Ugly Betty Is Not So Ugly!

FabSugar — Fri, 05 Jan 2007 09:28:09 -0800

In fact, she's quite fetching! With all the backlash against super skinny models and the new model regulations in Spain and Milan, I think a revolution is under way. An appreciation for a woman's natural curves is surfacing within fashion. What ever happened to the days of curvy screen sirens like Sophia Loren and Bridgette Bardot? I know times change, but these ladies were wonderfully womanly.

Life & Style did a recent story and glammed up curvy Ugly Betty star America Ferrera. We all can achieve her classic, Marilyn Monroe look with a shoulder-baring sweater, cinched belt and full skirt. I love this default look so much I put my own outfit together for Betty, er, America. Bombshells away!

FabSugar — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:53:22 -0800

Leave it to Rihanna to bring on the drama. She's a standout in this black and white laser cutout gown by Marchesa. It's revealing, but not too much, and her white shoes add further contrast. Another winner for Rihanna?

Do You Think Althea Copies Irina on Project Runway?

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:00:22 -0800

Part one of Project Runway's finale aired last night. Tim Gunn visited the three remaining designers' homes to check in on their collections. Amid all the creativity, there was continued tension between Irina and Althea. Ever since the famous locale challenge, Irina has claimed Althea copies her designs. And last night, you could see it in Irina's eyes (right), she was thinking it again. Do you think there's any truth to Irina's accusations or is she just being paranoid?

OK, can it get more scandalous on Gossip Girl? Between Jenny's almost druggie experience and Serena's congressional makeout session, I almost forgot this was a teen show. Oh, the drama. Did you take fashion notes? You know I did . . .

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:30:22 -0800

There is never a dull moment on The City. Last night, more work drama ensued. First Whitney and Roxy were reprimanded by Kelly for bickering in public. She even threatened to take away their jobs if it happens again. Then Olivia underperformed again, upsetting both Erin and Zoe, though Erin more. Regardless, it was fun to see Kelly running her business and Whitney picking up the ropes. Did you hone in on the fashion details? Let's find out.

Celeb Style: Stella McCartney

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:00:22 -0800

The 2009 Glamour Women of the Year awards in NYC celebrated the industry's most powerful women. Rihanna went for high drama, but Stella McCartney played it nonchalantly cool. The designer walked the red carpet in a look from her Resort line: a purple silk frock, a cropped black collarless jacket, and black pumps. Never one to go overboard with accessories, Stella added a touch of sparkle via diamond drop earrings. Perfection.

Corey Lynn Calter Purple Sam Wrap Dress - $160.00	Madewell - $170.00
Stella McCartney Gold Trim Platform Pump - $795.00	Kir Tassel Earrings - $292.00
KC Malhan 04 Leopard Clutch - $78.00

The City Fashion Quiz: Episode 5, "Hit It and Quit It"

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 10:00:22 -0700

Another day, another drama-packed day in The City. As always, there was major attitude-giving between Olivia and Erin, both at the office and at the Elle event. But the party went on and Whitney, Whitney's boy Freddy and Roxy, Kelly, Olivia, and Erin were all there. Speaking of Freddy, was it necessary for him to bring his dad on his date? So not. Whitney handled it well, though. For a split second I hoped that Jay would win her heart back in the end, but not so much. Let's see how well you were paying attention to the clothes.
