Katie Holmes - Broadway StyleFoul!

Email thisPosted Oct 20th 2008 at 11:34AM by Kristen Seymour

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.

Debbie Phelps (you know, Michael's mom) and Chico's share the love

Debbie Phelps--mother of swimming phenom Michael--got more airtime during these Olympic games than most of the athletes. But while her adorable reactions to her son's gold-medal wins made for good TV, she's not exactly someone most of us would consider a style icon. "Most of us," however, does not include Chico's, purveyor of pantsuits.

The Chico's higher-ups heard that Phelps, a school principal, had stocked up on some of their brightly-colored separates before jetting off to Beijing. (Including the "Travelers Rouge Geo Print Jacket" she's wearing in this picture.) So the company created a special section called The Debbie Phelps Collection on their site to feature her favorites.

As WWD reports, "Chico's does not have a formal agreement with her, but talks are under way with her management team about potential collaborations." Our advice to Debbie Phelps: if you already have your own management team, why not add a stylist to the payroll?

Paula Abdul, daring fashion darling

Monday night on American Idol, Paula Abdul provided one of the most jaw-dropping, crazy fashion moments of her career.

As always, Jessica from Go Fug Yourself did a stellar job of expressing the shock and awe that Paula's black, silk, fingerless, opera-length gloves, plus -- PLUS! -- rhinestone accessories, inspired in all of us.

I was so inspired, that I went back and pulled together a gallery of some of Paula's most interesting sartorial hits. Honestly, she looks good more than she looks bad - no, really! - but when she goes off the rails, fasten your seatbelt!

Highlights of the exciting gallery include bright colors, gathered capris, ruffles, cleavage and one nutty Boy George hat.

Adieu, Rochas!

I once had a nutcase boss who had placed a strict moratorium on use of the word "pantsuit." I'm sure she didn't have an acutal reason for the ban -- it was more like she did it to exercise control over her underlings. Anyway, the running joke in my office was that the Devil, in fact, did not wear Prada -- she wore Rochas! (FYI : Rochas popularized the pantsuit.)

But the pantsuit-happy Rochas is no more. The Parisian design house will close its doors following the fall collection this year. The reason? Well, it seems that its parent company, pharmaceutical power-house Procter and Gamble didn't know enough about the ready-to-wear fashion business to turn a profit.

As a result, designer Oliver Theyskens will soon be out of work, and the Devil will have to go back to wearing Prada.
