Hilary Duff in Sheer LBD: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 07:00:22 -0800

Hold up: Is this an Olsen I'm looking at or Hilary Duff? I did a double take when I saw the singer at TRL's goodbye party. I can totally see Ashley rocking this unique look.Like many of the other guests, Hilary opted for an LBD. But hers isn't any old black dress; it has a sexy sheer layer. She then cinched her ensemble with a wide leather belt and kept her feet simple with black patent pumps. She dressed up her earlobes with large earrings — her signature. Are you feeling this chic new Hilary?

Attack of the LBD, The Sequel

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:00:22 -0800

I normally hate sequels, but how can you hate when it features a much-loved fashion star, the LBD? The first time around was not enough. More ladies of glamour appeared at events in the classic LBD. But really, what is a classic LBD? These dresses, from designers like Yves Saint Laurent, Jolibe, Dolce & Gabbana, and Alberta Ferretti, are anything but classic. Call it an oxymoron, but the LBD stays strong.

Attack of the LBD

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 06:00:22 -0800

How many LBDs do you own? And I bet they're all pretty different, right? Some are casual, some are fancy, some modern, some classic. It's safe to say a gal can never have enough LBDs. There's a reason it's mentioned on every fashion essential list. A testament to the versatility and diversity of the LBD is a recent influx of them on actresses, singers, and models. And yet, I'm not sick of it. I mean, you put Beyonce in a Gareth Pugh LBD and wicked metal glove, and it's a whole new vision. Take a look at all the incarnations of the LBD and I guarantee you won't get bored, either.

This Week's Fab Favorite: Mandy Moore

FabSugar — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Mandy is fairly incognito but whenever she's out and about we snatch her up and feature her. She seems so friendly, down to earth, and healthy. But wowsers — she turned heads in a Preen LBD this week at the opening of the "Vanity Fair Portraits: Photographs 1913-2008" exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. What a perfect choice for an art soiree.

Her newly chopped 'do looked naturally amazing and let the dress shine. The dress, from Preen's Spring collection, is a reinvented LBD, partially bondage, partially utilitarian. It manages to be sexy and sporty — how unexpected. And the slight black sheen photographed beautifully. She wore simple black suede Louboutins, fine, but she added the perfect amount of metallic with a shimmering snakeskin clutch. Her big beautiful smile took the dress from Fab to fabulous.

Fab Redux: LBDisco

FabSugar — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 14:00:22 -0700

I recently had a long day of wine tasting in Napa Valley, got home around 7 p.m., and had to get ready to go back out again. As fun as a social life is, it can be exhausting and challenging.

Challenging, in the closet arena. I definitely have some go-to items for lazy Sundays — jeans, moccasins, cardigans — but a Friday night on the town? So I grabbed my black Corey Lynn Calter maxi dress, threw on tons of jewelry, a vintage clutch, a light-washed jean jacket (to dress the look down), and called it a night. And yes, I felt quite Fab.

This black disco dress, size small ($34), can also do the LBDisco. You don't have to be an expert to learn these moves. Plus, if you're not so sure about loud print maxi dresses, this caters to the trend in a more subtle way.

Not only is she the PopSugar 100 poster girl, we found her look in Celebrity Style yesterday and here she is in one of her faves, Elizabeth & James, at the VH1 Rock Honors: The Who party.

This Week's Fab Favorite: Charlize Theron

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 17:00:22 -0700

Every season a few items appear on the runways that you know are going to be superstars. Fall merchandise is not yet in stores — soon — but we are already seeing some stars wearing the aforementioned superstars on the red carpets. After all, celebrities who will help promote the house get first dibs. That being said, I predict we will see much more of this sharp Balenciaga LBD. I'm just glad the statuesque Charlize Theron wore it first. For the record, I am predicting Victoria Beckham will wear this one, too. At one of the Hancock premiere's, Charlize also chose to wear the decadent rhinestone bracelets that accompanied the slit-up-to-there dress on the runway. Man-eater shoes and slicked back hair toped off her power ensemble. I know we'll see more of this epic dress, just remember Charlize had first dibs.

Celebrity Style: Rachel Bilson

Among the celebs who welcomed Rogan to Barneys was the always sweet Rachel Bilson. Most ladies kept it springy and colorful, but R-Bils did her own thing. That's what we like to see here at Fab! She opted for a casual crochet LBD, a black blazer, and some dope nude shoes that took the look a few notches higher. Rachel's use of color came in the form of neon, layered bangles. And she brushed aside those unflattering bangs. Phew!

This Week's Fab Favorite: Michelle Monaghan

FabSugar — Fri, 02 May 2008 16:00:39 -0700

Newcomer Michelle Monaghan had so many outstanding outfits this week, at first I didn't have the heart to choose one over the others. They were all Fabtastic, but ultimately it came down to this logic: This stunning satin, one-shoulder Erin Fetherston dress takes a characteristic from each of her earlier looks from the week and melds them harmoniously.
It's pitch black like the Monique Lhuillier dress she donned at the Made of Honor NYC premiere and adorned like the grey Lanvin frock she wore on TRL. So far, this girl has done no wrong. In fact, she's done more than just right with her choice of chunky necklace and caged sandals. I'll let Buzz assess her acting skills, but other actresses should fear her fashion sense because it's a force to be reckoned with.

Sneak Peek! Banana Republic Fall '08 Collection

FabSugar — Fri, 02 May 2008 12:00:08 -0700

I know Spring and Summer are on your mind, but switch your mindset for a second because Banana Republic's Fall '08 collection is way desirable. Despite the gloomy weather that accompanies autumn, it's making me look forward to bundling up and layering.

You'll notice this collection is mostly monochrome, with sprinkles of red to surprise the eyes. On the outerwear front, there are lots of greys, extra-long cardigans, cropped pea coats, and slick leather trenches. The trousers are mostly skinny, checkered, and menswear-ish. Fall's frocks come with lots of personality: Prada-inspired lace dress (left), red taffeta sheaths, and sleek LBDs. Tie-front styles and berets are also prevalent for Fall.

Fab Read: The Black Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 16:00:22 -0800

We all know that black dresses are hardly just reserved for funerals anymore — they're wardrobe staples! In The Black Dress ($15), Dr. Valerie Steele, Director and Chief Curator of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology (my alma mater!), explores the zeitgeist of the black dress and how they've become timelessly chic.

The tome is filled with pages of iconic black dress images pulled from Chanel's collection, Audrey Hepburn's films, and more, plus quotes on the color black from writers, artists, and fashion personalities. Definitely one to check out — especially if you love your LBDs as much as I do.

Fab's Guide To Perfecting the LBD

FabSugar — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 04:00:22 -0800

LBD has become such a household term, it might as well be included in the dictionary. But it pains me when women use black as an excuse to not think creatively. If anything, you have to think more creatively with a LBD; it's a blank canvas waiting to be decorated. Your LBD may not be Fendi, like actress Kate Mara, but that doesn't mean you can't look as Fab. Here's how . . .

Choose an interesting silhouette. Just because it's black doesn't mean it has to be boring. Off-the-shoulder, one-shoulder, halter, cowl, boatneck — find the one that flatters your figure, and most importantly, makes you stand out.
Belt it. Belts have surpassed trend status and are now staples. We have seen them on the runways for countless seasons now. Remember, it was Sex and the City stylist Patricia Field who said belts accentuate a woman's curves and elongate her legs. Done and done.

The skinny black-patent belt gives the outfit some dazzle as do her simple earrings. For your look below, I've provided a black tank to be worn under the dress to give the asymmetrical touch.

Guess Who Wore a Vintage Chanel LBD to the Golden Globes in 2006?

How Would YOU Wear It? Megan Fox

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 07:00:22 -0800

Despite her intense looks, I think Megan Fox is really sweet. But clearly being nice and looking pretty doesn't equal having good taste. At the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles premiere in LA, the actress showed up looking downright cheap.

First things first, she should have ditched the long, beaded necklace as it's a little arts-n-craftsy and doesn't go with her sultry look. The LBD isn't bad, but you can see her leopard-print bra underneath; so not classy. I would have worn the dress (with a slip) with sleek, less slouchy over-the-knee boots. Oh, and I know this is BellaSugar territory, but what's up with the 90's hairdo?

How would YOU wear it?

You can barely tell that Halle Berry is pregnant at the Palm Springs Film Festival Awards. For that, she owes thanks to Temperley London's Papillon Mini Dress ($1,625). It's a hefty price to pay for a dress you'll wear once, but not if you're a mega star. I take it she couldn't refuse the darling asymmetrical ruffle layer and the artsy knit yoke — top it off with a Rickard Shah clutch and you have Halle, the goddess.

On Our Radar: myShape Little Black Dress Guide

Can you tell we're a little LBD obsessed around here? Well, our obsession continues with myShape's Little Black Dress Guide, which provides styles from designers selected to suit every woman’s shape and style preferences. What's more, myShape claims the LBD no longer needs to be black (gasp!) Jewel-tone and metallic frocks can also be called the new LBDs.

If you're an E Shape, you should go with this Carilyn Vaile's Strappy Empire Dress ($17, which also comes in cobalt and berry. It draws more attention to the bust and less on the lower body.

Party On Party Dresses: Lustworthy LBDs

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 14:00:22 -0800

Lauren Conrad is the queen of Little Black Dresses. She wears them often and she wears them well. LBDs are tricky because if the silhouette is uninteresting, or unflattering, your look can turn out quite trite. That is unless you pile on colorful accessories: fuchsia shoes, a metallic belt, a satin clutch.

Any girl can pull off a Lustworthy LBD, whether you're shy, sassy or craving attention. A dash of red lipstick and you'll be the siren all the boys will want to smooch at midnight.

This book, according to Nina, is not "A book of rules. It is a book on style." Just what you would expect from the "Project Runway" judge and ELLE fashion director.

The book itself is the LBD of fashion guides - sophisticated, elegant and timeless. It offers tips on how to: be your own muse (confidence trumps beauty), invest in wardrobe staples (ballet flats, cashmere and diamonds) and "what to wear when" (just say no to sweatsuits on planes). Overall, Nina offers very sage advice for both the savvy shopper and ensembly challenged.

I don't normally go gaga over black frocks, but add some oversized bows and it instantaneously takes it from drab to darling. This Blumarine Sleeveless Dress with Twisted Straps, $1,145, is not your average LBD and it's all thanks to those two bows perched on the thin twisted straps. They demand all the attention and rightfully so. I also adore the pleated bodice and the beaded velvet accents.

I can see myself wearing this pre-Fall piece to a chi-chi cocktail soiree. I would pair it with a hot pair of silver peep-toe pumps and let the bows be the only other accessory. Even the shiniest bling wouldn't be able to handle the competition!
