The Material Girl has come under fire many times in her career for her unique fashion sense, and she's not about to stop now. For the premiere of her new film, Filth and Wisdom (Madge is making her directorial debut), she wore a pair of Chanel stilettos with a handgun as the heel.

Alright so you want to wear a white suit. Phhhooo, this is a toughie. White suits often make a man appear like he thinks his ish don't stink. You know the type: majestic yet totally tacky, sexy yet a complete ago maniac, cool yet far from innocent. The bastards. Studs like P.Diddy and David Beckham are prime white suit candidates. And didn't Al Capone and Scarface wear them too? As you see it takes a heck of a man to rock this right.

So if you think you've got the stuff to pull a white suit off here are a few more rules to follow to make sure you're the dapperest don in the room.

So unless you've been living under a rock, you know that the movie version of Miami Vice drops across America on July 28th. And unless you've sealed yourself hermetically against culture industry buzz, you know that Jamie Foxx is reprising the role of former NY detective-turned-Miami-cop Rico Tubbs while Colin Farrell in playing bachelor crimefighter Sonny Crockett.

A little background for those of you not paying to pop culture during the Reagan/Bush years: Miami Vice was a criticaly acclaimed tv series on NBC. It was directed by the auteur Michael Mann (Collateral, Manhunter) and it almost singlehandedly defined man-cool (read: 3-day stubble, Armani suits, Porsches) during a major chunk of the 80s.

Fans loyal to the show will appreciate that Mann is directing the film. Equally awesome is the presence of Jan Hammer's original theme song.
