2009 Primetime Emmy Awards Trend: Purple Majesty

FabSugar — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 10:13:43 -0700

I'm surprised purple majesty doesn't turn up on more red carpets. The color of royalty - and creativity - is both beautiful and unique. Several screen sensations decided to don my favorite color and the results were just lovely. Dana Delaney chose a beaded bodice Basil Soda Couture gown in a rich dark grape, while others flirted with higher hemlines, floral details, and plunging necklines. Source: WireImage

March Shopping Madness! Icy Lavender

FabSugar — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 05:00:22 -0700

It's time to embrace your feminine side this Spring with icy lavender. This cool hue will instantly electrify a pair of dark denim jeans or even soften a nude palette. Picture these decadent Christian Louboutin Turbella Sandals ($995) paired with a body con LBD for maximum contrast. Hey, a girl can always dream, right?

Jessica Alba in Purple High-Waisted Pants: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 07:00:22 -0800

Check out Jessica Alba in a Victorian-inspired ensemble as she makes her way to the Golden Globes Style Lounge in LA. The actress is wearing high-waisted purple pants, an ivory ruffled top, and suede platform sandals. Certainly an unusual choice for the California cool actress, and unlike anything she has ever worn before. A new year, thus, a new look from Alba - do you love it or hate it?

Fab's 10 Fall Essentials: The Funky Bootie

FabSugar — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 17:00:22 -0700

I've been collecting booties a couple seasons now, so I already have the quintessential black, and I even have the off-kilter gray. Bootie power is still going strong - it's time to mix things up. Many celebrities and fashion folks are looking to rock 'n' roll black leather and gold studs for their tough fix, but I'm digging a little deeper. Glam rock anyone? These Stuart Weitzman Platform Booties ($355) aren't your next door fashionista's bootie. The purple hue is right out of Velvet Goldmine, the brown wooden platform is boogie night ready, and the open toe plays peekaboo.

Coming Through the Piperlime: So Very Berry

Celebrity Style: Jamie-Lynn Sigler

FabSugar — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Any time you want a surefire way to look polished and regal, throw on a purple dress. That's exactly what Jamie-Lynn Sigler did at a fashion party in NYC and look what it did for her. However, she could have gone a size down, as the trapeze style tends to make you look wide. The actress toughened the mix by wearing Christian Louboutin's pleated ankle boots (hot) and a macho watch topped with silver bangles. The long silver pendant necklace breaks up the look and gives it a unique flair.
