Fab Ad: Vanessa Paradis for Miu Miu Autumn/Winter 2008

FabSugar — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 08:00:22 -0700

Remember how Miuccia Prada chose to replace Kirsten Dunst with French songstress Vanessa Paradis for their Miu Miu Autumn/Winter 2008 campaign? I'm not so sure I'm excited anymore . . .

Photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, the ad depicts Paradis posing somewhat awkwardly wearing a scuba-esque top. I love her makeup but I'm not too impressed with the boring bridge in the background and her lack of expression. This is one of many to come but so far I prefer Kirsten's kitschy Spring campaign to Vanessa's. Do you think Johnny's better half worked it for the camera?

Fab Flash: Miu Miu Says Goodbye to Kirsten, Bonjour Vanessa

FabSugar — Wed, 14 May 2008 10:00:22 -0700

Like we've been preaching for a while now - the French are coming! It's not just us who are intrigued by the je ne sais quoi of the French lassies taking over film and fashion. There's ingenue Clémence Poésy, Oscar-nominee Marion Cotillard, Chanel spokeswoman Audrey Tautou, and now the new face of Miu Miu, and second half of a power couple with Johnny Depp, Vanessa Paradis. This former model and musician definitely knows how to work it for the camera as she's a seasoned muse. Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott will be behind the lens yet again. And like that, Kirsten Dunst is no longer a Miu Miu muse . . .

In more Miu Miu news, the little sister of Prada will open a second store in Los Angeles on Rodeo. Double the news, double the fun.

Power Couple: Johnny Depp & Vanessa Paradis

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 10:00:22 -0700

Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis - they're delicious as a pairing of salt and caramel. So they're not trendy, but they've been together longer than most of our other power couples; 10 years to be exact. It helps that the duo stays out of the spotlight splitting their time between LA and the South of France.

On his own, Johnny is a style icon, known for his eclectic fashion choices. Now, add to that an amazingly gorgeous and equally quirky French singer and actress, and it's double the fabulousness.

Since hooking up in 1998, one thing has always remained: without fail, they each dress to please no one but themselves. And while most couples' styles and personalities complement one another, it's almost like Vanessa is a girl version of Johnny in every way . . . talk about finding your soul mate!

Trend Alert: Rockin' and Rollin'

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 06:00:22 -0700

Maybe Angelina was onto something when she whipped out her Versace black leather pants in November. Though I've always felt no one wears leather pants better than Slash from Guns n' Roses, these ladies are rockin' and rollin'. One thing is for sure: You have to be confident to pull off leathery, liquidy pants. Vanessa Paradis (left) is married to Johnny Depp so enough said, Ashley Olsen is Ashley Olsen so she's happy as a clam, and Portia de Rossi is partners with the funny and lovely Ellen DeGeneres. Go on confident girls (all of you!) and slip into something a bit more uncomfortable.

Modern Slim Leather Pant - $399.00	Shiny High-Waist Legging - $49.00
Gold Sign - Misfit Leather Jean (Black) - $791.00	Notify Iberide Jean - $271.00
Kova & T Black Latex Leggings - $113.00	7 For All Mankind Ginger Treated Jean - $179.00
Shape fx® Leather Control Pants - $99.00	Goldsign Leather Low-Rise Pants - $790.00

Oscars Trend: Film Noir

FabSugar — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 21:08:17 -0800

Wasn't I just praising jet hued gowns of Oscars past? Call it red carpet ESP, or a mere coincidence, but many ladies dared to go bold in noir colored gowns at this year's Oscars. Some of them I love - Penelope's feathery Chanel and Swank's embellished Versace - and some fell flat for me, mainly, Garner's ruffled Oscar de la Renta. Alas, these all have something in common: they're black, but far from boring.

Fab Flash: Katie Holmes Is a Miu Miu Model

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 11:00:08 -0800

The swirling rumors are confirmed: Miu Miu has chosen Katie Holmes to be the face of its Spring campaign. Details are still under wraps but we do know that the ads were shot last week - hence the smokey eye makeup residue caught on Holmes face seen left. With Miu Miu's past history of choosing celebrities such as Lindsay Lohan, Kirsten Dunst, and Vanessa Paradis, does this come as a surprise to you?
