Oscars Fashion Round Up!

FabSugar — Sun, 04 Mar 2007 00:22:33 -0800

We did so much fabulous Oscars fashion coverage that we don't want you to miss any of it so here is a round up of the looks, trends and polls that we covered all last week!

Celebrity Style: Nicole Kidman

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 16:11:33 -0800

Nicole Kidman was one of six red carpet favorites Sunday night at the Oscars. Her cherry red one shoulder Balenciaga gown elongated this already statuesque beauty, making her one of our best dressed stars. Although it would be nice to live like a celebrity and wear head to toe designer duds, we know that's just wishful thinking. I love this younger, more flirty dress we found as a good alternative for Nic's floor length show stopper. Hope you enjoy!

Billie's Rhinestone Stretch Glam Cuff Bracelet, on sale for $75 (originally $85).

Louise Wool/Leather Clutch, $180.

A Red Carpet Tribute: Cate the Chameleon

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 14:32:33 -0800

If there was a best dressed on the red carpet through the ages I would say it is Cate Blanchett. She is versatile - not afraid of color or the avant-garde; she experiments with beauty - from up dos to bouncy curls; and lastly, she is confident - she exudes successful woman and Hollywood grace. Her most recent brilliant Oscars red carpet choice made both my A List and bellasugar's A List and her talent continues to take on new forms. Here is my red carpet tribute to Cate the Chameleon. Her first red carpet stand out to me was her daring black Jean Paul Gaultier with jeweled back - we should have know then and there she was a red carpet force to be reckoned with.

How Much Does A Winning Oscar's Look Cost?

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 08:31:33 -0800

Ever wonder how much moolah goes into those perfectly perfect Oscars red carpet looks? I do. Check out this informative article that was in USA Today that tapped into my curiosity. Linda Wells, the editor in chief of Allure magazine, provided the inside scoop into the exorbitant costs of looking red carpet fantastic.

My favorite bit was about makeup artist Scott Barnes: "whose client list includes Celine Dion, Kimora Lee Simmons, Christina Aguilera and Lopez, charges in excess of $15,000, including travel, for the big day." $15,000 to get your make up done? Are you paying attention aspiring make up artists?

You all know my favorite Sunday night was Ms. Emily Blunt; her Calvin Klein gown spoke for itself and then all she needed was pretty, minimal jewelry and beauty to top off her look. How much do you want to bet her red carpet look was WAY less expensive than Jennifer Lopez's over the top choice. I'm just saying, it pays to look this good but some people maybe choose to pay a little too much.

Little party dresses were all over these pretty young things at the Vanity Fair Oscar After Party. A fun flirty frock would have been my first choice for such an event so I thought this was a fun trend to report. You all thought Buffy was best dressed at the after parties, but here are a few more fab dresses to feast your eyes on. Oh, and I think Gabrielle Union's red strapless number is particularly foxy!

A Little Insight Into Oscars Swag

BellaSugar — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 15:09:33 -0800

So this is what it's like to be rich and famous: lots of free stuff to make you look even more beautiful! For the sixth year in a row, Victoria's Secret generously gave away a $7,500 gift to all of the Best Actress Oscar nominees.

The gift included an Angels Secret Embrace Strapless Bra, $45, and Very Sexy Diamond Collection Lip Gloss adorned with diamonds and pink sapphires. It was presented to them in a lavish, black leather train case, embossed with their name and upholstered in pink satin.

Since this lip gloss line is not scheduled to launch to the public until April, this elite group of ladies was the first to wear this new gloss infused with genuine crushed diamonds on the red carpet. The gloss is ornamented with a sparkling, pink sapphire “VS” charm, weighing 0.3 carats that can detach from the lip gloss and fasten to the necklace.

The Bra is stitch, tag and seam-free! It creates a smooth and sexy silhouette under anything that you wear. This particular bra is adorned with a dazzling, white gold chain decorated with 14 diamonds and weighs about four carats.

A pavé diamond circular pendant sits at the center of the chain, creating a shimmery focal point for eye catching cleavage. The chain can also detach from the bra and be worn as a necklace, to showcase sexy, plunging necklines.
