Forever 21
It looks like Fergie hauled herself down to the local Forever 21 store and bought the first thing she could find. The dress looks cheap and tarty, the jewelry makes it even worse, and it is never a good idea to put a gi-normous bow on your boobs.
On the upside, I do really like her hair and make up. Sometimes Fergie’s face can look a big angular, and this is soft and fresh.
Teese
I get that Dita Von Teese is going for a particular look. And that her look is inherently costumey. I can live with that on her.
But what on God’s green earth is she wearing on her head?
Bringing hairy back
I cannot think of a single scenario where a hairy back would be considered alluring. Granted, Victoria Beckham is a far cry from an overweight shirtless dude with hair along his back and arms. Nevertheless, I don’t think this is a fashion trend that will (or even should) catch on.
This Giambattista Valli dress otherwise is impeccable, albeit a little plain. It’s a shame the furry mink of a back was added. I can think of a million other ways to embellish this dress well.
Head injury
Did January Jones trip and fall on her way to the Mad Men season two wrap party? Is she bleeding excessively from her head? Shouldn’t someone be calling 911? Why else would she have this appendage super-glued to her head?
Seriously, though. I saw the head-shot first and thought, “a little costume-y, but with the right outfit I’ll give it a pass.” Mad Men does specialize in period clothing, so this event could carry a forties- or fifties-inspired look. While I could never fully endorse a sheer headband/scarf adorned with feathers, I could understand what she was going for.
Then I saw the full body photo. She definitely did NOT go for a forties- or fifties-inspired look. She’s wearing a flippin’ tank top and low-ride skinny jeans. Why *that* outfit gets a feathered headband is absolutely beyond me.
Going for gold
Unless Paris Hilton is participating in an Olympic sport, there is no good excuse for this outfit. While our expectations from Ms. Hilton aren’t high in the first place, this get-up is truly ridiculous. It isn’t flattering, it isn’t functional, and sure as heck isn’t fashionable.
And just in case you didn’t know who she is, it was particularly kind of her to emblazon her name along her T, with a follow-up across her A.
