Celebrity Style: Camila Alves

FabSugar — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 12:00:22 PDT

Model and girlfriend of Matthew McConaughey, Camila Alves, attended the Academy of Country Music Awards in an ensemble that's fabulously futuristic. The short hemline is sexy, while the high collar gives her an avant-garde edge. The white ankle-strap sandals are the perfect choice; they feed into the crisp theme while her gold clutch reels in some shine.

Trend Alert: Sweet Corsets

FabSugar — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 09:00:22 PST

Sweet corsets are back. This flattering cut can do you no wrong with its structured corset shape and romantic appeal. I also like how the light boning reminds me of old-school lingerie. I'm swooning over this Nanette Lepore Indochine Dress ($430); the juxtaposition between the sweet style and bold print makes for a radical frock.

Mason by Michelle Mason Reverse Racer Tank: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 14:11:22 PDT

Racerbacks are usually in the back of tops, not the front. This Mason by Michelle Mason Classic Racer Detail Gray Tank ($187) is playing tricks on us by bringing the racerback detail to the front. It's cool to push the envelope, I would probably sport it if it weren't so expensive. What about you?

Celebrity Style: Nicole Richie

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 13:00:22 PDT

Nicole was out and about this weekend in a laid-back but, of course, stylish outfit. It's always all about the accessories with this girl, and this is no exception. She added a harder edge to her taupe Mason ruched tank and favorite skinny jeans with some rather fierce Givenchy peep toe heels and her trusty Balenciaga bag. This is a look the average Betty can easily put together herself, minus the big designer names - you know what I mean. We all have a pair of fierce heels in our closets and with Nicole as inspiration for how to wear them during the day, I just might break mine out.

The Perfect Party Dress

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Aug 2006 15:48:21 PDT

This Mason by Michelle Mason Knot Dress, which Madonna rocked for her appearance on TRL, may just be the world's most fabulous party dress. With a deep V in the front and a diamond-shaped cut-out in the back, it's flirty, sassy, and dead sexy. Better yet, the stretchy rayon blend is so comfortable, you'll feel like you're wearing a t-shirt. It's also very versatile. Here, Kate Walsh wears it ladylike with summer wedges, while a Fabsugar editor shows off a sexy nighttime look:

The dress is available for $275 here in a variety of colors. To see a similar but amazingly affordable version of the dress,

Here's the best part: If you don't feeling like paying $275 for the look, Victoria's Secret has just come out with a similar style with the same front knot, cut-out back, and asymmetrical hem. Buy it here for just $65.

Pair it with some Fangol Florals or Silicone Gel Petals to feel comfortable and carefree. To prevent visible panty lines, wear a pair of Spanx.

Announcing the 2012 Critics' Choice Nominations

Becky Kirsch — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 10:05:11 PST

Award season is officially around the corner, which means the nominations are coming in droves now. The Critics' Choice nominees feature some of the same contenders we've been expecting, like The Descendants and The Artist, but also has a few surprises. Namely, Martin Scorsese's Hugo has emerged as a force to be reckoned with, leading the pack with 11 nods.

Brad Pitt's got not one but two movies up for best picture, with Moneyball and The Tree of Life, not to mention a best actor nod for himself. The Help also cleaned up with eight nominations. On a personal note, we're excited to see some of our favorite 2012 comedies getting some recognition, like The Muppets, Horrible Bosses, and of course, Bridesmaids.
