Jennifer Lopez Is Glamorous But Still Nanny-free

Molly — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 15:30:39 -0700

Jennifer Lopez snuggled right up to Oscar de la Renta on her way into a photo shoot in NYC today. The new mom looked glowing after her work/play/bikini filled European vacation with Marc and the twins, getting back to the glamorous work of a superstar. While little Max and Emme may not be the celebrity baby twins on everyone's minds today, people are still curious about Jennifer and Marc's nanny situation - or lack thereof and not because they're not trying to find someone. Even without extra helping hands, Jennifer is keeping her schedule full including attending Maria Shriver's 2nd Annual Women's Conference this October.

Molly — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 06:00:00 -0700

Salma Hayek, Eva Longoria and Selena Gomez were three of the gorgeous women dressed in their best for the 2009 ALMA Awards in LA last night. Eva Longoria showed off tons of costume changes as she played host for the third year in a row and this time was joined by George Lopez. Selena Gomez took home a statue for Television Comedy Actress and twittered about her fun night. Salma Hayek, who totally looked like a blast from her past in the headband and short sexy dress, was honored with the Anthony Quinn Award for General Excellence. Salma's BFF Penelope actually won as well but wasn't in the house to accept. The show airs tonight featuring performances from David Archuleta, Nelly Furtado and more.

All the Girls Want Is a Piece of the Fashion Action

Fashion Week keeps trucking along with lots of famous faces in the front row and backstage. Fresh from her Irvine show, Lauren Conrad had Lo Bosworth by her side today for Nanette Lepore, while Rachel Zoe joined Jennifer Lopez to support her recent favorite, Oscar de la Renta. The Gossip Girls went their separate ways - Blake Lively wore the designer joining Heidi Klum at Michael Kors, while Leighton Meester and a surprisingly normal-looking Juliette Lewis went out to see Phillip Lim. On top of her stop at Proenza Schouler on Monday, Mary-Kate Olsen brought along boyfriend Nate Lowman yesterday to check out her pal Benjamin Cho's collection. There are only two more days of fashion fun in NYC before things pick up again in London on Sunday.

Don't forget to check out all the news from the front row, as well as updates from Fab and Bella. To see over 50 photos from the shows, including Mary-Kate Olsen, Agyness Deyn, and Rachel Zoe, just read more.

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Oscar de la Renta

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 12:30:08 -0700

Oscar de la Renta. Pure, defined, elegant. No matter what your personal style, one has to admire the works of art that is Oscar. And admire I did, from the balcony of the Upper East Side venue, overlooking top editors, socialites, and Jennifer Lopez. The collection kicked off with some colorblock bathing suits - that was a surprise - and eased into tie-dyed skirts, white silk crepe blouses, silk sweaters, linen pantsuits, and ruffled blouses. Almost everything was cinched with Alaia-resembling perforated leather corset belts. These pregown treats were paired-down elegance, but architectural shapes and prints were thoroughly modern. Navy, white, and yellow pieces had a nautical flair, and de la Renta's favorite print of all - ikat - was reinvented yet again. Then came the gowns, from all directions on the runway, creating a stir of decadence. A navy embroidered backless lace gown was breathtaking, Coco's white silk peplum gown with navy Harlequin embroidery was stunning, and the finale dazzler: a silver maco bead embroidered strapless gown was heaven on the catwalk.

Who Wore It Better? Strapless Floral Oscar de la Renta Dress

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 16:00:22 -0700

When Cameron Diaz wore Oscar de la Renta's strapless floral dress I thought it was rather matronly for her usually casual taste. To add more maturity, Cam accessorized with matching red pumps and a red pashmina. Jennifer Lopez just wore the same dress, with the designer by her side. To accessorize, Jennifer opted for large gold earrings and nude patent sandals. Both are super ladylike but whose prim look are you liking more?

Best Dressed Ladies of Oscars Past

FabSugar — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 13:00:22 -0800

The Academy Awards come and go, but only a handful of celebrities remain on fashion-loving minds. The way I see it, this is the chance for stars to shine, so I've got no love for those who dim in the spotlight. Whether it be a bold color, a shocking silhouette, or breathtaking bling, all these ladies have stepped up to the Oscars plate. In no particular order - although Emily Blunt stole my heart in Calvin Klein at the Oscars last year - I present to you my best-dressed list of Oscars past . . . Ready for the Oscars?

Fab Flash: 2009 Oscars Scaled Down But Still Fabulous

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 13:00:08 -0800

This year, the Oscars present a unique challenge for designers. The current economic crisis has caused a scaling down of glitz for this Sunday's festivities. For example, swag suites will be fewer and filled with less pricier items. "If someone fabulous comes through the door they will get something, but it’s much less of anyone coming through the door and leaving with a little bag of stuff,” said president of the Diamond Information Center, Sally Morrison. Popular jewelers, such as Kwiat, have opted out of hosting an Oscar week suite this year while others, such as Verdura, plan on bringing select pieces for one-on-one stylist appointments. Jimmy Choo, who has been operating an Oscar week suite since 1999, will be opening later than usual.

The good news is that Oscar gowns are expected to be as glamorous as ever; especially since most are borrowed from designers who are vying for the ultimate PR pitch. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with playing dress up right now,” said Jennifer Lopez. “Who wouldn’t want to wear borrowed dresses and borrowed jewelry?" True that.

Lindsay Parties Oscar Weekend Away With Samantha

PopSugar — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 14:30:38 -0800

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson cuddled up to each other at the Mercedes-Benz Oscar party last night in LA. Lindsay paired a LWD with black platforms posing on one of the many red carpets of the night. She addressed her recent weight loss, explaining that stress from work meetings may have caused it, but said she has not changed her eating habits. On Saturday night she attended Harvey Weinstein's pre-Oscar party with Jennifer Lopez and Penelope Cruz. On Sunday she prepped with a trip to the hair salon before watching the show at Asia de Cuba. While many stars were at the Vanity Fair afterparty, LL stayed by Samantha's side as she worked and then supposedly they both headed on over to the exclusive Madonna/Demi party.

The Project Runway Season Five Finale Runway Show!

FabSugar — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 17:10:36 -0700

The grand finale of my Fashion Week was the Project Runway finale show. And what a show it was. Before the season five contestants showed their collections, it was a reunion among familiar faces. It's always a joy seeing Runway alumni gather and mingle. The recently booted Blayne and Terri were there - all smiles - and favorites like Jay, Rami, Jillian (wearing a familiar knit sweater from her collection), Chris March, and Jack Mackenroth (who I chatted with at the Jill Stuart show, he is so sweet) all made cameos. Enter Christian Siriano, who had his own Spring show the night before. Then, Michelle Tractenberg, Rachel Zoe, and Harvey Weinstein were chatting about. Quite the spectacle!Anticipation grew once Heidi, Nina, and Michael Kors all came out to welcoming applause. Side note: Are Heidi and Nina both wearing Roland Mouret dresses? They looked great, but I wonder if that was planned. At 9:30 a.m. the lights dimmed and Heidi appeared, microphone in hand. She said some heartfelt words to the people of Bravo and the Magic Elves (the show's producers) - saying goodbye and thanking them for five great seasons. To bring you up to speed, Runway is moving to Lifetime for their sixth season (and that will be interesting in itself).

The guest judge seat remained empty. All week long there had been rumblings about Jennifer Lopez being the guest judge, but it was anticlimactic when Heidi announced that Lopez was unable to due to "a foot injury." Boo. And so, Tim Gunn stepped in at the last minute to serve as guest judge. Don't get me wrong - I adore Gunn - but it was very exciting when Victoria Beckham graced us with her presence last time. Once all was said and done, the first collection, by Jerell, was unveiled . . .

To see the collections of Jerell, Suede, Joe, Korto, Kenley, and Leanne, and to read my reviews, read more.

Jerell
Jerell has one of the most lovable personalities, but his collection wasn't so. He came out and thanked his parents, boyfriend, and bestie, and I was really looking forward to his final collection. Bustiers, ruffles, dramatic bodices, and black and gold comprised his aesthetic. There was a regal undertone, as well as a pirate feel, but the taste level just wasn't that high. His two gowns didn't fit so well, and there wasn't a strong point of view. My favorite look was the embellished cardigan over a striped dress with sheer overlay.

Suede
Oh gosh. I really didn't like this collection. It was immature and incohesive, and the Barbie girl color palette was ridiculous. Suede claimed "Suede's going to rock it" but he didn't. He mixed plaid with pastels, ruffles with one shoulder, and shredded and draped pieces; cotton candy fabrics were utterly unsophisticated. I didn't mind the wedding dress, but that was subpar.

Joe
Joe is vanilla. His heart is in the right place, but his talent is hit or miss. Throughout the season, he's had some winners and losers, but his final works, which he claimed were Americana-inspired, were disappointing. He should have taken a more Ralph Lauren elegance take on the theme, and less Harley Davidson rough and tough. Brown leather corsets, patterned jeans, leather pants, and a navy dress with white stars were misses; a super cute paisley print dress, turquoise ornamentation, and a textured red ball gown skirt were hits. But this collection was not consistent enough to win.

Kenley
Fun, quirky and feminine - just like the girl who made it. I like Kenley, although her distinct laugh annoys some, and her Alice in Wonderland take on "her dream wardrobe" was surprisingly versatile. Each piece was unique, and yet the collection melded together wonderfully. There were a few ooh ahh pieces: the black dress with fuchsia print overskirt (pictured above), the dramatic ruffle teal print blouse and black flounce skirt, and the pink and black colorblock bodice with dramatic tulle skirt dress. Her little feathered hats, which she has a penchant for, were a nice touch. This was possibly my personal favorite - full of eclecticism - but things heated up after she showed . . .

Korto
I think Korto has the most interesting point of view, and her collection was beautifully exotic and elegant. However, there were one too many emerald green dresses, I'm just sayin.' Her collection was "inspired by nature and the landscape and clothes of her native country, Africa." She also designed the beaded and colorful jewelry (which I loved). Her color story was rich: emerald green, turquoise, mustard yellow, white, and ecru. Her silhouettes ranged from a slim halter gown and pouf sleeves to flirty cocktail dresses and asymmetrical cuts. The jungle printed banded belt frock was covetable, but a white frilly long dress was confusing. I loved the sometime Oscar de la Renta exoticism, though.

Leanne
Funny how the six collections gradually got better. I think Leanne is going to win. Her collection was as stellar as any of the professional collections from the week. It was conceptual, beautiful, and theatrical. Leanne claimed she "lost a million hours of sleep" over it, and it showed. Sculptural skirts, dresses, and gowns floated down the runway to the beat of a neutral, cool palette. The craftsmanship was expert and you could just feel the adoration in the air. I would wear the ivory off-shoulder top and turquoise petal skirt and the ivory and beige corset mini dress (pictured above) in a heartbeat. And her modern wedding dress blew Suede's off the (project) runway.
