Frock Horror: The Cheetah Girls

About six years ago I bought a sequin butterfly poncho thing. I never wore it. It was a mistake. It's even more of a mistake teamed with skintight leggings. Hello, camel toe.

Also, what's going on with the one on the left?!

Frock Horror: Cindy Margolis

cindymargolis.jpgIt's a recipe for disaster, isn't it? The former 'Queen of the Internet' (the most-downloaded person of 1999) rocking up to a Playboy party on the arm of a man who'd won a date with her in a competition.

If Cindy Margolis has turned up in a chic little black dress, I would have been very disappointed. Ironically, this dress is actually very appropriate for the event. But that doesn't stop me from jumping on it and naming it this week's Frock Horror. It's the garment equivalent of a car crash. You don't want to look, but you can't help yourself.

I suppose what I should really do is open this up as a caption competition. My suggestion?

"Can someone tell this jerk that my face is up here."

Frock Horror: Eva Green does Morticia (again)

evafrockhorror.jpgEva Green is gorgeous. In fact, she's more than gorgeous. She's 'there is no point my ever leaving the house if this is what I have to compete with' gorgeous.

Luckily for us, most of the time she seems to be intent on making herself look as ungorgeous as she possibly can.

Eva is one of the few women in the world who can really wear tricky fashion and crazy couture. Usually when a star puts on an origami Dior confection or a frothy Givenchy frock, the dress wears them. But Eva's gothic beauty is enough to compete. Usually.

But this? Well, it's a frock horror, isn't it? With the scary hair, the Halloween makeup, the weirdy arm fluff and the unflattering boob support (or lack thereof) it's all just a bit much! Nice try, Morticia, but it's a far cry from this perfect ensemble.

Frock Horror: Tina Hobley's skimpy number at Cartier Polo

tinafrockhorror.jpgTina Hobley gave birth to a daughter in mid-April, so she's looking pretty damn good for a new mum. That said, I can't understand why she'd want to wear something so skimpy to the the Cartier Polo. I know it was a hot day, but that's no excuse!

For an event that's attended by royalty, I just think this dress is far too short. There seemed to be a bit of a theme at the Polo this weekend, with TV stars playing 'how high can your hemline go'. I'm sure Prince Charles was loving it.

Outfit Horror of the Week: Jordan's (a.k.a. Katie Price) Cirque Du Soleil ensemble @ book launch, London

My eyes... my eyes! It is has been a while since we featured our favourite Frock/Outfit Horror of the Week regular, Jordan, or is it Katie Price these days? I forget. Anyway, it was great to see the glamour model-turned-author chose to dress down at the launch of her new book, Angel Uncovered, yesterday. Gussied up beyond belief in sparkles, feathers, stilettos, a bra and a tiara... naturally, Price looked as though she might have been auditioning for a part in Cirque Du Soleil. I don't know what's more frightening, her outfit, or news reports that girls as young as 13 are aspiring to look like this.

Frock Horror of the Week: Janet Jackson's kimono catastrophe at Alexander McQueen store launch

What is with all the kimonos lately? Is there some secret celebrity geisha girl conference going on that I don't know about? Because I really don't understand what would tempt Janet Jackson to try out this style out for herself.

Frock Horror of the Week: Jodie Marsh lets it all hang out at 'Three and Out' premiere, London

jodiemarshfrockhorrorthreeout.jpg


We haven't featured 'glamour model' Jodie Marsh (the confused lass who thinks studded belts are actually skirts) in quite a while, so I thought it was about darn time. Known for her ample bosom, and for marrying a complete stranger on an MTV reality show last year (it lasted three months) Marsh rocked up to the première of Three and Out in London overnight in this check/bow monstrosity. See beyond those well-endowed assets for a moment and this is actually quite a demure choice for Marsh. However from the back, that exposed bra, while helping to keep things level on top is diverting my attention to the unsightly muffin top creeping out of the sides - gah! Also, Victoria Beckham phoned and she wants her hairstyle back...
