Well party people with Halloween almost upon us it’s time to dig out that scary get-up for a monster bash…and if you’re still up in the air as to who you will mimic - why not take inspiration from some of the most frightening fashion faux pas around, shriek!

* Please note there will be no mention of Lady Gaga, too easy my friends, besides life is short enough…Now brace yourselves for a style-slash horrorfest….

 

 

 

 

What was poor oul Bai Ling thinking? Must have been researching for a role as a high-vis vest, someone should have pointed out the high vis chest though…no floral appliqué in the world can turn this brute into cute! Ironically this was the outfit of choice for the Glamour awards, at least she has a sense of humour eh.

Unlike…

 

 

The normally flawless Lucy Liu! Whatthe?? Inspired by the crazy ‘boy in hot-air-spaceship-balloon’ nonsense, Lucy felt there would be no better way to boost her image than to be taken up, up and away by her inflatable marshmallow jacket over the red carpet and into the arms of the fashion police in the sky. Not even Charlies angels could prevent this crime…and speaking of crims - from the winehouse of fashion…

 

 

 

Okay, as far as targets go Amy is walkin about with a big ol permanent bullseye on her nut, but love if you’re gonna dress up as Dot Cotton grab yourself a paisley pinny and lose the Johnny tee- even the Deppster can’t do that chest justice. Never thought I’d say this but…bring back thine beehive! Makes our dressing-up fancies that little easier…now don your sunnies for our next character…

 

 

 

Translucent popster Nicola Roberts smuggling jelly tots into a red carpet event, tut tut..What the hell? Scariest thing is this girl is only 23 years old- the theme of the party must have been ‘your fave mutton dressed as lamb look’ why oh why oh why. Even that top-heavy barnet does nothing to distract from her sheer disaster of a frock – well since the gals have disbanded, the pasty one could start her own venture ‘hurls aloud’.

By God it’s Bai Ling again, just to finish off where we started – which is what Bai was obviously thinking getting dressed ‘Ah sure whats the point in frocking up over my undies when it’s coming off later anyway’. Yes Miss Ling save some time, but for fashion sake save some dignity next time…

Hopefully you havn’t been overly spooked and can match these horrors for a night of  frightening fun! And should you decide to avoid the carcrash outfits and fancy going as your fave vintage stars get thee to The Loft this Friday and Saturday for our special Halloween sale of 20% off!!

Former reality show chipstick Nicole Ritchie – daughter of Lino & once the spoiled socialite sidekick to Mz Hilton – is set to launch her first boho-styled clothing range. Now immediately recognisable in her signature maxi dress and headband combos, the 70s loving new mama will be adding that boho-chic vibe to her new collection of kimonos, tunics, slips, bedjackets and yes – maxi frocks! The label in waiting? ‘Winter Kate’ after her little girl Harlow Winter Kate.

Nicole has collected unique vintage jewellery pieces for years which inspired her to create the successful accessory line ‘House of Harlow 1960’ not so long ago. This collection was quickly followed up by a chic new line of maternity clothing for ‘Pea in the Pod’, so we weren’t too surprised to hear about her latest fashion venture. It seems motherhood and Mr Madden have changed the ways of the former wildchild who together have also set up the Richie Madden Foundation to help underprivileged children. Entrepreneur, fashionista and yummy mummy - the simple life indeed…

The Winter Kate Collection will be available Stateside in Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue and many more locations from February 2010.
