Manoush Multicolored Tiered Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 13:00:22 -0700

Am I looking at a dress or a piñata? No disrespect to Manoush because I normally like her designs, but this Manoush Multicolored Tiered Dress ($480) should have never left the showroom. That amount of tiers wouldn't even look good on a stick-skinny model. Maybe, just maybe if it were all one color it would be better, but the colorblock makes it silly. Am I being way harsh?

The Look For Less: Luella Tiered Floral Mini Skirt

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 08:00:22 -0700

Luella's fun, floral frocks have been making their rounds but I'm most smitten with the tiered floral mini skirt that bug-eyed model Masha Tylena wore at the Spring '08 show. The designer has proven that little girls aren't the only ones who can pull off this style. Now if only she could have made it more affordable . . .

Forever 21 is no stranger to high-fashion duplications, but this Floral Ruffle Skirt ($18) is one of the best so far. The colors aren't dead on, and the tiers are much bigger, but it's equally fabulous and much less pricey. Follow Luella and pair it with a casual tee, lace-up heels, and a cardi to get a playful Spring look!

Ruffles are one of the easiest ways to exude femininity. And this Satin Silk 3-Tier Mini Dress sure has some mega ruffles going on! What sold me on this dress is the royal blue hue, which takes it from potentially prissy to amazingly rockin'! Wear it to a friend's engagement party and you'll be the big hit. But shhh, don't tell your pal about your plan to razzle dazzle her guests with your bold party frock!

The current bidding price is $16.99 and the auction ends on July 5. Good luck and happy bidding!

Trend Alert: Tiered Ruffles

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 05:00:22 -0800

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.

Disney star Demi looked darling in a pale pink tiered dress with a crystal embellished neckline by Jenny Packham tonight. The sweet hue provides cool contrast with her dark locks. Nude pumps and low-key jewels are mellow accompaniments. Love or hate?

Next we have the always elegant Nicole Kidman. She and hubby Keith Urban walked the red carpet together, Nicole wearing a delicate one-shoulder tiered lace gown. It's a soft look, finished with large hoop earrings. Do you approve?

Who Wore It Better? Thread Social Tiered Silk Dress

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 06:00:22 -0700

We all loved how Famke Janssen styled her black and pink silk Thread Social dress with a studded clutch and black heels to the premiere of her latest movie Turn the River. But how do you feel about Tinsley Mortimer in the same fetching frock? She was spotted on location for Gossip Girl in Long Island wearing the ivory version accessorizing with silver heels and a matching clutch. I like the dark and light opposition but which look do you prefer?

Carrie's Country Music Awards Madness

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:00:22 -0800

It's official: Carrie Underwood is the Beyonce of the country music world. Last night, at the CMAs festivities, the songstress stole the spotlight with her magical voice, and more importantly, her stunning frocks. The country singer changed a whopping 10 times during the show. I like how she experimented with different styles via sequin minis, country belle gowns, tiered frocks, and even a sexy two-piece performance ensemble complete with sequin shorties. No doubt, Carrie loves fashion as much as she loves music. Keep on to experience Carrie madness . . .

The Look for Less: Ella Moss Cheryl Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 00:25:33 -0700

It looks like the v-neck tiered trapeze dress is starting to be a big trend for the Summer. Sarah Michelle Gellar has already been spotted prancing around NYC in a similar Tart version, and even Juicy Couture has come out with one. This Ella Moss Cheryl Dress, $163, or a similar version, should be on your must-have list. The ruching at each tier makes it so fun and girly. But I'm not so sure a jersey dress is worth $163.

Isn't this Forever 21 Tiered Jersey Dress, $25, practically identical? It even has four tiers like the one above. No one will ever know it's not Ella Moss if you don't tell them! And it's definitely worth paying $25 for a Summer dress.
