IT seems a bit mean to say this but here goes anyway.
Kylie Minogue is looking a bit of a mess. We know, we know . . . poor Kylie, triumphing over illness, having her heart broken over Olivier Martinez and wondering if she'll ever make it down the aisle and have babies . . . you're not meant to make digs at her appearance.
But that hideous Ungaro dress obviously fashioned out of multi-coloured crepe paper? Never mind the aggressively boring little dress she wore to the Q music awards last week?
Off duty she's favouring a mammy-ish look and, not that anyone is suggesting that's she's had too much work done, but if her eyebrows get any higher they'll end up on the back of her head.
But we've all been brainwashed to think that Kylie cannot commit a sartorial sin in our eyes.
The ratty looking Sienna 'style-icon' Miller is another example of such propaganda. What does she do apart from mooch around in the strangest, ill-conceived outfits on her days off and now she's lost her ability to scrub up well too.
Witness what she wore to recent premiere . . . a totally pedestrian embroidered white ensemble with a scooped neck . . . just like something you'd pick up in Coast.
Lovely to be sure, but fashion forward? Hardly.
As for Kate Moss, she hasn't had an exciting fashion moment in about three years. No. More.
Waistcoats. Please.
Cate Blanchett is yet another fashion deity we're meant to swoon over but her last few red carpet appearances have been dire.
What's with the blue diaphanous caftan thing?
Our eyes are bleeding.
Likewise too with Sarah Jessica Parker who, if you separate her from her Sex and the City persona only ever wears variations on a 'strapless with a massive skirt' theme.
So who to look to when we want some bang-ontrend inspiration? After much head scratching, the best we can do is model de jour, Agyness Deyn.
We're almost reaching saturation point with her but not quite. She's edgy, she's cool she's different but most of all she's new.
And we are fickle.
