Fab Flash: PETA Names Worst-Dressed Celebrities of 2008

FabSugar — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 11:00:22 -0800

PETA announced today that Aretha Franklin is "queen" of their annual worst-dressed list.

The online poll, which scolds those who "drape themselves" in fur, leather, and exotic skins, also named Lindsay Lohan, Eva Longoria, Kate Moss, Kylie Minogue, and Marilyn Manson as top offenders.

Here's what PETA had to say about Aretha and the runners-up - do you agree?

Aretha Franklin: How 'bout some R-E-S-P-E-C-T for animals? Aretha, when you waddled into the Grammys in yet another vulgar fur, you looked as if you were going to perform "I Am the Walrus" by the Beatles. You might be a queen, but you don't know jack about compassion.
Marilyn Manson: Always draped in leather from head to toe, Manson has enough skeletons in his closet to fill a pet cemetery. As if wearing dead animals isn't foul enough, Manson says that he wears his cow-skin pants 24/7- only peeling the smelly things off to have sex. That alone should be enough to tarnish leather's dated sex appeal. Manson might only be the shock rocker's stage name, but his wardrobe is a real-life tale of blood and guts.

Eva Longoria: Eva Longoria is short on compassion. In her trashy furs, she looks like the streetwalker of Wisteria Lane. Eva is one "desperate housewife" in need of a quickie divorce - from her stylist.
Lindsay Lohan: I Know Who Killed Me isn't just the title of Lindsay Lohan's latest bomb, it's the cry of the animals snuffed out so that this "mean girl" can pose in their pelts. Lindsay, there's no road to recovery for the foxes who are anally electrocuted so that you can look skanky.
Kate Moss: Nothing completes the transition from supermodel to super tramp like a fur coat. If Kate could see clearly through those bleary eyes, maybe she’d clear her closet of those furs.
Kylie Minogue: What does Kylie Minogue have in common with her python purse? They are both cold blooded. Come on Kylie, it's not cool to clutch an accessory made by nailing snakes to a tree and skinning them alive.

The recent onslaught of back-to-back award shows challenged celebrities to flaunt their red carpet style, and while some failed, others prevailed. Take, for instance, Evan Rachel Wood. This actress is now a certified red carpet star. The Wrestler actress, and yes, Marilyn Manson's ex, has constantly upped her fashion game and we've taken notice. From decadent tiered frocks to sumptuous silk gowns, Wood amazed us with her exquisite taste and statuesque posing. Check out our slideshow to see all of her amazing red carpet looks!

Back to Cool: Jawbreaker

FabSugar — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Learn it, love it, live it. The volcanic cast of Jawbreaker: Rose McGowan, the fearless leader; Rebecca Gayheart, the beauty with soul; Julie Benz (now of Dexter fame) as Foxy, the frivolous follower; and Judy Greer, the made-over diva Vylette. Throw in Marilyn Manson and Pam Grier, and it's fun for the whole Fab family.

Circa 1999, these ladies ruled the hallways in skin-tight, candy-colored cardigans, pencil skirts, capri pants, hoop earrings, midriff exposure, and attitude-inducing outfits. They are as hot, powerful, and wicked as school girls get. As the tagline goes, "The sweetest candies are sour as death inside" - we could all use a little Jawbreaker sticky sweet style in our back to cool wardrobe.

Freaky or Fabulous? Dita Von Teese's Purple Vivienne Westwood Wedding Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 05:00:22 -0700

Sadly (or perhaps not so sadly), the marriage between burlesque bombshell Dita Von Teese and Marilyn Manson ended, but the photos of her fabulous wedding gown have remained. Phew! Though I probably wouldn't dare to wear such an over-the-top Vivienne Westwood gown for my big day, everything about it matches Dita's unique style. It's certainly not white, has more taffeta than one person can handle, and to call it poofy would be an understatement. Still, it's fabulous beyond belief. What's your verdict - freaky or fabulous?

Exclusive Fab Interview with Angelina Jolie's Stylist Jennifer Rade

FabSugar — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Longtime stylist Jennifer Rade calls herself the Wicked Witch of Wardrobe, and I'll add to that the busiest stylist working today. I had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer a few years back at a Gap Bra Bar event for which she was the spokesperson. I recall the sassy stylist referring to Angelina Jolie, whom she works with closely, simply as Angie. In addition, she's styled music videos (Avril Lavigne, Marilyn Manson, Pink) and commercials, the most recent one being the Jovovich-Hawk for Target one. Jen took a few minutes out of her hectic day to chat with Fab about Angie, her style icons, and what every girl should carry in their purse.

What are your three favorite Angelina Jolie outfits that you've styled?

I think Oscars from 2004 (the cream Marc Bouwer), Mr. & Mrs. Smith premiere (the leather Versace), and Ocean's 13 premiere in Cannes (yellow Peter Dundas for Ungaro).

If your house was burning down and you only had time to save one clothing item, what would it be and why?

Tough question. I would probably try to grab my great grandmother's purses since they've been around so long. Really, I would save nothing other than myself, my husband, and our dogs, because clothing is replaceable.

What should every girl have in their purse in case of a fashion emergency?

Double sided fashion tape or toupee tape, like Hollywood Fashion Tape, Topstick, or Bug Catcherz. It's like the duct tape of the fashion world!

As a stylist, do you feel the pressure of always dressing uniquely?

No. I dress in a casual and classic style. Cool flats (I am obsessed with Elisa Ferare!) with great jeans (J Brand skinny, Paige boot cut, Ranahan Wide Leg) and a simple top. Maybe a cool accessory like a vintage necklace or a few stacking rings from Tiffany or Gurhan or J. Herwitt.

Who are your style icons and what do you admire so much about them?

Wow, this is so hard. Katharine Hepburn, a pioneer and so classic and timeless. Talitha Getty, just cool and bohemian. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen: I love that they do their own thing and take chances. Kate Moss because she wears clothes, they never wear her. Princess Diana, Catherine Deneuve, Diane Von Furstenberg, Sophia Loren . . . it's kind of an endless list.

Can you take me behind the scenes of the Target commercials?

I recently styled the new Jovovich-Hawk for Target commercial and it was so fun! Carmen and Milla are so funny and the clothes are awesome! I love working with Target, great company, great ad agency, and we always have a great time working together.
