La Roux at the Shockwaves NME Awards - StyleFoul!

On Wednesday night the all the usual freaks came out to play at the Shockwaves NME Awards in London. Our friends Alice Dellal (no pants, again), Pixie Geldorf (blue-grey hair, thights and Keith Richards-esque air of dishevelment) , and Jaime Winstone (some kind of black feather shawl), all made an attempt at recapturing the StyleFoul crown.

Also, for what we believe may be the first time ever, Tim Burton was photographed next to Robert Smith on the red carpet, proving at last that they really are two separate people -- both of whom need to schedule a date with a cream rinse conditioner and a wide tooth comb.

But none of them could compare to the outfit "created" by "music artist" La Roux.

Take a pair of navaho blanket print skinny pants, add in a black and white graphic-print pirate shirt, plus a couple of cameo necklaces and a heavy dose of Flock of Seagulls hair ... add it up and you've got today's StyleFoul!

    The NME awards are notorious for eccentric fashion choices, but none of them could compare to the outfit "created" by "music artist" La Roux. Wow.

    Getty Images

    Naomi's extra-long gown at the Vanity Fair Oscar afterparty seemed familiar. So we checked and, sure enough, we had seen it before -- on Daryl Hannah in the 1984 hit movie Splash!!

    Everett Collection/Getty Images

    Michelle Monaghan sports an orange Louis Vuitton dress with a sequined side cut out. And tulle. And net. And mesh. And matching LV shoes with feathers. Will it ever stop?

    Getty Images

    Keira Knightley's smug expression is just begging us to judge this outfit that's somehow too small and too big at the same time.

    Getty Images

    We just have two questions: Why is Tilda Swinton wearing the human flesh dress made by serial killer Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs? And couldn't she at least have it tailored to fit her?

    Neither the color green nor those unfortunate shoulder pads are helping Jennifer Connelly look any healthier on the red carpet -- girl needs to eat!

    Getty Images

    Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, went pattern crazy while playing with the puppies at the Metropolitan Police Dog Training Centre in Cornwall, UK.

    Getty Images

    Up-and-coming Australian actress Teresa Palmer is drop-dead gorgeous. The shiny hair, the bright, expressive eyes, the thin-but-not-scary-skinny body ... she seems to have the whole package. Except, maybe, for the whole dressing for the red carpet part.

    Getty Images

    The thing is, we love the fit of this dress -- it's super flattering and classy. And Teresa shines in light colors, so the white and beige is beautiful. But seriously, what is the deal with the beige bra cups?

    Should we get past the weird boob accessories since we love the rest of the look so much? Or are those a deal breaker?

    Getty Images

    Of course Teresa isn't the only celeb who suffers from the occasional red carpet flop. Scarlett Johansson clearly has her off days.

    Oversized gold coat, check. High waisted pants that are way more frumpy than fashionable, check. What the heck was Scarlett Johansson thinking when she wore this outfit to the photocall for The Spirit in Madrid? This outfit is old lady-ish, and not in the sometimes hip Mary-Kate Olsen kind of way.

This is a load of rubbish. La Roux's lead singer always looks gorgeous. Just because the people in the US make safe fashion choices doesnt mean everyone on the planet should. For God sakes look at Lady Gaga, Lily Allen, and Katy Perry. Lady Gaga looks hideous without her makeup and Katy Perry is nothing special. What's so wrong about La Roux?
