FabSugar — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 12:00:22 -0700

In celebration of BCBG's 20th anniversary, the brand's biggest fans attended the Whitney Contemporaries art and auction party in NYC. Models and actresses alike posed and partied the night away in designer Max Azria's stunning frocks. Some opted for his Herve Leger line, while others went straight for Max Azria. Camilla Belle was one of the best dressed in this beautiful green one-shoulder ruffle Max Azria dress. Hilary Rhoda, Ali Larter, Alexis Bledel, and many others turned out as well. Come on in party people.

This Week's Fab Favorite: Hilary Rhoda

FabSugar — Fri, 29 May 2009 15:00:22 -0700

Not too long ago, Hilary described her personal style to us as "classic, confident, and comfortable." I see that in what she wore to the Fifi awards this week, but she certainly upped the ante. Hilary, in origami pleated Jacques Fath, showed us how Fab accessories can make your look go from simple to stellar. The dress itself is cool, but her dramatic blue-hued drop earrings, layered bracelets, weblike Jimmy Choo Verity sandals, and metallic clutch are cooler. Any more would have been overboard, any less would have been vanilla. Pulling her hair back in a sleek bun also helped balance the sharp accessories and let us see her glowing face. Hilary appears to be one of the healthiest models out there; may her style and radiance be an inspiration to us all.

Model Mania at Met's Costume Institute Gala!

FabSugar — Tue, 05 May 2009 11:29:43 -0700

Models are always welcomed at Met's Costume Institute Gala, but since last night's exhibit was all about them, they felt way more at home. Current models like Hana Soukupova, Coco Rocha, and Isabeli Fontana mixed and mingled with classics like Stella Tennant, Alek Wek, and Maggie Rizer, as well as old-school Supers Amber Valletta, Kristen McMenamy, and Nadja Auermann (left). It was a site to be seen; one that melted my heart. Every one of them ruled, and one young blond model even came on the arm of a Hollywood actor! Let the model mania begin . . .

Model of the Week: Hilary Rhoda

FabSugar — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 08:50:11 -0700

Hilary Rhoda has been a longtime favorite around here. Much like Christy Turlington, her classic American good looks make her one of the most approachable models out there. But, in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue, Hilary proves that she can be just as sexy as she can be sweet. I recently spoke with the 22-year-old about her favorite designers, experience on the SI set, and traveling.

Who are your favorite designers?

I am a huge fan of Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney, and Zac Posen, but there are so many other new and established designers that it’s hard to commit to only three.

What are three words that describe your personal style?
I think classic, confident, and comfortable.

What is the best and worst thing about modeling?

The best thing about modeling is the traveling and all the wonderful places you see while shooting. On the other hand, the worst part is the traveling and the schedule where you’re never in one city for very long and you miss your family and friends.

What is one destination you still need a stamp for on your passport?

Australia.

What was the coolest thing about being in Sports Illustrated?

Sports Illustrated has been the magazine credited by so many models for making their careers. I am honored to now be a part of that family of women who have made names for themselves and whom so many people respect.

What is your favorite bikini style and how many swimsuits do you own?

I like the typical triangle string bikini, it's the easiest for me to wear. I have never counted how many swimsuits I own, but it's way up there. I love buying bathing suits every Spring to get myself excited for the warm weather.

Fab Blab: Jason Wu Speaks of Michelle O, Meanwhile Is Really Focused

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 14:56:59 -0700

There was lots of action amidst the rain at last night's NYC premiere of Grey Gardens. A couple fashion designers attended the fabulous event - Peter Som and Jason Wu - and we had the chance to chat it up with designer-of-the-moment Wu, here with model Hilary Rhoda in his design.

He spoke of his most famous fan, Michelle Obama, and on a more serious note, about managing in this ever-worsening economy. And for everyone wondering if he has anything in the works for the first lady, Wu replied, "You know it’s too early to say right now."

On making an iconic presidential dress:“It’s fantastic and to have a dress in the Smithsonian is not too shabby either.”
On being a young designer:“As a designer, I’m always creative. To me just right now I’m just buried in my work and haven’t had a moment to think about it. Someone pointed out to me, ‘Your dress is going to outlive you.’ And I’m like ‘That’s pretty great!'"

To read the rest, read more.

Thoughts on Michelle’s style:“I think Michelle Obama’s style is fantastic and it’s very timeless and it’s inspirational. She really owns it and I think that’s what a truly stylish woman is, someone who wears her clothes with confidence."
On Michelle's style during her European tour:"It was great she championed American designers - what more can we ask for, right?"
On doing anything differently with the looming economy:"I’m just really concentrating on the business. It’s clothes first, I’m just keeping really focused."

Which Estée Lauder Beauty Is Most Fab?

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 14:00:22 -0700

So what if the majority of July's Bazaar contains multiple images of Hilary Rhoda, Gwyneth Paltrow, Elizabeth Hurley, and Caroline Murphy? I like them all. They are all great beauties in their own right and I thought Estée Lauder was promoted with class. Speaking of, the spokesladies were at Bloomingdale's last night to promote the new fragrance Sensuous. They must have coordinated with their individual, but complementary, frocks and black sandals. Once again, they all look great. But my eye goes to one Lauder lady in particular (guess who!). Who's your fave?

Models Shake It For a Polaroid Picture

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 08:00:22 -0700

Something about viewing go-see Polaroids of models seems invasive, but cool. It's almost like getting a sneak peek of your favorite models in the comfort of their own home, without tons of makeup, without all the serious posing. For those who aren't familiar with modeling jargon, a go-see is an appointment arranged by the model or her agency as an opportunity to interview with clients. Models are asked to keep their face bare and their clothes simple and form-fitting. That's because designers and magazine editors want to see the real girl, sans all the fluff. Here are a bunch of go-see Polaroids that cast a new light on some of your favorite models, including Gemma Ward (left), Erin Wasson, and Daria Werbowy.
