Well now. I have to say that I am on the verge of being appalled when I look at this photo of Lady GaGa, set to perform with her band. Now, let me be clear. I’m all for taking risks. I’m all for flashy performance-time outfits. I’m even all for frisky black leather on occasion. But I am NOT for trashy, bathing suit-esque hoochie mama get-ups with mongo leather bows and dominatrix gloves under any circumstances. None at all. I’m starting to wonder if the pukey economy is beginning to work its way into Hollywood, putting all the one-time sensible stylists out of a job. Oh, I know that stars have always made gasp-worthy fashion choices along the way, but at least you could count on some halfway decent selections here and... [Read more]

The Oscars. What a wondrous Hollywood event. The epitome of Hollywood glamour and fashion…usually. For several years, we saw some pretty scary frocks sashaying down the Red Carpet, but this year, I am thrilled to say, was a fabulous return to glamour. Many, many starlets rocked the RC with some of the most beautiful dresses in years (hello Penelope, Angelina, SJP et al). However… Image: Bauer Griffin Of course, where there is fab fashion, there is also freaky fashion. Case in point: Jessica Biel. Just what in the hell was Jess thinking here? What in the world is that appendage hanging off her gown? It’s like there is some bizarro bib type situation going on. Or maybe just a stray hunk of fabric that somehow worked its way... [Read more]

Kate Beckinsale is one hot chica, for sure. In fact, I normally totally dig the girl since she’s usually all lovely and stylish and what not. However… Something very, very wrong happened here. Somehow on her way to a Fashion Week show her dress became mangled and she was left with no choice but to create a dress out of a Hefty bag. Pity, huh? Thankfully, she accessorized her, um, dress, but unfortunately, the shoes were another miss. Just what in the hell is the fascination with these things? Seriously, I need to know. Hoof covers like these turn up way too often, and they’re still ugly as ever. Blech. Overall, I am crazy disappointed in this look. Kate has looked so much better so many times. Why the eff up now, I wonder?... [Read more]

The lovely Isla Fisher, star of the mega-fun Confessions of a Shopaholic, is sure living up to her alter ego’s rep, as seen here. She is totally rocking this casual look, right down to her little piggies (and the sandals that carry them). Now we all know that I’m not one to go about tossing compliments around, but in this case, Ms. Fisher totally deserves some props from The Snarky One. She’s got a fabulous style going and the confidence to match. Work it, girlfriend. The rest of H-wood should take note. Image: Bauer-Griffin [Read more]

Extra, extra! It’s Fashion Week in New York City and former American Idol finalist Kellie Pickler was on hand for the festivities after having been attacked by a department store makeup counter facialist. What a trooper! For the girl to step out even after being blushed to death, lipsticked to a bloody pulp and eyelashed from here to tomorrow is quite amazing. She must be one helluva fan of whatever designer she was seeing that day. I mean, for real. Now, I must say that I totally dig this coat, but beyond that, the girl is a mess. The hair is much too slicked back and the makeup is so damn over the top I worry for those who were photographed with her. Gah! Fashion Week is all about taking chances and “being seen” and Gawd... [Read more]
