Who Wore It Better? Elizabeth and James Sequin Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 16:00:22 -0800

What guts Carrie Underwood has to wear a dress that cool girl Mary-Kate Olsen both designed and wore. The Elizabeth and James sequin dress was originally worn by Mary-Kate back in September at New York Fashion Week. The country singer wore it recently also while in NYC. Who do you think wore it better?

How Would YOU Wear It? Paris Hilton

FabSugar — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 13:00:22 -0800

Paris, oh Paris - did you get dressed in the dark? You all know that I despise matchy matchiness and this is precisely why. I can't believe that she voluntarily wore this ensemble for a night out in LA. There are several issues at hand. First, fedoras are a thing of the past. Second, the head-to-toe brown makes her look like a long piece of...kebab.

Paris should have kept the sequin tank and leopard pumps, but done away with the rest. A pair of Kate Moss' favorite J Brand Lovestory jeans and a simple bronze clutch would have made for a far more stylish and flattering look.

How would YOU wear it?

Celeb Style: Lauren Conrad

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 11:15:22 -0800

Long time no see, Lauren, you look Fab in sequins! The former reality star attended a video-game launch party in LA wearing a sizzlin' outfit. Her black-sequined blazer looks dazzling over a basic minidress, while her strappy Jimmy Choos add danger to her feet. Lauren in sequins feels, and looks, so right.

The Look For Less: Kate Spade Sequined Long Shoulder Bag

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:50:22 -0800

Each year, I look out for a new shiny bag I can make my partner in crime for the holidays. This Kate Spade Sequined Long Shoulder Bag ($375) totally fits the bill. I dig the long strap and how the texture is imperfect. Bummer it's so expensive.

Designer Spotlight: Pavon by Luz & Victoria

Shine on, you crazy diamond. That's what Pavon by Luz & Victoria's Spring/Summer '10 says. It's called Odyssey, after all. Step into the galactic world to feel the groove just in time for Halloween. Shoulders are sharp, sequins are blinding - there's no such thing as timid around here. My favorite piece is this sequin cutout zip bandage dress (left). It looks like a fusion of Herve Leger and Preen. It demands a gutsy, sexy chick to rock it. Like what you see? Peruse the online store for more funky fabulousness.

Trend Alert: Glam Rockin' Sequins

FabSugar — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 04:50:11 -0700

Sequins used to come with a cheesy, Vegas connotation, but not anymore. This time, the popular embellishment has been revived to exude a darker, dank feel. Malin Akerman knows what I mean. Her glam rockin' sequins, via an Elise Overland frock, are the epitome of cool. Here's a tip: make sure to accessorize with funky footwear and jewels to downplay the shimmer. Other than that, rock on sister, rock on.

Ashish Sequined One-Shoulder Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

If you're looking to score four trends with one dress this Ashish One-Shoulder Dress ($895) is the way to go. One-shoulder. Animal print. Sequins. Mini. Check. But, I'm tripping over the neon green hue. A little iguana-esque, no? I'd be all over it in navy. What do you think?

The Look For Less: Theory Sequin Skirt

FabSugar — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 15:00:22 -0800

In case you're not yet sequined out, there is one more option for those who want to partake in the trend, but on a minimal basis. One form of participation is via this Theory Roxanne Sequin Skirt ($308). It's flirty and stylish, but a teeny bit expensive considering you'll only wear it a handful of times.

Wearing a sequined miniskirt is a bold move, but I say go bold in this Victoria's Secret Sequin Miniskirt ($98). It's as equally sparkly as the Theory version, only it has handy pockets and a satin-trimmed waistband. Plus, at under a $100, it's the perfect way to go sequined without going bankrupt.

Look of the Day: Sequin Lovah

FabSugar — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

I like the way sergeantkero wears her sequins in the daytime. To tone down the shine, the sequin lovah paired her shimmery navy dress with a black blazer and sliced booties. The dark pieces balance out her flash, and I love how the diminutive palliette provide a subtle sparkle.

Here's what she has on:

Blazer: Vintage
Dress: Forever 21
Shoes: Belle
Bracelets: Unknown

Congrats to sergeantkero!
