Trend Alert: Tuxedo Shirts

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 08:30:22 PDT

If you don't know which way to go down the menswear brick road this Fall, the easiest place to start is tuxedo shirts. Ellen Pompeo looked fresh and chic in a Yves Saint Laurent shirt blowing in the wind this Summer. Fortunately, a crisp white shirt is a year 'round item. Not too long ago we had a tuxedo day but this pulled together yet relaxed look is in vogue, from here to eternity. Whether you choose to go white, black, shirt or shirtdress, go day or night paired with a pencil skirt or some sexy black skinnies and a pair of man-eating heels.

Shakira joined her man, Gerard Pique, in the stands of a soccer match Saturday night in Spain. The pair sat together to watch Gerard's team, Barcelona, beat Osasuna 2-0. He kept one eye on the field and the other on Shakira during their latest PDA session. Sparks flew for Shakira and Gerard when they first met shooting the video for her World Cup anthem "Waka Waka," but it's her latest club-pounding dance anthem, "Rabiosa," that's currently heating up the charts.

Shakira smooched her boyfriend, Gerard Piqué, before performing at the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona on Sunday.

They don't seem to be shy about showing PDA since Shakira and Gerard have also been spotted locking lips at a soccer match and getting cozy over lunch.

Hot Couple Shakira and Gerard Sparkle on the Red Carpet

Katie Henry — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 11:21:57 PST

Shakira and her soccer star boyfriend Gerard Piqué were the hottest couple on hand for last night's FIFA Ballon d'Or award presentation in Zurich. The singer was the guest of honor and presented Lionel Messi, Gerard's FC Barcelona teammate, with the player of the year award. Complementing the hot red gown was the tan Shakira got from wearing her bikini on a recent getaway to Miami. Gerard was by her side for the majority of the evening, and hopefully he'll join her for another night out in just a few weeks. On Valentine's Day, Shakira and Miley Cyrus are set to team up for a charitable gala.

Sundance Snapshot: Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg Are Adorable in Celeste and Jesse Forever

Becky Kirsch — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 11:22:56 PST

Celeste and Jesse Forever was one of the first films I checked out at Sundance this year, and I'm so glad I did. The cast, which features Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg as the titular characters, was enough to pique my interest, but the smart, relatable, script is what won me over. Here's more on what I thought of the film.

Who's behind it? The film stars Andy Samberg, Rashida Jones (who also cowrote the screenplay), Ari Graynor, Elijah Wood, and Emma Roberts. It was directed by Lee Toland Krieger.
What's it about? Jones and Samberg are Celeste and Jesse, high school sweethearts who have recently decided to separate. The only problem is that they're still BFF: he's living in her guest house, they're still spending all of their time together, and are still living in their own little world (much to the confusion of their circle of friends). Though it's clear that they're not ready to fully let go of each other, an unexpected circumstance forces them both to confront their feelings and make a final decision about their relationship.
What did I think? This movie made me laugh and broke my heart, thanks to Jones and Samberg's chemistry and performances. There are plenty of amazing jokes and one-liners, but more than that, there's a very real story and commentary about how hard it is to let go of someone you love. Jesse and Celeste are so easy to root for, but the film is careful to keep the story real rather than veering into romantic comedy territory. It's also a breakout role for Samberg, who we've mostly only seen doing straight comedy. He's still a lovable goofball here, but he also proves that he's got the chops to handle more serious material. The film was bought by Sony Pictures Classics, so keep an eye out for it in theaters in the next year.

Ivy and Scott's DIY Carnival Wedding

CasaSugar — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 12:31:09 PST

Creating an imaginative DIY wedding came naturally for video editor Ivy Calhoun and graphic designer Scott Gardenhire. After bumping into each other at several magazine parties, the two eventually became a pair. Four years later, they decided to get hitched and settled on a Spring wedding in early May 2011.

After their initial venue choice fell through, they called on wedding planner Kendra Pfeiffer-Wershing for help finding a last-minute venue. Unsure about whether or not they could afford to hire a planner, Kendra assured them that she could save them money in the long run. After she suggested Stone Barn Ranch in Sheridan, CA, Ivy and Scott's interest piqued. The new venue not only surpassed their checklist of requirements, but was also more than 30 percent lower than the price of their original venue and even included some equipment rentals. After scheduling an appointment that day to pay the ranch a visit, they fell in love with it immediately and hired Kendra right away.

Inspired by the scenic country setting and their favorite junk food snacks, Ivy and Scott decided to put their artistic skills to work by creating a colorful, insanely fun, DIY carnival wedding. Take a look through their wedding gallery for tips on styling an eclectic wedding party, keeping guests entertained, crafting your own decor projects, and more!

Your Complete Guide to Wearing Bright, Bold Lip Color

Guest Writer — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 11:14:45 PST

We're thrilled to present the following post from Brett Freedman, BellaSugar guest writer, celebrity makeup artist, and founder of Vanitymark Cosmetics.

The bright lip trend is in full throttle. Are you on board? Still feeling like it's not for you? Here's my insight into dipping your toe in the bold lip pool! The other night I went to a friend's for dinner and a screening of My Week With Marilyn. In honor of the film (and Ms. Monroe), my gal pal, Whitney, showed up with a beautiful cherry lip (Guerlain's #529) and matching nails (Sephora by OPI's And a Cherry on Top). Keep in mind, Whitney is a neutral/pinky gloss girl.

Seeing her with scarlet lips was striking and felt totally fresh. She looked so great that I found myself asking why she doesn't do it more often. Whit's reply: "It's not special if you do it all the time." So true, and on closer inspection I noticed both her lip and nail color had a touch of gold. How very smart of her, as gold softens. A red lipstick may seem very thick and garish, but with a tinge of gold it seems to have more depth and feel very wearable. Every woman has a bright shade that will make her look sensational. Check out Brett's complete guide to getting bright lip colors right when you read more.

Shakira and Her New Boyfriend Gerard Make Out During a Loved Up Lunch

Katie Henry — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 08:32:00 PDT

Shakira and her boyfriend Gerard Piqué were spotted making out and enjoying a late lunch in Barcelona yesterday. The singer and Spanish soccer star met last Summer shooting her music video for "Waka Waka." Shortly after, she split from her long-term boyfriend Antonio de la Rúa and later went public with her hot new romance despite earlier denials of their chemistry. The pair headed off for a stroll holding hands, but first stopped to say hi to their admirers - and Gerard's undoubtedly a big fan of his lady's music and Shakira's sexy abs!
