Grammy Awards: Fergie

FabSugar — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 16:32:36 PST

Fergie left little to the imagination on the Grammys red carpet, arriving in a see-through Jean Paul Gaultier gown straight from the designer's Spring '12 couture collection. She paired the hot orange lace with black lingerie peeking out from underneath, then accessorized with bold gold hoops and a matching gold cuff. A jewel-encrusted clutch and a high ponytail finished the fashion-forward look. Between the peek-a-boo effect, fishtail silhouette, and high-wattage hue, Fergie's style is all drama tonight - what's your take?

Jean Paul Gaultier Turned All His Models Into Amy Winehouse

Miriam Lacey — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:41:12 PST

Models at the latest Jean Paul Gaultier show were a big surprise when they hit the runway, and not just because of Gaultier's iconoclastic ensembles. The designer sent out an army of Amy Winehouse clones, all bedecked in huge beehives, thick retro eyeliner, and Ms. Winehouse's signature "beauty mark" (which was actually a piercing). One of the doppelgängers was even smoking a cigarette. Gaultier genuinely seems to be inspired by Amy's singular sense of style and her music as well - the soundtrack to the show was comprised entirely of her songs. So far, reviews of the collection are positive, and everyone involved seems well intentioned. Still, given how recently Amy passed, is it fair to ask whether copying her look is appropriate just yet?

Met Gala: Karolina Kurkova

BellaSugar — Mon, 02 May 2011 20:33:52 PDT

It's hard to not look gorgeous when you're a supermodel like Karolina, and tonight was no exception. Opting for a Jean Paul Gaultier dress, Karolina simply beamed in black and white. We love the lace-like detail at the shoulders and skirt, as well as her complementary makeup choices - I spy both black and white on her eyelids. A strong red lip finishes it off.

2011 Fall Paris Fashion Week: Jean Paul Gaultier

Hannah Weil — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 14:01:51 PST

It's the kind of fun we'd expect Gaultier to have with his collection. This time a playful rendition of '50s and '60s fashion that had models tossing their their layers to the end of the catwalk, then closing with a striptease from French commedienne Valerie Lemercier. It's a presentation that's all tongue and cheek, models with graying bouffants taking the runway in belted tweed, jacquard, gloves and kitten heels. But, don't let the references to retro dressing fool you, this collection is just as full of the more modern, covetable plays on ladylike apparel. Fall trends in the form of leather pencil skirts, fur-trimmed puffers, a sleek trench coat, and slick suiting that celebrate sophisticated, wearable luxe.

Trends: Ladylike dressing, fur, leather, graphic print, menswear.
Colors: Earth tones, gray, black, a splash of citrus and green.
Key Looks: A belted, fur-trimmed puffer coat and kitten heels.
Accessories: Fur stoles, gloves, t-strap pumps, lace-up boots, pointed-toe kitten heels, and fur-trimmed suitcases.
Who Would Wear It: The feminine sophisticate who craves luxury with modern sensibility.

2011 Grammy Awards: Rihanna

BellaSugar — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 18:15:21 PST

Rihanna joins the mermaid hemline brigade tonight sporting this see-through ruffled Jean Paul Gaultier gown. She's the chameleon of beauty, and tonight's look does not disappoint. In lieu of the voluminous, crimped coiffure she's been sporting these days, she toned it down with a softly tousled bob; her violet-toned makeup stands out against her white dress. We all know Rihanna is a risk-taker, but does this risqué look pay off?

Paris Couture Week just wrapped up, and once again the collections were awe-inspiring. Elie Saab showed an array of gorgeous gowns perfect for red carpets.

Here are our very delicious highlights from Spring 2011's couture collections, so click and enjoy.

Picture It: Here Comes the Bride

Annie Scudder — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 14:40:13 PST

Androgynous male model Andrej Pejic looked gorgeous as he walked Jean Paul Gaultier's couture runway yesterday as the show's bride. Andrej also walked Gaultier's menswear show. I'm digging the veil.

Man or Woman? Fashion's Recurring Obsession With Androgynous Models

FabSugar — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 03:02:04 PST

Fashion has always played with androgyny, but lately it has taken a provocative step onto center stage. Remember when Balenciaga sent a bevy of androgynous-looking models, including the fierce Jana K., down the Spring '11 runway? Since then, we've seen Lea T. smooching Kate Moss on the Love cover, a major moment for the transsexual model who made her debut as the Givenchy muse. Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring '11 ad features Karolina Kurkova leaning in for a kiss with a beautiful blonde that looks like a girl, but it's delicate-looking male model Andrej Pejic. These models are blurring the lines of sexuality and the fashion industry is loving it. Click on to view more androgynous images, then tell us what you think of fashion's latest sexual revolution.
