How Would YOU Wear It? Kate Hudson

FabSugar — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 08:00:22 PST

Before this, I didn't know there were degrees of being matchy matchy. Kate Hudson took the concept to a whole new level at a recent D&G party. I know that grey is a prevalent color right now, but that doesn't mean you have to wear it head to toe, literally.

The top half of Kate's outfit is quite lovely. It's only when you look down that you cringe. The satin and suede combination kills the look, because as we Fabazons know, fabrics are of utmost importance. If I were Kate, I'd pair the jeweled neck blouse with a black mini skirt, bare legs, and a hot pair of pumps.

FabSugar — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 15:30:22 PDT

If you were hypnotized by all the fabulous jewels at the Emmys, like me, prepare yourself for more sparkly delights. Spring's jeweled necks are functional fashion; it's jewelry built right in so you can rationalize a splurge. For those not built in, it's time to start looking for a statement necklace.

Lanvin Fall 2012

FabSugar — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 07:23:04 PST

Feminine opulence pervaded the Lanvin Fall 2012 collection, and how gorgeous it was. Elbaz has always stressed the importance of designing for women, and in this collection, women's curves took center stage, with the focus on the waist. The defining factors? Peplum, balloon sleeves, and lots of belting and draping, which weaved themselves mostly into dresses, but outerwear and richly-hued furs as well. The show opened with a series of jewel-hued pieces - sleek shifts with ruffled details at the neck or down the back, peplum tops paired with slim pencil skirts - then moved through a sexy series of black outfits of leather and fur fit for the edgy city chick. The final act was the most theatrical - dresses were embellished with lace and jewels, or done in rich velvet, or layered with ruffled, jewel-toned furs and accessorized with opera gloves. Finally, the jewelry: statement necklaces fit for a queen, but sure to decorate the necks of fashionable girls everywhere next season. Click to see the whole collection, as it's a beauty.

Trends: Bejeweled dresses, peplum, ruffles, opulent dressing, belting, elbow-length gloves.
Colors: Purple, blue, red, hunter green, gold, gray, black.
Key Piece: Bejeweled, curvaceous cocktail dresses; the peplum tops, the jewelry.
Accessories: Big, fit-for-a-queen statement necklaces.
Who Would Wear It: Fashion-forward glamour girls - Natalie Portman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Julianne Moore.

Critics' Choice Awards: Charlize Theron

Has Charlize Theron ever gotten it wrong? Not that we can remember. The Young Adult star walked the gray carpet in a black, floor-length gown from Azzedine Alaïa's Fall 2011 collection - the gown featured some beautiful details, like a tiered hem and feminine scalloping at the neck. To show off the intricacy of the dress, Charlize kept her hair slicked back, with a pretty braided bun on one side. She kept her makeup minimal, as well as her accessories, opting for a black box clutch and a jeweled ring. Do you love Charlize's look?

Queue Up Some Quatrefoil

Julia Millay Walsh — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 13:35:00 PDT

Quatrefoil is an ornamental design with four rounded lobes or leaves, resembling a flower or four-leaf clover, which has been used in architectural stonework throughout history. Thanks in much part to French jeweller Van Cleef & Arpels' Alhambra collection, the motif has become quite a coveted and trendy one. But around the necks of the proseperous isn't the only place you'll find it: quatrefoil has made its way onto vibrant modern throw pillows, pastoral wooden side tables, rustic mirrors, and quaint dinnerware. One of my favorite designs is the John Rosselli Baltic Lantern ($630), an elegant, gilded light fixture that's just begging to be hung in my foyer. The Maharam Quatrefoil Pillow ($150) would also make a lovely addition to my living room sofa. Shop the rest of the décor by clicking on each of the product images!

Who Had the Best Retro-Inspired Hairstyle This Week?

Brittney Stephens — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 03:18:55 PDT

The retro-inspired hair trend is a popular one for Fall, and this week in particular, we spotted three gorgeous stars sporting vintage styles on the red carpet. Kirsten Dunst paired her tie-neck dress with a simple bun and dramatic side-sweeping bangs, while fellow short-haired star Ashley Judd adorned her '20s-style finger waves with a jeweled barrette. At the Footloose premiere in LA, Julianne Hough left her blond locks long and loose, wearing romantic waves and a deep side part. All three ladies look glamorous and retro-chic, but which one is your favorite?

Met Gala: Iman

Iman is never afraid to take fashion risks, and tonight proved no different. The supermodel chose to wear a shimmering gold sequined Stella McCartney jumpsuit cinched in with a black jeweled belt. A deep v-neck adds a sexy touch, which is amped up with big curls, smokey eyes, and a bronze makeup palette. A standout look, but are you loving it?

All Angles: Diane Kruger at the Berlin Film Festival

Noria Morales — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 10:06:05 PST

Diane Kruger has an intuitive talent for keeping her red-carpet look fresh. With Spring right around the corner, she went for a floaty Vionnet halter dress that looks light and bright. The ivory creponne silk is anchored with a bakelite chain on the waist and a jeweled rope neck. Diane was smart to keep jewelry to a minimum, forgoing earrings in favor of the smallest bracelet and a subtle ring. Her black clutch adds red-carpet sophistication; otherwise, we could absolutely see this dress in a more casual setting! Check out the slideshow for a close-up view of Diane's fresh look.

Princess Charlene and Prince Albert Have a Ball Together in Monaco

Katie Henry — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 16:21:00 PDT

Prince Albert escorted his beautiful new bride, Princess Charlene of Monaco, to tonight's 63rd annual Red Cross Ball in their home of Monte Carlo. The princess stepped out in a jewel-toned Akris gown, which was a stark contrast to the classic white Armani dress she wore just last month during their lavish royal wedding. Charlene kept her hair pulled back and makeup simple to complement the stunning custom-made Van Cleef & Arpels piece she wore around her neck. The necklace was given to the princess as a gift from her husband and can also be worn as a tiara. It was reportedly designed to evoke memories of the ocean and is composed of 88 round diamonds, weighing in at over 44 total carats, with 10 pear-shaped diamonds and 359 sapphires!
