Style For Style: Posing For Award-Show Season

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 16:00:22 PST

At this point, the Golden Globes probably won't go as smoothly as previous years. Many actors won't be crossing the picket lines on Sunday to get to the show, but just because there won't be any strutting on the red carpet that doesn't mean we're not ready for our close up. Learn The Art of Posing and create your own red carpet this year with fun tips and lessons.

To find out how to pose like a pro,

Lesson One, Cuddling a Pet: Stop walking and get in position. Bend and lift pet with a slight squat. Stand, cuddle, and pose!
Lesson Three, Celebrity Friend: Walk up separate and pose alone. Meet up with your friend. Link up and laugh out loud.
Lesson Five, Head to Shoulder: In position. Slightly turn head. Lower chin and give a sexy look!
Lesson Seven, Leg Cross: Stand in position. Slightly raise hands and lift leg. Gracefully turn your front ankle and pose.
Lesson Eight, Over Shoulder: Stand in position. Turn around, put hands on hips. Slowly turn your head back and pose.

A First Look at Versace's Fall/Winter 2012 Campaign: Donatella Would Wear Every Look

Lucky — Tue, 22 May 2012 13:17:05 PDT

Lucky magazine is one of our favorite sources for great shopping tips. We're thrilled to share this fabulous story from our friends at Lucky!

Summer officially arrives in less than a week but the Versace team is already thinking about next season. The brand just released its Fall/Winter 2012 campaign and although the clothes are technically for cooler weather, we wouldn't mind wearing them now. The über sexy Italian label isn't really big on covering up, so most of the pieces would probably work for a breezy May or June night. But since nothing hits stores for at least two or three months, we're happy to obsess over the pictures first.

The black and white images feature model Elza Luijendijk with a severe blonde bob, posing on chain-covered cement bricks with big moody photographs of the ocean in the background. The styling was clearly influenced by head designer Donatella; we could see her wearing every single look on the red carpet-especially that black mini dress with the knee-high boots.

Hollywood Secrets For Long, Lean Legs!

Self — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 04:30:18 PDT

We are pumped to share one of our favorite stories from Self here on FitSugar!

Angelina Jolie, Jessica Biel, Cameron Diaz . . . Who hasn't watched their favorite movie stars walk the red carpet and grown a little envious of their mile-long legs? Granted, most leading ladies are blessed with superior DNA, but that doesn't mean you can't score long, lean gams too! "What is possible for others is possible for you," says Barry's Bootcamp cofounder Barry Jay, the celebrity trainer behind Eliza Dushku's, Stacy Keibler's, and Juliette Lewis's fit physiques. "But be patient! If you want legs that look like Jessica Biel's, do the work!"

That means ditching the late-night pizza runs and sticking to a healthy diet. Also remember to maintain proper form during those calorie-torching sweat sessions or all of your hard work will be for naught. "Form is everything," says Jay. "Don't just do it. Do it right!"

To get started, incorporate these three moves using a set of five- to eight-pound hand weights (or set a timer for one minute per exercise if hand weights are unavailable) into your regular routine twice a week. "Good legs are important because they help your whole body change," says Jay. "You burn the most calories when you work out your legs. They are the foundation of your body, a gift, and they deserve to look their best!"
