Designer of the Moment: Gucci

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 03:00:22 PDT

Bumble bees watch out . . . Hollywood's hottest ladies are posing serious threat in their black-and-yellow Gucci dresses. Celebs like Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, Jessica Alba, Marion Cotillard, Eva Longoria, and Camilla Belle are all loving themselves some Gucci lately, and given the vibrant Spring '08 collection, it's plain to see why.

The line abounds with bright yellow, oversized abstract florals, and black and white. And who can resist the power of noir. Not Drew - she wore her frock with a piped belt to the Gucci/UNICEF event. There's more Gucci where that came from so gush away.

Designer of the Moment: Temperley London

FabSugar — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 07:00:22 PST

There's a British invasion on the red carpet and the initiator is Temperley London. Only this is an intrusion we're happy to embrace. The red carpet is thriving thanks to Eva Mendes, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Halle Berry, who have all chosen designer Alice Temperley's eye-catching, feminine and intricate creations for recent events. It's the vibrant turquoise of Sarah's gown, the criss-cross bodice on Eva's frock, and the papillon accent on Halley's LBD that bestows Temperley as the designer of the moment.

Designer of the Moment: Catherine Malandrino

Designer Catherine Malandrino is everywhere these days! Well, she's not around per se, but her ultra feminine and unique dresses sure are everywhere you look. Go to any Hollywood party and chances are you'll find at least one, if not two or three, actresses sporting a Catherine Malandrino frock. Among her celeb fans? Serena Williams, Lauren Conrad, Minnie Driver, Petra Nemcova, Maria Menounos, Brittany Snow, Nicole Richie, Beyonce, and the list goes on and on. I even have the same Malandrino cocktail dress as Lauren Conrad!

It's not hard to see why all the starlets are attracted to the designer's dresses. They are truly unique and seriously flattering. And best of all, they come in all sorts of colors, patterns and silhouettes, so no two Malandrino girls ever look alike. That is, unless they're wearing the exact same dress! Do you love the designer of the moment Catherine Malandrino as much as we do?

Carrie, Rihanna, Katy, Fergie, and More Get Sexy on the Grammys Red Carpet

Lauren Turner — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 22:12:26 PST

Music's leading ladies and more famous faces brought their best looks to the Grammys red carpet in LA tonight. Julianne Hough posed in a strapless Kaufman Franco gown while Alicia Keys chose a simple black dress and arrived on the arm of husband Swizz Beatz. Adele, who is nominated for six awards, wore a custom Giorgio Armani gown. She's taking the stage at this evening's show to perform for the first time since undergoing surgery to repair damaged vocal cords late last year. Fellow performer, Rihanna, brought the sexiness in a backless Armani number, which she helped design.

Neutrals were a big trend on the carpet with Kate Beckinsale stepping out in a cream Zuhair Murad mini and country star Miranda Lambert in a similarly hued lace Pivoni gown. Miranda joined her husband, Blake Shelton, on the carpet. Kelly Osbourne sparkled in Tony Ward with her light purple hair. Best country song and best country solo performance winner Taylor Swift rocked a high-neck Zuhair Murad as she awaits the news on her third nomination.

Nominee Carrie Underwood kept the sparkle coming in a long sleeve white gown by Gomez-Gracia. She'll hit the stage for a duet with Tony Bennett at tonight's show. Katy Perry, who is nominated for two Grammys, switched up her usually edgy appearance with a subtle blue Elie Saab that matched her bright hair, while Fergie showed skin in a hot orange lace Jean Paul Gaultier that revealed her black undergarments. Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott brought a touch of color with her purple Monique Lhuillier gown.

There were more fashionable moments with Nicki Minaj stepping out in a dramatic Versace cape, and Malin Akerman wearing white, among others, so be sure to click through to see all the looks and make sure to vote on Fab and Bella's red carpet polls!

Diane von Furstenberg Fall 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 14:54:49 PST

Designers have been sticking to a more neutral palette for Winter but not Diane von Furstenberg and Yvan Mispelaere. Showing to a celebrity-filled crowd at Lincoln Center - we spotted Solange, Molly Sims, Coco Rocha, and Barbara Walters in the crowd - the duo filled the runway with gorgeous color combos in every jewel tone imaginable. The theme of the collection was "rendezvous," further explained in the show notes as "glamorous at a moment's notice." The outcome was sexy, effortless French-inspired dressing in the way of formfitting wool jersey dresses, wrap skirts, office-appropriate separates, and drapey asymmetric jumpsuits. A pink rendition of the latter, paired with an oversized dark burgundy coat, was one of the highlights of the collection. Whimsical prints - puzzle pieces, quotation marks, and keyholes, were splayed across an array of wrap skirts, oversized coats, and blouses, emoting a sense of mysterious quirk. Whether you're a working woman or just looking to paint the town red, DVF has you covered.

Trends: Sheer insets, high slits, halter and racerback details.
Colors: Raspberry, seafoam green, scarlet red, dark teal, black, mustard yellow.
Key Piece: We loved the asymmetric pink jumpsuit paired with a gorgeous dark burgundy coat.
Accessories: Oversized clutches, box clutches, printed satchel bags, leather opera length gloves, ankle-strap pumps.
Who Would Wear It: Girls who crave effortless, sexy silhouettes and bright hues like Zoe Saldana and front row attendees Molly Sims and Solange.

L.A.M.B. Fall 2012

Marisa Tom — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 21:38:20 PST

Inspired by the "1960s rogue girl with a Japanese street sensibility," Gwen Stefani chose to show off her latest L.A.M.B designs against a collage of black-and-white New York City street snaps and closeup shots of girls getting their eye makeup done, all while Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Were Made For Walkin'" boomed overhead. Each look seemed to reflect a moment in Gwen's iconic style evolution. Case in point: her "Hey Baby" houndstooth print made a serious comeback, landing on everything from sporty totes to bomber jackets; her "Sweet Escape" moto-edged attire popped up in zippered jacquard jackets; and those Clueless-worthy platforms? That's just a classic Gwen staple. While the outerwear was athletic and tough, the attention to feminine details was also spot on. Look to the Peter Pan collars, sexy Morgenthal Frederics cat-eye glasses, impeccably pleated circle skirts, and sheer knee-high nylons for proof of Gwen's girlier side. No matter how you spin it, this is an ultra-wearable lineup of '90s-cool gear with a hint of retro and a pop of graphic-print modernity.

Trends: Houndstooth print, pleated skirts, sportswear-inspired outerwear, and Peter Pan collars.
Colors: A dark, cool palette - red, black, gray, and ecru - with surprise pops of neon yellow.
Key Piece: The gray pleated circle skirt paired with a sweet collared top makes a sexy take on schoolgirl classics.
Accessories: Sporty tote bags, cat-eye secretary glasses, knee-high nylons, and '90s-style chunky platforms.
Who Would Wear It: The girl with a sportier fierce edge when it comes to dress, like Rihanna.

Chi Diem Chau — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:16:03 PST

Derek Lam's new venture, 10 Crosby, has fulfilled its cool-girl status for Fall '12. The third collection from the line, 10 Crosby showed plenty of bold prints, sharp tailoring, and just the right amount of femininity to please every downtown girl. Inspired by the classic holiday flick Home Alone, Lam and design director Liz Giardina envisioned what the 10 Crosby girl would wear on a snowy Winter day. With that thought in mind, the two created silky printed palazzo pants, cozy peplum cardigans, fox-fur vests, and pajama-inspired tops tempered with tailored poplin shirt dresses and sharp trousers. We especially love the chambray shirt dress and chunky peplum cardigan combo. More defining moments below, then check out the complete collection lookbook, starring Belgian beauty Hanne Gaby Odiele.

Trends: Bold prints, palazzo pants, sheer, plaid, peplum.
Colors: Red, nude, gray, green, brown.
Key Piece: We love the chic structured shirt dress and gray peplum sweater combination.
Accessories: Loafers, ankle-strap sandals, pumps, skinny belts, sling-back platform mules.
Who Would Wear It: Girls who like polish with an edge like Olivia Palermo, Amanda Brooks, and Kate Bosworth.
