Battle of the Pretty Princesses: Eugenie vs. Beatrice

Brittney Stephens — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 04:14:59 PDT

Princess Eugenie of York and Princess Beatrice of York arrived at Westminster Abbey wearing two gorgeous outfits - a bright blue, floral-printed dress by Vivienne Westwood and a nude A-line dress from Valentino Couture, respectively. Princess Eugenie went for a colorful look, wearing a bold blue dress with a voluminous skirt, flowered jacket, and peacock-feathered hat. She accessorized with bronze pumps and a matching box clutch. Princess Beatrice, on the other hand, opted for a subdued, neutral look - she wore a dusty-pink, A-line belted coat with nude t-strap heels and a very amazing, very Lady Gaga-esque fascinator. Which princess do you think looked the prettiest?

Ginnifer Goodwin in Red Lace Valentino Couture: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 16:00:22 PDT

There are certain dresses I can't tell right off the bat if I love or hate. Ginnifer Goodwin's red lace Valentino Couture dress she wore to the Genesis Awards is one of them. On one hand, the color is punchy, the lace romantic. On the other, it's not coming together as beautifully as I had hoped. The silhouette is quite matronly, and the taupe pumps don't help the situation. What do you think?

Oscars Red Carpet: Sarah Larson

FabSugar — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 16:13:44 PST

Former cocktail waitress Sarah Larson is one lucky lady: not only is she on the arm of George Clooney, but she's also at the Oscars! But lucky doesn't necessarily equal fashionable. Her strapless Valentino Couture gown is pretty, but not Oscar-worthy. Do you agree?

Spring 2008 Couture: Valentino

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 10:03:16 PST

After 45 years of dressing women impeccably, Valentino said his last goodbyes yesterday with one final couture collection.

The exit was consummately Valentino. Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu, and newly-appointed Valentino designer Alessandra Facchinetti witnessed a parade of bright bubble coats, tiered gowns, floral prints and ladylike suiting. The finale was the ultimate symbol of Val's contribution to fashion: the red dress. A stream of models wearing that one red gown filed out at the end, sending the retiring designer off in style, as no other finale could. Farewell, Valentino!

Fall 2007 Couture: Valentino

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 09:55:55 PDT

Valentino really went all out this time around - but why shouldn't he? He's celebrating his 45th anniversary in fashion!

No doubt about it, the show was extravagant: marabou, sequins, fur, and lamé went every which way. Karl Lagerfeld, Giorgio Armani, Donatella Versace, Tom Ford, and Diane von Furstenberg all populated the front row. The models looked dressed and ready for a ball, and there was plenty of Valentino's trademark old-school glamour to go around.

Opulently detailed suits in white, grey, and black were followed by gorgeous cocktail dresses in gold, silver, black, purple, and pink. For the finale, Valentino sent endless amounts of those red carpet-worthy floor-length gowns he does so well: bejeweled, satiny, neck-plunging absolutely divine gowns. And of course, the most strikingly beautiful dress was in his favorite color: red. I can't wait to see what happens on his 50th anniversary!

Couture Fashion Week: Valentino

Hannah Weil — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 08:05:03 PST

Gowns swathed in toile-inspired prints and soft, wallpaper florals hinted at Jane Austin era romance at Valentino. There's a distinctly feminine feel, and a hint of both Parisian decadence and Victorian propriety in the collars, bows, and capes that topped delicate silver-embellished gowns and sheer-topped confections. Everything feels emphatically pretty - the softness, the bow and floral-appliqué adornments; even the slipper-style loafers are done up in the same florals and details.

Trends: Sheer, antique and toile-inspired florals, Victorian collars.
Colors: White, cream, and soft pink, blue, and green.
Key Look: The soft floral-print and embellished strapless gown; the creamy white shift.
Accessories: Embellished and printed loafers.
Who Would Wear It: Claire Danes, Kate Bosworth; the ultra-femme red-carpet beauties.

Angelina, Michelle, Zoe, Viola, and More Bring Glamour to the SAG Awards Red Carpet

Lauren Turner — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 21:41:40 PST

Award season saw another glamorous night with the Screen Actors Guild Awards in LA this evening. Stars from both the big and small screens brought even more great looks with plenty of ladies stepping out in neutrals. Presenter Zoe Saldana glowed in a white Givenchy Couture gown straight from the Paris runways while Bridesmaids' Kristen Wiig chose a Balenciaga halter. Viola Davis, who won best actress and best picture for The Help, got gorgeous in a strapless Marchesa and her winning costar Octavia Spencer donned Tadashi Shoji. The Good Wife's Julianna Margulies wore a custom beaded Calvin Klein Collection as she arrived on the arm of her husband Keith Lieberthal.

There were a few fun pops of color this evening, including a group that matched the carpet in red. Best actress nominee Michelle Williams looked sweet in a lace Valentino gown and Lanvin clutch and Kyra Sedgwick showed skin in a cutout Pucci that displayed her rib tattoo of her family's initials. Modern Family's Sofia Vergara continued her sexy streak in a strapless pink Marchesa dress and Lorraine Schwartz jewels, which were front and center when she took the stage with her costars to accept the best TV comedy ensemble statue. Emily Blunt got bright in a green Oscar de la Renta next to husband John Krasinski, and The Help's Jessica Chastain went with a bold blue Calvin Klein.

Angelina Jolie led the pack of black looks in a slinky Jenny Packham gown and Ashlee Simpson followed suit in a sequin number by the same designer when she arrived with boyfriend and Boardwalk Empire nominee Vincent Piazza. Emma Stone mixed things up with a short McQueen and 30 Rock's Tina Fey went strapless in Versace. Melissa McCarthy, who was nominated for Bridesmaids, joined the dark-hued dresses in navy Badgley Mischka. There was so much exciting fashion and beauty on tonight's red carpet so be sure to vote on all of Fab and Bella's SAG Awards polls here!
