Fab Exclusive! A Steamy Scene From MTV's StyL'D

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:49:14 -0700

I'm counting down the days 'til Nov. 1, the debut of MTV's new show, StyL'D (watch the trailer for the plot). In the meantime, here's another clip to get us pumped. Senior stylist Julie and junior stylist Janna meet to discuss an upcoming magazine shoot for hottie actor and former Paris Hilton flame Josh Henderson. Julie tells Janna she's trying her out, to see what she's got. But little did she know there would be a huge wrench, AKA Brett, to mess up her plans. Somebody's in trouble . . .

Fab Exclusive! MTV's StyL'D Trailer

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 17:11:17 -0700

We're pretty pumped about our exclusive trailer for MTV's new fashion show, StyL'D. It stars one of our favorite stylists, Jennifer Rade, along with wannabes competing for a position at the illustrious Margaret Maldonado styling agency in LA. The trailer features the young prodigies working hard at various fashion shoots with a smattering of Hollywood stars such as Nicole Richie, Ashley Tisdale, and Kim Kardashian. Of course, it wouldn't be an MTV show without a side serving of drama. The show doesn't debut until Nov.1, but for now, satiate your hunger with our exclusive trailer.

Fab Blab: Angelina Jolie's Stylist Dishes on Her Custom-Made Versace Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 03:00:22 -0700

A while back, I interviewed Angelina Jolie's stylist Jennifer Rade. I recently ran into her again at a Marciano event, and she had lots more to say about "Angie." Jen had just flown in from NYC, where she worked with Angelina on her Changeling red carpet look. She and the actress dreamed up the custom-made Versace LBD together. So why did Angelina play it safe? Jen explained that while most people only have a strong eye, a strong jawline, or a strong lip, Angelina has them all.

Therefore, she wears minimal, classic clothing that lets her features shine. Makes sense. Jen has suggested frillier frocks to her client, but to no avail. She even pulled a colorful cocktail dress from the closest rack and we agreed it would be too busy for Angelina. Now if only the actress had been there to put in her two cents!

Exclusive Fab Interview with Angelina Jolie's Stylist Jennifer Rade

FabSugar — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Longtime stylist Jennifer Rade calls herself the Wicked Witch of Wardrobe, and I'll add to that the busiest stylist working today. I had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer a few years back at a Gap Bra Bar event for which she was the spokesperson. I recall the sassy stylist referring to Angelina Jolie, whom she works with closely, simply as Angie. In addition, she's styled music videos (Avril Lavigne, Marilyn Manson, Pink) and commercials, the most recent one being the Jovovich-Hawk for Target one. Jen took a few minutes out of her hectic day to chat with Fab about Angie, her style icons, and what every girl should carry in their purse.

What are your three favorite Angelina Jolie outfits that you've styled?

I think Oscars from 2004 (the cream Marc Bouwer), Mr. & Mrs. Smith premiere (the leather Versace), and Ocean's 13 premiere in Cannes (yellow Peter Dundas for Ungaro).

If your house was burning down and you only had time to save one clothing item, what would it be and why?

Tough question. I would probably try to grab my great grandmother's purses since they've been around so long. Really, I would save nothing other than myself, my husband, and our dogs, because clothing is replaceable.

What should every girl have in their purse in case of a fashion emergency?

Double sided fashion tape or toupee tape, like Hollywood Fashion Tape, Topstick, or Bug Catcherz. It's like the duct tape of the fashion world!

As a stylist, do you feel the pressure of always dressing uniquely?

No. I dress in a casual and classic style. Cool flats (I am obsessed with Elisa Ferare!) with great jeans (J Brand skinny, Paige boot cut, Ranahan Wide Leg) and a simple top. Maybe a cool accessory like a vintage necklace or a few stacking rings from Tiffany or Gurhan or J. Herwitt.

Who are your style icons and what do you admire so much about them?

Wow, this is so hard. Katharine Hepburn, a pioneer and so classic and timeless. Talitha Getty, just cool and bohemian. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen: I love that they do their own thing and take chances. Kate Moss because she wears clothes, they never wear her. Princess Diana, Catherine Deneuve, Diane Von Furstenberg, Sophia Loren . . . it's kind of an endless list.

Can you take me behind the scenes of the Target commercials?

I recently styled the new Jovovich-Hawk for Target commercial and it was so fun! Carmen and Milla are so funny and the clothes are awesome! I love working with Target, great company, great ad agency, and we always have a great time working together.

Fab Blab: Angelina Jolie's Stylist Talks Separates

FabSugar — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Jennifer Rade recently dished about Angelina's custom-made Versace dress, and now the stylist opens up about the actress's latest red carpet look. For the Hollywood Film Festival Awards, Jennifer collaborated with the actress on her sleek, all-black look. Though from afar it looks like a dress, it's actually a Karen Zambos top, Alexis LaMontagna skirt, and Tiffany earrings. "It's two separates that looked great together, clean and simple with a pretty shape, which is what we like," Jen said. Et voilá. I love fashion illusions.
If you think this ensemble is too simple, don't forget what Jennifer said before. While many of us only have a strong eye, strong lip, or strong jawline, Angelina has them all; minimal designs allow her features to shine.

Kim Kardashian in Gray Ruffles: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 10:00:22 -0800

Has anyone else noticed that Kim Kardashian has been dressing more fashionably as of late? That may be because she hired Angelina Jolie's stylist Jennifer Rade. Never mind her new bangs and focus on the outfit she wore to the Empowerment For Africa dinner in NYC. She opted for a gray ruffle dress that's voluminous up top and sleek on the bottom. A diamond necklace adorns her neck and simple peep-toe pumps dress up her feet. What do you think? Has Kim become more stylish in your eyes?
