Celebrity Style: Christina Milian

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 11:30:22 -0700

Singer Christina Milian is on the prowl as she arrives at a restaurant on Sunset Strip in LA. Most people don't wear a corset top and leopard pencil skirt to dinner, but since the Strip is very happening and trendy, it makes sense. Christina's fashion sense doesn't normally wow me, but here she is looking mighty sexy and surprisingly non-cheesy. I know most girls aren't comfortable with low-cut corsets, so I provided a classier option. Follow Christina and get in touch with your wild side!

Shirring

Trend Alert: Sweet Corsets

FabSugar — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 09:00:22 -0800

Sweet corsets are back. This flattering cut can do you no wrong with its structured corset shape and romantic appeal. I also like how the light boning reminds me of old-school lingerie. I'm swooning over this Nanette Lepore Indochine Dress ($430); the juxtaposition between the sweet style and bold print makes for a radical frock.

Freaky or Fabulous? SAW Nurse Wears The Blonds Syringe Corset

FabSugar — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 14:00:22 -0700

No, you're not looking at the next trend in red-carpet wear. Ouch, that would hurt. This is the ad campaign for Lionsgate's movie SAW VI and the latest SAW “Give ‘Til It Hurts” blood drive, benefiting the Red Cross. It was created by Ignition Print and shows a sexy nurse in a needle-clad corset, designed by corset kings, The Blonds. It's not practical, obviously, but it sure does pique interest. If anyone could pull it off, it would be Lady Gaga. What do you think - freaky or fabulous?

Who Says Geeks Aren't Sexy? The Sexed Up Star Trek Corset

GeekSugar — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 13:06:16 -0700

It's not like Uhura's minidresses and gogo boots in the new Star Trek are making any statements about equal rights, but they're still light years more reserved than this Star Trek Corset, $200, from Etsy seller and apparent Trekkie EveningArwen.

I'm not saying I don't approve; I'm just saying that any males you sashay around while wearing this may need to be beamed away from you.

Trend Alert: Corset Tops

FabSugar — Fri, 04 May 2007 11:29:22 -0700

Marilyn loved 'em, Madonna loved 'em, and I love 'em too. A quintessentially feminine top, the corset top is flirting via fabric. Top one of these off with a pencil skirt or your favorite pair of skinnies and get ready to bat those eyelashes. You can sex one up with a fun pair of cork heels or you can tone one down with a pair of chic flip flops. Bustier girls beware: I would say if you are larger than a C cup these aren't for you. Cleavage is a beautiful thing, but you don't want to send the wrong message!

Fab Flash: Sales of Corsets Increase

FabSugarUK — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 01:50:14 -0800

Lingerie is making a statement as outerwear with stars like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry daring to bare. Many of you said you'd wear garters this season, so would you wear a corset too? Selfridges has reported an increase in sales in luxury corsets by 70% compared with last year. In particular, the Bordelle's £900 feather girdle sold out in just 24 hours. Will you be wearing lingerie as outerwear this season?

Super Mario Bros. Corset: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

GeekSugar — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 03:10:13 -0700

Holy Mario. Though I shudder to think what Tim Gunn would say about this (and what would Christian say? "Hot tranny mess," or "fierce"?), but I have got to give it up to Etsy seller The Vintage Doctor, because this Super Mario Bros. Corset looks labor-intensive. It sold out a couple of weeks ago, which is a shame, because I need something to wear when I play Wii's Mario Kart for the first time (tee hee). How does this outfit make you feel?

Celeb Style: Paula Patton

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:00:22 -0800

Paula Patton showed off her beauteous bod at the AFI Fest in LA wearing a silk Bottega Veneta dress. The corseted detail injects a sexy vibe to the modest mauve tone, and I love her strappy Jimmy Choo sandals. To complete the look, the actress adorned herself with crystal-drop earrings, choker necklace, and matching silver cuff. Scintillating, to say the least.

Ippolita Clear Quartz & Sterling Silver Drop Earrings - $395.00	Satin Facile Clutch - $29.50
