Back to Cool: A Different World

FabSugar — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 03:50:22 -0700

The plot description for A Different World is, "A group of students at a historically Black university struggle to make it through college." Woah, heavy. But the tagline is, "Big laughs on campus." That's more like it. Maybe I was too young to pick up on the struggles, I just remember a group of young'uns making college look like a cool place comprised of interesting characters and funky wardrobes. I mean Dwayne Wayne's flip-up glasses? I totally forgot Marisa Tomei was on the show - I was too mesmerized by Lisa Bonet's great looks. It might have had after-school-special lessons, but it had mad style. It's a different world, from where you come from!

Celebrity Style: Marisa Tomei

FabSugar — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Marisa Tomei was snapped looking incredibly chic on her way to dinner at STK restaurant in LA. Her red trench - collar slightly popped - textured black pants, and peep-toe black patent booties are perfect together. The gunmetal clutch tucked under her arm and gold necklace provide shine without stealing the show. But really, Marisa's look is a testament to how a trench, especially in a bold color, can instantly jazz up any look. Now we know the actress's thoughts on red.

Which Marisa Tomei Oscars Look Is More Fab?

FabSugar — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 13:30:22 -0800

You all know Marisa stunned me in her icy gray Versace on the Oscars red carpet. Way to work it. But I have to say her Juan Carlos Obando colorblock dress at the Vanity Fair afterparty was also stunning, in a sizzling way. The black, turquoise, and camel color combo is awesome, and the slinky cut is super hot. I can't decide - which is more Fab?!

Who Wore It Better? Alexander Wang White Jersey Goddess Dress

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 05:00:22 -0800

It's Marisa Tomei versus Lindsay Lohan for the Alexander Wang crown. Marisa wore the designer's white jersey goddess dress to the Children Mending Hearts Gala in LA and opted to cover it up with a slightly longer black blazer. Black and white peep-toe pumps, a black clutch, and shiny diamond earrings add flair. Lindsay Lohan, on the other hand, let her dress speak for itself at an Oscars afterparty. She accessorized with a pendant necklace, a bracelet, and peep-toe wedges. Marisa's version is polished while Lindsay's is more disheveled chic. Who's style do you prefer?

Fab's Oscar Top Three

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 16:00:22 -0800

What I enjoyed about this year's Oscars was the chance for some red carpet newbies to shine.

Though I was super disappointed red carpet superstars Cate, Reese, and Nicole were either absent or didn't walk the red carpet, it was nice seeing new enthusiastic faces. Especially Benjamin Button nominee Taraji Henson. Every time the camera chose her, she was smiling and bright. Her buttercream Roberto Cavalli confection was absolutely delectable, I wanted to eat it up. The tiered cascading gown also had the perfect size fishtail, not too overwhelming, but still dramatic. I'm sure you also noticed her vintage necklace - 19th-century Fred Leighton. She gave a nod to the red carpet (and added a punch of color) with her burgundy silk Mary Norton clutch.

To see my other two favorites, read more.

I didn't realize how much I missed Natalie on the red carpet until last night when she floated by in her orchid pink Rodarte. I started to get bored with all the neutral hued gowns, so Natalie held my attention. The asymmetrical ruched bodice and Swarovski crystal detailing are sweet, subtle touches. She wore simple Kwiat vintage diamonds - vintage studs, a large deco cuff, and stackable rings - all the better to let her lovely hued dress and gorgeous face shine. Her vampy nails added some spice to her sweet ensemble.

Both of the ladies from The Wrestler looked stellar last night; Evan Rachel Wood and Tomei both made our Best Dressed poll. Marisa's dove gray Versace got better and better by the minute. And did I mention she worked it? She had one of the most precise trains and she vogued like crazy; Tomei's got the red carpet thing down. The spirals and folds on the skirt fanned out to create such an awesome effect. Her totally toned arms wore a cool Van Cleef & Arpels diamond and sapphire bracelet while she also showed off a diamond ring and lapis lazuli and diamond earrings.

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.

Trend Alert: Feathery Friends

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 08:00:22 -0800

It's all about texture, and more texture. Meet my new feathery friends. The hybrid of feather and fluff makes for a fun vintage look. Check out how Kate rocked an extra voluminous bronze Burberry frock, while Nicole Kidman radiated in a white shaggy mini by L'Wren Scott at the Australia premiere. If you're not keen on wearing this look head-to-toe, try separates like Tomei in her Alberta Ferretti skirt. Take the plumage and shake a tail feather.
