Oscars Red Carpet: Where's the Bling?

FabSugar — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 07:02:22 -0800

The Oscars is the biggest event of the year in Hollywood. The time where everyone pulls out all the stops: the gowns, the hair, the makeup, the jewelry... but wait, this year, where was all the jewelry? One trend I noticed was bare necks on the red carpet and it almost made these women look like they were missing something. I love seeing what jewels people wear just as much as I love to see which designer dress they are wearing; so I have to ask, where was all the bling?

Who Wore It Better? Luscious Leather LBD

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:00:22 -0800

Can't seem to find the gusto to don a leather dress? Look to Kate Moss and Carine Roitfeld for inspiration. No doubt, the two are working it in their identical long-sleeve leather dresses. Kate Moss added some rockability to the high-neck cut by accessorizing with sexy bare legs, a studded belt, and pointy-toe pumps. In comparison, the French Vogue editor covered her stems with sexy, sheer black tights and tough, suede ankle boots. Notice how Moss tossed her hair up, while Carine kept hers down. Tell me, which leather lovin' lady do you prefer?

MTV Movie Awards Trend: Bare Necks

FabSugar — Sun, 03 Jun 2007 23:11:22 -0700

I don't know if you noticed, but the majority of stars at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards chose not to wear anything around their necks. Amanda Bynes was one of the very few who decorated her décolletage. Everyone else kept their bling to a minimum, allowing their dresses to take center stage. Out of all of the no-necklace looks, I like Jessica Alba's the most, because her hoop earrings got the job done. I think Lauren Conrad's look could have used a simple necklace, as could Mandy Moore's. I am so relieved that Posh opted out of neck jewels because her loud zebra-print dress would not have been able to handle it.

New York Fashion Week Trend Alert: Bloodsuckers

FabSugar — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 07:00:22 -0800

I'm forever intrigued by bloodsuckers, but the sexiest monster has once again been popularized with the successes of Twilight and True Blood. I'm actually surprised I didn't see more gothic romance on the Fall runways; then again, we still have London, Milan, and Paris to go. A handful of New York designers delivered sultry, moody looks complete with sharp black outwear, ruffled blouses, lace aplenty, blood-colored tights and tulle, and neck-baring sexiness. Jill Stuart showed a youthful, slightly '80s version that would have garnered any Lost Boy's attention.

Who Wore It Better? Alberta Ferretti Blue One-Shoulder Pleated Gown

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 13:00:22 -0800

Two blond beauties, two gorgeous Albert Ferretti gowns. Mischa first wore Alberta Ferretti's blue one-shoulder pleated gown from the Fall collection at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival in May. Normally she piles on jewels but she kept it clean with only a diamond necklace and a black clutch. Ivanka wore Ferretti's gown to a benefit at the New York Public Library. She left her neck bare but dressed up her earlobes with diamond earrings and her wrist with a diamond bracelet. A jeweled clutch added more dazzle. Both ladies rocked the red carpet but which look blows you away?

You think Debra Messing's stylist Rachel Zoe worked her magic to find her client this black ruffle Monique Lhuillier number? I think so. The actress decided to keep her neck bare but to dazzle up her earlobes with large antique diamond earrings. Do you give this look two thumbs up or down?

Oscars Trend: Knockout Necklaces

FabSugar — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 21:00:45 -0800

While many chose to let the gowns speak for themselves and go with bare necks on the red carpet, these ladies were rocking knockout necklaces. From Nicole Kidman's dramatic icicle-like layered necklace to Jennifer Gardner's choker, all of these ladies had a little, or a lot, of frosting on their necks.

Celebrity Style: Molly Sims

FabSugar — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Behold Molly Sims' swirly silk Alberta Ferretti goodness at the an LA photography exhibition hosted by the star. Yes, the pattern and colors of the dress make it unique, but I'm more drawn to her keen accessorizing abilities. Instead of leaving her neck bare, like most people would, Molly chose to layer different gold necklaces on top of one another for a chunky effect. This took the look from normal to snazzy. I also love her cork clutch and the deep-red peep toes because they're unexpected touches.

Yumi Kim Navy/Purple Starburst Dress - $205.00	Opera-length gold-ring necklace - $65.00
Charles David Beatriz - $195.00	Cork Clutch - $98.00

The Look For Less: Marni Geometric Necklace

FabSugar — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 10:00:22 -0800

Geometric necklaces really make bare necks more interesting. This Marni Geometric Necklace ($635), is something I'd love to place around mine because it would add a touch of artsy flare to my look. But it's so out of my budget.

I was thrilled to come across this Forever 21 Retro Necklace ($6). For that price, I can purchase a dozen and start my own necklace business! But seriously, it's artsy just like the Marni version. Isn't the resemblance uncanny?

How Would YOU Wear It? Kate Hudson

FabSugar — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 08:00:22 -0800

Before this, I didn't know there were degrees of being matchy matchy. Kate Hudson took the concept to a whole new level at a recent D&G party. I know that grey is a prevalent color right now, but that doesn't mean you have to wear it head to toe, literally.

The top half of Kate's outfit is quite lovely. It's only when you look down that you cringe. The satin and suede combination kills the look, because as we Fabazons know, fabrics are of utmost importance. If I were Kate, I'd pair the jeweled neck blouse with a black mini skirt, bare legs, and a hot pair of pumps.

How would YOU wear it?
