YukYukYou've got a big, swanky event to go to...

So why on earth would you wear this?

That's what someone should have said to Joely Richardson.

Alas, she made it out of the house in a dress fit only for a turkey come Christmas Day (yes, we are v excited it's nearly December).

So it's left to us to point out Joely's fashion foul-up.

It's a tough job, but you've got to be cruel to be kind apparently.
