Miley Cyrus, 43, as she appeared in her Angie Dickinson Training Outfit (new from Mattel) this weekend at the Billboard awards.
Or maybe she went to Celine Dion’s garage sale and picked up this jacket from the 1999 Oscars, but not the pants.
And here’s Angie Dickinson and her hair.

in awards, can you believe it?, chexy's fashion report, whatever
Betty invited some neglected pals over for a bit of tea and some finger sandwiches yesterday… just an intimate group of THE SOVEREIGN MONARCHS OF THE WORLD!*
Let’s get a better look at a few of them, shall we? And we’ll see what old queens are wearing these days. Some of you need to know.
The queen on the left is Anne Marie of Greece, having a little tete a turban with the luxuriantly flawless Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser Al-Missned (pronounced “Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser Al-Missned”). Bint asked Marie if she got her necklace at Target.
Princess Lalla Meryem of Morocco rolled out of bed at the Buckingham Holiday Inn and just came in her bathrobe. Princesses can get away with that shit, as this queen well knows.
The wax figures of Prince Harry, Duchess Catherine and Duke Willie were trucked in from Madame Tussauds for the event. Don’t they look real?!
A confused Princess Alexandra (whose royal lineage is a mile long) tells Emperor Akihito of Japan and Empress Michiko about her fortune cookie from last night’s takeout.
Arabs.
*(front row L – R) Emperor Akihito of Japan, Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, King Constantine of Greece, King Michael of Romania, HM , Simeon Borisov of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Sultan of Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah, King Carl Gustaf XVI of Sweden, HM the King of Swaziland, and Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein, (middle row L – R) HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg, King Letsie III of Lesotho, King Albert of Belgium, King Harald V of Norway, Emir of the State of Qatar Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, King Abdallah II of Jordan, King of Bahrain Hamad ibn Isa Al Khalifa, The Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia, (top row, L – R) Nasser Mohamed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah of Kuwait, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, HRH the Crown Prince Alexander II of Yugoslavia, King George Tupou V of Tong, Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn of Tahiland, Princess Lalla Meryem of Morocco and HRH Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia.

These fabulously chexy dresses were among the runway selections for Preen’s 2012 spring line.
First Lady Michelle Obama wore one of Preen’s dresses last week.
Actress Ginnifer Goodwin wore Preen to the Kentucky Derby.
It’s a look.

Gabourey Sidibe, seen here leaving a Wendy Williams show taping last week, turned 29 on Sunday.
Gabby looks fantastic in these skinny jeans and peasant blouse, with that demure parasol fending off a NYC cloudburst, while attempting to slip her hand into a pocket.
A delightfully casual look, rounded out by the adorable leopard print kicks, perfect for pounding the pavement.

in birthdays, chexy's fashion report, fabulosity
The queens of the world are out and about this week, so let’s take a look at their varied style…
On the left is Queen Sofia of Spain, attending a book exhibition at the Royal Palace in a gas station blue suit, which accentuates her queenly hippage. The unfortunate brocade work isn’t helping. This looks like a Macy’s sofa that can walk.
Center is jolly Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands as she appeared at a Dutch design exhibition at Oranienbaum Castle. Horizontal stripes aren’t slimming, and neither is horizontal stripe. Bea’s big bonnet helps crown this cyanotic catastrophe, which makes her majesty look like she got in the way of some myopic road workers on line-painting duty. The dolman sleeves add to the sheer heft of this frumpy cupcake ensemble. Points for the perky pink purse.
Last is the well-stretched Queen Silvia of Sweden, seen here at a scouting event near Madrid. Sil is casual in a quilted jacket and sensible shoes, along with a pair of trousers appropriated from the portly manager of a local Marie Callender’s.
This has been Chexy’s Fashion Report, Queens Everywhere edition.

Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, looked stunning in this unsophisticated jacket from the new T.J. MAXX in Sherman Oaks, as seen with Enos Mafokate (pronounced “Mafokate”) at the Soweto Equestrian foundation yesterday in Soweto.
Wearing her hair in the modified burlap and coffee Elvis coif that she’s been trying for the last 35 years, the Princess spread good cheer on the start of her 3-day visit to mark her mother’s jubilee.
Princess Anne is 10th in line to the British throne, and looks like she could be first in line at Sizzler.

in bad hair, chexy's fashion report, royals
Rachel Zoe spinoff Brad Goreski showed up to the Bravo upfronts wearing what appears to be a homemade suit, or a nurse’s outfit from the Maternity Ward at Cedars-Sinai. Nothing quite says style like too short and too wide pants, too short sleeves, with unfortunate cuffs and a pair of Rachel’s shoe discards.
What look is he going for? Good Humor douche? Diaper Deliveryman in WeHo? He looks like he outgrew this on the way to the event.
Just no.

Oh dear, it seems Princess Beatrice is TRYING not to wear such an outrageous hat as the one she wore to the royal wedding, choosing instead this comical yet maudlin tablet chapeau with what appear to be crumpled black plastic bags fashioned into dahlias.
She’s either holding a bouquet or another hat to wear.
Anyway, this is how Bea looked at the Maundy Thursday Service (I’m feeling a little maundy today myself) in York. Gran was there too.
This is Betty getting a look at Bea’s hat. BD is wearing the blue candy button dress (again) with what appears to be the Jardine Star brooch, and a modified Mad Hatter bonnet that looks like a designer box of Kleenex.
The Archbishop of York was there, wearing a Christacular mitre, and ready with a bouquet for Betty. A fun day for all!

In what promises not to be her last court appearance, Lindsay Lohan wore this 1970s polyester suit, which was available in a men’s version in the Montgomery Ward catalog in 1975 for only $27.88. Real Dacron!
One of them has a little man between the legs.

in advertising, bad hair, can you believe it?, chexy's fashion report, lohansFeeling green? If you’re looking for a dress for your prom, or a wedding, or just something to stir up the masses at the Piggly Wiggly, here it is.
Nothing quite enhances beauty like head-to-toe checkerboard. Wear it uptown or downtown. And here’s Petula Clark now.
