Celeb Style: Jessica Szohr

Jessica Szohr usually isn't one to dress to the nines, but when she does, she blows us away. The sultry hottie attended the Piranha 3D premiere in LA wearing a red Notte by Marchesa dress. The tiered pleats and bow inject flirty highlights, while metallic gold pumps by Aldo and a matching Lauren Merkin clutch hone in old Hollywood glamour. Don't get us wrong, we love her casual, but dressed up Jess is much more exciting!

Trend Alert: Floral and Lace

FabSugar — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 07:50:07 PDT

Florals and lace are nothing new, but mashed together, it's a cool '90s-inspired concept. Emma Watson exemplifies this very notion wearing a floral and lace confection by Christopher Kane at a party in NYC. We love the juxtaposition between sexy and sweet. Make it more modern with streamlined cuts - a la Watson - or go totally boho in loose and flirty silhouettes.

Trend Alert: White Out

FabSugar — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 07:00:22 PDT

You knew this was coming: Warmer weather calls for white! Also, a crisp white item of clothing works wonders for a hangover - oops, did I just say that? But seriously, whether it's to refresh your day, show off your tan or for the hell of it, white definitely has its place in fashion. Upon revitalizing my closet, I realized I have tons of white blouses - and I wear them all. White dresses, on the other hand, not so many. Penelope is leading the white out in her MNG Mango dress, will you follow?

Trend Alert: Textural Black and White

FabSugar — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 09:00:22 PDT

Black and white has had so many incarnations in the past year. It's definitely evolved and it's still relevant - only today, it's textural black and white. Beading, ruching, sheer fabrics, feathers and all of the above, make for a black and white cocktail perfect for a cocktail party. Madonna knows it, and now you do.

Celebrity Style: Jennifer Lopez

FabSugar — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 12:00:11 PST

It's been ages since I featured Jennifer Lopez on Celebrity Style. That's probably because she's been in pregnancy hibernation. The stunning singer stepped out for Marchesa's Fall '08 show in a Notte by Marchesa trapeze dress. It's not a pregnancy dress but Jennifer rocks it out despite her full-blown belly. What I love most about her look is how instead of pairing girlie heels with her feminine dress, she opted for something a little rough and tough to create a fashion contradiction. Brilliant!

Trend Alert: Brocade Babe

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 08:00:22 PST

Not to be confused with granny's boudoir, the items pictured here are for a brocade babe. What's old is new again, and brocade always feels right in the dead of Winter. With a slight sheen and 60's vibe, slip on your patent booties, opaque black tights and costume jewelry for a glitzy night in brocade. Or, mix with dark denim for an upscale casual look. Either way you win.

Trend Alert: Black & Gold

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 08:00:22 PST

Black & gold. A sophisticated, yet flashy, combination. While many of these strike me as night-time attire, in the words of my mom: "Why wait to wear them?" She's actually referring to bold jewelry but I think this mantra can be applied across the board. Life is too short to reserve those daring fashion items for special occasions. A good place to start is with some black & gold. Be bold, be sophisticated, be flashy!
