Gwyneth Paltrow

This Week's Fab Favorite: Gwyneth Paltrow

What a fine time it has been for Gwyneth.

What a fine time it has been for Gwyneth. Towards the end of the week, I found myself anxious to see what unique confection she would be wearing to the next Iron Man promotion. It was a tough decision for all of us, but I think this Preen dress paired with McQueen heels she wore to the Iron Man premiere and photocall in Rome was the winner of the week — across the board. Who knew Gwyneth was such a sultry vixen with her sculptural heels and thigh-bearing minis? Now we know where she's been hiding out — with her personal trainer. Gwyn is proof that a salubrious lifestyle pays off and to show it off, in a reinvented LBD, worked wonders for her. Brava.

Vera Wang Spring 2009 Bridal Collection

Vera Wang's 2009 Spring bridal collection called for an avant-garde approach to wedding gowns. Vera Wang stated, "We want to modernize the wedding vocabulary. It's something we struggle with every season."

Her experimentation of different silhouettes and textures rendered a fresh take on wedding dresses showcasing strategically placed bows, floral trains, and asymmetrical necklines — I think it's safe to say that no one missed the baubles and beads.

The father-daughter directing duo recently posed for Annie Leibovitz in Argentina as part of the brand's mission to underscore its historical roots in luggage and travel. I can't wait to see what the finished product looks like; I haven't seen Fabcon Sofia model in a while!

Fab Ad: Valentino Haute Couture Spring 2008

I'm always game for something different, and these shots definitely fit that description.

I'm always game for something different, and these shots definitely fit that description.

The Mondrian-inspired background juxtaposed with Valentino's ruffly Spring couture collection, featuring model Alison Nix, is an unexpected surprise, but I think it works. I love the idea of using geometric shapes and primary colors to back such a soft collection.

Are you a fan?

Katie Holmes and Lucy Liu have both been spotted wearing the Alexander McQueen Drape-front Dress ($1900). It's undoubtedly a gorgeous, modern dress — but one with a whopping price tag. What is a style slave to do in a situation like this? Don't fret — Fab's got you covered.

Celebrity Style: Leighton Meester

Leighton Meester debuted a sexy body-conscious look at the Tribeca Film Festival, complete with bustier and asymmetrical belt.

Leighton Meester debuted a sexy body-conscious look at the Tribeca Film Festival, complete with bustier and asymmetrical belt. This Pencey dress fits her like a dream and the white accenting takes the usually Fall-friendly olive green and updates it for a fresh look. It’s a departure from the very girly looks we’re used to seeing her in for Gossip Girl, but Leighton/Blair is pretty much fashion eye candy either way.

I don't know about you, but if I saw someone wearing this La Perla Dragon Bra (call for pricing info), I'd run . . . fast! OK, in all seriousness, it's one helluva ferocious bra, or shall I say, weapon. I don't know how practical it is, but I'd love to sport it for a kinky romantic night.
