Are You Shocked Katie Is Still in the Running For Stylista?

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 15:00:22 -0800

If there is such a thing as luck, then Katie on Stylista has it. Even though all the stronger contestants have been wanting her out since day one, she made it to the top five last night. The first challenge asked them to purchase a present that Anne can give to nightlife-queen-turned-actress Amy Sacco. Team Megan and Ashlie prevailed. Then they had to memorize the names of 90 industry insiders and recite them to Anne at a party. Megan, Ashlie, and Dyshaun took the cake, while Danielle was ousted. Are you shocked that Katie is still in the competition?

Are You on Team Katie or Team Cologne?

I bet when they signed up to be on Stylista, the contestants did not expect to plan a 10-year-old's birthday party. And not just any 10-year-old: Anne Slowey's diva niece, Erin. Do kids like that really exist? Like any other challenge, some hopefuls went above and beyond, while others fell behind. Johanna's party idea - fashion show and an illusionist - claimed Erin's interest, so she won the challenge. But in the end, Anne, Joe Zee, and guest judge Cynthia Rowley had to let one person go. While many thought (and hoped) it would be Katie, it actually ended up being Cologne. What did you think about the decision? Are you on Team Katie or Team Cologne?

Stylista-Inspired Style Glossary Quiz

You may have been snickering when the contestants on episode two of Stylista couldn't define some fashion terms, but do you know the meanings? We'll find out. But before we move on to the style glossary quiz, let's quickly discuss the episode. I thought The Hills was dramatic, but this show takes the cake. Fashion causing panic attacks? I suppose when Anne Slowey is your boss and Megan is your teammate, anything can happen. I assure you this mini quiz will not induce anxiety, only learning.

Reminder! Stylista Premieres Tonight

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 16:00:22 -0700

While Buzz can give you the complete lowdown, I'm here to remind you to simply watch. Stylista premieres tonight on the CW at 9 p.m. We got a too-short taste of fashion television via The Rachel Zoe Project, and Project Runway has concluded, so there's room for a new guilty pleasure, yes? I've watched the first couple episodes, and though it's a bit melodramatic, it is entertaining.

P.S. What I secretly love about the show is seeing the fabulous clothes Anne Slowey and the other editors at Elle wear.

FABTV: A First Look at Stylista

FabSugar — Wed, 14 May 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Fashion TV fans get ready for another addictive show: The CW's Stylista. Brought to you by Tyra Banks, and ELLE magazine's Joe Zee and Anne Slowey, this reality show will reveal a day in the life with the real Devil Wears Prada. Here's a first glimpse as the office peons prepare breakfast for the statuesque blonde ELLE fashion news editor. It's a bit tongue in cheek as we see the teetering editor strut through the office wearing Yves Saint Laurent's oversized star necklace. The best bit? After she makes her announcement to the fashion wannabees and the trays start a shakin'. Cute, but devilish indeed.
