Sheesh! I was about to say who the hell wears that but then these are taken from real people! I bet they love being groped! Gross!

Night of Winners, not!



The Oscars was held on Monday with Slumdog Millionaire winning big this award season. (My parents watched it and has been telling everyone on how good the movie is. So, I think you should watch it!) Even if Slumdog Millionaire won big for the Oscars, I don't think Freida Pinto, the actress for the movie scored on the red carpet!



She may have chosen a John Galliano piece but its like Drew Barrymore's dress that she wore to the Golden Globes. Remember the curtain like finishings at the bottom of the dress?



See the similarities now? I didn't like the one Drew Barrymore wore nor do I like the one Freida Pinto wore but if I were to choose between these two evils, I'll have Drew Barrymore's dress.



Another one that I did not like is Beyonce's dress by, (surprise! surprise!) House of Dereon!Yes, perhaps the cut is very flattering and pretty classic but I am not so sure bout the massive gold prints. It kinda reminds me of upholstery. Sometimes, what looks good on furniture and curtains, don't neccessarily look good on human bodies! Drew, Beyonce and Freida take note! Or perhaps, upholstery is the new fashion?



As much as I love Heidi, I do not really like her luminous pink dress that looks super stiff and has a pretty high slit! To make things worst, she has to have a one shoulder collar. However, if you fancy it, its by Roland Mouret.



I thought its the financial crisis but after looking at many dresses the past award season, everyone seems to be having a little too much extra cloth that they just hang everywhere as seen here. This dress by Prada worn by Jessica Beil is one of those napkin dresses. Perhaps, its a symbol that the financial crisis ain't hitting them at all?



Yves Saint Laurent is known to have stunning works of art but this dress worn by Kate Winslet, ain't exactly what I call stunning. It could be that the picture does no justice but it kinda remind me of dresses that my school girls would wear from prom. Something pretty customade like how they wanna have french lace on the dress but can't really decide on it. This is what happens. Bits and pieces of lace stuck onto the dress.



I think Sarah Jessica Parker shops like a guy. It seems that she always sticks to the same silhoutte for her outfits. The only variation is the length. As a whole, it may not really look that bad but its so predictable that is has just become pretty forgettable. The slight hint with the undercoat showing through and lookin like Freida's and Drew's dresses doesn't help much. As such, I have no choice but to place Sarah Jessica in the winners category, not!



This dress by Valentino is, I don't know, but kinda looks ordinary. I have many of such dresses here in Singapore and somehow they look kinda cheap and what the slightly older mahjong playing ladies would wear. Sorry, Jennifer Aniston, but welcome to the world of wet market aunties!

C Lacroix for project runway?



While I was reviewing the fashions of haute couture week held in Paris, despite my busy schedule, I came across Christian Lacroix. I reckon by now, everyone would know that Christian Lacroix is famous for coming out with such flamboyant collection. This collection is no exception. However, what striked me was the (nope, not that bronze dress that looks kinda cheap) but the bow hair! It reminds me so much of a project runway cration by Allison. Remember the bow hair like Minnie Mouse?



Do you see the resemblance now? I though it was just a thing on the runways until I come across the next picture while looking for the infamous bow hair made public by Allison.



Lord, please save us! Well, at least Paris Hilton's bow hair ain't that obvious from the front! Thankfully, she did not wear it high!



Of course, the hair done in the Christian Lacroix show is done in braids which at least makes it look half as bad. Although I must say, the colors weaved into the brains are pretty .... well, unique!


In all Haute Couture shows, there will always be a highlight, in Christian Lacroix's case, its the wedding dress. I wonder who will be wearing it for their wedding soon.


So, what has been your favourite for this collection?

Hoof Shoes



I was dropping by the Fashion Police website and hold and behold, there was this picture of hoof heels! Have you ever dreamt of being some mystical creature like those in Narnia? If you do, I reckon this shoe is for you. Hmm, perhaps, those were the shoes they used in the movie. What do you reckon?

SACKED at SAC!

As usual, there will always be the people who has questionable tastes and here is a look at a couple of eyebrow lifting appearances at the recent Screen Actors Guild Awards.

First up, Lisa Rinna. I am pretty borderline about the color but I definitely do not like the super high slit of the dress. You could almost see whats underneath. I mean, I do not mind if its a wrap skirt worn over your bikini at the beach, but to the awards?


The next case is all about the color. It just seems weird especially when its on Eva Longoria's skin. Also, it kinda makes her a little old. Not my liking.


America Ferrera might have that bit of Ugly Betty stucked in her. Its just my opinion, I mean, some people actually love this dress. However, I am not quite diggin it honestly, I just don't like that black thingy stuck on the dress. Perhaps, it might have looked better without that sash like thingy and perhaps just like the thin black waist line. That would have looked more polished, I reckon.

Weight issues!



I reckon that everyone is pretty concerned about their weight recently especially after all the feasting from like Christmas to New Year to Chinese New Year. Its like a month plus of celebrations and parties and food and drinks and calories and fats and late nights and gym skipping. One celebrity who really partied the season away has got to be Jessica Simpson. She has gained quite a little bit of weight that its been the topic of conversations all over. Poor Jessica.



But of course, many celebrities including Heidi Klum, came to her aid and slammed tabloids for pointing fingers at her for being f.a.t. Personally, I have no problems with anyone being fat as long as they are healthy and some fat people are pretty gorgeous too! So, no worries, Jessica! Although, I have another worry about her and its not her weight. Apparently, someone needs to tell her to throw away her high waisted mom jeans. Like, my mom doesn't even wear that anymore. To add fuel to fire, why is she wearing that huge double buckled belt that kinda seem to cut her body from her growing hips. Sighs, I have no complains about your weight issues but I sure have lots to complain about your style issues! Boo hoo!

Angelina in a sack for SAC!


I am finally back from all the feasts this festive season and boy, am I bloated. I reckon I put on a couple of inches everywhere and perhaps, I should start wearing sack outfits like Angelina Jolie. Have you guys noticed that she has been appearing for events in this loose almost shapeless sack lately? Perhaps, she is just feeling a little conscious about her body after the pregnancy. Is she blind? I am very sure she isn't like bloated like I am after the festive season. So, please, get rid of all these sack dresses! They do you no good!

What were you thinking?

Now, with all that well dressed celebrities, there are bound to be a couple of embarrassingly dressed celebrities. So, here is a look at the celebrities who made the cut.

In order not to shock you, let us start if the average dresses like Angelina Jolie. She sure looks hot after just months of giving birth to twins but I just do not understand the dress. It looks so, hmm...I do not even know how to put it. It almost looks cheap and that's very bad when its on Angelina Jolie cause its pretty hard for her to make things look cheap. I reckon its the loose top that doesn't quite do it for me. It looks like putting on a t-shirt and tucking it in a skirt.




Also going for the gold on the red carpet was Beyonce Knowles. The dress is fine, the necklace gorgeous but I just can't breathe seeing her in the dress. The dress is like 2 sizes too small for her. Perhaps, that is why her smile seems restrained.



Beyonce's necklace and Eva Mendes almost look similar. Both are pretty exquisite. However, the dress that Eva Mendes wore seems like it had extra fabric stuck to the front or she has forgotten to remove her napkin after lunch.



Now, its beginning to get worse. I am confused with Marissa Tomei, she just looks so messy here. Too many frills, too many accesories and the white blouse and black skirt combination makes it slightly matrony but with a little rock 'n' roll vibe.



Another rockstar is Mickey Rouke. How I wish he would have worn the jacket slightly snuggier and a simple black matt shirt inside. It just looks too messy as it is.



My pick for the worst dressed celebrity is definitely, Renee Zellwegger. She is definitely in her own league. Seriously, what kind of a dress is that? Speechless....



Please learn from their mistakes, people!

Joely Richardson blinds us!


Joely Richardson, who appeared in Nip/Tuck Season 5 sure blinded everyone in London recently, and in a not-so-good way. In the recent London Fashion Week, she was spotted in this extremely reflective top which kinda reminds me of an armour! haha! What was she thinking?

More weird shoes.

So, two more shoes to add to the weird shoe collection. The first one is from Dsquared. Maybe, its not too bad. After all, it is kinda tone down. Apart from the lightning, the shoe looks kinda alright.
And the next one, I found will browsing through the internet. This has got to be the most environmentally friendly slippers ever! And, it is real grass mind you! Don,'t forget to water your slippers!

What the Heel?

If you read my previous article on Chanel's show in Miami, you would have noticed the gun shaped shoe in the first picture! Here is a closer look at that pair of heels! I don't quite like it!


Well, at least the Chanel shoes gave me the idea for this little article! You see, shoes are in abundance. Ladies love their shoes and designers are always coming up with fabulous new shoes to match that every outfit but along with those spectacular art comes the slightly wackier side of the heels. As such, today, we shall have a look at shoes that makes you go, "What the heel?" Yes, I am ONLY exploring the wackier heels category. There are more shoes that just gets you scratching but that will be for another time. So, let's start with platform shoes and wedges! The first one is from Alessandro Dell 'Acqua. To me, it looks like ocean liner from Barbie in Titanic. The pink is horrendous and I have a feeling that it weighs as much as a Titanic. Oh yeah, so avoid the shoes when you go on a cruise or to the beach. It sure will drown you.

The next one is kinda expected especially when its from Alexander Mcqueen! I mean, you can only expect over the top drama from Alexander Mcqueen. The shoes look like they are meant to be placed in the showcase at the Ancient Civilisation Museum or something. Its definitely a killer to walk in them. And do you know what else it reminds me of? The geisha shoes in Memoirs of a Geisha, the scene where Ziyi Zhang danced on the stage! Somehow the shoes give me that oriental vibe.
Now, this Giuseppe Zanotti heels are for the lady architects as this shoe is known as the architectural shoe. Its quite nice for the fact that is clean lines and a nice beige color. However, I wonder if there is any support for the wearer! I wonder...
Red thigh high platform shoes are not for the everyday women. It is for that superheroine, maybe Wonder Woman's classmate? And the designer remains a mystery too...hmm...Bare beauty. I do watch that show on Arts Central at times and I wonder if the next pair of shoes should be featured in it. After all, its a bare naked women at the heels. Then again, I think not since it doesn't quite fall into the category of beauty. More like barely there!
And the next few pictures will show you shoes by Prada. The first one I like. The diamonds on the heels. Fabulous! Reminds me of Louboutin! The rest of the shoes that you are about to see, I have no idea why they are created, especially the last one. The grotesque purple flower heels which at first, I thought was heel stuck in dog-poo, is totally horrendous. The others are still bearable or perhaps, even wearable! What do you think?



The following few are from Miu Miu. The Second one, the baby blue diamante heels are quite nice actually, but it takes some time to get used to it. Although, I think, if you were to look at it even longer, you might just find it a little bit too gawdy. The tea cup heels, on the other hand, are pretty cute. It looks like its from some fairy tale! Its a fantasy shoe! Nice to look at but maybe not too practical to wear. The rest of the shoes, well, I just don't know what's happening with them.


Christian Dior, what do you first think of? Sophistication and elegance? Perhaps, until you look at this slingback. As a whole, it looks classy enough but the heels are just weird. Yes, they do look lavish and luxurios but I just don't get the heels at all. I am not sure if Marc Jacobs was drunk when he got this shoe into production or it simply is just a reject cause isn't the heel attached at the wrong place?
While Marc Jacobs isn't sure where to place the heels, I wonder if the designer for the next shoe, whoever he or she is, forgot to place the soles. Hmmm...
Since everyone seems to be making mistakes with heels, Antonio Berardi thought that he can make no mistake when the shoes just don't have heels! Well, think again Antonio! Perhaps, he wanted ladies to have that feeling of walking on air in his shoes! Apparently, Victoria Beckham ordered a pair for herself! She doesn't need this shoes to be walking on air. With that stick figure, I am sure she can just flies off anytime she wants!
So, you have seen a few weird and a couple of nice heeled shoes. Which do you prefer or do you have anything else to add to this selection? By the way, some of the pictures are from Fashion Police. You can find their website under links!
