How Would You Wear it? Katie Holmes

FabSugarUK — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 07:30:54 -0800

Katie Holmes has been a one woman advert for denim this year using the New York side walk as her catwalk. She has pioneered the peg-leg look and has recently ventured in to bright coloured skinnies. Over the festive period the fashion show has continued but I can't help but feel that something isn't quite working with this ensemble. Maybe Katie is wearing too many items or attempting too many looks and it ends up being slightly overwhelming. The top half looks fine and then you realise that somewhere between the stirrup tights and heels something went horribly wrong. Do you have any style tips for Katie?

How Would You Wear it? Mischa Barton

FabSugarUK — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 03:00:22 -0700

This brave ensemble that Mischa Barton wore over the weekend to the African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust Gift of Life IX Fundraising Ball has left us divided here at Sugar UK HQ. Although Pop UK and I agree that the floaty dress is nice we're yet to agree on the headband. I like the luxe-hippy feel to the look but Pop UK isn't so sure. However, this becomes irrelevant when you realise that Mischa teamed this dress with heavy boots! I'm sorry Mischa but you leave me with little choice but to add you to the How would YOU wear it hall of shame! Do you have any advice for the actress?

How Would You Wear It? Rihanna

FabSugar — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Well hello there, Rihanna. Did you by any chance check yourself in the mirror today? Here is a classic case of a person thinking more is more. I certainly appreciate the pieces in Rihanna's outfit - Matthew Williamson top, Givenchy bag, Balenciaga boots - but not so much when they're all together.

The print top, black shorts, and brown bag work well together and cater to Rihanna's funky taste. I would have ditched the Balenciaga gladiators boots for a more understated sandal so as not to clash with the print of the top. Although the earrings are a tad too oversized for my taste, I'll let her have them since she can pull them off.

How Would YOU Wear It? Blake Lively

FabSugar — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 05:00:22 -0700

Every fashion follower is bound to have a momentary lapse of judgment, and that moment has come for Gossip Girl Blake Lively. The actress had us scratching our heads when she showed up to a party in the Hamptons in this monochrome outfit. All-white can be crisp and refreshing, but here it's tacky.

If I were Blake's stylist, I would have ridded her of those unflattering white pants and thrown on a slimming black pair. I would have cut off the side tie that accompanies the blouse as it's too much with the ruffles. On her feet, I would have recommended fun metallic sandals so as to let the blouse do the dazzling. How would YOU wear it?

How Would YOU Wear It? Natasha Bedingfield

FabSugarUK — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 02:00:57 -0700

Wow, well when I spotted these pictures of Natasha Bedingfield over at Pop UK I couldn't quite put in to words how odd her outfit is. The British singer who seems to spend more time in the USA than here was sporting knee high Dr Martens with leggings and a not quite long enough shirt. All of the components of this outfit could work but put together, I'm not so sure. Which leaves me no choice but to add Natasha to the How would YOU wear it hall of shame. So, how would you wear it?

How Would YOU Wear It? Alex Curran

FabSugarUK — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 01:00:16 -0700

WAG Alex Curran was out on the town last week in a monochrome ensemble. Now, WAG's aren't famous for making good fashion choices so maybe putting her in to the How would YOU Wear It hall of fame seems like a cheap shot. However, Alex has been quite stylish recently wearing a lemon yellow Roland Mouret dress to support her husband when he received his honorary degree. Whilst the separate pieces of this outfit are good, together they look very try-hard. She has an oversized clutch and gladiator heels but with rouched leggings? So I put it to you, how would YOU wear it?

How Would YOU Wear it? Lily Allen

FabSugarUK — Thu, 29 May 2008 02:00:11 -0700

In recent weeks I have generally been warming to Lily Allen. I think she makes a great blonde and although she's been sporting a lot of leisure wear she seems like she's happy and having fun. However, whilst both the latter are true in this outfit I can't let this one pass. She wore this outfit once last week and I turned a blind eye but now that she has worn it again (whilst out with Mark Ronson) I couldn't resist adding Lily to the How would YOU wear it hall of shame.

I know that jumpsuits are big news this season and that Lily isn't the first to wear one but I think she makes it look too much like a baby's romper suit by teaming it with a cutesy cardigan and trainers. I know that Rihanna is a fan of the jumpsuit but hers are smart and teamed with heels for a sleek silhouette. What do you think about Lily's ensemble, how would YOU wear it?

How Would YOU Wear it? Victoria Beckham

FabSugarUK — Mon, 12 May 2008 06:00:30 -0700

Victoria Beckham flew to London on Saturday, leaving her boys to have fun at the football. She's flying back to the UK for a good cause selling six Roberto Cavalli tour outfits to raise money for the Victoria and David Beckham Children's Charity. This charity provides kids with wheelchairs and other kit. Victoria explained, "I love all the outfits - for the memories they hold and for how beautiful they are. But there has been a lot of interest in them and I want to harness that for the charity."

All good deeds aside, I am not sure what she was thinking when she opted for these bright pink flares. Not only do they clash with her orange skin tone but they also leave Victoria looking like she wants to challenge Jordan in the Barbie lookalike stakes. I think that maybe they'd look better in a darker shade or maybe if they were skinny rather than flared. Unfortunately, this outfit marks Victoria's entry to the How would YOU wear it hall of shame. Please can you offer her some help?

How Would You Wear It? Mischa Barton

FabSugar — Thu, 08 May 2008 14:00:22 -0700

My heart goes out to Mischa who's been getting a lot of unneccesary flack for her body lately. But my heart does not go out to girls when they wear unflattering clothes that draw attention to their so-called problem areas.

The Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony floral corset top Mischa wore to the Event to Prevent benefit is lovely, but the wrinkled khaki mom pants? Not so much. The combination of high waist and tapered bottom does not work here. Instead, she should have worn a pair of high-waist dark jeans that are more slimming. Or, a black pencil skirt to keep with the alternative vibe. I do like her messenger bag, metallic heels, and layered jewelry, though.

How Would YOU Wear It? Fergie

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 15:15:00 -0700

Fergie has never really been one of my style icons, but prior to this outfit, she was doing quite well with her tailored shorts ensembles!

I can handle the crisp white button-down, oversized shades, and unassuming leather satchel, but they're hardly visible thanks to a bright orange (and is that patent I see?) cincher and the most loudly tie-dye jeans perhaps ever. There are ways to make tie-dye look chic, but a smaller dose is key.

I would much rather see her in some midrise wide leg jeans in an inky dark wash. The belt could be switched up in favor of a vintage brown one and the platform on those heels could be tamed down for a more daytime-appropriate look. How would YOU wear it?
