The Fab Faces of Spring '10

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 04:00:22 -0800

With Spring ready-to-wear in the bag, designers are conjuring up their Spring ad campaigns, placing the hottest of the hot with the most stylish shutterbugs. Thus far, we know Lara Stone will star in Louis Vuitton's ads, while Daisy Lowe will shine for its swimwear line. In Versace land, Donatella has chosen Fabcon Georgia May Jagger to be photographed by Mario Testino. On the celebrity front, Madonna was snatched up by Dolce & Gabbana - we're hoping she won't look as photoshopped as her previous Louis Vuitton ads.

Trend Alert: Modern Navy

I've never been a huge fan of navy, but Ciara has me thinking twice. At the Originals by Originals Adidas launch in LA, the singer donned a modern navy cutout dress that exudes sleek style. Sizzle. You don't have to show skin - though I would - to exude this contemporary attitude, just focus on streamlined cuts, funky embellishments, and an avant-garde aesthetic. Hmmm, crisp cobalt also made a recent comeback. Could it be the return of blue? I think so . . .

Which Party Girl is Most Fab?

ICYMI, there were a flock of parties this week all across Hollywood. Demi Moore wore a burnt-orange dress with glittering broach to a soiree in LA; Rachel Nichols draped herself in a sexy white by Kaufman Franco gown for her G.I. Joe promotion; Katherine Heigl showed off her bright side in London wearing a paillette creation by Naeem Khan; Ciara donned a body-con dress by Herve Leroux; and Kirsten Dunst opted for a cute blue Miu Miu strapless minidress. Each beauty stuns in her own way, but which star shines the brightest?

Which Red-Carpet Star Was Most Fab at the BET Awards?

It was the 2009 BET Awards this weekend. Did you tune in? If so, you would have definitely noticed five standout ladies on the red carpet. Alicia Keys opted for an embellished Jenny Packham, Beyonce did sequined Balmain, Ciara chose maroon leather, Zoe Saldana continued her clean streak with Calvin Klein, and Adrienne Bailon worked a glam bubble dress. All different, all gorgeous, but who's most Fab?

Which MTV Video Music Awards Japan Performer Is Most Fab?

A handful of celebrities attended the MTV Movie Awards in LA, but three ladies were obviously missing: Katy Perry, Ciara, and Fergie. The sassy songstresses all skipped the MTV festivities in the states but instead performed at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards in Japan. Katy dipped herself in sushi (yum!) designed by Phillipe and David Blond, Ciara looked sexy in a sparkly bodysuit and over-the-knee boots, while Fergie rocked edgy glamour in a black cutout number and super long nails. Each performance outfit is gutsy, but which is most Fab?

Who's More Fierce - Rihanna, Beyonce, or Ciara?

FabSugar — Thu, 07 May 2009 13:30:22 -0700

In-your-face, avant-garde fashion has made its way into the world of hip hop - Rihanna didn't always used to rock Rodarte laser leggings. In the Pon de Replay music video, she was more club girl than Karl's girl. Beyonce embraced gutsier costumes by enlisting Thierry Mugler as her creative adviser for her tour. And Ciara? As of late, she's been stepping out in daring leather pieces that rival Rihanna's. All three singers have got it going on, but who's more fierce?

Trend Alert: Sorbet Blazers

FabSugar — Tue, 05 May 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Like the ice cream, sorbet blazers are sweet, sticky, and just right for Summer. Notice how these colorful blazers make a crisp statement without going overboard. The trick to pulling this off is pairing it with a simple bottom and minimal accessories. Look to sizzling hot Ciara for inspiration. The budding stylista paired her pink blazer with a white tee, blue jeans, and hoops for a refreshing yet refined look. Delish.

The Met's Costume Institute Gala: Ciara

FabSugar — Mon, 04 May 2009 20:06:15 -0700

Here is singer Ciara looking right at home on the red carpet in her Pucci dress designed by new creative director Peter Dundas. It's long, fitted, and black - almost Morticia Addams-style - but has white panels on both sides and some sequins up top. And check out that huge keyhole in the back. Do you love or hate?

FabSugar — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 05:50:22 -0700

R&B songstress Ciara showed up at BBC Radio One in London looking ferocious in skinny gray jeans, barely pink pocket tank, and slick, white blazer. Notice how the crinkly texture is unfussy while exotic Louis Vuitton sandals and sleek sunnies reveal her inner diva. What a cool juxtaposition - I like to call it fashion yin yang.
