fashionably challenged 

someone who is not properly into the trend of clothing

Fashionably Drunk 

To show up to a place, party event, or meeting with friends a few minutes late, and somewhat intoxicated. The perfect phrase to let people know that you are fashionable enough to show up a few minutes late, and will be happily drunk when you arrive.
Matt: Hey we are going to the Up, when are you coming down?

Will: Kurt and I are at Kane's house right now, and will be showing up fashionably drunk.

fashionably late 

Depending on the type/style of the event fashionably late can also range from 5 minutes (to a dinner date or a small gathering) to 45 minutes-1 hour (21st parties please note that there are also varying categories of 21st parties and discretionary judgement must be exercised). This time frame, or 'cushion', allows enough other people to have already arrived so that it is not only the birthday person and their parents in attendance and also conveys the possibility that you have come from a previous engagement (please refer to above definition).
1 hour late to a dinner party is socially unnacceptable and can protray an undesired tone of self importance however an hour late to a keg party is assumed and will be recognised as being fashionably late (again discretion must be employed to ensure that the beer will not be finished prior to your arrival).
