This Week's Fab Five

Posted by babu 4:00pm GMT

This week was all about...working it, no matter what "it" is. And the winners are...

Emmy Rossum in a teal sheath from the Lela Rose Spring 2010 collection at the 17th Annual Hamptons International Film Festival in New York. The exquisite ruffle detailing trailing from the right shoulder to the waist makes this dress.

Camilla Belle secures her second "Fab Five" spot in a row in a black, Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 bodice worn to the 2009 Freedom Awards in Los Angeles. The intricate, allover pleating on this LBD makes it the perfect day-to-night pick.

Jennifer Lopez wearing a full-skirted metallic gold mini at the Fiesta Latina concert at the White House. I'm going to take a leap here and say this is one of my favorite looks on JLo thus far. The material is absolutely gorgeous and the cinched waistline (love that bow, by the way) does wonders for the singer's pear-shaped bod.

Kim Kardashian in a bright white Altuzarra dress at Hollywood Life’s 6th Annual Hollywood Style Awards. The fabric of this dress hugs Kim's every curve, while the pleated detailing creates an element of luxury and class.

Blake Lively in Marchesa at the "Where the Wild Things Are" premiere in New York. Seeing this dress on Blake changed my outlook on feathers as a whole. Unlike the "peacocks" out there, she looks tame, and tasteful.

Two Ways to Wear: Fitted Forties-Inspired Dresses

Posted by babu 12:06am GMT

Want to know how to get dressed in under 5 minutes? Talk a cue from Jennifer Lopez and Nelly Furtado who rely on a forties-style fitted dress.

Lopez proves that one of these classic shifts works in Miami where she wore hers, while the pale grey Elie Saab dress (from his Fall 2009 ready-to-wear line) singer Furtado wore to the designer's Spring show in Paris screams "chic" in any country.

Ladies, if you don't have one of these dresses already in your closet, run out and get one fast since they magically create curves where none exist or show off an envious hour-glass figure, all while giving off a demure, sophisticated vibe.

If color's your thing, then go for a bold shade, and the effect is still the same. Like I said, magic.
