Lordy, lordy! It was a glitzy affair indeed in Monte Carlo this weekend with the Monaco royal family getting together for its famous Rose Ball. However, it seems that one royal took this year's theme, La Movida (the colourful Spanish movement of the '80s) a little too far...
Heather Mills... you have some 'splaining to do... And I'm not just talking about that whole throwing-water-over-your-ex's-lawyer incident either.
On perhaps the most important day of her life, the former wife of Sir Paul McCartney, decided to rock up to the settlement day of her divorce hearing in this disaster of an outfit.
Apparently, Miss Mills has taken to making her own clothes. According to her agent in Los Angeles, she is ignoring the skills of leading designers in favour of doing it herself.
If true, I'm surprised that this awful display of colour panelling didn't offend the court completely. Take note of the half-blue, half-tan coloured waistcoat, matched with a similar jacket, not forgetting the one green sleeve, worn all on top of a red shirt. Goodness knows how the trousers escaped this multi-coloured mess, but I'm sure glad that they did.
What do you think of her self-styling efforts? Do you rate it or hate it? Tell us below!
It's probably safe to say that at some point or another, you've found yourself at a club bopping along to - or doing your best to resist - that catchy tune Ice Ice Baby. (Or if you were *ahem* lucky to have been old enough, you might've actually known the actual moves and danced along to the music vid when it first came out - not that I'm admitting to anything here guys!)
So now is your chance to have something you never thought you'd EVER have in your wardrobe to immortalize the musical legend known as Vanilla Ice - an oversized mini dress by Ksubi with his mug splashed across the front.
I'm still not 100 per cent sure who Abigail Clancy is. From what I can gather, she was once a runner-up on Britain's Next Top Model and is now a WAG (girlfriend of English footballer Peter Crouch). I think that pretty much explains why I'm now seeing her in this... erm... sheath?! Grab some stretchy material, cut two holes out for your arms and a bigger one for your head and ladies, you've got yourself a hoisery style dress! Even on the off-chance that Abi wasn't aware her sheath was see-through, surely her underwear alone deserves a gentle rap across the knuckles. Honestly... it's the Brit Awards; there are children watching!
Marie Claire recently put Rachel Zoe’s styling skills to the test - we all know her clients are all super skinny, thus making her job a lot easier when you barely have to navigate over curves. They set Zoe the task of trying her fashion theories (as seen in her new book) on their size 12 staffer, Cleo Glyde. The series of outfits include a vintage find (which had a "Cabbage Patch doll fussiness" on Cleo), a batwing dress, and a mini dress and boots. But none of these outfits had the same pizzazz as it would have had on the likes of Mischa Barton or Lindsay Lohan. Perhaps her theories only worked on matchstick sized girls? Or the clothes selected weren't quite right? When Glyde tried on the pretty purple dress (pictured), it apparently was a success. "Zoe goes for bold color statements and surprising accessories. In this outfit, I could see why," Glyde says.

We interrupt our normal Frock Horror of the Week scheduling to bring you this truly shiny disaster at the Australian premiere of Nicole Kidman's new film The Golden Compass. Is it a space suit? Is she trying to work the metallic leggings look? I'm not sure, but whatever it is it needs to be seriously addressed. Nic, you know I adore you, what with being Aussie, tall and blonde we have a few things in common (minus the country-singer hubby and squillions in the bank) but rrreally what's going on here? If you're looking for silver suit inspiration then look towards Cate Blanchett and not the Tin Man... please!

I have a vague smug feeling about writing this week's Frock Horror and it being about the bossiest woman in fashion. Pardon the pun (but it really must be said) this is what NOT to wear on the red carpet. Trinny Woodall co-presenter of UK styling show What Not To Wear wore this awful midi length (I think) dress to the World premiere of St Trinians.
There are so many things wrong with this dress that it's hard to know where to start but I'm gonna give it a go. Obviously the colour is a problem, this party season is all about metallics but not when it resembles tin foil. Also, Trinny was obviously trying to create curves with this dress but it doesn't quite work and instead highlights how boyish she is. The neck line could be a lot more flattering, I think that it needs to be slightly higher. At least she got the shoes right! Let us know what you think.
