Fab Read: Italian Fashion Now

FabSugar — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 08:42:22 -0800

I've never seen a more polished-at-all-times group of people than Italians. I can always spot Italian tourists thanks to their spot-on style. Of course, Prada, Giorgio Armani, Missoni, Gianni Versace, Gucci, and Dolce & Gabbana are hugely responsible for that. But Italian Fashion Now by Maria Luisa Frisa ($14) dishes about the new rising stars of Italian fashion now. Giambattista Valli, Riccardo Tisci (Givenchy), Stefano Pilati (Yves Saint Laurent) are just a few. The book is currently on pre-order and will be released February, 10, 2010.

Celeb Style: Zoe Saldana

Zoe Saldana was the definition of darling in her super-flirty, tomato-red pleated ruffle Giambattista Valli frock at the Tokyo International Film Festival. Talk about a power color! To further amp up the look, the actress wore black-patent platform sandals, teardrop Melinda Maria earrings, and a bold ring. Her braided hair and gorgeous smile further charm her ensemble.

Which Drew Barrymore Grey Gardens Look Is Most Fab?

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 15:50:22 -0700

The much-anticipated Grey Gardens is premiering Saturday night on HBO - are you gonna watch?! Drew Barrymore channeled her stylish, inner "Little Edie" during her promotion circuit this week wearing an abundance of sensational ensembles. The adorable actress showed off her experimental side in a flattering striped dress by Narciso Rodriguez; old Hollywood glamour in an Alberta Ferretti nude gown; bohemian chic in a white, '60s-inspired frock by Andrew GN; and avant-garde appeal in a dramatic Giambattista Valli creation. I know my favorite Drew look, which is yours?

Screen Actors Guild Awards: Amy Adams

Amy Adams likes her bustier dresses, and her SAG Awards choice is no exception. Her fitted burgundy Giambattista Valli column gown, replete with volume at the waist is quite dramatic. Is it eye-catching or too much?

Spring Peek: Cropped Pants

FabSugar — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 09:00:22 -0800

If anything stood out on the Spring runways it was the new pant styles. Harem, bermuda, pedal pusher, leggings, rolled, tailored - we witnessed them all. As someone who has always been keen on cropped pants - what better way to show off your Fab shoes? - I am psyched.

I know what you're thinking shorter-than-thou ladies, and 'tis not true; you too can get in on this fresh trend. Just add some heels (wedges are cute here) for height and keep your silhouette loose and lean and you'll actually appear that much taller. The real beauty is there are so many styles to choose from and you can create looks from items you already own.

My favorites are these cool gray scrunched leggings from the slick Celine runway, Derek Lam's simple black slims, and, for drama's sake, McQueen's yellow harem pants.

To see more of my favorite cropped pants of Spring, read more.

Who Wore It Better? Voluminous Giambattista Valli Dress

FabSugar — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 14:00:22 -0800

It's not easy wearing a dress that accentuates - no, dramatizes - your hips, but there are at least two ladies who took the risk. Diane Kruger wore her ivory Giambattista Valli dress in Paris at a movie premiere in November. She accessorized with deep red velvet pumps and a white watch. Voila. Marissa Tomei also wore Valli's daring creation, albeit the black version, to an inaugural ball in Washington. She kept her look monochrome with black satin pumps. It's a toughie to pull off, but who worked it better?

Celebrity Style: Sarah Jessica Parker

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 10:15:51 -0800

LBD? What LBD? Sarah Jessica Parker stunned in a peach Giambattista Valli at an NYC gala she attended with her hubby. Since the dress is understated, it's the perfect opportunity to deck it out with fun accessories - SJP decorated her neck with bronze pearls, dazzled each wrist with matching multifaceted bracelets, and sparkled her ears with diamond earrings. Her burgundy patent bag and black peep toe pumps inject some darkness. An ideal fusion of ladylike and cool, brava!

Trend Alert: Decadent Doodles

FabSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 05:00:22 -0700

What's your signature doodle? Mine is an asterisk, or I do stars, and sometimes I do this cool heart chain squiggly thing. Obviously, I'd have to show you for you to get me. Or, I could wear it on my sleeve. Art and fashion collide in the coolest ways, and these ladies are flaunting decadent doodles. Joy in punchy Matthew Wiiliamson, Emma in abstract Giambattista Valli, Anne in regal Marchesa. It really pops.

Trend Alert: Twinkle Toes

FabSugar — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Shoes have gotten really aggressive. Gladiator sandals, caged sandals, zippered shoes, Victoria Beckham's invisible dominatrix heels. Cool your jets! It was refreshing to see Lucy Liu, alongside Manolo Blahnik, in a pair of delectable twinkle toes. Just because every enviable Gwyn and Charlize is wearing tough-as-nails footwear doesn't mean you have to. An elegant cocoon-shaped Giambattista Valli dress is the perfect topper for the toe that glitters, but I say some rolled up jeans will do, too.
