This Week's

(Best Friends Forever Elise Overland and Hope Atherton)

I actually like Overland's belt. But.

Second entry in this week's More Money Than Taste competition (Grrlfriends division):

(Lauren du Pont and Renée Rockefeller)

Actually, du Pont -- in Nina Ricci -- would not be all that bad, except for the ridiculous sleeves and the whole "long bag" silhouette. But there is simply no excuse for Rockefeller's couch throw.

A similar thing is going on here: one friend doing almost okay and the other blowing the wrong way over the tire-shredder:

(Kathy Hilton in Tory by TRB and Linda May Suzar)

And in the MMTT Individual Achievement category, we have

Fe Fendi in Fendi

Rendi, mendi, horrendi.

And is she wearing ORANGE earrings?

Patchwork Pat

Pat and Michael York. Pat has been caught in the Faux Folk Wear vortex swirled up by (say it loud) Raaaalph Lauren.

What a juxtaposition.

I have enough padding, thank you

The reviewer at Style.com said that Rowley's quilted satin numbers "fell rather flat." I'd say just the opposite...they felt rather FAT.

I mean, really, who wants to wear a bedspread as an evening dress, even if you do have an 18-inch waist?

Brave Woman, Big Mistake

The lady in red is Bishop Ikram Goldman, in Lanvin Couture. The bridesmaid sleeve thing is ridiculous enough in its tamer versions; poofed out to ecclesiastical proportions, especially on a woman this size, it's madness.

As much as I rail against women of substance showing too much upper arm, I have to admit that there are worse things.

Another Wardrobe Malfunction Waiting To Happen

Janet Jackson and our favorite nut, Anna Piaggi, editor of Vogue Italia

I know I'm not the only person in the world who's bugged by the too-long sleeves thing. And of course there's also the Big Baggy happening. Looks like nice material and workmanship, though. Woulda been a contender if it had FIT her.

Continuing the urp-alicious trend of shapely women wearing shapeless bags....
