This Week's Fab Favorite: Joy Bryant

Wasn't I just fawning over Resort time maxis?

Wasn't I just fawning over Resort time maxis? It's a combination that won't quit — and continues to impress on the red carpet. Joy brought some much-needed cheer to the Art of Elysium red carpet last weekend. Doesn't look like she's loving it? Joy is becoming quite the Missoni missionary — she wore two Missoni dresses her wedding night — but can you blame her? I've had a longtime love affair with not only Missoni's signature prints, but they're modern silhouettes and jet-set vibe.Joy looks like she just threw on this draped yellow maxi, but she didn't forget some key finishes. Her ivory Bally clutch added structure and her equally yellow David Yurman earrings and bracelet were totally luxe. Per usual, Joy appears fresh faced and natural, what a stunner.

We're all for sustainability at Fab, so when we heard Banana's going green with its new Heritage collection, we had to let you in on the details.

We're all for sustainability at Fab, so when we heard Banana's going green with its new Heritage collection, we had to let you in on the details. "Sustainability is the new luxury," said executive vice president of design Simon Kneen, who describes the collection, seen left, as "signature sportswear for the really modern attitude."

The Heritage collection, ranging from $39 to $150, is made out of organic cotton, soy silk, and bamboo. The gorgeous, eco-friendly line debuts this Summer. On another note, the company has also started using more recycled materials and changing treatment processes so its laundry facilities can comply with the Business for Social Responsibility's clean water guidelines. Awesome — go Banana!

Who Wore It Better? Chloé Scallop Shorts

The House of Chloé designed scallop shorts as part of its Spring '09 collection.

The House of Chloé designed scallop shorts as part of its Spring '09 collection. They're so unique, Kate Bosworth and Emma Roberts have both already experimented with them. Kate wore hers in October in a nude color, paired with a white tank and matching blazer. Emma, on the other hand, kept her look monochrome ivory, with the exception of her navy pumps. She added a tuxedo flair via an ivory Helmut Lang blazer piped with satin. Both ladies opted to pull in menswear qualities, but who wore their Chloé scallop shorts better?

Sneak Peek! Make Me a Supermodel Season Two Contestants

If you didn't vote for season two's Make Me a Supermodel contestants, then you can't complain about the chosen 16.

If you didn't vote for season two's Make Me a Supermodel contestants, then you can't complain about the chosen 16. Karen and Ken were the lucky ones who made the cut. From the looks of it, no one from this bunch is supermodel material as of yet. But I've seen the magic this show can work — they did it last season — so I'm not worried. Below, meet Chris, Salome, and, of course, hottie host, Tyson Beckford. This round's judges include Catherine Malandrino and old Calvin Klein model Jenny Shimizu. I'm excited for the season premiere on March 4 on Bravo. Are you?
