Call the fashion police!

What the..... can someone clear something up for me here because I am struggggling to see who could ever 1 like this dress, 2 think it is ok to be seen out in public in it .... let alone be seen out in it on the red carpet?! Makes me wonder do people just wear something because it's been labeled fashionable or have I lost the plot and is this actually a really nice dress?

Here's the offending article.. Flash or clash?
