Battle of the Gucci: Newton vs. Lively

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 13:00:22 -0800

How much fun it must be to wear the designer's pick to a charity event benefiting a great cause like UNICEF. While the hostess, Rihanna, brought the mostess, a few other lovelies donned Gucci garb. Becki and Blake both wore looks from Gucci's dark, folksy Fall collection, and while the two have similar studded and embroidered embellishments, the silhouettes are vastly different. It comes down to your taste. Who wins?

I don't know who helped these PYTs select their green Gucci dresses but whoever did did an excellent job. Reason being: the shades of green perfectly complement the skin tones of both ladies. Elegant and fresh, which green Gucci rules?

Bows aren't going anywhere this Fall so Dita's Zac Posen and Lucy's Gucci both prove to be au courant. This is a tough one because both of these ladies are pale and wear drama well. Which bowed frock wins your heart?

Some serous heavy hitters showed up at one of the most anticipated events of fashion week: the "A Night to Benefit Raising Malawi and UNICEF" hosted by Madonna and Gucci. There's no doubt philanthropy and fashion mix. Katie Holmes chose to wear a sleek dramatically folded red dress while Gwyneth opted for a big bowed pink mini dress. Which Gucci wins?!

And The 2009 Fifi Awards For Best Fragrances Goes To . . .

BellaSugarUK — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 04:17:00 -0700

Last night at the Dorchester Hotel in London, celebrities and beauty business fixtures gathered for the 17th Annual Fragrance Foundation UK Awards (better known as "The Fifi's"). The profits from the event were donated to the Teenage Cancer Trust, and in the past few years alone, The Fifi's have raised over £100,000 for the charity.

I was lucky enough to speak with Janine Roxbrough Bunce, the Executive Director of the Fragrance Foundation this morning, who said, "the atmosphere last night was starry and electric. This has become the Oscars of the fragrance industry, and is very important to the world of fragrance. The aim in the future is to get the public more and more involved in the awards and eventually, we'd love to see the masses voting online for their favourite scents."

19 crystal awards were given out in total with two being new to this year. One especially worth mentioning is the Lifetime Achievement Award which went to 82 year old Jean-Paul Guerlain. The winners, (which are scents from 1 Jan - 31 Dec of 2008) didn't necessarily surprise me, however, I felt that a few of my faves have been overlooked. You can check out the winners from last year here and for a full list of this year's winners, and to find out what fragrance Mischa Barton loves and which one Alex Zane was wearing last night, read more.

Mischa Barton revealed last night that one of her favourite fragrances is She Wood by DSquared2, while Alex Zane proudly announced that he was wearing Boss by Hugo Boss.

Who Wore It Better? Orange Gucci Resort Maxi Dress

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 15:00:22 -0700

It's the battle of the blondes! Spotted: One of our favorite Gossip Girls Blake Lively and model Natasha Poly wearing the same maxi dress from the Gucci Resort collection. Blake is all smiles as she accessorizes the burnt orange frock with funky jewels and sun-kissed skin. Natasha, on the other hand, poses like the model she is with just a simple clutch in hand. Both are bombshells, but which look do you prefer?
