Oversized gold coat, check. High waisted pants that are way more frumpy than fashionable, check. What the heck was Scarlett Johansson thinking when she wore this outfit to the photocall for The Spirit in Madrid? This outfit is old lady-ish, and not in the sometimes hip Mary-Kate Olsen kind of way.

Fortunately somebody knocked some sense into the new Mrs. Ryan Reynolds and switched her into a lace top and patterned skirt combo that looks absolutely divine on her. She made the change later that very same day for a cocktail party celebrating The Spirit.

Scarlett's spirit co-stars Paz Vega and Eva Mendes also attended both events. Eva was cute as a button in both a white, and Pepto-Bismo pink number, while Paz heated up the red carpet first in a cafe con leche colored dress and then in a chocolate brown frock.

But obviously ScarJo isn't the only celeb with the occasional red carpet flop. In fact, this high-fashion faux pas are surprising common.
Here we see London, we see France, we see Gwyneth Paltrow in Paris at the premiere of "Two Lovers" wearing another weird dress. Plus we see underpants! And her bra!

Ashley Tisdale always plays the well-to-do (and well-dressed) girl, so we're really confused as to why she would choose to wear this atrocity at the German premiere of High School Musical 3.

Why the giddy look on your face Jessica Biel? Are you actually happy that your dress for the London Film Festival makes your torso look eight miles long? Or maybe she's smiling because she feels good about the fact that the skirt bubbling right at the hips doesn't make her look absolutely immensely ginormous as it would most women -- since she works out all day and has one of the best bodies in Hollywood, it only makes her look a little bit ginormous.

We appreciate the fact that Katie Holmes takes fashion risks -- being as tall and thin as she is, she can pull off a lot of craziness that we mere mortals couldn't dream of wearing. However, that doesn't mean she should wear whatever she wants, because there's just no excuse for wearing this on the opening night of your Broadway debut.

You know, it's not like we expect a lot from Jack Black. In fact, he's worn far worse than the "shocking" suit he sported at the Tropic Thunder premier in London, and we let it go. Hey, he's a chubby funny man who lives his look. Usually he appears to have rolled out of bed and on to the red carpet, and usually we try to appreciate (somewhere, deep in our cold, cold heart) that authenticity.Usually.

Katy Perry is taunting us, and we do not appreciate it.

We're not really understanding the concept of this dress -- unflattering fluffy fringe to make your hips look wider on purpose?!? WTF.

Do you see better fashion on the ride to work than you do in Vogue magazine -- or are you stuck with JC Penny's, and dreaming about H&M? While it's certainly possible to be stylish anywhere, the fashion-forward tend to flock to a few choice locations around the globe. But where?Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Celebrities with Style
Not that he's any sort of litmus test for normalcy, but Karl Lagerfeld seems to think that the hoopla about skinny models is full of bunk. Citing the existence of something he calls "skinny bones", Lagerfeld suggested that the models who did not pass the BMI test in Madrid were not necessarily unhealthy, even if the UN says they are. Skinny bones, eh? Never heard of that one before.

Forget about Madrid's ban on super-skinny models! Milan just passed a law that all runway models who plan to walk in the Fall 2007 shows this coming February must be accompanied by a medically certified clean bill of health. City officials say that the regulation is intended to discourage eating disorders, particularly anorexia.Filed under: Runway Trends, Style in the News
When I read Sarah's account of Madrid's ban on models with a BMI of less than 18, I started wondering what that number actually meant in comparison to some of the world's top models. (BMI is Body Mass Index, a measure of weight proportionate to height.) Of course, any person's BMI is a moving target, so all reports of celebrity BMI should be taken as speculative unless made by the celebrity herself while in a startlingly confessional mood. Likewise, the standard healthy-BMI level is a matter of opinion, with some authorities asserting a low ideal of 18-24, and others offering a more relaxed range of 22-26.

In a move that could have models making midnight runs for chili cheese fries, Madrid's fashion week has caused an uproar in the fashion industry by banning underweight models from the runways. The city's government and event organizers say that the restriction is an effort to to project an image of beauty and health rather than flaunting rail-thin, waif-like heroin-chic as desirable for girls and young women. The event has hired medics to measure models and calculate BMI. So far, 30% of the models have been turned away.
