Dita Von Teese

This Week's Fab Favorite: Dita von Teese

You can imagine, since we comb through celebrity and fashion pictures every day, we come across lots of winning (and losing) looks.

You can imagine, since we comb through celebrity and fashion pictures every day, we come across lots of winning (and losing) looks. Once in a while, though, a celebrity nails it and makes us gasp. To honor such an achievement, we're going to bring you a Fab favorite every Friday. A nice way to end the week right?

And so, this week's stand out was the glamorous Dita von Teese. She look absolutely stunning in a gold lurex gown at the New York Academy of Art 25th anniversary celebration in New York City. The sheer veil on the bodice is a subtle teese tease and her bold jewel-encrusted necklace is seriously striking. Topped off with crimson lips and nails, yeah, she nailed it.

Reem Acra Spring 2009 Bridal Collection

Reem Acra's latest bridal collection offered a colorful and whimsical alternative to the traditional white wedding.

Reem Acra's latest bridal collection offered a colorful and whimsical alternative to the traditional white wedding. Arcra divulged, "It's about the future. What's going to happen to my dresses? The young girls are going to go into their mother's closet and play with them. It's about having fun!"

And that she did with her models placed in storybook settings with musings of playing dress-up and having tea parties. Vibrant gingham and floral patterns were layered on top of the white dresses evoking a colorful and fun point of view. Acra's bold and refreshing take on the classic wedding dress was simply rejuvenating and quite fabulous.

Fabworthy: Sigerson Morrison Weave T-Strap Sandal

Nicolas Ghesquière's Spring '08 collection for Balenciaga wasn't all too wearable but it was all together stunning.

Nicolas Ghesquière's Spring '08 collection for Balenciaga wasn't all too wearable but it was all together stunning. One of the trends that blossomed from that show were the multicolored weave footwear. Nicole Richie already got her feet on the boots, so let's also get in on the hot trend with these Spring/Summer-ready Sigerson Morrison T-Strap Woven Sandals ($425). They have the same black-and-white woven motif but they're much more comfortable. Oh, and considerably less pricey . . . $978 less to be exact!

Celebrity Style: Kelly Ripa

Kelly Ripa managed to look as adorable as she did polished for an appearance on David Letterman yesterday.

Kelly Ripa managed to look as adorable as she did polished for an appearance on David Letterman yesterday. Her Marc by Marc Jacobs dress is classic in silhouette but has quirky detailing taking this look to the next level. The asymmetrical pleated sheer fan and pockets provide enough interest to go low key on the accessories, so Kelly kept it clean with a demure 'do, simple stud earrings, and black pumps. I'm of the party that finds the navy and black combination trés chic so this is perfection to me.

Who Wore It Better? Blue and Green Balenciaga Gladiator Sandals

You know the zeitgeist is in flux when Heidi Montag wears a Balenciaga item even before Sarah Jessica Parker!

You know the zeitgeist is in flux when Heidi Montag wears a Balenciaga item even before Sarah Jessica Parker! The reality starlet hit up NYC with Spencer on Wednesday, and took us all by surprise when she actually wore a cool outfit, complete with blue and green Balenciaga gladiator sandals. Then, the ever-so-lovely SJP filmed a commercial on Thursday in a Carrie-inspired outfit and the same exact Balenciaga shoes. I can't believe I'm doing this, but in this case, I prefer Heidi's outfit because it's more my style. Personalities aside, who do you think wore it better?
