ever seen Pete Wentz, or the clothes in this collection?  They mostly look like they came from Hot Topic.  As for Pete, he looks like a gay emo boy waiting for his emo lover to join him on the bed and roll around making hot emo love on top of the clothes he just brought home from his shopping trip to the mall. 

Not that there's ANYTHING whatsoever wrong with that.  I'm just saying, though.

LeAnn Rimes Wore WHAT To the CMT Awards?

Photobucket


What in the name of all that is holy did LeAnn Rimes wear to the CMTs?

I swear her dress looks like one of those growths you sometimes see on the sides of trees.  I didn't know fungi came in couture! 

On the other hand, she's got great legs.  Doesn't excuse the frock, though.

Heidi Montag "Heidiwood" Launch

Photobucket


Here's a picture of Heidi Montag at last night's launch of Heidiwood - her new clothing line for Anchor Blue. Those flowers?  Are from Spencer, who came out on stage and presented them to her with a kiss.  I guess this week they're on again. 

Heidi comments on the frequent use of a signature element of her line:

“I love zebra print!” she said. “I’m obsessed with it!”


This didn't need explaining -  zebra is all over Heidiwood.   She's wearing items from the line in this pic, and you can see more here.  Some of this stuff is cute, especially the accessories.  I like the blue tanktop and the beaded bangle bracelet.  But it's nothing too exciting - largely like anything you could find at Target or Mervyns. This is not groundbreaking fashion, folks.

Heidiwood's tag line is "Welcome To La La Land," which is apt considering that Heidi looks like she's IN La La Land the vast majority of the time.  The thing about her I don't get, though, is whether she's seriously that airheaded or whether her whole persona is a huge fabrication.   What's your take?  Tell us what you think!

Fergie Fashion: When Acid Wash Met Tie Dye...

Photobucket


.... they hooked up and spawned these pants. 

I think they were given up for adoption somewhere between the 1960s and the 1980s (oh, I guess that would be the 1970s, eh?), until Fergie rescued them from the fashion equivalent of the animal shelter.

Fergie, hon....I know you want to prove to us all just how un-pregnant you are, and in these jeans we can really tell that you are completely not as pregnant as you looked a few weeks ago... but -- just... no. 

(Although I really like the orange belt, A LOT.)

Blogger Love: Go Fug Yourself-Fug Madness

Photobucket

If you haven't yet checked out Go Fug Yourself's Fug Madness, you really should.  Click here to find out what all this vomiticious fashion insanity is about.

It's down to the Elite Eight.  Right now Chloe Sevigny and Bai Ling are battling it out for Queen Of The Charo Bracket - 49% to 50% respectively.   I was so disturbed that I had to choose between these two, I can't even talk about it.  I thought I might have to flip a coin, but in the end, it was outfits like this that caused me to ultimately go with Chloe. 

AnyWAYS... go check out one of my fave fave FAVE blogs ever, and most of all, VOTE!!!

Jennifer Love Hewitt Isn't Pregnant, Eh?

Then why did she wear one of my mother's maternity dresses (circa 1971) to the Kids' Choice Awards??

Rihanna Goes Retro For KCAs

Photobucket


What do you think of the outfit Rihanna wore for the KCAs this weekend?

I'll tell you what I think. 

While the corset top is super cute, I don't think it's appropriate for a kid-oriented event.  However, I love how she matched her lipstick to the color of the polka dots on the top.  Her stylist did a good job there.  If she had matched her shoes to the lipstick to the dots I'd be even more impressed. 

The pants, though.... I'll start by saying that she's quite possibly the only person on earth who could wear these on a red orange carpet without shame.  But I haven't seen a pair of pegged, paper bag waist pants since, oh 1988?  When I got rid of mine, that is.

Speaking of the 1980s, everything about Ri-Ri's look here evokes that era.  She's even got the asymmetrical hair going on!  And don't get me wrong - I had so much fun with clothes 20 years ago.  But it was, well, 20 years ago, and as I've said before, I think having BTDT, I'm not really that eager to do it again.  I'll leave it mostly to those who weren't even born yet to revive those looks.

New Dereon Ad: What Were They Thinking?

Photobucket

So I guess this ad for House of Dereon is supposed to remind us of the posters for Fight Club, or at least that's what I'm told, anyway.

But why did they have to make Beyonce look so vicious?  Has she been taking lessons in fierce from Tyra?  Or is she mad because they made her lips look like she just got collagen injections?  Or maybe because the tiara they gave her doesn't fit, and what good is a tiara that doesn't fit?

Dereon has some cute stuff in their collection right now, though.  What I like about this line is that it's actually decently affordable.  I could actually buy some of their items without having to sell my kids to science!

It's Not A Good Look... But It's A Look....

Photobucket

Chloe Sevigny is so impossibly weird.  OK, maybe she's a really nice, down to earth person in real life, but I doubt it.  I'd like to think that under the uh, inspired (?) outfits, totally unflattering hairstyles and perplexing indie film roles that there's a chick who would go get a pedicure with you and then agree to stop for nachos and margaritas.... but what I really expect to find is a girl who eats only organic, macrobiotic, hand-picked foods except when she's drinking from vials of tears collected from the slave labor orphans of Kaznia that she first discovered in the swag bag at a fundraiser hosted by Sally Struthers but that she's now fairly addicted to and would never consider passing a day without tippling from just a tad.

Given that (and just try to tell me you don't agree), what in the hell was Opening Ceremony doing giving her a fashion line? And what in the hell else would you expect it to be but.... just plain effing bizarre?  I mean would you wear these clothes? 

And who in the hell could dish it better than the ladies at Go Fug Yourself?

Please, though, before you click make sure you've used the facilities and have some tissues at hand.  Trust me - you'll thank me later.

Christian Siriano Is Youngest Project Runway Winner Ever

Photobucket

Christian Siriano took it all in the Project Runway 4 finale last night. 

His clothes are interesting - I like the quasi-Robin Hood look.  Overall though, they are too too TOO 1980s inspired for my taste.  I can understand why that aesthetic might be appealing to younger people, but having lived through it/worn it once, I don't really feel the need to revisit.  Skinny pants tucked into boots?  Makes me shudder. 

What do you think?  Would you actually wear these clothes (or let's face it, probably a knock-off version from Target)?
