Countdown to a Fabulous New Year's! Channeling Alexa Chung's Quirky Cute

Hannah Weil — Sun, 26 Dec 2010 06:30:05 PST

Only five days left until New Year's Eve, so we're continuing our Fab countdown with a little dressing inspiration courtesy of Brit It girl Alexa Chung. If getting dolled up in sequins isn't your thing, opt to keep it understated with an alternative to the sparkly show dress. Alexa's crisp white shirt and shorts get dressed up via a couple of statement necklaces, pretty clutch, and leg-elongating platforms. Channel the same for your own New Year's soiree, even add a pair of lacy tights ($18) to glam it up another notch. Click the items above to snag the same chic evening look.

Countdown to a Fabulous New Year's! Flirty Feathers à la Anna Dello Russo

Hannah Weil — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 08:34:04 PST

There are times to play it safe, but New Year's Eve isn't one of them. With only seven days left on our Fab countdown, if you've ever dreamed of going for it, do like Vogue Nippon editor Anna Dello Russo does. She never shies away from making a statement with glitz, feathers, mini hemlines - the whole shebang. Fashion editor or not, there's no reason you can't do the same. Start with a feathered mini, add a few bold-hued accents, some sparkle, and a fabulous pair of heels. Click the items above to shop, and don't forget, confidence like Anna's is key to carrying off the look.

Countdown to a Fabulous New Year's! Black and White Ball

FabSugar — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 10:15:04 PST

Ten days until New Year's Eve! Party-outfit master Blake Lively has shown us two incredible ways to wear black and white, the most classic evening color combo. First, she takes an ultra feminine white bow jacket and pairs it with sexy black shorts for a fun version of the short suit; then she goes sculptural modern with harem pants and a cutout top. Click the items to shop Blake's black and white look!

Countdown to a Fabulous New Year's! '70s Diva

FabSugar — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 04:45:15 PST

Only 11 days until New Year's Eve!

Diana Ross was a pro at making a stylish splash on stage, and during the '70s and '80s, she rocketed to solo stardom and brought her ultraglam looks out on the town to tons of parties and events. Her iconic style is dazzling and dramatic, yet easy to echo. If you're looking to push your New Year's ensemble to the max this year, go all the way in a fringed maxidress, or a chic fringed statement jacket. Channel the diva Diana with giant hoop earrings and a cocktail ring, and remember: a look this glam calls for extra-high heels, so slip on a pair of sparkly platforms and get ready to hit the floor.

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 08:30:04 PST

Only 14 days until New Year's Eve! Do you know what you'll be wearing when you ring in 2011? We want everyone to get their gorgeous on, so every day for the next two weeks we'll be providing killer NYE party outfits inspired by our favorite style icons of past and present.

Let's kick things off with the always stunning (and newly pregnant) Jennifer Connelly. While it helps that she has the most gorgeous legs in the universe, this tuxedo look is heavenly on its own. A structured black blazer lends sophistication and sexiness to playful shorts. For those sick of the evening LBD, this might be the style remedy you've been waiting for. Tip: try lace or sequin shorts to add texture. Love what you see? Click the items to buy.
