Trend Alert: Ice Princesses

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 06:00:22 PST

All this time I've been preaching color and these ice princesses are stealing the spotlight. Gray goes many ways: casual, dressy, cool, sexy. The best part about gray is it's seasonless and you can play up colorful makeup and accessories. Work an icy demeanor in the Winter and a chill one in the Summer. Ice ice baby . . .

For a super Summer-inspired fix of flirty frocks, colorful bags, and must-have sandals, look no further than the stylish celebs making the rounds at Coach's cocktail-cum-charity benefit party in LA yesterday evening. Aside from the brand's slick leather-and-tassel satchels providing a cool accessorized boost, we loved the variety of sunny styles - girlie, muted sophistication, and all-out brights - spotted on the likes of Alexis Bledel, Olivia Munn, Jordana Brewster, and Kristen Bell. While Olivia opted for a Naven neon pink miniskirt and Jordana kept it cool in silver-gray tones, Alexis chose a butterfly-printed Tucker dress for the occasion.

Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron, and Matthew McConaughey were back in the spotlight at Cannes today to premiere The Paperboy in front of a glamorous crowd. The trio was up early this morning for a photocall, where Nicole wowed in a red dress. She changed into a gorgeous Lanvin gown for this afternoon's event, which also brought out Heidi Klum in Marchesa. John Cusack and director Lee Daniels were on hand, as was Macy Gray. There are only a few days left at the Cannes Film Festival, but before things wrap up, Robert Pattinson will hit the red carpet for the second time to show off Cosmopolis.

Chi Diem Chau — Tue, 08 May 2012 15:35:11 PDT

What a night! This year's Met Gala showed a bevy of inspiring, drop dead gorgeous looks from celebs, and while it was hard choosing, there were five women in particular who displayed utterly perfect ensembles in our fashion book. Diane Kruger stunned in a breathless purple feathered gown, Carey Mulligan shimmered in a whimsical one-of-a-kind paillette dress, and who can deny Gwyneth's chic and sexy, back-exposing gray silk number - all three ladies wore Prada. Furthermore, there was Nina Dobrev who shined in slinky black and gold Donna Karan Atelier gown, while Solange Knowles killed it in a sunny yellow peplum gown by Rachel Roy. Now, the hard part - who gets your best dressed vote?

Met Gala: Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow stopped fashion hearts this evening at the Met Gala donning a remarkable Prada dress. The look was equal parts sexy and chic thanks to the elegant dove-gray satin, oversize paillettes detail, halter-style neckline, and cutout back. For accessories, the stunner opted for a pair of satin pumps with a clear heel, a structured clutch, oversize earrings, and a statement ring. Hands down, one of the top looks of the evening, do you agree?

We're going wild for ASOS's new sustainable Spring/Summer Africa collection, which just launched today at ASOS.com. The 21-piece line includes crop tops, shorts, shirt dresses, and trousers featuring the bold patterns we're craving this season - we're also suckers for the cute giraffe and zebra prints. If you're not familiar with the line, you'll be happy to hear that the ASOS Africa collection is made in collaboration with SOKO Kenya, providing opportunities for underprivileged communities to establish sustainable, modern business through local craftsmanship. Additionally, a portion of each purchase goes to support local communities in Africa. We love fashion for a cause, and if you do too, check out the top three looks below, then click the slideshow to see the rest of the collection.

We'd like to pair this cool tank dress with a white blazer and wooden heels for a fun office ensemble.
This outfit strikes the perfect balance between modern and simplistic. We love the printed jacket paired against the gray cropped trousers.
How cute is this bold striped suit set? The short-sleeved jacket is ideal for dressing on a hot Summer day.

Kate Middleton has mastered the art of ladylike-chic ensembles. For the London premiere of African Cats, the Duchess of Cambridge selected a gray peplum dress by Matthew Williamson with elaborate embellishment around the neckline and sleeves.

She polished off her outfit with go-to accessories, a black clutch, satin pumps, and her husband, Prince William, of course! The royal couple will be celebrating their one-year anniversary this Sunday, April 29. On Allison McNamara: Madewell top.

Kate Middleton Shows Off Two Brilliant Peplum Looks - See Every Fashion Angle

Chi Diem Chau — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 08:34:32 PDT

Just days before celebrating her wedding anniversary to Prince William, Kate Middleton showed off her fashion savvy in Spring's hottest trend, wearing not one, but two brilliant peplum looks. Yesterday, Kate wore a dove gray peplum dress adorned with gorgeous beading embellishments by Matthew Williamson, paired with dark green suede pumps and a matching clutch at the UK premiere of African Cats. Kate then switched out of her fancy dress for a prim two-piece tweed suit by Rebecca Taylor for a royal reception at the Goldsmiths Hall in London honoring the Scott-Amundsen Centenary Race to the South Pole. We love how anyone can wear this look just as easily to the office. Meanwhile, blue suede pumps and an Anya Hindmarch snake skin clutch finish off her ensemble.
