Celebrity Style: Brittany Snow

FabSugar — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 10:00:22 -0700

Good girl, bad girl. You have to admire a girl who can do a fashion double take. Though risky, Brittany took a chance in her black PVC mini, white tank and killer Jimmy Choo studded heels at the Teen Choice Awards Pre-Party. Works for me. For those who aren't into kinky PVC, I provided another well lacquered black skirt.

Caslon® Scoop Neck Rib Knit Tank - $18.00	Shiny Late Night Mini Skirt - $32.00
Jimmy Choo Groove patent sandals - $775.00	Gara Danielle Gold Link Chain Necklace - $173.00
D&G Crinkled Metallic Pencil Skirt - $225.00	Gossard London - Desire Bra w/ Removable Straps (Black) - $57.00
Cole Haan Weave Clutch - $250.00

How Would YOU Wear It? Kate Moss

FabSugar — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 04:55:55 -0700

Kate looks more like she's going to an S&M convention than to the Glastonbury Festival in her PVC leggings. Editorially speaking, I think PVC leggings can look very high-fashion and edgy. But when worn on the streets, or to a music festival in this case, they can look downright scary. What's more, Kate's knee-high boots are way too fancy for a concert where there's clearly mud all over the place.

I would have ditched the PVC leggings and high heel boots and would have worn a more casual ensemble - remember how she made fisherman rubber boots look chic at last year's festival? I would keep the loose black top and pair it with a pair of skinnies and (destructible) flat boots.

How would YOU wear it?

Who Wore It Better? The Cone Bra

FabSugar — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 05:50:22 -0700

Not many dare to wear a cone bra, and in public at that. But the fearless Madonna and Lady Gaga have taken the leap. The former made cone bras famous in 1990 during her Blonde Ambition tour. She wore her ivory cone bra-cum-bodysuit over baggy black pants for her performance (was this one of her Jean Paul Gaultier creations?). Nineteen years later, Lady Gaga is wearing her black PVC cone bra on the streets with a black leather pencil skirt and Yves Saint Laurent studded bag. Clearly Madonna rocked the cone bra first, but the question is - who wore it better?

The Look for Less: Lanvin Patent Leather Trench Coat

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 04:28:35 -0800

Dominatrices and Matrix fans will be drawn to this dramatic, patent leather black trench. This classic fabric and classic clothing item has been reinvented to create something very modern, if not, futuristic. I love patent leather on shoes and bags, but a big dose of it, like this Lanvin Patent Leather Trench Coat, $2,870, from their Spring 2007 runway, is not for the faint of heart. I love it as a showpiece, but it's a tad too much for me. Lucky for the rest of us, I have found a Look for Less for this daring Lanvin trench.

WTF?! Elle Channeling Axl?

FabSugar — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 16:00:22 -0700

Nothing tops off a Fab day like a little Axl Rose. Some of you already know the truth - I am a Guns n' Roses fanatic. I usually keep my obsession out of Fab because I understand not everyone shares my love affair - for the band, the music, the Axl - but this was too good to not share.

On your left you have Elle MacPherson at the Belstaff show at Milan Fashion Week. She is looking quite rock n' roll, quite masculine, and quite like Axl, during his glory years of course. And here is an example of the turbulent front man, in a purple leather jacket, signature bandanna and shiny PVC leggings. With all the long blonde hair, leather, and even some swagger, you have to admit there are funny similarities here. Who knew Elle could channel Axl? Wonders never cease...
