PERSON ISABELLA BLOW

The style world was hit hard in 2007 when avant-garde goddess Isabella Blow took her own life.

Now, the woman who discovered Alexander McQueen and never shied away from a capital-O outfit is getting the biopic treatment.

As for who'll play the hat-happy fashionista, it'd better be someone really special. In other words, we know you're out of work, Megan Fox, but don't even think about it.

PLACE CLEVELAND COUNTY JAIL

If you thought the electric chair was bad, try this on for size: Convicts at Oklahoma's Cleveland County Jail are forced to wear hot pink shirts and yellow striped pants, presumably to sartorially shame them into thinking about what they've done.

Okay, so the sherriff says the outfits are actually meant to make fugitives easily identifiable. In any case, they certainly give new meaning to the term fashion crime.

THING LOUIS VUITTON WORLD CUP CASE

Stars and sports fans alike will descend on South Africa next week when the World Cup kicks off.

And while Cristiano Ronaldo will be flying first class, the coveted trophy is travelling in style as well.

The cup is being transported and stored in a specially made Louis Vuitton case commissioned by FIFA, making it just a bit more special than one of Mariah Carey's dogs.
