Joy's Joyous Maxis

FabSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

Did you know Joy Bryant has worn over 20 maxis on the red carpet? That's a lot of maxis! While the effortlessly gorgeous actress loves jeans for everyday life, she clearly favors maxis for night. Bold, understated, print, solid, flowy, fitted - she's done it all. And her maxi designer of choice? Missoni, of course, the designer of her (maxi) wedding gown. But she has also been spotted wearing Zac Posen, Alexander McQueen, Pucci, and Bally. Take a trip down the red carpet to witness Joy's joyous maxis from 2004 until today.

FabSugar — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 03:00:08 -0700

The day I get tired of maxi dresses is the day pigs fly - never. Bellakoko feels me. Here she is looking like a bohemian babe in her paisley print frock and red beanie. It's all so effortless, yet polished. Also, her aviators add a certain star quality. Peace, love, and fashion!

Here's what she has on:

Beanie: Zara
Dress: Patong Street Market
Belt: H&M
Bag: Nine West
Sunnies: Ray-Ban

Congrats to bellakoko!

Xoqiqixo is experiencing the Summer blues in a stylish manner. She scored an oceanic maxi dress for only $10 - amazing. I'm also digging how her ivory crocheted shrug gives off a Mexicana feel. Muy bonita, senorita!

Here's what she has on:

Maxi dress: Forever 21
Top: MM Couture by Miss Me
Bangles: Unknown

Congrats to xoqiqixo!

This Week's Fab Favorite: Angie Harmon

FabSugar — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:00:22 -0700

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. The print and fit are stellar, but the wraparound, crisscross brown belt takes it to a more interesting place. Angie always manages to look good, no - great, but this maxi fits her personality as well - unique, fun, and party ready. She could have stopped with the exotic dress, but she added further flair with disc chandelier earrings. It's official: statement earrings are redivivus.

Found! Nicole Richie's Henley Maxi

FabSugar — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 14:00:22 -0700

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. True, you have to be rather svelte to wear it, but the casual henley style makes her appear approachable. Of course Nicole wore Loubs and a Givenchy bag to up the glam factor.

Lake Bell in Colorblock Lyn Devon Maxi: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 01:00:22 -0700

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?

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. What specifically drew me in is Olivia's equestrian-style belt.

This Week's Fab Favorite: Rihanna

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 16:00:08 -0800

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.

Maxis aren't anything new on the red carpet, but this one stands out because of its vivid colors. I love the mix of blue, teal, and white, and the way she belted it to accentuate her waist. Rihanna is a master at accessorizing - get a hold of those gold-chain hoop earrings, bangles, and art deco cuff bracelet. You look flawless girl, get better soon.

Mara Hoffman Chiffon Dashiki: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 13:24:22 -0800

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. Do you think Mara translated this ethnic piece well or should she go back to the drawing board?

This Week's Fab Favorite: Joy Bryant

FabSugar — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 15:00:22 -0800

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. Doesn't look like she's loving it? Joy is becoming quite the Missoni missionary - she wore two Missoni dresses her wedding night - but can you blame her? I've had a longtime love affair with not only Missoni's signature prints, but they're modern silhouettes and jet-set vibe.Joy looks like she just threw on this draped yellow maxi, but she didn't forget some key finishes. Her ivory Bally clutch added structure and her equally yellow David Yurman earrings and bracelet were totally luxe. Per usual, Joy appears fresh faced and natural, what a stunner.
