Melissa George in Gold Lanvin: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 08:23:22 -0700

Melissa Geroge revealed her avant-garde side at the premiere of her psychological thriller, Triangle, in London wearing a shimmering gold dress and decadent baubles - all by Lanvin. Indeed, Melissa is beyond gorgeous and so is her Lanvin frock, but there's something about the two together that don't mesh. Maybe it's the longer hemline and the fact that she's wearing black tights in August? Tell me what you think!

Dress Me Up: Gold & Gray

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 06:00:08 -0800

Gold & gray go together like peanut butter and jelly. Meaning, they're fine alone, but when combined, they produce even richer flavors. Gray calms down gold, while gold pumps up gray's volume a notch or two. The result is part vivid, part mellow.

When I close my eyes, I envision this Mason by Michelle Mason Metallic Gold Corset ($83, originally $275) paired over a fitted heather gray long-sleeve tee. The bottom layer would tame the corset and make it more everyday wearable. Yummy - try it sometime.

Burberry Golden Gloves: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 04:00:22 -0800

Had they been silver, these Burberry Leather Gloves ($450) would of gone perfect with my femme bot Halloween costume. I can see them adding a fun punch of metallic to a sleek winter outfit but I'm worried it might look tacky. Do you have the King Midas touch or are these gloves a no-go?

Trend Alert: Gilded Ladies

FabSugar — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Want to be a solid gold hit at the holiday soiree? Do like these gilded ladies and do it up in sparkling, golden-hued gowns. I would like to point out that all three of these starlets are blondes - brunettes and redheads can shine equally as strong. Elizabeth Banks is straight up glam in her Kaufman Franco slit-front gown, Richie went retro in her heavily beaded Reem Acra, and Jessica Biel outshined in a strapless Oscar de la Renta column. I included gilded cocktail options for us, it's more pared down, unless your hot self has a fabulous upcoming red carpet to grace.
