Celebrity Style: Hilary Duff

Hilary Duff left her chunky earrings and designer logo bags at home for an uncomplicated, yet gorgeous, Summer look. The actress walked the red carpet for the latest Cartier Love Bracelet Launch party in a Phillip Lim cobalt strapless dress and black-patent gladiator heels. She kept her ears simple with diamond stud earrings and adorned her neck with a gold scalloped necklace - Cartier, perhaps? Can I hear a round of applause for this more pared down Hilary?!

Who says you can't mix grey and gold? Not Miss Hayden Panettiere. The petite actress, here at Katsuya Sushi in LA, proved that experimenting with unlikely color combinations is a good thing. Much like black and blue! On her menu tonight is a grey jersey maxi dress, Rebecca Minkoff's Morning After bag, gold gladiators, and an ivory wrap sweater. Cozy and cute all at the same time.

Jellie Gladiators: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 26 May 2008 07:00:22 PDT

Lately, I've been living in gladiators. Like a leather jacket, they add the perfect edgy touch to a girlie ensemble. I was thrilled when I found these Jellie Gladiators ($20) that come in cobalt, hot pink, bronze, silver, black, and white. If it weren't for the gladiator part of the equation, I wouldn't like it, but the jellie part makes it all the more unique. I got the cobalt, will you?

Who Wore It Better? Blue and Green Balenciaga Gladiator Sandals

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 11:00:22 PDT

You know the zeitgeist is in flux when Heidi Montag wears a Balenciaga item even before Sarah Jessica Parker! The reality starlet hit up NYC with Spencer on Wednesday, and took us all by surprise when she actually wore a cool outfit, complete with blue and green Balenciaga gladiator sandals. Then, the ever-so-lovely SJP filmed a commercial on Thursday in a Carrie-inspired outfit and the same exact Balenciaga shoes. I can't believe I'm doing this, but in this case, I prefer Heidi's outfit because it's more my style. Personalities aside, who do you think wore it better?

Lizzie Fuhr — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 05:30:57 PST

American Idol is back, so obviously we've got Ryan Seacrest on the brain. Way before he was hosting the show or dominating the radio airwaves, Seacrest was very young, very blond, with a very different gig. In 1994, he began hosting a kids' program called Gladiators 2000, a spin-off of the popular American Gladiators series. In this clip, Ryan teaches us all about the strongest muscle in our bodies: the heart, referring to it as "the Arnold Schwarzenegger of your body." For bona fide Seacrest gold, don't click away without watching this awesome, informative clip.

Chanel Spring 2012

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 09:29:04 PDT

Frills, feathers, sheerness, and shine: Karl Lagerfeld's Spring 2012 collection for Chanel had all the feminine indulgences, presented in a dreamy, under-the-sea setting. Models strode the runway in 80 looks, most of them rendered in a soft palette - silver, seafoam green, blush - and walked against a white backdrop filled with shapes from the sea, like seaweed and coral. They wore pearls in their hair, and as belts. Girly dresses with short hemlines, styled with metallic ankle booties or gladiator sandals, looked made for Chanel ambassadors Blake Lively, Rachel Bilson, and Alexa Chung. On the flip side, slim-fitted sheath dresses worth with iconic tweed jackets might have seemed more conservative, and certainly lacked the frills, but they felt light and even sexy.

Trends: feathers, peplum, seafoam green, .
Colors: seafoam green, iridescent hues, light blue, white, pale yellow, blush.
Key Look:Supermodel Freja's seafoam green, feathered dress took our breath away.
Accessories: Silver ankle booties, silver gladiator sandals.
Who Would Wear It: Girly, modern style icons of our day, who can easily wear feminine clothes without seeming too precious.

90210 "Let the Games Begin": Most Scandalous Moments

Becky Kirsch — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 09:27:12 PDT

The Greek war is very much alive and well at CU, and on this week's episode of 90210, Naomi makes a power play for control of the Greek Council. The fighting between her and Holly is just as dirty as ever, getting more personal as the ladies go for the jugular (translation: they get exes involved). Meanwhile, Liam and Annie are battling money troubles, while Dixon's fighting for control of his concentration.

It's a fun, silly episode that's packed with plenty of bikini shots, the return of a major character, and one particularly salacious commercial starring Liam. Let's break it all down when you keep reading.

Alexander McQueen Spring 2012

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 15:40:54 PDT

Otherworldly is the best way to describe Sarah Burton's Spring 2012 collection for Alexander McQueen. She referenced the Greek goddess Gaia, who in mythology gave birth to the gods of sea. The oceanic theme arose via undulating ruffles and pearl and coral-crusted embellishments that looked like barnacles. But first, the impeccable tailoring; first with a series of skirt suits, belted high and elegantly on the waist, done in powerful metallic gold and blush tones. Some of the jackets were cut to reveal delicate lace bralettes underneath. A string of babydoll dresses were floaty and full, designed to mimic the movements of a jellyfish, thanks to a plethora of ruffles. For the finale, a string of awe-inspiring gowns, one that spoke to the darkness of McQueen with black, spidery-cut leather. Models wore facemasks cut of lace, but some had beading made to look as if coral were spreading over their faces. It was transformative, and on a larger scale, a transformative moment for Sarah Burton, who has shown that she can lead the Alexander McQueen house forward in a lighter, but still breathtakingly complex direction.

Trends: aquatic theme, pearls, feathers, embellishment, wide belts, asymmetric hems.
Colors: gold, blush, coral, white, cream, black.
Key Piece: babydoll dresses with lace and ruffles were surprisingly light, while the gowns were just incredible. For "everyday" we love the tailored jackets that opened the show.
Accessories: platform gladiator sandals that climbed up models's legs.
Who Would Wear It: The gowns are for the most fashion-forward red carpet goers. But we can see some of the skirt suits working on Sarah Jessica Parker.
