Hughes Cinema Style: The Breakfast Club

FabSugar — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 04:50:22 -0700

I have dedicated not one but two FABTVs to The Breakfast Club. So yeah, it's a fave. It's no Sixteen Candles or Weird Science, but it's up there in Fab's John Hughes top three. I think my favorite character's style in this one is actually not Molly - it's bad boy Bender. With his flannel-over-thermal and bandana-around-boot, he had style for miles. And then there were four: the Jock, the Princess, the Basketcase, and the Geek . . . tres chic. Source

Hughes Cinema Style: Pretty in Pink

FabSugar — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 03:50:22 -0700

Continuing my fashion tributes to the late John Hughes's cinema style - Sixteen Candles fans enter here - Pretty in Pink was a modern fairytale. This time, Molly plays Andie, a fashion designing gal from the wrong side of the tracks. She has a secret crush on richie Blane, played by puppy dog faced Andrew McCarthy. The class system creates a wall for love, while Andie's weirdly fabulous friends provide comic and fashion relief. One of my favorite scenes is Duckie's "Try a Little Tenderness" lip sync - classic. And you have to love Steff, James Spader's super douche character, who had mad rich '80s boy style. Source

Hughes Cinema Style: Sixteen Candles

FabSugar — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 11:11:11 -0700

I'm having a hard time swallowing the news that director John Hughes died. So are Buzz and Bella. Children of the '80s everywhere are mourning. I own most of his iconic '80s films, but Sixteen Candles is my favorite. It has it all: fashion, comedy, romance, high school, Molly, Anthony, Long Duk Dong, and (swoon) Jake Ryan. To this day I am always scoping the streets for my very own Jake Ryan. Molly plays Samantha, an awkwardly adorable sophomore with a forgotten birthday, kooky family, and big crush. Let's reminisce, shall we ? "Oh sexy girlllllfrieeeend . . ." Source

Back to Cool: Teen Queen, Molly Ringwald

FabSugar — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Molly Ringwald not only had dancing skills, the girl was the teen queen of the '80s. While crushing over Jake Ryan (so hot) in Sixteen Candles, being the not-so-popular girl in Pretty In Pink, or playing prom queen in The Breakfast Club, Molly ruled in her leather bombers, scrunched boots, frilly tops, and blazers. It's time to take your back to cool style, well, back in time!

FABTV: The Breakfast Club Dance Scene

FabSugar — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 12:22:22 -0700

FABTV is taking a new direction this week - let's not forget about important fashion/music/dance moments in film. It's these hybrids that sometimes make cinematic history. Flashdance anyone? But onto a less famous scene from a very famous film, the one, the only, The Breakfast Club. The song is so-so, but the moves are so groovy. Each character has their individual style that totally works with their persona. The Prom Queen is doing the quintessential '80s bounce kick, The Jock is working the air guitar, The Rebel is headbanging (naturally), The Basket Case is the most artistic of the bunch, and The Geek is, well, geeking out. Gotta love it.

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 05:00:22 -0700

Is that Molly Ringwald, because someone is definitely Pretty in Pink. No, it's the lovely Zooey Deschanel and she sure looks pretty in her ruffly pink Fleur Wood dress. Besides landing July's Lucky cover, the quirky actress will be starring in M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening coming out June 13.

That makes July a pretty big month for Zooey. It could also be a big month for you, if you happen to win Lucky's Cover Look Giveaway. In addition to the pink dress, you'll be eligible to win all of the Shiseido makeup products used on Zooey, and the beautiful sapphire and diamond earrings she's hiding (trust me, they're gorge). Enter today!

Look of the Day: Pretty in Pink

FabSugar — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 08:00:22 -0700

I don't know, walkguitarchick might beat out Molly Ringwald in a Who Wore It Better: Pretty in Pink Edition! This look makes me jealous: she looks so comfy and laid back, but the pink femmes up the outfit. And the layering of the blouse over the striped top is an unexpected personal touch. Good call.

Here's what she has on:

Tee: Urban Outfitters
Blouse: Urban Outfitters
Shorts: Soffee
Flip Flops: Havaianas

Congrats to walkguitarchick!
