MTV Movie Awards Trend: Bold Animal Print

Hannah Weil — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 19:24:06 PDT

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Lily Collins, and Reese Witherspoon hit the MTV Movie Awards in their respective animal-print dresses, and we smell a very hot little trend. Among the women of tonight's red carpet, wild prints were the pattern of choice - be it leopard or tiger, monochrome or color injected. We've loved the statement print for seasons, but on a minidress, as any of these styled celebs proves, it's particularly fresh for Summer. Just shop our editor's picks below to get the look - then add your heels of choice for the full effect.

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 07:50:22 PDT

If you're looking to score four trends with one dress this Ashish One-Shoulder Dress ($895) is the way to go. One-shoulder. Animal print. Sequins. Mini. Check. But, I'm tripping over the neon green hue. A little iguana-esque, no? I'd be all over it in navy. What do you think?

Roundup: Your Floor on Safari

CasaSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 05:30:56 PDT

Want to walk on the wild side? If you can't book a ticket to the Serengeti, why not sink your toes into some plush, safari animal-print rugs? Start with the Williams-Sonoma Zebra Crewel Rug (on sale for $199.99-499.99).

While we've seen the zebra pattern many times before, the rust color updates the pattern in a fresh way. Made from pure wool with a cotton backing, the pattern is outlined in black stitching.

Check out some other safari-worthy rugs below.

Guess Who Has a Leopard Room?

CasaSugar — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 11:00:52 PDT

A Czech socialite, most known for being the ex-wife of a real estate mogul very prominent in the media, has a thing for animal prints. She recently told People during a tour of her opulent, seven-story Upper East Side townhouse, "In each of my homes I have a leopard room. I don't know why, but I do. It's like my lounge next to the dressing rooms." Translation: Her Manhattan sitting room is literally decked floor to ceiling in the wild print - with a cheetah painting from Africa to match.

Are You a Friend of Animal Prints?

CasaSugar — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 07:00:00 PST

When it comes to patterns, I don't have much of an animal instinct, but I enjoy a dose here or there - so long as no wild things are harmed in the making. I'd set this Cheetah Print Bench ($650) at the foot of my bed, but I wouldn't upholster an entire sofa in the fabric. How about you?

Cute, but sssssassy.
