Guess the Gorgeous Grecian!

FabSugar — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 08:00:22 -0700

Hollywood ladies have been showing a lot of skin on the red carpet, but not where you might expect it. The latest is all about showing shoulders - and just one, to be exact. The power of the Aphrodite has celebs donning beautiful one-shouldered frocks modernized in a range of colors and fabrics. Are you up to date with these Grecian goddesses? Take my quiz and see if you can match the shoulder to the star!

Question 1 of 5

Guess who wore a red and bowed one-shouldered Carolina Herrera gown at the Alma awards in LA?

Former Destiny's Child singer Michelle Williams attended Fuse's new ad campaign party in NYC looking boho glam in an affordable bebe silk, one-shoulder maxi. What I particularly love about this dress is that the silhouette is playful and ethereal, yet the dark color scheme and animal print bottom make it appropriate for an evening event. Michelle threw on a some matching accessories - a black bangle, cocktail ring, some hoop earrings - and called it a night.

Party On Party Dresses: One(derful) Shoulders

FabSugar — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 15:00:22 -0800

One-shoulder dresses had a strong presence earlier in the year at the Oscars and they're still wowing us today. Cate Blanchett, in Armani Privé stole the show, so why not do the same this New Year's?

One(derful) Shoulder dresses are great for ladies who have chiseled shoulders and want to show them off. If your problem areas are below the waist, opt for an asymmetrical frock to draw attention to your décolletage. I'd stay away from necklaces but would rock a gorgeous cocktail ring and retro open-toe pumps.

Ashish Sequined One-Shoulder Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

If you're looking to score four trends with one dress this Ashish One-Shoulder Dress ($895) is the way to go. One-shoulder. Animal print. Sequins. Mini. Check. But, I'm tripping over the neon green hue. A little iguana-esque, no? I'd be all over it in navy. What do you think?

7 For All Mankind One Shoulder Denim Mini Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 05:00:22 -0800

Denim is a tricky fabric to work with, especially when it's used on dresses. This 7 For All Mankind One Shoulder Denim Mini Dress ($172) would be lovely in another fabric, but the denim makes it seem outdated and stiff. Nice try 7 For All Mankind, but I'll stick to just wearing your jeans. What are your thoughts?

The Look For Less: Black Halo One-Shoulder Mini Jackie

FabSugar — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 07:00:22 -0700

One way to show off your Grecian prowess is in a sexy one-shoulder dress. I like how this Black Halo One-Shoulder Mini Jackie Dress ($345) incorporates the sassy with the sophisticated. The skinny belt adds a nice feminine touch and I adore the straight bust line. One-shoulders fade in and out of the fashion cycle, so I would like to spend a lot less on this trend.

To see the look for less, read more.

This Arden B. One-Shoulder Pencil Dress ($118) works well with my budget. It has the same shape and neckline, and I like the pleated foldover bust. The belt is black instead of white, but I can always switch it out.

Maria Bello immediately caught our eye in this nude and metallic one-shoulder Kaufman Franco dress. It's slick, sophisticated, and fits her like a glove. For accessories, the actress chose satin peep-toe Jimmy Choo sandals, matching Choo clutch, and perfectly tousled hair. Pretty hot - do you agree?

2010 Independent Spirit Awards: Taraji P. Henson

Taraji struck a pose on the blue carpet wearing a navy one-shouldered dress. The longer knee-length hemline is a sophisticated choice, while a high slit adds just the right amount of sexy. Fancy woven sandals by Cesare Paciotti, drop earrings, and a knockout ring complete her look. Are you feeling it?
