On Our Radar: Gwyneth Paltrow Leads the Fight For the Cure

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

Gwyneth Paltrow has been named the 2008 ambassador for the Key to the Cure campaign with Saks Fifth Avenue. Paltrow will be the sixth Oscar-winning actress to become the ambassador to the program, which has raised over $28 million for cancer institutions.

The actress, who lost her father from the disease in 2002, stated, “If there is anything I can do to help raise money, especially with a charity like this, I will. I read about the charity and how aggressively they are trying to find a cure, not only for women’s cancers but also for other cancers. They target a lot of different areas out there. They support people who are coming up with innovative ideas to cure cancer. It’s an issue that touched me in a lot of ways.”

Karl Lagerfeld has created this year's T-shirt to benefit the campaign. The $40 tee features two arrows crossing on its front with a heart, and illustration of the designer himself on the back. Items will be available Oct. 16-19 at Saks stores, Off 5th Stores, and Saks.com.

I loved Gwyneth's pink Ralph Lauren princess dress at the 1999 Academy Awards and I'm still loving the color on her almost ten years later. She donned a hot pink vintage Christian Dior haute couture dress for a party thrown by the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and looked nothing short of stunning. The color is a refreshing bright choice for the normally neutral-clad Gwyneth, and the black accessories really make it pop. And isn't she looking more and more like her gorgeous mother Blythe Danner?

Splendid Modal Tube Dress - $133.00	CHRISTIAN DIOR Belt - $180.00
Barneys New York Satin Clutch - $295.00	Stuart Weitzman 'Daniella' Satin Sandal - $285.00
10K.5CTTW Dmd Chndlier Ear WG - $299.20	Sparkling Sage, New filigree cuff - $118.00

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 10:00:22 -0700

Looking at this Mackage Hope Wool Blend Coat ($695), you would never guess it benefits breast cancer. That's because it doesn't have pink plastered all over it. But in fact, the inner white lining shows the Breast Cancer Research Foundation pink ribbon.

Mackage cofounder Elisa Dahan lost her mother to breast cancer at a young age, and is now paying tribute to mom and all breast cancer patients. $100 of your purchase will be donated to the BCRF. You'll not only have a gorgeous Fall coat, but a happy conscience.
