We're generally fans of Michelle Obama's fashion sense, but we really must wag a finger at the future first lady's dress from last night. What's going on with that? Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad if she didn't have that black silk cutting across the red, but we're not sure.

Michelle, when you're packing up for the White House, leave that number behind…

Regardless, that's one good looking first family!

Richard Blackwell, the fashion critic who once called Madonna "The Bare-Bottomed Bore of Babylon," died this Sunday of intestinal complications at the age of 86. He founded the Ten Worst Dressed Women list, was a semi-popular fashion designer, and (literally) wrote the book on fashion disasters.

If life was a Russian novel by Gogol or Dostoevsky, it would come as no surprise that such an acidic tongue would ultimately be silenced by an infection of the bowels.

As it is not, let's pay homage to the grandfather of snark with a couple of his more cutting zingers…

The New England Patriot had started negotiations to star in a Calvin Klein underwear campaign, but now he's apparently too modest to show off his goods.

At least there's always that attention whore, David Beckham.

Faux Foreskin still tops our list of ridiculous male accessories, but "mantyhose" definitely place in the top five. Plus, they're hideous!

To those of you who spent money on these frivolous pieces of scrap: stop.

Lesbian journalist Emily Hartl has had about enough of being labeled as unstylish simply because she likes labia.

And she's taking to AfterEllen to vent her sartorial rage:

According to most of America, gay boys are the only homosexuals who possess any taste when it comes to styling or interior decorating. We gay women have been branded as handy, conventional — even frugal.

While I don’t mind many of the labels associated with my gayness, I am understandably offended when lumped into the category of being unfashionable.

Harlt goes on to prove she's into trends by offering some green style tips, like turning t-shirts into rags. Because even the most fashion-forward lesbian loves to nest.

The New York Times last week published a fairly evil - and hilarious - review of stylist Rachel Zoe's new show, The Rachel Zoe Project.

In said review, journalist Ginia Bellafonte symbolically shreds Zoe's fame and relevance, writing,

Given that Ms. Zoe is already a pox on humanity — exploiting an aesthetic of dissipation, invading our collective consciousness and spraying it with dummy dust — it is amazing that “The Rachel Zoe Project,” which focuses on her career, manages to send its audience deeper into the territory of smug NPR obsessives who won’t stop ranting about triviality’s conquest of the American soul.

Meanwhile, homo-journo Matt Donnelly took great offense at Bellafonte's bitchery and wrote a rebuttal lauding Zoe's cultural impact, for which we should all be thankful:

Zoe is the real deal… Zoe is a seasoned stylist responsible for some of our most memorable red carpet moments. She's made It Girls out of dour ducklings, superstars out of burgeoning designers and soon will expand her own brand so you can own a slice of what she calls her "happy place."

No, thank you, Zoe. We're full.

Marc Jacobs has been spotted wearing another designer's skirts. He said to New York Magazine, "I discovered how nice it felt to wear. They’re comfortable, and wearing it made me happy, so I bought more. And now I just can’t stop wearing them." He also says he has no plans to release them as part of an upcoming menswear collection. Bullshit. If Jacobs does release them, promise us you won't throw down cash to buy into his mockery.

The Project Runway finalists debuted their lines this morning at Bryant Park for the last day of Fashion Week.

Because Wednesday night's episode left six contestants in the competition, all six presented their showcases, although there are typically only three true finalists.

Pictures from each collection, along with our predictions, after the jump.
