Trend Alert: Choppy Ruffles

FabSugar — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 07:00:05 PST

A deconstructed spin on the ruffled dress, the choppy ruffle is a little less dainty and a lot more rock n' roll. It's flatter in shape, and a bit edgier than its frilly counterpart. Zoe Saldana recently attended an event decked out in a midnight blue dress with choppy tiers and chic mesh inserts. She kept her accessories simple, and streamlined the look with a classic pair of Brian Atwood pumps. Try this updated twist yourself by shopping the pieces below.

Celebrity Style: Maria Sharapova

Most of you didn't approve of Maria Sharapova's one-sleeve Lanvin dress, but I think you'll like this mandarin-tiered Stella McCartney number she wore to a recent event. It reveals her gorgeous legs but in a tasteful manner. I like how instead of wearing peep-toe pumps, like many celebs do on the red carpet, she chose unexpected black patent oxford pumps. A textured minaudiere and gold jewels finish off the look perfectly.

The Look For Less: Diane Kruger

It's been while since I featured Fab favorite Diane, so I needed my fix - you don't mind do you?

At the Tod's Fall shopping party in the Hamptons, Diane looked Summer stylish in a Derek Lam black tiered dress, a carefree headband, and a Tod's python clutch. Iced tea in hand, Diane looked the best at the event, but you don't even want to know how much her Lam dress was. And no need, I found a cheaper alternative with just the same amount of hippie chic and some equally fun accessories. We love you Diane!

Trend Alert: Tiered Ruffles

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 05:00:22 PST

Ruffle me this, ruffle me that. You all went gaga over the frills of Spring last week so I thought we could fast forward this trend. Lately, I've been swayed by tiered ruffles. The master of ruffles, Valentino, shows how it's done (pictured). Who can forget Sarah Michelle Gellar's bubbly champagne look in vintage Chloe? Ruffle in the Winter, ruffle in the Summer, ruffle me all over.

Style Guide: What to Wear to Prom

Lauren Conrad — Thu, 03 May 2012 07:59:07 PDT

We are thrilled to share this story from Lauren Conrad! The TV personality, writer, designer, and style maven has 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 week, she's sharing her dress picks for prom.

If you're in high school, there is only one thing on your mind right now: Prom! It's one of the quintessential high school experiences that will stick with you for a lifetime. For most of us, it's the first time you really get to dress up like a princess for a night. And because it is such a special night, it calls for a very special dress.

Back when I was in school, gowns were the go-to dress of choice. (Let me tell you, gowns can get pretty pricey.) Thankfully, prom trends have broadened and shorter hemlines have been embraced.

Without further ado, here are a few of my favorite looks for prom along with my top picks for each look listed below . . .

LC Lauren Conrad Ruffle Chiffon Dress
Paper Crown Wilde Tiered Mini

Oscars: Cameron Diaz

FabSugar — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 17:52:22 PST

Showing off her signature sun-kissed glow and perfectly toned arms, Cameron Diaz looked insanely chic in a cream-colored strapless Gucci Premiere gown, complete with shimmery tiered ruffles at the hem. She rocked a sparkly diamond choker necklace, Salvatore Ferragamo blush satin peep-toe pumps, and an effortless blond bob with her nude ensemble. Although we weren't treated to an ultra leggy Cameron look, we still think this long-and-lean outfit is super polished and pretty. Do you agree?

SAG Awards: Regina King

FabSugar — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:25:47 PST

Regina King hit the SAG Awards in a strapless Alberta Ferretti purple gown embellished with frothy tiered ruffles. The color contrasts perfectly against her skin tone, and we love how she accessorized with luxe gold earrings and a matching clutch. To finish off her look, Regina opted for dramatic eyes via lavender eyeshadow and extralong lashes, a nude lip, and a short, cropped hairstyle. Does she get your vote?

Golden Globes: Dianna Agron

Glee's Dianna Agron donned a fiery red Giles Deacon gown, and upon closer review, we spotted laser-cut swan cutouts along the bodice and the ruffled tiers of the floor-length skirt. To accompany this red-hot number, Dianna wore a solitaire diamond bracelet and diamond stud earrings. She kept her hair sweet and swept back, her lips a sexy matte red hue, and her eyes lined with just a hint of blue. Do you love Dianna's red ensemble?

Jessica Szohr showed off her rocker aesthetic at the Met Gala tonight in a short black mini and a razor straight hairdo. The dress, adorned with metallic tinsel and tiered ruffles, emoted a fun and youthful vibe, but do you think it was suitable for such a high-fashion event?

New York Fashion Week Looks Your Lil Girl Can Wear Now!

Leta Shy — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 08:30:22 PST

New York Fashion Week is over, and while we saw an amazingly eclectic mix of upcoming trends for this Fall, there were some seasonal mainstays that will continue to be popular. Lace, fur, and shearling were featured prominently, so if you want to get your lil girl ready for back-to-school trends (or just get a jump on the trends this Winter), stock up on some of these cute - and on sale - clothes now!

Honeysuckle is the color of the year for 2011, and pink pants like the Ralph Lauren Blakely Skinny Corduroys ($25) will still be a hit for Fall. The 77kids by American Eagle Watercolor Ruffle Dress ($35) makes a similar tiered statement as that seen on the runways at New York Fashion Week. A faux fur jacket like this one from Gymboree ($26) will keep babe on-trend and warm. Gap's Lace Tier Dress ($27) is similar to Marchesa's Victorian-inspired Fall collection, and is season-ready by just adding a pair of your lil one's favorite tights. The Ralph Lauren Tavin Suede Shearling Boots ($50) are a nice alternative to ubiquitous Uggs, and look similar to the amazing shearling boots on the Marc by Marc Jacobs runway!
