Somebody get Justin Timberlake back in his Dior Homme tuxedo STAT! I did a double take--and not for good reason--when I saw him at the SAG Awards. This Dolce & Gabbana outfit is all wrong on him. While I love, loved it on the Spring 2010 runway, I think it's completely age inappropriate on Justin (he's no longer 20!). The blue denim ruffled shirt is great looking, but it's not black-tie appropriate--particularly for a mass audience event like the SAG Awards. The shirt would be right at home with a pair of cords on an off day--or if he was attending a fashion industry event. I actually at first thought he pulled it from his own William Rast line. As a designer, he should have just plain known better. But to play devil's advocate, I think both the tuxedo and bowtie were red carpet appropriate--a fitted white shirt would just have been 1,000 times better. Hey, at least the shirt matched his eyes.

Shay Todd Ruffle Bikini: Snob or Slob?

I'm perplexed by this ruffle bikini. It is beautifully made and the colors are stunning but the top looks like it's made for a 5 year old because a woman with curves will not be able to carry the ruffle off. It almost looks like lingerie without the sex appeal and what's the point of that? What do you think of the ruffle bikini? Snob or Slob?

Rachel Pally Jumpsuit: Snob or Slob?

I am not much of a jumpsuit girl (traumatized by the green corduroy jumpsuits I wore in 3rd grade) but had to post this one. The front of the jumpsuit appears to be semi normal-- a t shirt tucked into a pair of pants, right? Wrong. Apparently the shirt is merely a flimsy bib and if the very thin model can't pull it off, I don't know who can. I don't like going without a bra and in the model's case, she shouldn't, either. I guess they were going for shock value but ended instead with cheese value. The very wide leg pants just further the sloppy look. This is an outfit that will probably end up in my email box from US magazine to critique for fashion police! As for the celeb I predict will wear it... Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton (they're one and the same as far as I'm concerned). $209 at Rachel Pally Kate Jumpsuit

Look of the Week: Lucy Liu Snob or Slob?

We love her accessories but the dress is a bit mature for Lucy. Putting her hair up in a severe bun doesn't help matters, I would have liked seeing her with loose curls to soften the look. But overall she is a Snob.


What do you guys think of her look? Snob or Slob?

Luella Joana Frill Dress - Gone Yodelin' - Snob or Slob?

user-pic


I saw this and immediately wanted to break out in a yodel (not as easy as you'd think). Luella ready to wear is as kitschy and silly as her bags and perhaps I should just see it as fun and disposable but at $940, it's not very disposable. This is the type of dress that will most definitely land in the last pages of US magazine aka Fashion Police. There are so many things wrong with it but let's just start with the bra like top-- complete with black lace underwire and strap-- the "Girls Next Door" would actually love it! Add to that a lampshade skirt and you have a total mess on your hands. What do you guys think? Snob or Slob and where would you wear this if you snob it?

Missoni -- Snob or Slob?

user-pic
Katie.JPGIs it just me or does anyone else long for the days of gorgeous Missoni pieces? Back when I was in High School I used to pass the Madison Avenue Missoni store everyday on my way to class and I remember always being in awe of the lovely mannequins decked-out in head-to-toe Missoni. These days it seems that like Pucci, the only good Missoni pieces left are vintage. I know poor Katie Holmes has been getting a lot of flack lately, but look at that skirt! If I didn't know it was Missoni I'd think it was a hoochie K-Mart buy. Check-out some of the house's recent pieces and let me know if you agree! I have to admit though I do love their shoes (especially the touch of signature-Missoni on the top of the heel!).
