Julianne Hough's Asymmetrical-Hem Dress Is a New Way to Do LBDs
Little black dresses come in all sorts of silhouettes and styles, and with the endless possibilities, you can never have enough. A new one to add to your collection is the French Connection Nix Nights black dress ($268) Julianne Hough wore with Gio Diev's blue and white raffi pumps to her SiriusXM appearance in NYC. What makes this LBD so special? Let's start with the asymmetrical hemline — notice the longer hem in the back, which makes it party in front, demure in back. The white piping along the sleeves and tail make the dress pop even more, and finally, its square neckline gives it a classic look that will never go out of style. Dress it down with sandals and a denim jacket during the day, then dress it up with heels and tons of jewels at night.

Get Beyoncé's Latest Parisian Look: Her Exact Red Blazer and Tiger Clutch

As exemplified by Beyoncé, a red blazer is the best way to instantly jazz up any outfit, so either snag her exact one, or if that's too pricey, this red silk Joie blazer ($388) will work, too. Shop Beyoncé's Parisian date look, including her exact jacket, pants, and bag, below!

Meet Our New Designer Crush: Giejo's Gabby Sabharwal
Just in time for bikini season, we came across Giejo, a new swimwear line created by Gabby Sabharwal. "The idea to create a swimsuit came about really as something that was initially just for me," said the supertalented 26-year-old, who also leads a double-duty life as a PR girl at BCBG Max Azria. "I was looking to purchase a new swimsuit for my upcoming vacation with my girlfriends. We were going to St. Thomas to celebrate my 25th birthday and of course I wanted to look fabulous." That said, Giejo — the name stems from a childhoood nickname — was born in Spring '11 and has already garnered a cult following from stylish girls looking for a unique twist on swimwear. When we say unique, we really mean it; Gabby uses deadstock textiles so only a certain amount of pieces can be made in a collection. In fact, Barneys loved her line so much that it asked Gabby to design an exclusive collection (available now in stores and online). Want to learn more about Gabby? Just read below for the 411, then click the slideshow to see her Summer '12 lookbook.
FabSugar: Where do you draw your inspiration from?
Gabby Sabharwal: Everyone in New York City. I could spend hours people watching. They are the real people wearing fashion. I always dreamed of moving to this city and I am grateful every day to wake up and experience what surrounds me.
FS: How would you describe the Giejo girl?
GS: The Giejo girl is me, but she is all of my girlfriends, too. She's fashion forward and wants to stand out. She is aware of the trends but is also price conscious, and she is a bit sick of hitting the sales. She wants an affordable line that is fashion forward and not mass market. She is a smart packer and smart shopper who is always on the go and trying to think of ways to simplify her wardrobe without sacrificing style.
FS: How do you balance being a designer and a BCBG PR girl?
GS: With a lot of organization and coffee! I work from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed! I usually wake up around 6 a.m. to start getting together the orders for Giejo, answer emails, run errands, pick up samples/fabric. Then, I'm in the office from 8:45 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. Then, I go home to finish everything that I didn't get to during the day and start preparing for the next day. Every day there is a new challenge!
FS: Favorite food?
GS: French fries and ice cream.
FS: First memorable fashion purchase?
GS: For making national honor society in high school, my father bought me a Louis Vuitton purse — it was the one that everyone had — the mini wallet on a chain. I was obsessed!

Charlize Theron Wears a Gown Made of Dung Beetles in Snow White and the Huntsman
We're excited to bring you the best fashion finds, shopping stories, and style news from one of our favorite sites, Fashionista. Today, they're giving us the inside scoop on Charlize Theron's Snow White costumes.
Making clothes fashioned from animal skin is nothing new. But making clothes out of insect skin (the technical term would be exoskeletons)? That's not as common. So we were intrigued to learn that this couture turquoise chiffon gown created for Charlize Theron's evil Queen Ravena in Snow White and the Huntsman features ornate dung beetle detailing. You read that right: Dung beetles.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, costume designer Colleen Atwood was just trolling around Thailand searching for inspiration and "unique materials" when she came across mounds of the discarded iridescent shells at a flea market. Atwood, who won her last Oscar for her Alice in Wonderland costumes, told the Washington Post that it took 50 workers to sew literally thousands of beetle wings to the gown, which, in the end, only gets a few seconds of dimly-lit screen time.
