Jonathan Saunders Wyler Maxi Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 13:20:22 -0700

Colorful maxi dresses are all the rage these days. Here is one, Jonathan Sanders Wyler Maxi Dress, $3,370, that is more evening. Although maxi dresses don't flatter everyone, I love the acid bright colors, the silk chiffon panel down the center and the sleek short sleeves. I'd gladly rock this at a fashion soirée. Would you?

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.

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?

Trend Alert: Dip Dyed Maxis

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 07:00:22 -0700

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.

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.

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.

March Shopping Madness: Mile-Long Maxis

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 14:00:22 -0700

Maxi dresses are the ultimate way to exude a stylish laid-back look. Just look at Stella McCartney's Spring '08 collection, which was filled with feminine floral maxis. Also take cue from Nicole Richie who recently frolicked LA in a paisley maxi dress. There's something to be said about a dress that can make you look put together and feel comfy at the same time. Do what you will with the neckline but make sure your maxi is floor length. After all, anything shorter wouldn't be a mile-long maxi.

Dress You Up! Maxi Dresses

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 09:11:22 -0700

Ok so this first model in a serious maxi dress looks like a tree, but that is the effect the longest dress of all can help one achieve. I was actually just on a hunt for a maxi dress and ended up scoring an awesome black silk Corey Lynn Calter one. I wore it to Fashion Week Live last month. I gotta tell ya, I stood out (in a good way) amongst all the legs and got several compliments. My analysis: maxi dresses are the next 'It' dress. After all, the only way to go after the mini dress is down, way down. I wore mine with some exotic flats because I am tall; if you're on the shorter side, these look retro redone with a solid pair of wood-heeled wedges.

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.

Found! Jenny McCarthy's Blue Ombre Maxi Dress

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 10:00:22 -0700

Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey enjoyed time on the beach on the 4th of July, and while Jim looked pretty good in his woman's bathing suit, she was hotter in her Scoop Beach Smocked Dress ($365). It comes with a rope belt but Jenny opted to remove it for the beach. Unlike many other ombre maxis, this one is silk so it's wearable in dressy situations. I told you dip-dyed maxis were all the rage.
