Found! Rachel Bilson's Ruched White Tee

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 07:00:22 PDT

Any white top that can hold my attention for more than two seconds is a good one. This 3.1 Phillip Lim Ruched Sleeve Top ($175) that Rachel Bilson wore out in NYC is unlike many other white T-shirts out there. It serves the purpose of being effortlessly casual but piques your interest because of the delicately ruched sleeves. And, it's relatively inexpensive for being by Phillip Lim, wouldn't you say? I wasn't lying when I said it's all about the shoulder love!

Vera Wang Voile Strapless Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 08:40:33 PDT

I'm iffy about this Vera Wang Lavender Cotton Voile Strapless Dress, $430, posted by SaraSmile in the Love It or Hate It? group. I would totally rock it if it didn't have those huge, heavy pockets. For such a delicate frock, the pockets are too harsh. Plus, they take your attention away from the pretty ruching at the bodice. Do you agree?

Golden Globes: Tina Fey

We did a double take when we saw Tina Fey hit the red carpet. The comedienne went totally glam for the Golden Globes, opting for a ruched and textured Oscar de la Renta confection. She complemented the cranberry-hued gown with a glittering plum clutch, then played up the glam-girl vibe with voluminous waves and megawatt jewels from Kwiat. How did Tina do?

Debra Messing was classically beautiful in a black one-shouldered Monique Lhuillier gown. From the intricate ruching to the dramatic train, Debra's dress is styled to perfection. Meanwhile, green and purple gem earrings and a matching ring inject extra sparkle to her exquisite look. For makeup and hair, Debra went with a tousled updo, dramatic smoky eyes, and frosty pink lips. What's your vote?

Critics' Choice Awards: Busy Philipps

Busy Philipps knows what's up; no longer does matching one's lipstick to one's dress have to be considered old fashioned. A v-shaped neckline gives a sexy vibe to her vibrant pink gown, and ruched detailing adds a figure-flattering shape. She tops it all off with a tousled updo, peach-toned nail polish, and dainty earrings. Is this a winning ensemble?

Rick Owens Spring 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 20:37:45 PDT

“I always resented the idea of radical silhouettes or exaggeration being confined to the runway,” said Owens, when describing his Spring collection. “That kind of extremity should be accessible all day long.” That said, wearability was key for Owens, as seen through the simple cotton and leather fabrics he juxtaposed into a '60s couture-inspired line. Long, lean pillar skirts were the focal point, paired with a range of structured and voluminous tops. Most notably were the array of modern patchwork jackets and exaggerated bell-sleeved renditions. Meanwhile, flowy draped skirts and intricately ruched gowns provided a softer touch to the collection. The color palette stayed true to his aesthetic, featuring predominately black, white, and gray hues, but there was also experimentation with a warm clay hue. “There’s no irony," said Owens. "It’s not particularly witty. There’s no menace. This time, it’s really pure, simple grace.” More details from the collection below.

Trends: Minimalism, pillar skirts, draped skirts, patchwork jackets, volume.
Colors: Black, white, gray, clay.
Key Look: The patchwork jackets with bell sleeves and pillar skirts.
Accessories: Minimal platform sandals.
Who Would Wear It: Girls who crave strong, yet minimal looks.

Emmys: Amber Riley

Glee standout Amber Riley hit the Emmys red carpet in a soft, lavender-hued gown with a ruched bodice and beautiful flowing train. Aside from the striking shoulder embellishments, Amber keeps the rest understated, choosing just a pair of diamond studs and playing up a beautifully smoky eye. What do you think of her look?

Lauren Conrad's Dress Code Tips For the Business Professional

Lauren Conrad — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 11:30:14 PDT

We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with LaurenConrad! The TV personality, writer, designer, and style maven started LaurenConrad.com, a social networking site that features daily posts by Lauren on all of our favorite topics - fashion, beauty, food, party planning - and Lauren will be sharing her latest fashion finds with Fab every month. This month, Lauren's got the perfect answer to your business dress code questions.

To kick off my Dress Coding series, today I’ll be cracking the code behind “business professional” dress, also known as “business formal.”
If you’re a fashionable girl working in a buttoned-up, ultra conservative world, dressing professionally is an absolute must. Unfortunately, professional settings are not exactly friendly to the fashion forward. Luckily, you can maintain a level of style by working in fashionable elements through subtle accessories and chic silhouettes.
Business professional attire for women is very similar to what men are expected to wear: The Power Suit. No, this doesn’t mean you have to wear a boxy jacket, pinstripe pants and a tie… Instead, opt for a slim cut pantsuit, a skit and jacket combination, or a structured (and modest) dress.

Donna Karan Spring 2012 Runway

FabSugar — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 15:54:00 PDT

Donna Karan's Spring 2012 runway channeled a strong tribal feel with muted earthy notes, wild prints, and spiked accessories, paired with slicked back ponytails and bare faces - save for a dark lip on the models. The ruched body-hugging dresses throughout the line continued that fierce feminine silhouette the designer is known for - check out the full runway here for more, and read our editor's full review of the collection.
