Gossip Girl Fashion Quiz: "Dan de Fleurette"

FabSugar — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Last night's Gossip Girl was filled with fashion-packed fun as Tory Burch, Georgina Chapman from Marchesa, and Tyra Banks all made appearances. Serena's power-prowess suit may not have landed her a spot in the fashion biz, but it got her a PR job that was just as exciting. Too bad the rest of her friends couldn't be as optimistic. Jenny had problems adjusting to her role as the new Queen Bee at Constance, while Blair continued her uphill battle at NYU. Amidst all of the drama, were you paying attention to everyone's savvy fashion sense?

Fab Flash: Move Over Martha and Oprah, Make Room for Tyra

FabSugar — Wed, 28 May 2008 10:00:22 -0700

Oh, Tyra. Who knew she would go from model and fresh-faced actress on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air to being the next Martha or Oprah - to being a super brand. Tyra has become a household name, and she's got the upcoming cover of The New York Times Magazine to prove it.

This Sunday, our favorite model mentor will grace the cover of the Sunday weekly with an article about how she is striving to become the next female powerhouse. As the NY Times puts it, "Like her hero, Martha Stewart, Banks wants, most of all, for her name to immediately suggest a distinct point of view. Her brand, like her trademark 'tough but still smiling' smile, is consistent in all her shows: serious about the frivolous; empathetic and empowering, and always, always aimed at young women, across all races. It's girly TV with a punch." We all love her dramatic antics on America's Next Top Model, and she's got the looks and bravada to captivate an audience, so I buy it. Do you?

Which Versace Gown Was Your Favorite on the America's Next Top Model Finale?

FabSugar — Fri, 16 May 2008 07:00:22 -0700

I don't want to give too much away, but I was quite surprised by the judges' decision on America's Next Top Model finale show. If you want to know the winner, refer to BuzzSugar. Here, let's focus on what's most important: the Versace gowns Donatella handpicked for the runway show. They were all beauties and I have to say, Anya and Whitney wore them better than well. But is it me or did Whitney get the more eye-catching dresses? Still, Anya dazzled in her metallic number, as did Whitney in her pink. Both frocks matched the girls' modeling personalities, but out of the four, which Versace gown was your favorite?

Which America's Next Top Model Was the Fiercest Warrior?

FabSugar — Thu, 01 May 2008 15:00:08 -0700

Last night's episode of America's Next Top Model was aptly named "We are Spartans!" The remaining five girls - Fatima, Dominique, Katarzyna, Anya, and Whitney - channeled their inner warriors, first by getting gladiator-fighting lessons, and then by dressing the part. I quickly learned that there's a vast difference between how authentic of a warrior they looked and how they actually performed. Like, Fatima appeared a pretty warrior princess, but fought like a stiff, old man. Dominique looked hard but posed too delicately. Anya nailed both the look and the act. She looked good and used all the gladiator moves she had been taught. Which ANTM do you think was the fiercest warrior?
