Celebrity Style: Blake Lively

FabSugar — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Blake is forming quite a fan club and we can all see why . . . just look at her! She is the quintessential American girl. Blonde, beautiful, bubbly, and on her way to visit ABC's Good Morning America with the rest of the adorable cast of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. There's always room in my week for a great jeans look. Blake made this her own by throwing on layered aquamarine beaded necklaces and natural cork wedges. As always, her hair looks amazing and her smile is dazzling. I don't know if I would have opted for a black bowling bag, but Blake makes it work.

Celebrity Style: Diane Kruger

In case you haven't heard, I absolutely adore Diane Kruger. Any opportunity to feature her is more than fine by me, and that's why I was thrilled to see her looking stunning, as usual, at the Cartier Polo Day. That eggplant hue really suits her and gives her an air of sophistication that most Hollywooders lack. Her use of black accessories, especially the patent leather belt, are understated yet sleek. And that other accessory - her man, Joshua Jackson - isn't bad either!

Well-tamed Animal Prints

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Aug 2006 14:32:00 -0700

Every couple of years, the fashion world declares that animal prints are "in," and each time, I just can't seem to embrace the look. No matter how pricey the animal prints are, they always end up looking like something you'd wear to a Mississippi casino. One exception: This season's animal-print shoes and handbags from Donald J. Pliner. The designs use leopard and giraffe patterns sparingly and temper them with edgy red and black leather accents for a hip, urban effect.

Celebrity Style: Jennifer Connelly

FabSugar — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 12:00:22 -0700

Here, while paying a visit to the Late Show with David Letterman, Jennifer Connelly shows us that all black is not all boring. The cropped jacket with oversized buttons adds texture to the ensemble. The key to not looking drab in all black is to mix up different textures, like wool with leather with satin, á la Jennifer. She finishes the look with a hint of color thanks to her jade drop earrings. Brava!

Cropped Wool Jacket - $148.00	James Perse High Waist Pencil Skirt - $56.99
Donald J Pliner Cooke - $265.00	La Regale Small Jewel Clasp Satin Clutch - $64.00
Alexis Bittar green briolette earrings - $51.00

Celebrity Style: Mandy Moore

FabSugar — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 12:30:22 -0700

Mandy Moore looked very au natural at the Mercedes-Benz Bridgehampton Polo Challenge in Long Island over the weekend. Her gold knit dress is flattering but I'm glad she chose to pair it with those white sassy wedge sandals! Without them, the ensemble would be quite snooze-worthy. She tops it all off with some chunky jewels...she's literally golden!

Only Hearts Sleeveless Metallic Tent Dress, $132	Donald J Pliner Mana White Patent/Natural Cork Opentoe Shoes, on sale for $178 (originally $214)
Gold Cut Leaf Earrings, $115	Kenneth Jay Lane faux pearl clustered cocktail ring, $54
