We’ll admit to a mild obsession with The Sweet Escape, if only for Gwen’s video starring some jailed Harajuku girls and the striped dress at right.
It was certainly designed for Gwen, but we remember a very like version sailing down the Giles runway. Then it turned up in Vogue a few months ago on MisShape Leigh Lezark.
If you want the actual dress, you can buy it on Net-A-Porter for $4000.
Meanwhile, if you realize huge striped dresses only look good on pop stars, electro-waif DJs, and Bette Franke, you can channel the vibe with these $88 flats from Jeffrey Campbell. They look expensive, they fit every body type, and because they’ve got no heels, you can wear them when you sprint after Akon, or Gwen, or whomever you privately stalk.

Gwen is unbelievable - she's over 30, has had a child and can still look amazing in thick horizontal stripes. Who else can do that without looking like an overweight zebra?
