Michelle, Georgina, and Bar Light Up the Whitney Gala in Marchesa - Who's Most Fab?

Hannah Weil — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 08:08:45 PDT

Last night's Whitney Gala brought out femme, frothy confections on three of the night's gorgeous attendees. It's no coincidence that Michelle Monaghan, Georgina Chapman, and Bar Refaeli's intricately glam creations are all Marchesa - the design house is a favorite for beautifully ornate gowns like these. Still, it makes picking a favorite that much harder. Each stunned in her own right: Michelle in a shimmery, white peplum-trimmed dress; Georgina in a sculptural, statement-red strapless; and Bar in an delicately tiered, champagne-hued gown. It's not easy, but we want to know who gets your vote for most Fab?

We caught up with Marchesa designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig at the HP Fashion Celebration where the two designers chatted about creating 3D lookbooks and how the new technology allows clients a more dynamic way to see their designs. Additionally, they share their inspiration behind the Spring 2012 line and the key to dressing for the red carpet.

The Cannes Film Festival continued into day seven with more glamour spotting on the red carpet.

Of course, there's more Cannes style in store - click on for the best of day seven.

Anne Hathaway Lets Loose, Dances With an Oscar at Weinstein Party!

Molly Goodson — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 15:00:43 PST

Anne Hathaway celebrated the end of a very successful Oscars hosting gig by hitting the dance floor at the Weinstein party. She grabbed onto someone's little gold man, presumably from one of the many The King's Speech wins, to show off her moves and her arm muscles with the heavy statue. Her boyfriend, Adam Shulman, watched on and joined in on the fun as onlookers snapped pictures with their phones. Anne picked her red Atelier Versace for the festivities, which was one of seven looks she wore on stage. James Franco and Anne's performance earned mixed reviews, and Buzz thinks she could have done it all on her own. James also released the full video of their Grease homage that ended up on the cutting-room floor. He apparently wasn't in the mood to hit the town last night, since he skipped his own ultra-exclusive bash to head back to school on the East Coast.

You've Seen How They Design - Now See How They Dress!

Fashion designers obviously have a sharp sense of style - or else they wouldn't be able to produce such beautiful pieces. But some put forth more effort than others. Like every time I see bag guru Rebecca Minkoff out at an event, she looks put-together and edgy. Or whenever Chloe's designer Hannah MacGibbon comes out at the end of her runway shows, she stuns us with her polished chic looks. There are plenty of other lady designers - Georgina Chapman, Cynthia Rowley, and Vanessa Bruno, to name a few - that dress as impeccably as they design. You've seen their designs; now get to know their personal style!

Spring 2011 New York Fashion Week: Marchesa

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 16:20:02 PDT

We can always expect show-stopping dresses at a Marchesa presentation, and its 2011 Spring collection didn't disappoint. At all. Upon entering its intimate space at the Chelsea Art Museum, we were first treated to an enormous ebony and pearl gown of endless tulle inspired by what Keren Craig and new mom Georgina Chapman called "an Orientalist journey."

Then they departed from that idea with a series of baggy lace jumpsuits and laser-cut floral minis. Georgina's supportive husband, Harvey Weinstein, held court while she hung back and did press with Keren. Other notables like Molly Sims, Petra Nemcova, and Olivia Palermo turned out - Kelly Osbourne put up her new long hair and told us she's so excited to see lots of camels, corals, and beiges this season since "they look really good on me when I have a fake tan!" Georgina and Keren stuck to a palette of ivory, mint, and rose, giving us their latest crop of dresses bound to be spotted on future red carpets. One more cool thing about this presentation - we spotted some kind assistants walking around and actually feeding the models peanut M&Ms and apple juice! Amazing.

Celeb Style: Sarah Jessica Parker

Calling all party monsters. If you are currently lacking inspiration for holiday dressing, let SJP be your muse. The lovely leading lady razzle-dazzled 'em at the UK premiere of Did You Hear About the Morgans? in a shocking pink L'Wren Scott dress and fabulously fun accessories. Those purple suede and pink satin Charlotte Olympia pumps - swoon. Her flowing black L'Wren Scott coat even carried a signature Carrie rosette pin. Takes me back. But SJP is always taking it fashion forward.

Who Wore It Better? Cobalt Silk Marchesa Mini

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:00:22 PST

It's stiff competition when it's between the model-like designer of the dress and an actual model. Alas, we must decide. Both beauties wore this cobalt strapless silk wool dress with draped bodice and kept everything to a minimum, to let the dress shine. Stunning earrings were adorned by both, as well as neutral pumps - though Jacquetta's sandals have a slight gold sheen. We don't witness Georgina's handbag, but Jacquetta's embellished gunmetal Marchesa clutch looks pretty cool. Who wore it best?
