Fab Ad: Katie Holmes, Miu Miu Spring '09

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 10:00:22 -0800

The model's been prepped and the photo's been snapped - meet the face of Miu Miu Spring '09: Katie Holmes. This pairing came as a bit of a surprise to us, and we can now properly judge.

Katie's strong bone structure always photographs well and the sepia tone of the ad delivers a cool, vintage feel. Shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, the ads were inspired by Italian director Fellini, and hoped Katie would appear to be a "luminous icon radiating a sense of mystery and theatricality." What do you think? Would you call this luminous?

Fab Body Guide: Elongate Yourself

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 15:00:08 -0800

You've all heard that black makes you look slimmer and taller. While that's true, it's not the only trick in the book. There are a dozen other ways to elongate yourself without having to look goth. Take a look at the real-life examples below. For The Spirit LA premiere, Eva Mendes chose a Bill Blass maxi that, because it grazed the carpet, made her appear taller. Vertical stripes, as shown in the center editorial, and long cardigans, like on Katie Holmes, can also do the trick. Proceed for more tips.

Maxi Dresses: Like in Eva's case, maxi dresses give the illusion of tallness because they provide one straight line from top to bottom, without any interruptions.
Long Cardigans: It's a misconception that everything long makes you look tall. But a long cardigan, past your waist, is one casual way to do it. The darker the color the better.
Long, Wide-Leg Trousers: Be sure to find a style that grazes the floor, and preferably covers your shoes. They're never to be worn with flats, only high heels!
Platforms: It's no secret that platform shoes can literally add inches to your height. For a more subtle approach, choose a shoe with a hidden platform.
Vertical Stripes: Unlike horizontal stripes, which cut you off, vertical stripes keep going and going.

Trench Coats: A thigh-length trench coat is a slick, sophisticated way to appear tall, especially when worn with over-the-knee boots. Avoid anything longer than the knee, please.
Over-the-Knee Boots: Speaking of over-the-knee boots, ones with high heels will give you an extra boost. Just be sure to wear them with demure clothing; you don't want to look sketchy.
Dark Colors: Black, dark brown, navy, dark gray - these moody hues and others like them are right for looking slim and tall.
Long, Skinny Scarves: Throw on an extra long, extra skinny scarf to take the focus away from your outfit.
Turtlenecks: These give the illusion of a long neck, so they're perfect for those who have a short one.
High-Waist Styles: Whether its skirts, shorts, or pants, if you have a flat tummy, high-waisted styles can make your torso appear inches longer.
Opera Gloves: Unlike cropped gloves, opera styles go past your elbow and make your arms appear super slender.

Trend Alert: Extra-Long Scarves

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 07:00:08 -0800

Scarves are a no-brainer when it comes to dressing for the Winter chill, but dig deeper. I'm specifically talking about extra-lovely, extra-long scarves. For maximum impact, these lengthy neck warmers should be long enough to grace your knees. This craze kills two birds with one stone: they're functional and make for a fun statement piece. Check out how Katie Holmes, seen left, smartly contrasted her gray and black ensemble with an extra-long snow white scarf. I like.

Trend Alert: Singing the Blues

FabSugar — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 10:00:08 -0800

Start singing the blues. Blue dresses are a cooler alternative to the classic LBD and make for a sizzling statement piece. There are a ton of hues to choose from; pick the tone that flatters you best. Katie opted for a casual look by pairing her berry blue tunic dress with leggings and flats; Marisa Tomei got glam in her silky frock; and Heather Graham paired her boho-chic dress with knee-high boots. All bodacious, all blue.

Katie Holmes ditched her baggy jeans for a slimmer pair while heading out the door of her NYC apartment. The light wash lends a nice contrast against her black top, pumps, and patent Roger Vivier bag. Considering we've been seeing a slew of black blazers lately, the actress's ivory one is a welcome change. To finish off the look, she tied a black-and-white dot scarf around her head and threw on dark shades. BlackBerry, coffee, and whopping diamond ring are optional.
