Emporio Armani's transparent man-trap (top left) could be this spring's Media Whore Moment. Think Liz Hurley in the safety-pin dress. She who dares to wear may see her career skyrocket overnight...

Our faaaaaaavorite collection in Milan was DSquared. This white trapeze mini dress (top right) outfitted with chain and crystal embellishments gets us very excited about next spring. There are few among us who can dare to wear this amazing look, but those who can ...

Frida Giannini at Gucci, the Tea Room is impressed. You managed to take your homage to the 1950's and make it look hot. We would love to see this look (center photo) at the Teen Choice Awards; a little retro sex would go a long way!

Versace's flowing white gown proves that despite the fact the leader of the free (fashion) world dresses like a drag queen, she is more than capable of dressing a Media Whore. This dress is hot, but comes with a warning: it requires the body to match.

Fright Night

The leader of the free (fashion) world dresses like this. It's hard to believe but it's true. Here's Donatella Versace showing up to the New York Times Style party for Milan Fashion Week. It is wayyy to easy for the Tea Room to be judgemental here. So instead, we will try to be positive, look on the bright side, etc.

1. It's amazing how her spray tan glows in the dark of the eve, isn't it? It shows off her over-peroxided hair brilliantly, and reinforces the notion that even if you look like you're over 60, you should avoid the real sun in hopes of one day looking 30.
2. Black is the new black, so why not use the staple of all black clothing items - black spandex? Pair it with a waist-cinching leather tank and voila - Milan never thought black could be so daring. Good choice Donatella.
3. Why smile when you've had so much tragedy in life? From the death of her beloved brother, to the anorexic dramas of her daughter, life has been no picnic for La D. Look on face demonstrates that perfectly.
4. Speaking of smiles, Donatella's lips have been plumped to such lusciousness that rumor has it Lisa Rinna is jealous. Wow Donatella, Lisa Rinna is jealous! We thought there was no way the self-loving "Dancing With the Stars" contestant could ever look away from the mirror long enough to pine for even bigger kissers. Way to go!
