Fab Read: Are You a Jackie or a Marilyn?

FabSugar — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 09:00:05 PST

It's an age-old question: are you the bombshell or the debutante? The flirty starlet or the sophisticated first lady? Are You a Jackie or a Marilyn? Timeless Lessons on Love, Power, and Style ($16) starts with a fun quiz that will help you figure that out. Whether you identify with one more than the other or happen to be a little of both, this Fab read is part style guide, part history lesson. You'll learn tons about both of the iconic women - like their favorite books and music - and get tips on how to emulate their style and overall allure in all areas of your life. This is a totally useful tome, and as a very proud Marilyn, I'm looking forward to using the tips.

A Fabby Halloween: Jackie O

FabSugar — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 14:00:22 PDT

If you're looking for an effortlessly chic costume this year, look no further than Jackie O. Unfortunately she left us in 1994, but her legacy and style will live on forever. Among the signature pieces in Jackie's closet were oversize round sunglasses, pillbox hats, pearls, a khaki trench coat, black flats, bow headbands, and cropped pants. Clearly this woman loved fashion and the fashion world loved her back. Whether she was performing her first lady duties or vacationing on a yacht with her second husband Aristotle Onassis, Jackie was always put together - the world never caught her in sweat pants. Strut a day in this amazing woman's shoes; it might just change your fashion mentality forever.

Fab Read: What Would Jackie Do? An Inspired Guide to Distinctive Living

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 16:00:22 PDT

I recently visited Anthropologie and was sidetracked by a fabulous book: What Would Jackie Do? An Inspired Guide to Distinctive Living by Shelly Branch and Sue Callaway ($13). If you admire Jackie O as much as I do, you will fall in love with this book. It offers fun life and fashion tips based on what the authors have learned from Jackie's grandiose life. An example? Book your flight through an airport where the agents are apt to be less savvy about recognizing Prada. Smart!

Jeanne Tripplehorn to Play Jackie Kennedy Onassis

BuzzSugar — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 16:28:04 PST

Wow, I probably never would have thought of this, but now that she's been cast it makes sense: Jeanne Tripplehorn, known mostly for her role on Big Love, will play Jackie O in HBO Films' production Grey Gardens.

Based on a 1975 documentary, the story follows Big Edie and Little Edie (played by Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore, respectively), the "aunt and cousin of Onassis who made headlines when the health department threatened to raid their flea- and raccoon-infested 28-room East Hampton, N.Y., mansion."

I am always drawn in by Tripplehorn's performances on Big Love and I'm curious to see what she does with this role. Like any movie character based on a high-profile public figure (Idi Amin, Queen Elizabeth II, etc.), it's a pretty tall order.

Fab Redux: O Jackie O!

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 16:00:22 PDT

Calling all Jackie O aficionados! Your former first lady of pill box hats, oversized sunglasses, and little skirts suits would proudly wear a silk shantung sixties A-line coat just like this one, which comes in a size medium; I doubt she would have paid $27 for hers though.

This coat is such a classic. Can you imagine how chic it would look with a little bit of hemline peeking out underneath? It would be beyond...

Fabcon: Jackie O

FabSugar — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 04:00:22 PDT

Not many people know about one of Parker Posey's best roles ever. In the film The House of Yes she plays a fabulous albeit slightly deranged girl with a dangerous obsession with Jackie Kennedy Onassis. She demands to be called Jackie O, wears sharp little suits and tops them off with pill box hats. She ends up being a lunatic, but she's fabulous along the way. No wonder she emulated the iconic first lady; Jackie O was the cat's meow.

The widow of U.S. president John F. Kennedy, Jackie O, as the tabloids dubbed her, remains an American icon of high style and grace. From the aforementioned pill box hats, to mini shift dresses, to caftans, to flats, and who can forget her biggie O sunglasses, she has forever put her stamp on style. As well, she was no doubt the most fashion forward first ladies. Not only was she buds with Valentino, Gucci named the "Jackie" bag after her which sold a record 6,000 pieces when relaunched in 1999.

Known for her elegant sophistication and her historical interest in the White House, in 1968, five years after JFK's death, she married wealthy Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis. After Onassis' death in 1975 - sad! - Jackie settled in Manhattan and began working as an editor for Doubleday, a job she continued until her death in 1994. She was buried next to Kennedy in Arlington National Cemetery. May her style, grace and strength live on.

Check Out the 2012 People's Choice Nominations Before the Show Airs Tonight!

Becky Kirsch — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 08:02:20 PST

The People's Choice Awards are tonight, so now's your chance to get a good look at who's up for the trophies. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is dominating the movie categories, especially since there was no Twilight film eligible for this year's awards (though Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson still earned nods because they appeared in other movies). Vampires are still big at the PCAs, at least for the TV categories - The Vampire Diaries and its stars are all over this list. On the subject of the small screen, the awards have brought in another distinction for television: network shows and cable series are now separated (and fan favorite Game of Thrones pops up for its first season).

You'll be able to watch the results when the show airs tonight, and remember: we are LIVE from the red carpet and backstage throughout the show! The live show starts at 5 p.m. PST/ 8 p.m. EST, and you can watch us here.

To get the full list of nominations, just keep reading.

Look of the Day: Very Violet

FabSugar — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 03:00:56 PST

There are countless ways to keep Fall fashion from "falling" flat and Fab reader AdamAlexMommy nailed a whole bunch of 'em. While you may not be able to see what she's hiding underneath that gorgeous violet-hued empire waistcoat of hers, we're completely taken with the bright impact of purple on top. Her attention to the tiny details - a cute, boxy leopard clutch, slim indigo denim jeans, and light brown suede ankle booties - add a pretty, feminine feel à la Jackie O. that we can't wait to re-create ourselves.

Congrats to AdamAlexMommy!

Everyone else, submit your looks, and we might just feature you on FabSugar!
