This Week's Fab Favorite: Demi Moore

FabSugar — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 15:00:22 -0800

Demi's always polished. And seriously - the woman looks better than ever. This week was a whirlwind with the Inauguration and the Sundance Film Festival so we had continuous style stimulation. But sometimes an LBD rules all. Demi looked excellent at MTV's Ball in her strapless, ruffled Donna Karan frock. The wavy bodice and skirt detail are what really make this dress standout; it's such a lively formal option. Talk about a modern classic. Her long brunette locks look fabulously laid back, but her Cartier diamonds keep things black tie. Satin black platform pumps keep things grounded, while her handsome partner in crime continues to be her mancessory of choice.

To see more of Demi in Donna Karan (and hottie hubbie Ashton), read more.

What's Up With Not Wearing Your Wedding Ring?

DearSugar — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 09:00:00 -0800

I'm sure you all noticed - if not that night, by now after seeing all the coverage - that Michelle Obama was not wearing her wedding ring on inauguration night. Since she wore that enormous diamond sparkler on her left middle finger, her wedding band might have been too much, but its absence sure has people talking!

Leaving the symbolic token of marriage at home doesn't necessarily mean anything, but what's your take on giving the ring a rest every once in a while? Would/do you ever do it, or are you the type to wear your rings all the time, no matter the occasion?

Fab Flash: Aretha Starts Hat Trend

FabSugarUK — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 03:00:11 -0800

Whilst Michele Obama pretty much made Jason Wu's year (if not life) by encouraging a staggering 4 million hits to his website, and the young Obama girls made the J Crew website crash, another style revolution was also taking place. Aretha Franklin performed at the Inauguration on Tuesday in a rather eye-catching piece of headwear.

The hat was designed by Detroit-based milliner Luke Song and made of grey felt cloche, adorned with a Swarovski crystal-encrusted bow. Luke has since been inundated with requests for the hat which was specially made for Aretha. Although he will not reproduce that actual style, he has been offering an alternative satin ribbon version, costing $179 (£129).

Bows are big for Spring 2009 and this hat has put statement bows on the fashion map.

GeekSugar — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 11:50:01 -0800

Wow, the adorable Obama girls are impressing me more and more each day. We already knew that Malia rocked a Kodak M893 digital camera during the inauguration festivities on Tuesday, well the other night, her little sis' Sasha was spotted with a Flip video camcorder at the We Are the Future Kids Ball. Considering Santa brought them a Wii this year for Christmas, I can't say I'm surprised by all their tech toys!

Should Michelle Obama Be Supporting African American Designers?

FabSugar — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 11:00:22 -0800

With just a couple days into her reign as the First Lady, Michelle Obama is already starting to feel the pressures of her position. Amnau Eele, former model and co-founder of the Black Artists Association, is filing a formal appeal to the First Lady’s office on behalf of the BAA. The charge? They're mad at her for not wearing anything by an African American designer at her inaugural appearances.

“It’s one thing to look at the world without color but she had seven slots to wear designer clothes. Why wasn’t she wearing the clothes of a black designer? That was our moment,” said Eele. There's no doubt the First Lady has a lot of responsibilities to uphold but should her fashion choices be one of them?

Malia and Sasha Obama Enjoy Private Jonas Brothers Concert!

LilSugar — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 07:00:07 -0800

A new home is exciting for any girl, but when the residence is the White House, there's a whole lot more to explore. While President Barack Obama and the first lady were out painting the town red, white and blue on Tuesday night, Malia and Sasha enjoyed some festivities thrown by staffers. The duo took in Disney movies with a few friends and participated in a scavenger hunt that led to a surprise private concert with the Jonas Brothers. The musical trio played songs and posed for pictures with the first daughters and their guests. One report talked about the other pint-sized perks of living in the nation's most famous residence. To see what it offers, read more. It said:

The 55,000-square-foot mansion boasts a private bowling alley, a movie theater that the Obamas likely broke in for the first time last night, and a children's garden. First children have historically let loose on the White House grounds.
