Blooming rediculous: What was Kate Beckinsale thinking when she walked outside in these baggy knickers?
First there was underwear as outerwear with stars exposing lacy camisoles and basques but now Kate Beckinsale is trying to bring back old fashioned bloomers.
The 37-year-old was snapped wearing the 1850s-inspired baggy knickers while out shopping in Santa Monica with her husband Len Wiseman.
Even in the 1850s the underwear failed to become commonly accepted but had a brief stint in style in the 1920s, when they were worn short and resembled baggy knee-length gym shorts.
But despite retro fashion trends constantly being revived, we’re not convinced this should be one of them and Kate’s latest attempt was a major faux pas.
The Van Helsing actress obviously isn’t taking enough advice from her fellow Stateside British pal Victoria Beckham, as Posh would not have let her leave the house like this.
Beckinsale finished off the fashion disaster with black leather cowboy boots and an old fashioned frilly pinafore.
The couple had been shopping at Fred Segal in Los Angeles, so hopefully her husband helped her pick a better outfit to change into.

Kate’s fashion disaster yesterday was a far cry from her usual glamorous Hollywood style though.
The star is usually at the height of fashion and is a regular at runway shows.
Beckinsale has previously said though that although she prefers to be on the Best Dressed lists it’s not her main goal in life.
