The Look For Less: Nicole's Psychedelic Pucci Dress

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 09:00:22 PDT

Looks like Nicole Richie's Emilio Pucci Sleeveless High-Neck Dress, $1,070, was a hit! It's not surprising given the uniqueness of the dress and of course, your great taste! Too bad paying over a grand for a frock is not in our near-future plans. Alas, we scoured the net for an alternative with a similar feel - hope you dig it!

read more When I ran into this Arden B. Scarf Print Trapeze Dress, $138, it reminded me a lot of Nicole's Pucci dress for several reasons. First, it has the same high-neck. Next, both prints are psychedelic and fun. Finally, they are both highlighted by blue undertones. They're by no means identical, but the Arden B. version conveys a similar look and feel. And it'll save you a whole lotta dough!

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!

Get Nicole Richie's Sexy, Futuristic Paris Fashion Week Look

Brittney Stephens — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 03:03:11 PST

Designer and style star Nicole Richie jetted off to Paris to take in some runway shows this week, and was snapped backstage at Givenchy working this supersexy, futuristic look. She wore a skintight black leather high-neck dress by the designer, with Christian Louboutin python-print pumps - and surprisingly went sans accessories, opting only for a chic black clutch. The normally bohemian-cool Nicole has been experimenting with sleek, ultraglam looks lately, and I love to see her switch it up. Ready to steam things up?

2011 Fall Milan Fashion Week: Alberta Ferretti

Melody Nazarian — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 15:01:59 PST

One distinct word comes to mind when you take in Alberta Ferretti's Fall collection: mod. While many of the '70s-inspired trends have been more flowy and ethereal, the Italian designer's take is much more pronounced, strong, slim. High-neck collars and quarter-length sleeves dominate, as do long printed coats, slim trousers, and bright pops of color. Prints are equally groovy, taking you back in time when Twiggy and retro boots were hot. But the footwear accompanying Ferretti's Fall show were velvet thigh-high boots, kind of like the faux leather ones Stella McCartney had a few seasons back. I'll say, it's not the most wearable collection as it's currently styled on the runway, but if you sport individual pieces, it can look more relevant.

Trends: Mod, cropped sleeves, high-neck collars, fur, bold color.
Colors: Teal, purple, eggplant, orange.
Key Looks: Mod shift dress with printed coat over it and velvet over-the-knee boots.
Accessories: Velvet thigh-high boots.
Who Would Wear It: Twiggy and any other mod-loving woman.

2011 Fall New York Fashion Week: Prabal Gurung

Noria Morales — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 18:51:22 PST

Prabal’s show began with Karlie Kloss in a luscious, red, off-the-shoulder dress looking like she had stepped straight off the cover of a Harlequin romance novel, minus Fabio. In the background, a sultry version of Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" played, setting the stage for a super flirty, kitschy, and dramatic show that revolved around the theme of love. There were Victorian references in high-necked lace tops with fluttery bell sleeves, '80s moments with ombré furs and punked out hair, and just plain beauty with the lace details and empire-meets-peplum gowns. It was a plea for unadulterated romance, provocative and perhaps a bit naughty. The stylish crowd, among them J.Crew's Jenna Lyons, Garance Doré, Emmanuelle Alt and actress Jessica Chastain, seemed to love it, as they erupted in cheers at the finale, a rarity in fashion shows. For a look at the full runway show, visit FabSugarTV.

Trends: Bandage details, lace, Victorian, '80s, backless coats, lace print.
Colors: Red, ombré, pink.
Key Looks: A lace-paneled coat, Karlie's red gown.
Accessories: Nicholas Kirkwood for Prabal shoes, black leather gloves.
Who Would Wear It: Ladies looking to make a flirty statement on the red carpet or at events.
