Florence Welch Borrows From The Joker's Closet In London (PHOTOS)

Leave it to our new favorite fashion icon, Florence Welch, to make a "Batman"-inspired outfit look good.

Florence was spotted arriving at the BBC Maida Vale Studios yesterday dressed in a blue-purple fedora and coat over an orange-patterned dress, her red hair gleaming against both her outfit and the backdrop of fall foliage. To top off the autumnal ensemble, she accentuated her look with a red bag and some pointy boots.

Welch, who just released her sophomore album, "Ceremonials," as her act Florence + the Machine, has become something of a couture maven these days. She most recently clashed patterns (artfully) on "Good Morning America," and she's been seen been wearing everything from Gucci to Balmain lately.

While Florence looked fab, we couldn't help but be reminded of Jack Nicholson's sartorial choices as The Joker in 1989's "Batman." The purple jacket? The hat? The Victorian-style scarf and flash of orange?

But hey, if anyone can pull off a look cribbed from Jack Nicholson, it's this lady.

Scroll down to see more photos of Flo's outfit.

Anyone who comes out with absolutely incredible music like Dog Days Are Over has earned the right to wear whatever the hell she wants.
And by the way Florence, you rock that Annie Hall look.

The Joker kinda reminds me of hotel mean queen "We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes...", Leona Helmsley (rip)

Totally useless comparison . . . but has anyone else noticed that Jack Nicholson's Joker and Bethany Frankel have the same creepy smile and facial contours? Cosmetic surgery has ruined more "celebrity" faces than aging has ever done.

A women puts on a dark brimmed hat, and she's suddenly channeling the joker. Right. Very slow day? Call in sick. Don't just do something, stand there. Sometimes doing nothing is far more productive.

SORRY, I don't "get it". She doesn't look like the joker, in any ay besides wearing a hat. If she wore a top hat--would that make her look like Penguin from Batman? I think someone needs a pair of glasses, or some new ideology.

The Joker wore it better. But he does have panache.
