Trend Alert: The Suede Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 12:00:22 PST

Spotted: Victoria and little Cruz showing off their holiday spirit in LA. While the wee one rocked a festive Santa hat - Lil can break his outfit down to you - Victoria kept it posh in a hunter green suede dress. Though hard to come by, these sumptuous frocks are well worth the search. Word to the wise: Vintage shops are a cheap alternative to paying exuberant retail prices. I found my vintage suede Yves Saint Laurent dress at a local consignment store for only $30 dollars - score!

Scarlett Johansson Gets a Sweet Kiss and Her Own Star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame

Katie Henry — Wed, 02 May 2012 15:45:59 PDT

Scarlett Johansson, dressed in a black and white Preen ensemble and red suede Louboutin pumps, waved to fans before taking the podium at today's Hollywood Walk of Fame induction ceremony. Scarlett was greeted on stage by her Avengers costar Jeremy Renner, who introduced her to the crowd and planted a congratulatory kiss on her cheek. Friends and family also came out to support Scarlett including her mom, Melanie Sloan, grandmother Dorothy Sloan, and younger sister, Fenan.

Scarlett and Jeremy team up on the big screen in the superhero flick, due out Friday, and they've been side by side during their international press tour. The pair sat down with us recently and talked about their mysterious backstories and the surprising humor in the Avengers script. Jeremy's not the only guy often spotted with Scarlett, as she's still seeing NYC-based creative director Nate Naylor, who was sitting in the front row during today's event. Both Scarlett and her boyfriend call Manhattan home and the actress's love of the city where she was born and raised also inspired her new "I [heart] NY" bracelet tattoo.

Kate Middleton Shows Off Two Brilliant Peplum Looks - See Every Fashion Angle

Chi Diem Chau — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 08:34:32 PDT

Just days before celebrating her wedding anniversary to Prince William, Kate Middleton showed off her fashion savvy in Spring's hottest trend, wearing not one, but two brilliant peplum looks. Yesterday, Kate wore a dove gray peplum dress adorned with gorgeous beading embellishments by Matthew Williamson, paired with dark green suede pumps and a matching clutch at the UK premiere of African Cats. Kate then switched out of her fancy dress for a prim two-piece tweed suit by Rebecca Taylor for a royal reception at the Goldsmiths Hall in London honoring the Scott-Amundsen Centenary Race to the South Pole. We love how anyone can wear this look just as easily to the office. Meanwhile, blue suede pumps and an Anya Hindmarch snake skin clutch finish off her ensemble. Just click through to see more close-up shots from both of her peplum-fied looks and tell us which is your favorite in the comments section below.

Look of the Day: Refined Denim

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 03:00:02 PDT

Fab reader Brunetteblogging dressed up a denim button-up with cool-girl accessories and a dash of neon. First, she paired the casual topper with a mauve skirt, then added a wide-brimmed hat, white handbag, textured tights, and black suede booties into the mix. While these pieces amp up the chic factor on an everyday denim essential, we love that she polished the outfit off on a totally colorful note via her neon-infused necklace.

Congrats Brunetteblogging!

Finish with the collection's strappy suede flats and we may just have landed on our new seasonal uniform.

Brittney Stephens — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 17:49:41 PDT

Kristen Stewart offset the Kids' Choice Awards' bright orange carpet in a gorgeous blue lace minidress from Stella McCartney's Evening 2012 collection. The actress, who is nominated for favorite movie actress for her role in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1, finished the look with a matching blue satin belt and suede Barbara Bui pumps. Kristen definitely knows her way around a minidress, and this one looked especially pretty and feminine on her - she smartly kept the attention on the intricate lace detail by putting her hair in a sleek ponytail and sticking to thin, minimal stacked rings. Let's just hope this stunning dress doesn't get doused in slime tonight! Click through to see her bold blue look from all angles now.

Fab reader Adoretoadorn proves that sometimes, all a dreary day needs is a bold pop of color. She put together a look that could work equally well for day or night - a silky, knee-length dress in a pretty cobalt blue shade, layered with black tights and suede ankle booties. For a fun finish, she added an onyx statement necklace and crystal collar, a stack of bangles, and a structured handbag.

Congrats Adoretoadorn!

Katie Henry — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 10:47:30 PDT

Nicole Richie arrived in Miami yesterday and did a quick change before posing for photos at her Ocean Drive party held at South Beach's Shelborne hotel. She's gracing the cover of the magazine's March digital issue and chatted with the publication about the evolution of her career. The Fashion Star judge stepped out in a sexy, nude mini dress, suede Louboutin stilettos, and accessorized the look with a House of Harlow clutch.

Nicole's eye for hot trends and emerging labels landed her a spot on the judging panel along with fellow designers, John Varvatos, and Jessica Simpson. The trio had their work cut out for them during last night's episode when the group of contestants sent a new flock of designs down the runway vying for the opportunity to have their pieces sold at Macy's, H&M, and Saks Fifth Avenue.
