Who Wore It Better? Sheer Black Maxi Dress

FabSugar — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 05:00:22 -0700

It's a battle of the supermodels. Bring it! First, Stephanie Seymour attended the 2008 Costume Institute Gala in this revealing sheer black maxi dress, which she chose to accessorize with long earrings. To the horror (or excitement) of photographers, Stephanie's nipple pasties showed with each flash. Next, and more recently, Naomi Campbell went to a dinner in honor of Nelson Mandela in the same sexy dress. I beg to ask the question: Is this really an appropriate dress to wear when hanging out with the president of South Africa? But back to who wore it better. Which see-through supermodel wins your vote?

Who Wore It Better? Dolce & Gabbana Polka Dot Skirt

FabSugar — Wed, 14 May 2008 04:00:22 -0700

Spotted: Sarah Silverman and Diane Keaton wearing Dolce & Gabbana's polka dot skirt within one week from one another. Funny girl Silverman wore the skirt with a black cardigan (hello cleavage), funky striped gloves, and open-toe pumps last week at The Met's Costume Institute Gala. Keaton, on the other hand, opted to pair the skirt with a crisp white shirt, black patent belt and closed toe platforms at the 24th Annual Infinity Awards in NYC. Both look like they're having fun, but who wore it better?

How-To: Michelle Trachtenberg’s Costume Gala Glow

BellaSugar — Wed, 07 May 2008 08:00:45 -0700

If there was one secret that Gossip Girl could reveal, I wish it would be about Michelle Trachtenberg's skincare regimen. At the Costume Institute Gala, her face was blemish-free. She looked like a Botticelli portrait with her smooth, ivory skin and rosebud lips and cheeks.

If you are interested in creating this makeup look at home, here are a few product and application suggestions for you.

FACE: Begin by applying a thick, moisturizing cream so that the makeup doesn't dry out your face. Once it's mostly absorbed, spread a creamy and sheer, liquid foundation such as Elizabeth Arden Intervene Makeup SPF 15 in Soft Shell all over and blend with a synthetic brush. Next, add concealer and eye brightener and use a makeup sponge for the ultimate blend.

To find out more about Michelle's eyes, lips and cheeks, read more.

CHEEKS: Then, apply a creamy reddish-pink blush such as Becca Beach Tint softly to your cheekbones and blend well. Only use a little bit - the idea is to create a natural-looking flush, not to define your cheekbones.
EYES: For this look, the eyes need to be defined, but soft. Start by sweeping a champagne shadow over the entirety of your lids. Next, apply a shimmery brown shadow to the crease. Then, blend a peachy shadow (great for blue eyes) over the brown to soften the brown. I really like Smashbox's Eye Shadow Trio in Smashbox.com for this look. Next, use the champagne shadow and add it to the 'inner v' of your eyes, extending the shadow halfway in on both eyes (using thin brush). Line eyes with a black liquid liner, add false lash pieces on the outer lashes and finally, apply two coats of mascara.
LIPS: Lastly, apply a light berry stain to your lips such as Stila's Cherry Crush Lip & Cheek Stain and top it off with a shiny, clear gloss.

When they're not strutting their stuff on the runway, models are sure to be spotted at the swankiest events in town. At the Met's Costume Institute Gala, these long legged felines were dressed to the nines in their favorite designer duds.

FabSugar — Tue, 06 May 2008 16:33:46 -0700

They came, we saw, they conquered! The Met's Costume Institute Gala is the Oscars of fashion and we've been having a field day with the celebs and fashion folks who attempted to dress for the theme "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy." There was a lot of eye candy and while we saw some really cool getups, a lot of people played it safe. The ones who did attempt an underlying superhero message weren't voted as favorites, alas, here are the favorites. Who was the most super of the Met Gala this year?!

Vote on all our love it or hate it polls!

Trend Alert: Messy Updos at the Met

BellaSugar — Tue, 06 May 2008 16:00:33 -0700

Last night at the fancy 2008 Costume Institute Gala in New York City, the women arrived wearing fabulous gowns adorned with sensational accessories. Some of their beauty looks were favorable, and some left little to be desired. One of the trends I noticed was the semi-laid-back approach to hair. Don't get me wrong, I am sure every strand was supposed to look like that, but there was a lot more looseness as a collective than I've ever noticed at a red-carpet event. Below are eight messy updos from some of Hollywood's leading ladies. What do you think of these hairstyles?

The Met's Costume Institute Gala: Anna Wintour

You didn't think the editor of American Vogue would attend this shindig in something less than spectacular did you? Her futuristic Chanel Haute Couture gown is quite the spectacle - and it even has pockets. Maybe that's where she hides her mysterious fashion powers . . .

Anna Wintour's daughter was fit to be a princess in a voluminous purple organza gown by Nina Ricci at the Met's Costume Institute Gala. I wonder if that guy in the pic (below) was following her around all night helping to adjust her dress - ha! I love the grandiose dress, do you?

The Met's Costume Institute Gala: Michelle Monaghan

Michelle Monaghan and designer Giles Mendel walked arm in arm, while Michelle showed off her J. Mendel one-shoulder metallic dress. I'm a bit torn about this one; I like the color and leaf detail but the mermaid cut is a bit tired. You?
