Celebrity Style: Hilary Duff

Hilary Duff left her chunky earrings and designer logo bags at home for an uncomplicated, yet gorgeous, Summer look. The actress walked the red carpet for the latest Cartier Love Bracelet Launch party in a Phillip Lim cobalt strapless dress and black-patent gladiator heels. She kept her ears simple with diamond stud earrings and adorned her neck with a gold scalloped necklace - Cartier, perhaps? Can I hear a round of applause for this more pared down Hilary?!

Who says you can't mix grey and gold? Not Miss Hayden Panettiere. The petite actress, here at Katsuya Sushi in LA, proved that experimenting with unlikely color combinations is a good thing. Much like black and blue! On her menu tonight is a grey jersey maxi dress, Rebecca Minkoff's Morning After bag, gold gladiators, and an ivory wrap sweater. Cozy and cute all at the same time.

Jellie Gladiators: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 26 May 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Lately, I've been living in gladiators. Like a leather jacket, they add the perfect edgy touch to a girlie ensemble. I was thrilled when I found these Jellie Gladiators ($20) that come in cobalt, hot pink, bronze, silver, black, and white. If it weren't for the gladiator part of the equation, I wouldn't like it, but the jellie part makes it all the more unique. I got the cobalt, will you?

Who Wore It Better? Blue and Green Balenciaga Gladiator Sandals

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 11:00:22 -0700

You know the zeitgeist is in flux when Heidi Montag wears a Balenciaga item even before Sarah Jessica Parker! The reality starlet hit up NYC with Spencer on Wednesday, and took us all by surprise when she actually wore a cool outfit, complete with blue and green Balenciaga gladiator sandals. Then, the ever-so-lovely SJP filmed a commercial on Thursday in a Carrie-inspired outfit and the same exact Balenciaga shoes. I can't believe I'm doing this, but in this case, I prefer Heidi's outfit because it's more my style. Personalities aside, who do you think wore it better?

The Look for Less: Lanvin Gladiator Sandal

FabSugar — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 15:50:44 -0700

You all know by now that I am a huge fan of gladiator sandals, even though my friends say I look like Hercules when I wear them. Whatever. These Lanvin Gladiator Sandals, $575, to me, are one of the best kinds out there. Worn with a pair of itty-bitty denim shorts and a simple white tee, they would look dazzling. If they're a bit out of your league, you'll be excited for the look for less...I sure was!

Almost identical, these Dolce Vita Fondue Gladiator Sandals, $87, are the perfect alternative to the Lanvin ones. They even have the same t-strap and python detail. For less than half the price, I'd purchase these. And if ever asked "Are those Lanvins?" I'd just smile and nod. A little white lie never hurt anyone!

Rihanna's Balenciaga Gladiator Boots: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 14:00:22 -0700

Rihanna is never one to shy away from extreme trends, but her Balenciaga gladiator boots are pretty dramatic. Hey, there is nothing wrong with that! The singer visited the BET studios in what may appear to be a crazy outfit, but if anyone can pull it off, it's someone young and funky like Rihanna. I'm relieved she kept the top half of her ensemble all black - anything else would have clashed horribly. Are you digging her gladiator boots or are they better left on the runway?

Fabworthy: Marciano Analisa Metallic Gladiator Sandal

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 14:00:22 -0800

This Marciano Analisa Metallic Gladiator Sandal ($200) is the closest we're going to get to looking like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. It's daring, in your face, and designed for the boldest gals out there. It's currently not sold online, but fret not; find a Marciano store near you and get going.

To prevent looking like a fashion freak, make sure the rest of your outfit is simple and chic. I'm talking an all-black ensemble and simple jewels. Let the shoe do all the talking, er shouting . . . it sure has lots to say!

Trend Alert: The Bronze Gladiator

FabSugar — Wed, 21 May 2008 09:00:22 -0700

I revel in it when a previous bargain of mine finally makes it to trend status. Not to brag, but I scored a pair of Christian Dior bronze gladiators over a year ago on major markdown - they were from the 2008 Cruise collection. It was right when gladiators were surfacing, though I've always liked the masculine/feminine sandal. Now gladiators are every which where and it was hard to miss Gwyneth's Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain bronze sandals at the Two Lovers premiere in Cannes. So we all have black ones, move on to the lover, the fighter, the bronze gladiator.

Sicilly Bronze Paris - $49.95	MIA - Godiva (Bronze Leather) - $72.00
Steve Madden 'Lilaac' Sandal - $79.95	Giuseppe Zanotti Braided Multi-Strap Metallic Sandal - $595.00
Boutique 9 'Rae' Gladiator Sandal - $129.95	Steve Madden - Croww Bronze Leather - $80.00
Modern Vintage Women's Fernanda Gladiator Sandal - $224.95	All Saints Flat Ring Gladiator Sandal - $86.52
White Mountain "Natasha" Sandal - $45.00
