In the increasingly dull world of red carpet fashion, if you can even call it fashion, there is little creativity. Generally, there's lots of tulle and silk and lovely gowns with draping and pleating and whatnot. However most celebrities are nervous to wear something daring or unconventional because they actually care what the so called "Fashion Police" have to say. Lets note that said organization is comprised of Jay from America's Next Top Model, Guliana from E! news, Khloe Kardashian, and Joan Crawford. They aren't entirely knowledgeable. It's like asking the Gossip Girl cast to replace the panel of the Academy Awards; and I adore Gossip Girl so for the record that's not a dig.

Anyway, here we have Anna Paquin, of X-Men and True Blood fame, wearing one of the looks from Alexander McQueen's spring '10 collection to the SAG awards. The man is a bit of a celebrity himself considering his most recent inclusion of Lady Gaga's unreleased single in his show that was simultaneously streamed live online. It's so nice to see his work displayed to such a broad audience. Whether it's her, or her stylist, the choice was refreshing and I'm kind of proud, in a weird extremely detached way.

Mind you, the "Fashion Police" said that her outfit was not very fashionable and that "she should wear one print at a time."

I think that sums up their credibility.

So it's a bit redundant to say that Miley Cyrus is a teen idol fallen off the tracks. Although maybe that's a little harsh, considering it was only a few scandalous photos and boy toy choices, but she's one of those celebrities that keeps on trucking even when the going gets rough, probably because she's to rich to care. Don't get me wrong, I am thoroughly amused by her antics and I used to be a huge fan of the show, but I'm far from paying my own money to hop on the Miley train, evidenced by the photo above. Her Max Azria collaboration for Walmart (of all places) was another eye roll for me and most of the public over the age of 12. I pause for a moment and think to myself, poor Max, he's been dragged into this by his money hungry publicists, no doubt. Walmart is a wonderful place for those who are hard on cash but it's the last place a Designer ever wants to bear his name. Vera Wang at Kohls is enough.

Never in my right mind would I envision myself owning a single article of clothing from that line, but lo and behold, the surprises of Christmas morning never cease to amaze. My Grandmother decides to gift us all with pieces from Miley's "collection" and upon reading the label, I barked a laugh. It was when I put it on and looked in the mirror that I fell speechless.

I liked it.

So with this lovely purple tag hanging from all of our candidates we can begin the dissection. There's not much I can say about the logo. There's a slightly different one on the inside of the shirts with a wonderfully creative butterfly but that's it. I would have gotten excited if it was a cowboy hat or a frozen yogurt cup maybe.

*So as a general disclaimer all of the shirts were quite form fitting but they were all smalls and mediums. I'm sure if the right sizes are chosen the clothing would fit a little more comfortably. Moving on.

This shirt was what caught my eye at first. I didn't know where it was from but when I opened the gift I thought it was generally pretty cute. I love peacock feathers and I'm trying to embrace purple as one of the current colors of the season. The shirt is actually pretty vibrant without being flashy. It's a v-neck with helps me to tame my endowed torso, so that's a plus. Overall its a cute shirt for the price my grandma paid. I mean come on, there's no lasso or plaid anywhere, so I'd consider this a step in the right direction.


Right after christmas I planned to jet off to England to visit my friends and Grandma thought I should wear this little number around town when I get there. Yeah, didn't really do that, or pack it in my suitcase at all. Still, it's cute to wear now that I'm back and it's desperate cry for punk rock is nice with it's faded paint effect. This one is the most form fitting but this was a small where the other is a medium so that explains that. At least Miley is becoming a little more worldly.


*I spelled Blouse wrong, my bad*

I am shamelessly guilty of liking this shirt. It's incredibly flattering with it's blouse effect around the waist and black looks good on everyone. The shape and the scoop neck are just wonderful for the upper torso problem area it's almost up to caliber with a good find from Forever 21, also a guilty pleasure. The only thing I can whine about is the material is kind of flimsy and will last about as long as the next song Miley shits out next. I will cherish it until then.

My aunt received studded faux leather leggings and some bizarre pink top from Miley's debut line, but you can seek those out on your own. Do it for Max Azria and his now horribly disfigured public image. Even though moving from High school homecoming dresses to a line at Walmart isn't a significant plunge.

One word that I used frequently and accurately to sum up this collection is "cute." Although that word may be complimentary, it's a very simplifying compliment delegating her fashion creations as nothing more and nothing less.
