Who Wore It Better? Chloe Crystal Cap Sleeve Mini Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 15:00:22 -0800

It boggles my mind when one girl spends an exorbitant amount of money on a ho-um dress. Then, two girls wear the aforementioned dress and it just makes me throw my hands up in the air and pray to the fashion gods. Such is the case with this Chloe crystal mini dress. It looks like a volcano exploded and dispersed blobs of crystals all around, expensive crystals. It's not my taste, but obviously Hilary Duff's and model Jacquetta Wheeler's. Who do you think wore it better?

FABTV: Michael Jackson (Naomi Cameo) "In the Closet"

FabSugar — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 02:13:22 -0700

My Michael Jackson tribute continues with a long, yet thoroughly entertaining, video consisting of MJ, Naomi, sepia tones, and lots of gyrating. Don't get me wrong - Naomi is pretty smokin', but her hips really help tell this story. Also, don't her little white cap sleeve crop top and white skirt look very Alaia? As one of the model diva's known favorites, it's very possible. My favorite MJ dance sequence is at 3:53 - The Sprinkler! - pretty sure Michael created that move. It's worth studying this video to see Michael and Naomi's synchronized pelvic thrust, too. Don't say I didn't warn you . . .

Celebrity Stylist Britt Bardo Turns Designer

FabSugar — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 04:50:22 -0700

This is how good celebrity stylist Britt Bardo (pictured at right) is: when she was just a stylist assistant, Jennifer Lopez asked her to stop assisting to be her personal stylist. It appears that Avon has also caught on to her talents.

After loving the work she did for Avon's Mark catalog, the company asked her to design a collection for them. "Watching Britt from afar, I’ve been so impressed with her aesthetic and ability to take pieces and put them together in a fresh, modern way,” said Claudia Poccia, global president of Mark. Britt Bardo Collection by Mark consists of three essential pieces: a longer-length fitted T-shirt with open neck and cap sleeves ($24), a long sweater that comes with extra long cuffs ($28), and a polyester and spandex slipdress with adjustable straps ($26). The collection will be available at meetmark.com in October. I'm there!

2009 Cannes Film Festival: Elizabeth Banks

FabSugar — Thu, 14 May 2009 13:30:22 -0700

Holy glamour puss. Check out Elizabeth Banks in head-to-toe beaded Andrew Gn. She's truly outrageous. The Cannes Film Festival just began and she's already on my best dressed list. The cap sleeves and sweetheart neck are old-school gorgeous and the subtle train is divine. And the black and blue hues are mysterious. Her cat-like eye makeup and sexy curls are also worth mentioning. She could have ditched the thick black cuffs though a simple black satin Swarovski clutch is perfection. Are you as bedazzled as I am?

Red carpet, red gown - how fitting. Claire Danes showed up in a red Nina Ricci gown with a deep V bodice and sheer cap sleeves. The asymmetrical detail keeps it from being just another red dress. Jeweler Fred Leighton dipped the actress in a gold bracelet and earrings. Are you digging this lady in red?

2008 Emmy Awards Trend Alert: Neutral Territory

FabSugar — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:30:22 -0700

If you do it right, beige can be bold. Take note from the ladies who attended the Emmys in their elegant neutrals. Look at Olivia Wilde: her romantic silk chiffon Reem Acra gown is far from blah. Neutral colors range far and wide in the color palette so find a hue that complements your skin tone. It makes for a great backdrop against dramatic jewels or embellished details a la Wilde's beaded cap sleeves. Check which leading ladies walked in neutral territory . . .
