Celeb Style: Carey Mulligan

FabSugar — Fri, 14 May 2010 10:02:51 PDT

I've been wanting to do a Celeb Style on Carey - she is an upcoming fashion force. This navy and black look was perfect for the Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps press conference at Cannes. Professional, polished, poised. It's all in the details here, from her suede and chiffon Fendi cutout sandals, to her double black leather belt, to the folds on her Roland Mouret sheath. If this is a nod to the new minimalism, I'm in.

Who Wore It Better? Marc Jacobs Navy Wrap Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 13:00:22 PST

Black and blue keeps on going and going. Anne Hathaway dabbled with the color combination via her navy Marc Jacobs wrap dress back when she attended the David Letterman Show in October. She added black with opaque tights, pumps, and a Ferragamo bag. Courteney Cox Arquette chose the same dress for the Bedtime Stories premiere in Hollywood. She kept her look black and blue, too, only she added a necklace and a clutch. Two fine actresses, but which wore their Marc Jacobs better?

Let me put it this way: Funky Lala's sale section has so many goodies, it was seriously difficult for me to choose one item to spotlight. Botkier bags, Tashkhent by Cheyenne shoes, Pegah Anvarian dresses are all extraordinarily Fab.

I finally picked this Gryson Tate Papery Patent Navy with Black Bag ($415, originally $875) because I've been craving a navy bag for Fall. This one is so slick and satiates my love for black and blue. Now go find your favorite.

Double Celebrity Style: Demi Moore and Tallulah Belle Willis

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 12:00:22 PDT

I love it when mother and daughter look equally stunning. At Glamour's Annual Reel Moments event, Demi Moore and daughter Tallulah Belle Willis both lit up the red carpet. Demi did so in a black Catherine Malandrino dress, while Tallulah dazzled in a navy silk Opening Ceremony frock. Doesn't the black-and-blue combination work so well together? While mommy opted for Yves Saint Laurent's Tribute pumps, daughter went the Louboutin route. Both stylish in their own way.

Trend Alert: Black & Blue

FabSugar — Thu, 03 May 2007 11:04:33 PDT

Wasn't there a point in time when people didn't think black and blue went together? Seeing as how the most common colors associated with a bruise are "black and blue" I don't really understand how people thought these colors didn't complement each other. Together, they create a dark mystique that oozes cool and collected. I have spotted this color combo on several starlets as of late and I'm totally into it. These three looks in particular are all very different, but all work, proving that black and blue is pretty versatile. Blast those naysayers who said it couldn't work!

The common denominator in two of these looks is layers. All three decided to go with noir shoes - probably the best way to work it. As well, the blue is more navy and moody; although bright blue works and sequins do too! This trend will take you into the Fall and beyond - but kbella already knows this!

To see my black & blue outfit,

Lauren Moffatt Sleeveless A-line Dress, $273.

J. Crew Ella patent-leather T-strap flats, $118.

bebe Basket Shawl Cardigan, $80.

We love that she played it casually chic, adding evening shorts and a white tuxedo blazer to her basic tee.

See How Style-Setting Celebrities Bring the Heat in Hot Pink

Brittney Stephens — Wed, 16 May 2012 11:51:36 PDT

With all the bold pops of color to choose from this season - yellow, lime, aqua - is there any one more classic that hot pink? Not only did we spot the hue in Spring collections from Tory Burch, Nanette Lepore, and more, but some of our favorite style-setting celebs have been incorporating the color into their wardrobes as well. Though the standard for red-carpet fixtures like Nina Dobrev, Caroline Sieber, and Lindsay Ellingson is to pair these brights with neutral black or white, you can always take it a step further by mixing your brights together - think a hot pink top with bright blue trousers, or an electric yellow blouse tucked into a pink pencil skirt. For some more chic examples, we've rounded up 10 of our favorite recent celebrity examples of hot pink done right. Click through to see how they do it, then shop our editors' picks.

Look of the Day: Parisian Classic

Marisa Tom — Mon, 14 May 2012 03:00:32 PDT

You don't have to be in Paris to look just as chic as one of its locals. Case in point: this Fab reader Postgradchic channeled a totally classic French-girl look with the help of a tailored topper, a slick t-shirt, and cream-hued pointy-toe pumps. She wore a striped black-and-white tee with cuffed blue jeans, then topped the outfit with a Spring-perfect trench coat. Her accessories - a brown belt, chic fedora, neutral-toned pumps, and brown tote - rounded out the ensemble with an effortlessly stylish touch.

Congrats Postgradchic!

Everyone else, submit your looks, and we might just feature you on FabSugar!
