Celebrity Style: Paris Hilton

FabSugar — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 11:00:08 -0700

I'm impressed by Paris Hilton's decision to wear a gorgeous emerald green Diane von Furstenberg dress to the David Letterman Show. The hue looks just as good on blonds as it does on red heads. I am especially into the peek-a-boo lace effect on the bodice. Though Paris usually likes to pile on the accessories, she kept it surprisingly simple. Not a jewel in sight; only a small black bag and snakeskin pumps. Brava.

On Our Radar: Bid on Keira Knightley's Atonement Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 03:00:00 -0800

I recently featured a Look For Less for Keira Knightley's Atonement dress but now you can get the real thing! Clothes Off Our Back is auctioning the emerald green gown beginning today until March 1. The starting price is $1,000, and though it's a hefty price to pay, take into consideration that you'll be helping Variety, The Children’s Charity of Southern California. Plus, you'll forever have the dress that Keira wore in the Academy Award nominated film. Now that's a reason to be green with envy.

Who Wore It Better? Dolce & Gabbana Emerald Green Satin Gown

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 03:00:22 -0800

How can we forget when Rihanna overpowered the red carpet in her emerald green satin Dolce & Gabbana gown? It looks like Billy Joel's wife, Katie Lee Joel, was green with envy because she selected the same mesmerizing dress for a recent event. Both ladies look stunning, but I don't understand why Katie blocked her dress with her hair. Rihanna is more polished while Katie's more at ease. Which gal wins you over?

The Look For Less: Keira Knightley's Emerald Green Atonement Dress

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 06:00:22 -0800

Atonement costume designer Jacqueline Durran chose emerald green for Keira Knightley's character because to her, the hue symbolizes temptation. She certainly found the perfect color (which was a mixture of lime green silk, black and green organza, and green chiffon) because the dress is loved by nearly every girl who has seen the flick. Lucky for us, there's a look for less!

Faviana's Celebrity-Inspired Green Gown ($238) is nearly an identical copy of Keira's version. But unlike the actress' dress, it's not as low-cut, which is a good thing considering it would be hard to wear in real life. Should it sell out, visit Faviana's website for more info.

Trend Alert: Red Carpet Return to Oz

FabSugar — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 06:00:22 -0800

I don't know if these ladies are in the holiday mode or showing their support for the green fashion movement, but there has been a red carpet return to oz. Jewel tones look amazing on pretty much anyone. You may recall that emerald green especially looks fantastic on pale skinned redheads, a la Julianne Moore in YSL at the 2003 Oscars. For whatever reason you choose to wear this regal hue, do so this holiday and do so in style.

Celebrity Style: Kate Moss

FabSugar — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 11:00:22 -0700

As hoped, Kate made a grand entrance at the ribbon cutting for the grand opening of Topshop NYC. She's been partying it up in Topshop all week. We don't see Kate in bold colors often, so her emerald green Kate Moss for Topshop maxi is a shock to the eyes . . . in a good way! Silver chandelier earrings and Yves Saint Laurent black platform pumps maintain the chic while her blue leather jacket brings it all downtown.

Silence & Noise Motorcycle Jacket - $128.00	Fairytale Maxi Dress** - £120.00
Yves Saint Laurent Tribtoo Slingback - Black - $795.00	Carolee Austrian Crystal Chandelier Earrings - $65.00

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 16:00:22 -0800

Is it me or is there a recent shortage of show-stopping handbags on the shelves? As I was starting to loose faith, this Jill Stuart Valerie Patent Bag ($277, originally $395) came along. First thing that caught my eye was the gorgeous emerald hue (it also comes in black and espresso); it's so festive and rich.

2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: Proenza Schouler

FabSugar — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 12:00:22 -0700

A self-proclaimed mermaid, I drowned in Proenza Schouler's aquatic chic Spring collection. It wasn't evident right away - leather and bondage shirt dresses and jackets opened. And then, like a flurry of fish, tiered and ruffled frocks in teals, turquoise, and acid green stole the scene. Seaweed sequins in purple and emerald, and even some feathers, trimmed asymmetrical hems. Then the prints - tie dye, stone wash, water ripples, mana ray - on frilly skirts and perfect shifts. Dramatic wedges were scuba fantastic, sunnies were bold and reflective, bags were eclectic. The babydoll was reinvented in a strappy, sassy bralette style. Washed up, sometimes green, beachy hair, completed the marine melody. Lastly, three Traina's were in attendance - longtime PS supporters. Soak, it, up.

Cheap & Chic: Emerald Envy

FabSugar — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 08:00:22 -0800

True, Angelina Jolie's Elie Saab black sweetheart Oscars gown was simple. Also true: Her Lorraine Schwartz $2.5M oversize teardrop dangles were knockouts. They, along with an emerald ring, really made her look, and the best part was they were unexpected. We always see diamonds and sparkle at the awards shows, but these are the biggest, boldest emeralds I've ever seen. They left me with emerald envy. You may or may not know that emeralds are one the costliest gems. But you too can make the world green with envy. Put together a sharp all-black ensemble with one of these and someone will notice, I promise.
