Fab Face: Sean O'Pry

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 03:50:22 -0700

Meet Sean O'Pry. Oh, boy. Not only does he have an inhumanly stunning face, he has been named The World's Most Successful Male Model by Forbes Magazine. And, he's just 19. In 2006, his MySpace photo caught the attention of Lana Winters, owner VNY Models, who phoned Sean's mother to get her permission to fly him to NYC. It took only three days before he landed a major ad campaign. "He came here with a little suitcase, not knowing what to expect and basically became a star overnight," says Winters. "I've been in this business for a very, very long time and I've never seen anybody get such a response," she said. I can see why.

Models That Look Like . . . Animals?

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 08:00:22 -0800

I've always had a real talent for likening people to animals so it was only a matter of time until "It" models became my victims. My first prey: Jessica Stam, whose cat-like eyes make her look like she's a part of the feline family (in this case, a lioness). That connection is pretty obvious. Not so obvious, and funny, are my other victims, Shalom Harlow, Coco Rocha, Stella Tennant, Jacquetta Wheeler, and Tanya D. Check out the gallery below to find out which animals I compare them to, and feel free to share your thoughts. Oh, and if you see a resemblance between another model and an animal, do tell!

Double Take: Celebrity Clones

FabSugar — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 08:00:22 -0800

By now you all know I have a talent for likening people to animals . . . but did you know I also have a knack for comparing people to other people? Since I stare at celebrity and model photos everyday, it's only natural that I found a few that resemble one another. First up, Kate Hudson. The model on the left, Alexa from Elite Models, is practically a carbon copy of the actress. So much so that I had to quadruple check that it wasn't really her! The shape of the eyes, the protruding ears, and thin lips all say "Kate." Scary that somewhere out there there's a person who looks exactly like you, right?

Model Linda Vojtova and Gisele Bundchen can be mistaken for sisters, while an Ann Taylor model and Diane Kruger are practically twins. If you know of more clones, do share!

Fashion That Made You Think in 2007

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 10:00:22 -0800

Who says fashion doesn't make you think? In 2007, there were more than a couple of fashion moments that got you clicking your mouse and tapping your head: Lindsay Lohan's rainbow Herve Leger dress had you swooning and Gemma Ward's appearance on the debut Vogue India got tongues wagging.

Who would have thought with Posh's seemingly endless closet, she would wear the same outfit twice? You were fascinated with a supermodel's maternity wardrobe and divided about sequin dresses on the red carpet - but when it all comes down to it, these are the moments that got your gears going in 2007.

Project Runway: It's a Matter of Taste

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 10:57:48 -0700

Last week Project Runway took cute to the next level and asked the designers to create an outfit for "fashion's hottest accessory" - the little dog!

Seriously, what's better than that face?

Nina Garcia, Vera Wang and Ivanka Trump were this week's judges, but the scorecard of who won and lost this week only tells half the story. Continuing her love affair with prints, Uli won with this flowing, patterned dress.

Check out the daring mix and match of printed fabrics.

In his subsequent podcast, Tim Gunn even went so far as to compare Uli to Diane von Furstenburg, the "master of the print." Snapz to Uli!

Katherine, leaving her sportswear comfort zone, lost with what I thought was a perfectly respectable, if rather plain, slip dress. Sure, it was boring, but did she deserve to go home?

Especially when you compare it to this mess from Angela?

"My story is about a British headmistress of an art camp in Paris, and the camp is called Jubilee Jumbles..." Huh?

Or the fact that Bradley's design was put together a mere two hours before he sent it down the runway and basically copied Daniel V's orchid dress from Season 2?

Or the fact that Keith not only refused to design an outfit for the dog, but then he LIED to the judges and told them that he actually designed four outfits before he stole an accessory off the wall and clipped it around the dog's neck!

To catch up on more of the dramatic details, read more

So much drama, so little time.

First, Bradley was nearly sent home on his birthday. He spent the entire first day staring lamely at a pile of shiny gold fabric and went in to Parsons on the day of the show basically ready to forfeit. He finally managed to pull something together, and in a bizarrely ironic twist, the judges couldn't stop raving! Nina in fact loved his design so much she wanted to show it in Elle! Ah, the fashion gods are fickle.

Second, Laura and Keith officially hate each other, big surprise. Laura calls Keith a "major sh*thead" and Keith calls Laura "Bad Mommy." Meow! (Wait, this was a dog challenge... woof?)

I would normally side with Laura on this one, except now I know she hates dogs. Look at this face when she finds out she's designing for a dog!

Apparently she doesn't have the "emotional energy" to invest in caring for "an animal like that." I officially dislike her now.

Laura also asked this week's dumbest question when she queried, "Are horses a fashion accessory?" Um, not since the 16th century?

Third, Vincent can't seem to tear himself away from the funny hats. This time, however, the model wasn't so compliant and kept trying to wipe the silly thing off his head.

So many reasons to love dogs...
