Britney goes neck brace chic

Britney Spears never fails to entertain with her wacky fashion antics. After her rodeo hooker outfit didn't pan out, the star appears to have transitioned into something subtler -- accident victim.

Pretty random. Pretty dumb looking.

But apparently no matter how odd Britney dresses, someone, somewhere will think it's cool and try to copy her. Just take a look at Gemma Atkinson, a British celebrity who thought she'd give neckwear a try.

Did some rumor sweep through celebrity circles about the dangers of exposing your neck to sunlight? Or is this an honest-to-goodness trend?

Whatever the case, we all know who really introduced the world to neck brace chic -- Joan Cusack in 16 Candles. Now that was cool.

Assuming Gemma is the one pictured on the right, she actually made this "style" look good. Britney? Not so much.

Brit just about ***almost*** gets it right every time (whether it's one of her quirky original styles or not), but not quite -- she misses it by a beat or two.

You think maybe Brittney put that on to cover her face from the crazy picture takers and not trying to make a fashion statement? Some people should just stop thinking all together.

looks awfully close to what michael jackson did....covering the neck, then the face....then finally, the whole head...including the heads of his children! fame does some strange things to people.

I love Britney! I am sure she has a valid reason for wearing the towel around her neck...maybe HIDING from photogs~! OR MAYBE, just MAYBE, she figured she would get a little more publicity out of the paparazzi talking shit...all those silly pics keep making Miss B $$$!!! Keep on talking crap, BAD publicity is STILL PUBLICITY! One last thought for you...If the rest of us looked like Britney, we could all wear towels and stupid shit and still look FAB...here's to wishing to be a little more like Brit! ;) She will be back on TOP in no time...I, for one, can't wait for more either! She is AWESOME:)

She probably had her neck lipo'd and tucked, to remove the "waddle" she had. She looks less "jowley" lately.

Leave this girl alone--- She is trying to make it in a world, that is only here to bring people down. She is a good person, and i would only hope you never face this world in the eyes of her. You would never be able to make it one day, and i bet 1000.00 Bucks you would end up killing yourself because you couldn't handle it.. LEAVE THESE PEOPLE ALONE.. LET THEM HAVE A LIFE

haha...Gemma does sort of make it work better than Brit, but they both look down right RIDICULOUS. Besides, in case you don't already know this, Gemma was once in the rather famous British soap Hollyoaks...she was acting as a stripper in one of the run-offs of the show. As for how I know her, she is currently dating Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United, BEST DAMN TEAM ON THIS PLANET!!!! GO UTD!!!
