FabSugar — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:32:32 PST

Emma Stone continues to delight with her award-show fashion. For the SAG Awards, she went for a sweet fit-and-flare McQueen with a few bold accoutrements. Her beauty routine may be a throwback to Old Hollywood glam with red lips and a pretty updo, but her intricate gold-handled Alexander McQueen clutch is a much more fashion-forward addition. To finish, check out those amazing ankle-strap heels - quite possibly the most perfect finishing touch. What do you think?

Celeb Style: Elle Macpherson's Hot Metallic Pants

Hannah Weil — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 08:18:40 PDT

We're beginning to think Elle Macpherson has a superhuman ability to look amazing. The supermodel is not only gorgeous, but a pro at pulling off dramatic pieces with an ease that makes them entirely accessible. Case in point: her twist on this metallic pair of pants is all at once statement making and effortless. She mixes high-impact hues and textures, from her studded heels to her silver bottoms and gold bangles (yes, she even flawlessly mixes metallics) with a slouchy knit top and dangly eclectic earrings for a glam-rocker-cum-boho-chic effect. As for the finishing touches, a pair of Victoria Beckham shades and an Alexander McQueen clutch in hand further that fashion-without-a-care vibe. If you're after the same style, shop our editors' picks to get Elle's street-styled look.

15 Pieces to Channel Fall's Anglo Trend Like a Prep-School Pro

Hannah Weil — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 03:30:20 PDT

Given the obsession with the royals, it seems only fitting that our latest fashion fixation also comes from across the pond, though this time around the style we're seeking is more prep-school punk than Princess Catherine. We never hit the books at Eton, but we're answering Fall's call to Anglo charm with boarding-school basics, like rugby stripes and tasseled loafers. To make your part as prep-school rebel a little more convincing, we've thrown in a few edgier pieces - think McQueen's tartan plaid mini, studded leather cuffs, and distressed tweed jackets to counter the more traditional garb. Just click through to shop all the key pieces.

Alexander McQueen Spring 2012 Runway

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 15:41:09 PDT

Alexander McQueen is known for their avant-garde gowns and innovative accessories, and Spring 2012 was no exception. Sarah Burton used blush, gold, and coral hues to create stunning gowns adorned with feathers and ruffles. Face masks graced the models as they stunned in otherwordly offerings- watch to see the entire show here!

Alexander McQueen Spring 2012

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 15:40:54 PDT

Otherworldly is the best way to describe Sarah Burton's Spring 2012 collection for Alexander McQueen. She referenced the Greek goddess Gaia, who in mythology gave birth to the gods of sea. The oceanic theme arose via undulating ruffles and pearl and coral-crusted embellishments that looked like barnacles. But first, the impeccable tailoring; first with a series of skirt suits, belted high and elegantly on the waist, done in powerful metallic gold and blush tones. Some of the jackets were cut to reveal delicate lace bralettes underneath. A string of babydoll dresses were floaty and full, designed to mimic the movements of a jellyfish, thanks to a plethora of ruffles. For the finale, a string of awe-inspiring gowns, one that spoke to the darkness of McQueen with black, spidery-cut leather. Models wore facemasks cut of lace, but some had beading made to look as if coral were spreading over their faces. It was transformative, and on a larger scale, a transformative moment for Sarah Burton, who has shown that she can lead the Alexander McQueen house forward in a lighter, but still breathtakingly complex direction.

Trends: aquatic theme, pearls, feathers, embellishment, wide belts, asymmetric hems.
Colors: gold, blush, coral, white, cream, black.
Key Piece: babydoll dresses with lace and ruffles were surprisingly light, while the gowns were just incredible. For "everyday" we love the tailored jackets that opened the show.
Accessories: platform gladiator sandals that climbed up models's legs.
Who Would Wear It: The gowns are for the most fashion-forward red carpet goers. But we can see some of the skirt suits working on Sarah Jessica Parker.
