Maxi Dresses
This Week's Fab Favorite: Angie Harmon
You know when you can tell a woman is enjoying her frock? Here's when. Angie is the sight of maxi dress perfection at the 8th Annual Chrysalis Butterfly Balli in LA in this sheer green printed and belted Kaufman Franco dress.
Found! Nicole Richie's Henley Maxi
No one has a pregnant style quite like Nicole Richie. She manages to maintain her cool factor and show off her baby bump in cozy chic creations. Take this L'Agence Long Henley Dress ($235) she wore out and about in LA.
Lake Bell in Colorblock Lyn Devon Maxi: Love It or Hate It?
I like maxi dresses, I dig colorblock, but for some reason I can't stomach the two together. Lake Bell wore a colorblock maxi Lyn Devon dress to a party for the designer in LA that has me flummoxed. The colors in her ensemble are punchy and the belt helps define her waist, but do you approve of the final product?
Celebrity Style: Olivia Wilde
We're so used to seeing Olivia Wilde in magical red carpet gowns. Now it's time to acquaint ourselves with her more casual side. The actress attended Nobu West Hollywood's one-year anniversary party in a breezy look that's simple to mimic.
This Week's Fab Favorite: Rihanna
Just hours prior to all the drama with Chris Brown, Rihanna attended a pre-Grammy party looking as alluring as she usually does. Seeing as she's an ambassador for Gucci, it makes sense that she chose one of the maxi dresses from its Spring '09 collection. The result isn't the bad girl we're used to seeing, but rather a spunky, modern-day goddess.
Mara Hoffman Chiffon Dashiki: Love It or Hate It?
Quick lesson: A dashiki is a garment widely worn in West Africa. That said, how do you feel about this Mara Hoffman Chiffon Dashiki ($319) hitting mass market? I love the print, but the loose cut and wide front slit seems unflattering.
This Week's Fab Favorite: Joy Bryant
Wasn't I just fawning over Resort time maxis? It's a combination that won't quit — and continues to impress on the red carpet. Joy brought some much-needed cheer to the Art of Elysium red carpet last weekend.
Fab Body Guide: Elongate Yourself
You've all heard that black makes you look slimmer and taller. While that's true, it's not the only trick in the book. There are a dozen other ways to elongate yourself without having to look goth.
Trend Alert: Resort Time Maxis
If you're part of the lucky bunch who is jetsetting to paradise this holiday, do not leave home without at least one Resort time maxi. But the real beauty is: You don't need to leave your hometown to wear such a fabulous frock. Actress Jennifer Morrison wore her Missoni to an InStyle soiree only appearing to have transported herself.
Celebrity Style: Debra Messing
Debra stepped out like Wonder Woman at Saks's 10th Annual Key to the Cure charity kick-off party. Literally. She is wearing a Diane von Furstenberg dress from Furstenberg's new WW clothing collection.
