Celebrity Style: Gwyneth Paltrow

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 02:00:22 -0700

Gwyneth is a wife, mommy, actress, and has her own website. Still, she always looks super stylish and put together, even at the airport. If that doesn't inspire us to always put our best foot forward, then I don't know what will. In her latest newsletter, she talks about her need for functional fashion so her outfit here makes sense. She threw on comfy leggings, flat Bottega Veneta riding boots, a patent Tod's bag, and a gray scarf to provide some color. Fabulous and travel-ready.

FabSugar — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Gwyneth Paltrow's role in Tod's Pashmy Dream doesn't stray far from her reality. The short film, directed by Dennis Hopper, portrays, Gwyneth as a famous star in Italy. While interviewing with a dapper reporter, Gwyneth gets bombarded by the paparazzi and makes a run for it — ditching her precious Tod's Pashmy bag. The little adventure continues with the reporter chasing Gwyneth around town trying to return her Pashmy, all of course, with it casually slung across his shoulders. From the mystical flame blowers to the whimsical soundtrack, this mini movie makes for a fun six-minute break. Enjoy!

This Week's Fab Favorite: Gwyneth Paltrow

FabSugar — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 15:45:08 -0700

Gwyneth Paltrow is one of the few women who has the ability to make bright colors look as chic as black. Perhaps it's because she knows how to balance her loud hues with moody accessories. Soak in the actress's latest look in Milan. She continues her stylish streak in a vivid orange pleated Derek Lam dress, patent black slingback sandals, and a black patent Tod's bag.

Given the soft details — the ruffles and the pleats — you would expect the color of the dress to be peach or dusty rose. Instead, it comes at you in an unexpectedly bold way. My favorite detail is the off-center ruffles; they do a good job of making the girly trend less obnoxious. This look makes a big statement but maintains an air of seriousness. I say, if you're going to go color, go bright like Gwyn.

Celebrity Style: Carla Bruni-Sarkozy

FabSugar — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Let's play first lady of France dressup. Carla looks every bit the part after a visit to the Met in New York — Bentley in tow. I wish I could browse endless walls of art wearing an origami folded neck skirt suit, Tod's flats, and a perfect little Dior bag. Carla proves you can still look buttoned-up and sophisticated in flats (sigh). This is a great work or interview look so pay attention to this first lady.

Gwyneth Paltrow in Biker Shorts: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 08:00:22 -0700

I know Gwyneth Paltrow wears biker leggings when working out with pal Madonna, but I didn't know she also wears them out at night. Perhaps she took note from Prada's resort collection. During an evening out in London with friends Stella McCartney and Kate Hudson, Gwyn wore a flowy black skirt over biker shorts, a black blazer, a blingin' statement necklace, and Oxford loafers by Tod's. The leggings and loafers help counterbalance the femininity of the skirt and necklace. Is Gwyn onto something or is this look a flop?

Eco-Nudists Go Naked to Save the Planet & Paltrow's Fur Furor

CitizenSugar — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 07:46:39 -0700

Want to help the planet? Then what are you doing sitting there all dressed and everything? The newest wave in eco-activism is all natural, sans a stitch of clothing. Gwyneth Paltrow may be wishing she'd followed that example after her deal with Italian designer Tod's and resulting ad showing her wearing fox fur and fur-lined boots has earned her heat from animal rights groups.

Gwyneth has been known for her embrace of holistic practices, yoga, vegetarian husband, and pal and vegan designer, Stella McCartney — but this campaign stands to erase that cred. The director of Respect for Animals, said: "Gwyneth Paltrow should be ashamed. I can only assume that Paltrow either is ignorant of the facts or lacks human decency and compassion." Friends have even said that Gwyneth's decision will flay her close friendship with Stella McCartney.

If Gwyneth wants to get back on track, maybe she can embrace the naked eco-movement? To see the story and a cheeky protest,
