Trend Alert: Two-Tone Clutches

FabSugar — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 09:00:22 PDT

One color is just not interesting enough anymore. Agreed. Colorblocking is always fun, and in small doses, like on a Marc Jacobs clutch, it's even more fun. Contrasting black and white is decidedly mod, while tonal colors are downright funky. Two-tone never looked so Fab.

Look of the Day: Bold and Breezy

Fab reader MimisMuneca has us lusting after this gorgeously bright and breezy H&M maxi dress. More than that, though, she totally nailed the complete look by adding bold accents. Let's take a closer look. She paired a cool yellow clutch, statement gold cuff, and blue and green two-toned sandals with her aquamarine printed maxi dress. The sum of its stylish parts screams "Summer," and we're all for a pretty and polished ensemble that takes no time at all to re-create.

Congrats, MimisMuneca!

Fab reader Dadouchic has provided us with a brighter-than-bright outlook on the denim trend. How did she do it? First, she paired a silky orange button up blouse with white skinny jeans. Then, outfitted the look with a black skinny belt, a bold oversized pink envelope clutch, and Zara's colorfully two-toned sandals. To finish, she added a gold watch, a stack of friendship bracelets, a gold pendant necklace, and modified cat-eye sunglasses. It's Summer-chic and perfect for an evening of cocktails al fresco.

Congrats Dadouchic!

Eva Mendes made her way down the Met Gala red carpet in a tangerine Prada dress adorned with plexi and resin stones on the bodice. Eva was just one of the many glamorous stars who got in on the peplum trend tonight, and this dress not only works well for her figure, but looks great against her skin tone as well. She accessorized her look with a two-tone box clutch, diamond drop earrings, and a giant coral cocktail ring. Are you feeling Eva's red-carpet look?

Stella McCartney Fall 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 07:41:15 PST

Stella McCartney was in a sporty state of mind for her Fall 2012 collection (most likely inspired by her recent gig designing Olympic uniforms for the British team), showing bold color and athletic-inspired shapes. With a magical touch, McCartney injected a dose of luxe into every piece; lavish slouchy trousers were dipped in shocking cobalt and dark pink hues, while a selection of textural knitted sweaters looked cozy enough to sleep in. Outerwear also highlighted bigger shapes, but not overwhelmingly so, via polished coats with striped bomber collars and modern zip details. On the opposite end of the spectrum, McCartney showed fitted silhouettes via structured skirt suits and dresses. The latter featured silk and wool renditions with a sporty fit-and-flare shape, while evening wear options showed longer silhouettes with intricate embroidery. McCartney accessories are sure to leave a few smitten as well; we predict an antsy waiting list for the two-tone pumps, booties, and oversize clutches. More details from Stella McCartney's effortless Fall 2012 collection below.

Trends: Slouchy trousers, oversize coats, sporty details.
Colors: Black, blue, pink, brown, olive green, white, taupe.
Key Piece: We loved the sporty luxe outerwear and skater-inspired wool dresses.
Accessories: Two-tone boots and pumps, oversize clutches.
Who Would Wear It: Girls with a modern and minimal approach to dressing like Kate Bosworth and Zoe Saldana.

Look of the Day: Double Topper

FabSugar — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 03:00:34 PST

Something about Fab reader Greaseandglamour's sophisticated ensemble reminded us of Upper East Side-meets-Gossip Girl luxe and to (double) top it off, we love how she made it distinctly her own. First, she paired a collared blouse with slouchy Maison Martin Margiela sweatpants. Then, she put not one, but two coats - a slick trench and a white fur jacket - on to keep the outfit layered and Winter-to-Spring ready. Her gold collar necklace and large two-toned portfolio clutch provided the final touches to a sleek look.

Congrats Greaseandglamour!

Cameron Diaz, who presented alongside a Zuhair Murad-clad Jennifer Lopez, went with a strapless Gucci number and nominee Rooney Mara picked Givenchy.

Natalie had a playful vintage polka-dot dress from Christian Dior as she arrived on the arm of fiancé Benjamin Millepied and Emma Stone, who presented alongside Ben Stiller, tied up her Giambattista Valli ensemble with bright lips. Best actress nominee Michelle Williams accented her orange Christian Dior dress with a pink clutch while Viola Davis brought another pop of color in green Vera Wang and presenter Penelope Cruz showed shoulder in Armani Privé. Adding to the rainbow of shades was also Melissa McCarthy in a custom blush Marina Rinaldi and Maya Rudolph in an embellished purple Johanna Johnson.

Black was big at tonight's Oscars with Angelina Jolie leading the way in a sexy slitted velvet Atelier Versace gown as she arrived with Brad Pitt and his parents Bill and Jane. Bridesmaids' Rose Byrne sparkled in Vivienne Westwood sequins while presenter Tina Fey chose Carolina Herrera. Jessica Chastain and Sandra Bullock mixed up the basic black with Jessica in a gold embroidered McQueen gown that she accented with $2 million of Harry Winston jewels and Sandra in a two-tone Marchesa.
