I don't even know where to begin with this one. Miley Cyrus rocked the red carpet at the Met Gala and even made my best dressed list. But this look is Just So wrong and not in a so-wrong-its-right kind of way. (more...)

Fashion Photo of the Day 5/10/13 - Kate Bosworth

Sometimes I forget that Kate Bosworth is an actress. Not because she isn't talented or doesn't work or is on the news all the time for questionable behavior. It's because she is Just So beautiful and perfectly dressed at all times that I mistake her for a model or an Olivia Palermo type, who's job is to be stylish and fashion forward so that others can see how it's done. Maybe Palermo and Bosworth and Diane Kruger can join forces and become like fashion's Charlie's Angels and save women from making tragic fashion mistakes. Too much? Fine, maybe in my dream world.
