Penelope, Brad, and Michelle O Make Vanity Fair's International Best-Dressed List

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 10:12:52 -0700

Vanity Fair's 2009 International Best-Dressed list has been released, and it includes actors, models, designers, politicians, royalty, and socialites. The ones who made the cut need not have one particular fashion forte - they only need perennial style. Representing Hollywood are red-carpet queens Penelope Cruz, Anne Hathaway, Reneé Zellweger, Kelly Ripa, and Alicia Keys. Angelina Jolie didn't make the list but her man Brad Pitt did. And rightfully so! Our favorite Power Couple Natalia Vodianova and her hubby Justin Portman made it on as a couple, while Rachel Roy and Tory Burch got on solo.

See some others who made the list.

Can You Tell the Difference Between Real and Faux Fur?

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 11:00:22 -0800

I can. But, according to sources, Kate Winslet, an anti-fur advocate, didn't feel the difference when posing au naturel for Vanity Fair. Pre-photo shoot, the magazine told Winslet the blanket was faux. In reality she was posing on a $14,677 silver fox Frette fur throw. Vanity Fair has apologized to the actress for the major mix-up. But we're wondering: Would you be able to tell the difference between real and faux?

White House | Black Market Gets Michelle O Boost

FabSugar — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 15:00:22 -0700

It seems anything Michelle Obama touches these days turns to gold. White House | Black Market is no exception. The clothing store, which gained major popularity last year when the first lady wore one of its $148 print dresses on The View, is one of the few companies increasing its ad spending this Fall. No word on the exact budget, but we do know that its ads, featuring model Siri Tollerød (left), will run in September issues of InStyle, Vogue, Elle, Lucky, Vanity Fair, and Harper’s Bazaar. They will also appear on NYC buses, bus shelters, and a billboard near the brand’s Flatiron location. What's more, the brand may expand its retail presence in Manhattan. Good luck!

2009 Cannes Film Festival: Tilda Swinton

FabSugar — Wed, 13 May 2009 15:00:22 -0700

Wahoo - the 2009 Cannes Film Festival has begun! It was just reported the lavish festival will be toned down this year - Vanity Fair dismissed its black-tie annual and Louis Vuitton didn't book its usual table at the amfAR dinner - but we can still expect fashion on the red carpet from the likes of Diane Kruger, Penelope Cruz, and the enigmatic Tilda Swinton.

Tilda is up first for your judging pleasure. Her monochrome bordeaux layered Haider Ackermann ensemble may also be toned down, but it sure is flattering. Doesn't she look so tall and statuesque? And the mix of materials is lovely.

This is just the amuse-bouche. Look forward to fetes hosted by Dolce & Gabbana and Dsquared2, guaranteed to provide controversial fashion fare.

Fab Read: Fashion Victims, The Catty Catalogue of Stylish Casualties, From A to Z

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 01:00:22 -0700

"She's a disaster! Can't walk at all. Make her go faster! Not very tall." That's fashion and style director of Vanity Fair Michael Roberts taking a jab at the catwalks. If you want to hear more cheeky poetry about the fashion industry, pick up Roberts's book Fashion Victims: The Catty Catalogue of Stylish Casualties ($22). It's a quick, fun read, dedicated to avant-garde darling Isabella Blow. From designers to auctions, trends to fur, heels to editors, the author has something witty to rhyme for all things style-related. It's nice to know he doesn't take himself, or his job, too seriously!
