Trend Alert: The Demure LBD

Hannah Weil — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 07:00:04 PST

Catch a glimpse of Zoe Saldana, and it's not hard to see why we're loving the demure LBD. The look is totally in tune with the ladylike craze but with a sexier body-con fit. The longer hemline leaves a little more to the imagination, while a sleek silhouette hugs in all the right places. It's a demure alternative but hardly a diminutive style statement.

Carine Roitfeld's New Favorite LBD of the Moment - Balmain!

FabSugar — Fri, 28 May 2010 04:00:06 PDT

It's no biggie when you and I repeat an outfit head to toe. But when the editor of Vogue Paris Carine Roitfeld does it, it's worth mentioning. It's by no means a fashion crime - remember when Victoria Beckham re-outfitted her favorite gray look in '07? - in fact, it's quite refreshing. She's found an ensemble she adores and she's sticking with it! The first time Carine wore her favorite Balmain Fall '10 LBD was at the Cannes Film Festival last week. And then she wore it again, in the same exact way with Alaia lace-up sandals and a gold necklace, at Louis Vuitton's London store opening this week. She has inspired me to take an outfit I love each season, and make it my signature. Has she inspired you, too?

Celeb Style: Mila Kunis

FabSugar — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 11:00:22 PST

Mila Kunis's smile can light up a room. The actress did just that at the Writers Guild Awards over the weekend. Unlike her smile, she opted to keep her style dim in a LBD. This isn't any old black dress; the large keyhole makes it super sexy, while the modest hemline keeps her classy. Black pumps and a black clutch complete her clean but fabulous all-black ensemble.

LBDs are great, but it's those surrounding accessories that really bring it to life. Case in point: retail_ therapy. Talk about LBD with a punch! Up top it's basic chic, but down under is where the party's at. Those hot pink pumps sass up her entire look.
