Regarding the " Designer Yves Saint Laurent must have had dolls on the brain -- specifically, Russian matryoshka nesting dolls -- when he sent this cocoon-shaped getup down a Paris runway in 1965."

What the hell was he thinking? It looks like a sleeping bag she didn't want to get out of. Yikes!

At least she's covered. Not my choice for a wedding gown - but nice for a Halloween party in New York's Greenwich Village.

It's a bit shocking that as "fashion" people you're ripping on styles from different eras. Princess Diana was wearing what was considered to be a trendy style in the 80's. Just as many of the second, third and fourth time brides were not wearing white gowns but colored dresses or suits. It's what was proper for their time. How do people in fashion talk like this? How do you think designers will feel in 20 years when the "fashion" people of that time are ripping on their creations....the ones that are trendy and popular now? Think before you rip so much on previous eras of fashion. Remember, styles always come back in vogue. You only make yourself look petty by articles like this.

I don't understand why Pamela Anderson bothered to put on a bare minimum bikini top & bottom.  Why didn't she just go NAKED??  Also, I don't understand why she & the groom are merely holding hands.  How come they're not f--king in front of the crowd?  I think Pamela restrains herself too much.  I thought she's be posing for pictures of her       c-nt.

What I'd like to know is -  why did Coco bother to cover her boobs??  She should have just thrown those fat balloons in everyone's face.  Oh, she did.

Think the cocoon shaped dress by YSL is very interesting - a little confining - but quite beautiful, elegant & different!
