Celebrity Style: Whitney Port

FabSugar — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 12:00:22 -0800

Whitney stole the spotlight at a charity gala in New York last night. Her white-draped gown is a fresh take on holiday dressing; and the black sash is added drama. Her oversized green snakeskin clutch provided a vintage touch, while on the other hand a red watch kept her in check - do you think she was purposely mixing the traditional Christmas colors of red and green? Here she is with new friend Olivia from The City, also looking quite Fab.

Mod Reptile Clutch - $24.80	Metallic Serpent Watch - $8.50

Trend Alert: Dip Dyed Maxis

The maxi has proven to be a favorite Summer dress, especially amongst the starlets. But there are so many fabulous styles to choose from. Dip dyed maxis are both comfortable and unique. These are ideal for the gal with a drop of bohemia in her blood. Who knew Jessica Alba was a hippie-loving mom? These are also perfect for those with a bun in the oven; Gwen Stefani has been wearing dip dyed maxis for months now. If these moms stick with the dip dye, those are going to be rockin' babies.

Celebrity Style: Kate Hudson

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Kate Hudson introduced her new man to her mom Goldie during a casual afternoon lunch in Santa Monica. The actress also showed off her love of flowy dresses by wearing a teal halter maxi by T-Bags and accessorizing with Giuseppe Zanotti buckle sandals and an ostrich bag. Seeing as Santa Monica is an urban beach community, this comfy-cum-cute ensemble is quite appropriate.

Nuti New Yorker Ostrich Hobo ($3,400)	Versace Women's Square Rhinestone Plastic Sunglasses ($420)

Who Wore It Better? Jenni Kayne Silk Tie Gown

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 12:00:22 -0700

A case of starlet versus stylist. Rachel Zoe donned this Jenni Kayne dress back in October for the designer's LA store opening, while Kristen chose it for the premiere of Forgetting Sarah Marshall; she wore it a good while later, I might say. It seems the prints are inversed, with Rachel's showing more white and Kristen's more of that stunning electric blue. Both chose chunky gold accessories, though Rachel let her hair down in long loose waves and Kristen went for an updo. I think they both bring something different to the dress in a good way. Who do you think wore it better?

Celebrity Style: Kristen Bell

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 11:00:08 -0700

At long last - after all of the notice-me advertising - Forgetting Sarah Marshall is finally here. Kristen Bell went all out in an appropriately tropical look for the Hawaii-set movie, choosing a Jenni Kayne printed maxi dress in an extra fresh cobalt blue and white palette. What really makes this special is the abundance of chunky gold accessories. They could have thrown the look into overkill territory, but with her beachy updo and casually glam dress, the overall effect strikes just the right balance.

Jenni Kayne Tie Gown - $1,695.00	Metallic T-Strap Heels - $28.00
A.V. Max gold chunky charm short necklace - $87.00	Gold Metal Bangle Set - $16.50
Danielle Stevens Jewelry Filigree Bangle in Gold - $26.00	Gorjana Gold Porter Studs - $55.00
Diane von furstenberg Ceo leather bag - $440.00

Who Wore it Better? Diane von Furstenberg Printed Maxi Dress

FabSugar — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Maybe maxi dresses really will catch on big time. They do capture that bohemian Summer vibe oh so well. Miss Molly Sims debuted the bold dress at Diane von Furstenberg's dinner I attended back in February, and Garcelle Beauvais Nilon selected it for a Saks Fifth Avenue event yesterday. They both wisely chose bare necklines and upswept 'dos, paving the way for the dress to make the main statement. It fits both of them like a dream, but I'm liking the shoulder cutouts on Molly's a tad bit more for that extra flash of skin. Who do you think wore it better?

The Look For Less: Gwen Stefani's Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Maxi

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 02:00:22 -0700

An adorably pregnant Gwen Stefani recently played in the park with Gavin and Kingston. While Pop was examining her baby bump, I was more focused on what was covering that growing belly: Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent's ruffle maxi dress ($372). Mile-long maxis grazed the Spring runways; now let's have them sweep the streets without massacring our wallets!

Not only is this Arden B. Smocked Maxi Dress ($80, originally $118) similar to Gwen's maxi dress, it's also on sale! It has a mixed flower print and exudes the boho-chic vibe that the singer so loves. Preggers or not, this maxi will be a perfect Spring companion. Whether you wear it with heels or flats, make sure it touches the floor like Gwen's. Flooding in a maxi is not cute.
