The Luxist Asks this question today:

There are exceptions, of course, but the fashion world does not react too kindly to the Playboy bunny look. (I know. I know. I, too, remember Louis Vuitton a few seasons ago) Sure enough, the irony was not lost on stylists who skewered the breast brigade -- and in particular Carey -- for standing in front of the Golden Globe Awards with their gazongas.

The fashion world likes a little more subtlety. More mystery. Less on-the-nose sexy. For spring, designers prefer another method of seduction: sheer. Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren and Vera Wang showed layer upon layer of gauze and organza in dresses, trench coats, gowns and blouses.

In spite of their dominance in the fashion world -- both what brands they wear and, increasingly what labels they design -- celebrities make fashion faux pas. God love them. Where would worst dressed lists be without them? Sometimes it appears that celebrities can't shake off the stage or the theater and want to give audiences what they want -- an eyeful. But is it fashion?

We'll turn this question over to you: Is cleavage stylish?
