The Golden Globes Red Carpet: Grecian Goddesses

FabSugar — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 22:42:31 -0800

Grecian style dresses made a bold statement on the red carpet last night, and I must say, I loved every last one of them. From Drew's elegant draped white Christian Dior to Eva's embellished navy Emanuel Ungaro, all six of these leading ladies were dressed to impress. Loose hair and simple makeup completed these looks, but where were all the fabulous jewels we are used to seeing? That said, great job on the red carpet lovelies!

March Shopping Madness! Decadent Draping

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 06:00:22 -0700

When I feel like channeling my inner goddess, I look for clothes with decadent draping. This ode to Grecian beauty is all about soft textiles wrapped, folded, and pleated into beautiful cuts. Take for example this Elizabeth and James Drape Skirt ($295). The smokey lilac hue and fluid swoop are simultaneously modern yet magical; the thick black banded waist adds sporty chic. Quite the perfect Spring skirt . . .

This Week's Fab Favorite: Molly Sims

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 14:00:22 -0800

What's red, silky, and flawlessly draped? Molly Sims in Donna Karan! The actress attended the Fired Up premiere in LA in a look that made even the red carpet envious. The first thing that caught my attention, aside from the plush color, is the flawless drape job. Shoulders, bodice, skirt, back - it's drape madness. Knowing that Donna Karan designed the dress, it makes sense that it hangs beautifully.

But we all know a dress alone cannot make an outfit; accessories are key. To that end, Molly fancied her feet with strappy black sandals, and adorned her wrists with black and gold bracelets. A gold geometric clutch added further shine to the mix. This is as modern a Grecian goddess is ever going to get.

March Shopping Madness: Grecian Splendor

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 05:00:22 -0700

Grecian splendor will never go out of style because beautiful things never expire. Just ask drape-happy Rami Kashou from Project Runway. Although he overdid it, you can't deny that draped and one-shoulder styles are the closest we'll ever get to being a goddess . . . at least in this lifetime!

Kate Beckinsale recently channeled her inner goddess at a red carpet event in an Alberta Ferretti embellished Grecian gown. Like her, and many other red-carpet stars, let's dress like the goddesses we are.

Fab Finger Discount: New York & Co. Grecian Draped Tube Blouse

FabSugar — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 16:00:08 -0800

I'm not one to wear typical going-out tops but this New York & Company Grecian Draped Tube Blouse ($31, originally $44) spoke to me for some reason. The shape is fresh, and the boatneck makes it the chicest party top I've seen. But this top is not all modest; the open side seams reveal a sexy tube top. It also comes in black, so get the color you like, and party like a goddess.

Guess the Gorgeous Grecian!

Hollywood ladies have been showing a lot of skin on the red carpet, but not where you might expect it. The latest is all about showing shoulders - and just one, to be exact. The power of the Aphrodite has celebs donning beautiful one-shouldered frocks modernized in a range of colors and fabrics. Are you up to date with these Grecian goddesses? Take my quiz and see if you can match the shoulder to the star!

Liv does no wrong with her minimalist Calvin Klein dresses - and this shimmery black number is no exception. The pleats and one-shouldered draping make her look like a modern-day Grecian goddess, don't you think? And check out her cool glistening bangles.

Fab Finding Follow Up: Covering the Oscars!

FabSugar — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 16:00:22 -0800

Last week, I asked you to imagine you're heading to Hollywood to cover the Oscars red carpet on Sunday - and that you're freaking out a little bit about what to wear. You have to compete with people who have stylists and have been painstakingly planning what they're wearing for months, and you only have a week. Eeek! The only solution is to go glam, go all out, and get noticed!

I started you off with this Brian Atwood Daphne Metallic Clutch ($1,195) because it's chic and understated - so go crazy with the dress!

Let's see what you all came up with!

Look # 1, created by CocoChic is a nice slice of tangerine for the red carpet; the ruffles are extravagant and remind me of the soft nude dress Penelope wore last year to the Oscars.

Katie Holmes graced the Critics' Choice Awards stage with her Lanvin-clad presence. The one-shouldered gown is decadent, for sure, but does it make her look more Grecian goddess or young Anna Wintour in toga?
