Victoria's Secret + The Spice Girls = Fashion News!

This week's big Hollywood event was the Victoria's Secret fashion show. There was quite the turnout to see the Angels strut their lingerie-clad stuff. (Who wouldn't want to be there?) If supermodels in underwear wasn't enough - the crowds clamored to see the first reunion date of the eponymous Spice Girls... ahem, Spice Ladies. Anyways... as usual, some celebs hit the mark with their fashion choices and others missed it completely. For the most part... it wasn't too bad, here's a few of the highlights.
As you can see above, Heidi Klum and her hubby Seal totally rocked their respective outfits - and just looked bad-ass. They seem like such a happy couple that's not afraid to go all the way with their fashion choices. On the other hand, inkstress Kat Von D wore her own version of lingerie(?) I guess. It's just all over a horrible outfit. She needs to give those pants back to David Lee Roth - there's no need to try so hard... cuz Kat is a bad-ass and she should just be happy being hotter than hot.
Speaking of hotter than hot... although all of the Spice girls are looking good... their outfits (except for Mel B's) are really quite bad. Maybe it's because I'm getting used to Scary Spice's hideous dancing outfits on Dancing with the Stars, but I though she looked understated and quite pretty. That's the good news... Baby Spice and Ginger Spice (Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell) are wearing Britney's old cast-offs (see above). I guess the tour money isn't rolling in yet. There's not much to say about Mel C except that she looks like a midwestern lesbian school teacher chaperoning a homecoming dance. And Victoria Beckham is her usual avant garde self. She decided to wear a bra and short shorts accessorized pink halter dress she hung over her neck. You know when you're shopping and you hold a dress up trying to see what it will look like without trying it on? Posh forgot to go ahead and put it on. Interesting.....
Don't they make decent clothes for menopausal women anymore?

There is just no excuse for two fantabulous divas like Sharon Stone and Patti LaBelle to ever go out in public looking like this. They both obviously have more money than sense. Sharon decided to wear all the dead animal by-products she could find all at once. Leather, feathers and fur? Do you really need all three Sharon? Not to mention I can't tell if you're wearing a dress with pants and a coat... or a shirt and a shawl? It's all running together in a bad, bad way.
Sharon looks like her outfit is making her miserable, but Patti is all smiles in this outrageous patterned getup. All I can say is that people named Patti should never wear peplums. Got that? Next time Jane Jetson shows up instead of your stylist, you better run, Patti, RUN!
Fashion disasters of the rich and famous...
It's that time again... time for the worst of the week celebrity fashion round-up. This week features some red carpet madness from Katie Holmes, Sheryl Crow, Rachel Griffiths and Jennifer Connelly. Let's get to it...
Part of me hates to hate on Katie Holmes' outfit, as I feel she has plenty more important things to worry about (like escaping) - but I couldn't help but comment. This awkward sparkly number paired with her awkward posed on the red carpet leaves her looking like she's from the land of the mannequins. The dress is so stiff and the fit is strange. Plus... even Dorothy wouldn't wear those silver sequined shoes. Ugh. Speaking of ugh....
Sheryl Crow tried to rock the pantsuit/furry vest look that will never be popular. At first glance, she doesn't look that bad, but look closely... are those pants? Is it an ankle-length tunic? What's with the chunk jeweled neckline? And, my god, why the Farrah hair and feathered earrings. Finish off the look with some nice "perfect for the office" boots from J.C. Penney and voila! Red carpet here she comes! Just a mess...
Juliette Binoche donned this mish-mash drapey mess of a dress at the premiere of Dan in Real Life. I hope this isn't what she would really wear in real life.... oh wait, this IS real life. I'm not sure what to say about this one except, huh?
And for the worst of the week award - paired with the best of the week award - the costumey couple Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany. Paul looks lovely as a British man should... but Jennifer, what were you thinking? This looks like gay Frankenstein decided to fashion his rubber-backed kitchen tablecloth into a little number for the evening. Ugly. I'm not even going to mention the pythonish shoes. Looks like the snakes got loose in the flower garden and are coming to get Jennifer. Better luck next time!
Little black no-nos.
It's very, very rare that Cate Blanchett makes an appearance on my worst dressed list - but I just couldn't find the logic behind this outfit she wore to the opening of Elizabeth: The Golden Age this week. Her dress reminded me of something you might find at a high school homecoming dance and I completely don't understand the furry shoes. This time I didn't find Cate's unique look fashion-forward... I found it a fashion-fiasco.
It seems Cate wasn't the only celeb to fall victim to the fuzzy fashion trend. Funny lady Fran Drescher made an appearance wearing half of an ostrich on the red carpet as well. Not a good look ladies... but, never fear, the two of you have never looked better (outside of the clothes)!
Craftiness has gone tooooo far
Don't let Britney or Paris see this one - it will leave Bit Bit & Tinkerbell shaking in her Blahnik booties. A new company, Feel the Flo, has come up with a new torture device for the little dogs out there. This crocheted carrier is a new twist on the baby Bjorn. As if stuffing your puppy into a purse and hauling it around like a toy wasn't bad enough, now you can hang it from your neck hands-free and go on about your daily business! I'm sure your little teacup poodle is just waiting for the chance to run errands with you... maybe a trip to the dentist for a little extra torture?
I really think PETA should get ahold of this company quick... before we start making smaller and smaller dogs that fit into special pocket protectors. Actually, my dog would probably love this - since she likes to be attached to us at all times. Thank god they don't make ones for 40 lb. dogs!

A tale of Hollywood blondes....
Oh to be young and blonde in Hollywood. It must get confusing with a stylist, hairdresser, editors, etc. all telling you what you should be wearing if you're an "it" girl. Choices, choices.
Well, today we're featuring the two extremes of "vintage-inspired" fashion. Reese Witherspoon is looking all kinds of casual chic in a little black day dress, Jackie-O sunglasses and some sexy sandals while she's out running errands. Very Audrey Hepburn indeed. On the other hand, Kate Bosworth is channeling my junior high fashion nightmare. I swear I had that ruffled, plaid blouse that I wore with a prairie skirt. Not good. Especially not good with those high-waisted baby-bells. While Reese is having a Breakfast at Tiffany's day, Kate is reliving That 70s Show.
A surprisingly fashionable VMAs!
For an MTV event - the ladies turned it out quite well last night at the Video Music Awards. I will decline from even rating Britney Spears' outfit... cuz, really, when was the last time she wore anything worth discussing? The lovely ladies above showed some restraint and real fashion sense while keeping a sense of humor about the whole thing. Let's break it down...
Rihanna's bright pink number reminds me of Jessica Rabbit. You have to have major confidence to pull off that look - and the songstress has that in spades. Alicia Keys shows us all how to properly pour yourself into a dress (pay attention Mariah and Britney!) keeping the whole look understated and uber-sexy. Jennifer Garner looks age-appropriate in a mid-thigh mini dress. Normally I hate dresses that are short in the front and long in the back... but I really like Pussycat doll Nicole Scherzinger's dress. The wrap-around collar allowed for a bare back and a very Cleopatra vibe. Nice choice!
On the flip side... rapper Lil' Mama wins hands-down for the worst dressed of the night. Believe it or not... she had a whole "concept" behind this getup... something about the "birth of hip-hop" and her just being a baby? Made no sense to me either, and should not be accepted as a viable excuse for dressing like that. Better luck next time Mama!
Crimes of Fashion - the Denim Edition
The Fashion Police bring us three hideous denim examples recently offered at trendy TopShop in the UK. They epitomize some of the worst trends, past and present, that we've seen in denim design.
The stovepipe leg/corset waist pants (left) have been spotted on several hottie starlets including Jessica Simpson, Mischa Barton, Sienna Miller and Kate Moss. You shouldn't ever try this look unless you are over 75 or one of the above listed starlets... and truth be told, they shouldn't either. Plus, the super skinny legs are sure to accentuate any protruding tummy you might be sporting to the fullest (pun intended!). Trust me, I know, I lived through the 80s.
The "maternity but not maternity" playsuit in the center looks like an extra costume from That 70s show and features both a super low waistline and built in bra for that "all-in-one" inconvenience. Meanwhile, the "thong jeans" on the right are sure to make an appearance in Britney Spears' summer wardrobe. Do not even think about buying these jeans. They are not cute.... they are a crime and should be prosecuted accordingly.

Eva Longoria is costume crazy!

Eva Longoria was the hostess without the fashion mostest this past week at The Alma Awards in Pasadena. She had at least 6 wardrobe changes - and not one of her "gowns" did anything for this sassy lassy. If you can overlook the fakebake orange complexion- which complements no color in any wardrobe by the way, you may still have a hard time digesting Eva's one-night tribute to bad fashion. The "ethnic-inspired" numbers with ruffles and red lace were a little over the top, as was the green taffeta prom dress circa 1987. This one is remarkably similar to my own red silk and taffeta 1988 prom dress. Shuuudddder. Anyways... The feathered gown was perfect for a cruise-ship cocktail lounge and the librarian "please take me seriously even though I play a psychotic, nymphomaniac slut on television" dress just looked downright unfestive.
Even though Eva's fashion choices were suspect... it's hard to dispute that she is looking lovely as usual... stay tuned, I'm sure her summer wedding will provide plenty of fashion fodder! source

Worst looks of the week.
In this installment of worst dressed of the week -- the honors go solely to Jennifer Lopez - Ms. J-Lo if you're nasty. The normally stylish diva has been traipsing around Spain promoting her latest album in all sorts of crazy get-ups. Her day look of skull & crossbones nightgown with a fur vest is very Mary Kate & Ashley Olson - and her nighttime look in a black & white crucifix penoir set isn't cutting it either. I have no idea what to say about her stage outfit -- it looks like she got caught up in her parasailing chute and didn't have time to change before the show. Not a good week for Jenny from the block... I'm sure she'll redeem herself in no time.
I have to give an honorable mention to piratess Paula Abdul for her perfectly petite pantaloons. All she's missing is an eyepatch and mustache - she's got the ruffles, the short pants and the long locks already workin. Ahoy matey - maybe she'll be hiding Captain Morgan under that Idol desk this week... we'll have to see.
Fashion Faux Pas of eras gone by....
RadarOnline has a list of the top ten fashion fouls of all time. #10 is tooth painting. Seems this was popular with 16th century Italian ladies - they chose between the ever stylish red and green tooth dye. Just like the flag. Black was the color of choice for Russian nobles... probably invented as a cover-up for tooth decay.
Tooth paint joins the ranks of codpieces and flea cravats on this interesting list. These ten are a good start - but I would like to add the next 10. So here are my choices for #11-20... they may not be crimes against animals or mankind, but they are certainly crimes against good taste.
11. Hoop skirts
12. Legwarmers
13. Periwigs
14. MC Hammer pants
15. chastity belts
16. Stirrup pants
17. Dickies
18. High heels for men
19. Butt Implants
20. Victorian Hair Jewelry
Leave a comment if you'd like to add to the list!

Worst dressed of the week....
My, my. How far can a star fall anyway? This week Paris Hilton was spotted doing her best Marlo Thomas impression when she was visiting her lawyer over her suspended license incident. I guess that's how Paris does 'serious'? Thank you, try again! Courtney Love is looking like some demented and drunk chaperone for daughter Frances Bean's next school dance. Note, no one over the age of 40 should wear anything from the juniors department. EVER! And dear Gwyneth Paltrow... she usually looks chic and modern but I think she should rethink the shoes when she's heading to the gym. The high heels/sweats combo just isn't doing it for me.
Celebs cruise the shopping strips in casual cool style.
The usual celebs are out and about getting their post-Thanksgiving pre-Christmas hysteria shopping done in casually and chicly. Victoria Beckham played it down in a cute skull-patterned sweater, boots and skinny jeans before leaving Rome where she was attending the Tomkat extravaganza. I guess after a weekend of fashion debauchery... a pair of jeans was looking quite good that morning. Gwen Stefani stepped out in a long green cable-knit sweater coat looking every bit the classically cool icon she is. Jessica Simpson, on the other hand, had all the right pieces to work with, but couldn't put together a look that didn't look way overdone. The jacket and purse are cool... but would look better with a plain ol pair of Levis, a tank top and some understated knee high boots. Make sure you look your best when holiday shopping... you never know who's watching!
Beauties and their beastly outfits!
First the good news... these lovely ladies have been rocking the knee-length dresses and looking amazing while doing it! Janet Jackson looks so much better with a pretty dress than something ab-baring and obnoxious. This brown frock complements her coloring and shape fabulously. Ashley Judd looks fresh and frilly in a pretty white spaghetti strap number while Jamie Lee Curtis looks age-appropriate and amazing in a body-conscious sheath. It's hard to believe that Jamie Pressly plays the #1 white trash mama on TV in this tasteful lacy number. Nice job ladies!
Now for the not so good news... these pics pretty much speak for themselves. It wasn't the best of weeks for Eva Longoria as she showed up in a mess of mismatched layers while Nicolette Sheridan forgot her pants one recent afternoon. Catherine Zeta Jones decided to whip her drapes up into a dress while Jude Law left his outfit in the dryer a little too long. Better luck next time folks.
Highs and lows of this week's celebrity fashion

Jennifer Lopez has been looking glamorous out and about town these days. I picked this look as her best because it takes a special body to pull off that corset look and not look like a cheap halloween costume. I think Alyson Hannigan looks cute and fresh in her mini dress at a People's Choice party - while Britney Spears gets most improved of the millenium in a demure black and gold frock while leaving the David Letterman show this week.. Finally, this girl looks like she has a buck in the bank! Ditching Fed-ex does a body good?
Meanwhile... Victoria Beckham, Nelly Furtado and Lindsay Lohan didn't quite pull their collective looks together. Pushing the fashion envelope isn't always the best idea - especially if we're talking about burlap sacks, tattoo sleeves and grandma's old lace bedroom drapes on the red carpet. Better luck next time....
