Trend Alert: Double Belt Belts

FabSugar — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 04:00:22 -0700

When you're wearing a double belt belt, do you have double the fun? Elle Macpherson proves my theory. She looks pretty happy riding along wearing her black patent double belt, not to mention pretty cute. What's more, she wore it over her sweater jacket for added cozy style. Come Spring it will be all about the sash belt, but for now, snatch up a fun double belt belt.

Who Wore It Better? H&M Multicolored Sweater Dress

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:00:22 -0800

One multicolored H&M sweater dress, two completely different ways. Rihanna opted for an eccentric version, wearing it with a Louis Vuitton fanny pack, chunky combat boots, and a chain necklace. Alternately, Katy wore her sweater dress in a womanly way, with high-heeled over-the-knee boots, a double-strap belt, and metallic bag. Both ladies ooze confidence, but this is a matter of taste - do you prefer the badass or the babe?

Trend Alert: Multiple Buckle Belts

FabSugar — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 11:30:22 -0700

When did belts get so complex? Simple single buckle belts aren't copacetic for designers anymore. These multiple buckle belts are dynamic and make a statement all right. The statement being "Look at my womanly waist!" Not such a bad calling card if you ask me.

Celeb Style: Ginnifer Goodwin

FabSugar — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 10:29:38 -0700

Most concert-goers don jeans and a tee but not Ginnifer Goodwin. The actress attended the U2 concert in Pasadena looking chic in all black. Up top she wore Joie's black flutter-sleeve lace top, then completed the look with slim, black IRO trousers and Stella McCartney pumps. A studded double belt breaks up the look, while a black clutch and chunky cocktail ring serve as gorgeous accessories.

2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: Phillip Lim

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:15:59 -0700

When the runway is red and the invite has a threaded red stripe through it, does that promise a red-hot collection? When it's Phillip Lim it does. As expected, Lim's first couple looks were red - a lipstick-red double-breasted shirt jacket and roll-down waist pants, a slick red rain trench, red crystal sunglasses (have to have those). But Lim knows you can have too much of a good thing and quickly switched to cool gray knits and his favorite tomboyish shorts, cardis, and button downs.

Unordinary details like "illusion" bow fasteners, embellished belts, and collaged textures separated Lim from the rest. And then came the sparkle. Bronze and silver sequin panels on accordion pleat dresses and a straight-up silver sequin shirt dress surely sent front rowers Lauren Conrad and Leighton Meester's hearts aflutter. And the finale dress, on death-staring Karlie Kloss: ivory lace tiered "compilation" dress with abstract cubist sculptural organza appliqué. The mirrors at the entrance of the runway made Karlie appear to be strutting through the looking glass . . .

2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: Derek Lam

FabSugar — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 13:27:44 -0700

Imagination. It's nice to see some imagination. Optimism. Fun. Stars. Derek Lam delivered a highly entertaining collection - you didn't know what to expect next. Carnival colors mixed with womanly separates, all with a '40s flair. Though lovely, this collection left me wondering one thing: where are the gowns? Lam chose to finish his runway lineup with several draped one-pieces. A few fun printed cocktail dresses graced the runway - it was all about legs, legs, legs. Americana-inspired, a star print stole the spotlight, as did as this gold hologram sequined blouse and skirt (looks like a dress, huh?). Teensy jackets, wrap skirts, and corseted dresses, in luxe suede and double crepe, will no doubt prove to be popular. Accessories were equally fun: star-shaped hoop Dean Harris earrings, wraparound belts (one model forgot hers), mini duffel bags, and safari sandals. Some may argue this collection was incoherent, I think that was the intention: unorganized glamour.

Celebrity Style: Marion Cotillard

FabSugar — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 11:00:22 -0700

How does Marion always manage to look so pretty? Not fair. The Frenchie made a cameo at the Public Enemies premiere in Chicago. I'm sure the pink strapless dress is Christian Dior - Marion is the house muse after all - but her neutral accents prevent it from being overly girlie. The double brown belt is super cool and her pewter Sergio Rossi peep toes are the right amount of shine. She wore a little ivory knit bolero when chatting with the film's director Michael Mann. Pretty at it's best.

Design History Cross-Over Strapless Dress - $88.00	Studded double-strap belt - $50.00
Gwyneth Shoes Women's Quartz Peep Toe Pump - $168.95	Elizabeth Gillett Ltd Kylie Knit Cardigan with Ribbed Border - $65.00

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 04:00:22 -0700

If all else fails, just belt it. The weekend ensemble kakakat wore went up a few notches thanks to her tan double belt. So cool how a small detail like a belt has the ability to take a look from simple to diverse. Great styling, girl.

Here's what she's wearing:

Top: Macy's
Skirt: Forever 21
Belt: Zara
Boots: Old Navy

Congrats to kakakat!

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

Screen Actors Guild Awards: Tina Fey

FabSugar — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 17:36:56 -0800

How adorable is Tina Fey in her little Brian Reyes cocktail number? The dark purple moiré is made more luxe by the intense texture. The double belt draws attention to her teeny waist. And, she worked with the designer on the design from sketch to belt! Her stacked sparkly bracelets add a touch of glamour, while her monochrome look is completed by a box clutch and patent pumps. Is Tina working it?
