You know how I always talk about having fun with fashion? And on the same token, it's better to be overdressed than under? SJP knows what I'm talking about. She dressed to the nines for the School of American Ballet's Winter Ball at Lincoln Center in NYC last night. Instead of opting for your typical ball-gown garb, she sauced it up in a L'Wren Scott green and black python print dress, lace-up Christian Louboutin for L'Wren Scott pumps, and party accessories like a feather stole, lace gloves, and glitzy bracelets. It may be too much for the average bear, so here's my interpretation - just as fun, just as SJP.

DKNY Snakeprint strapless dress - $345.00	Feather Faceted Necklace - $58.00
Deena & Ozzy Strapped Heel - $88.00	Short Lace Gloves - $8.90
Juicy Couture Cluster Drop Earrings - $58.00	Faceted Rhinestone Bracelet - $3.80
Kindra Rhinestone Bracelet - $10.80	Vintage Hair Comb - $12.80
Vintage Glam Frame Shoulder - $98.00

Trend Alert: Frothy Frocks

FabSugar — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 04:00:22 -0800

Froth is usually associated with bubbles or foam. So, if there were to be a frothy frock it would be a dress that is bubbling with fabulousness. Be it structured tiers (Anne in Gianfranco Ferre), organza silk melded with lace (Keira in Balenciaga), or couture detailing (Dita in Marchesa), these dresses provide some real drama. When deciding on your Holiday party frock, consider going above and beyond. I always say I'd rather be overdressed than under.

Ellen Pompeo Is Fab's #1 (Today)

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 16:00:22 -0800

Everyone's opinions are always welcome on Fab. I think we can all agree that last night's SAG awards brought out a bevy of beautiful dresses. Whether they were intended for the Golden Globes or not, I say it's always better to overdress than underdress - especially when a red carpet is involved. It looks like Frenchie Marion Cotillard won your votes for best dressed last night. My favorite didn't make your best-dressed list, but I couldn't keep my eyes off of Ellen Pompeo in her liquid velvet Nina Ricci. Do you recall last night during the pre show when she claimed she saw it in the January issue of Vogue and knew it was the one? Fine choice, Ellen. Especially since she won for worst dressed at last years SAG awards. You've come a long way babe.

Also, you may have noticed that your favorite and my favorite are both Nina Ricci by Olivier Theyskens gowns. Get ready because Nina Ricci is about to blow up - in the best way.

Celebrity Style: Hayden Panettiere

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 13:00:22 -0800

What a lovely little lady Hayden Panettiere has become! While most other stars showed up to Z100's Annual Jingle Ball in casual gear, the petite actress stepped it up a notch in a dramatic white ruffle blouse and black pencil skirt. Some may say she's a tad overdressed for the occasion, but I say more power to her. . . . this is how fashionistas ought to differentiate themselves from the masses.

Lux Pinafore Blouse - $48.00	Rag & Bone Highwaist Pinstripe Pencil Skirt - $245.00
BCBGirls Women's Cayla Pump - $97.95	Lenora Dame faceted lucite cocktail ring - $31.00
