...full of glee when I saw the purse hats," says Jessica Morgan, New York magazine fashion writer and Gofugyourself.com blogger, recalling Mizrahi's Fall 2009 New York Fashion Week show (held, naturally, in February). "Of course, if you wore it in real life, you'd look like a crazy person trying to shield herself from alien brain waves." Mizrahi wasn't the only designer to favor impractical headgear that season. That same week, designer Narciso Rodriguez sent one model down the runway in a cow-print-camouflage outfit accessorized with a bucket over her head. British Vogue described the ensemble...
...public. Actresses Diane Kruger and Leighton Meester frequently show up to events in runway gear. Victoria Beckham - who debuted her clothing label at this season's Fashion Week - has paraded around in everything from a tutu to something that made her look like a space robot.

Once they married in 2004 and she became a princess, Letizia frequently chose sober suits in neutral colors and evening gowns (see one forest green number worn to a 2006 state dinner for Vladimir Putin) that made her look like a very expensively upholstered sofa. But even at the beginning...
...dresses in brighter colors, tighter silhouettes, and with greater overall flair, she remains true to her signature high heel. Seldom photographed in anything lower than 3 inches, she is famous for her devotion to peep toes and platforms. So constant is that devotion, in fact, that when the princess wore ballet flats to a royal audience with students this summer, the gossip magazine Hola put the story at the top of its website.
