But don't worry - it's not about tight, see-through tops, and dresses that scream 'look at me' as we saw in the 1990s. Run your eyes over the Spring / Summer 2008 runway collections and you'll find sheer fabrics used in delicate, feminine ways - from loose, flowing tops to pretty blouses to dresses layered with sheer fabrics.

Consider 2006's sheer necklines trend, seen here on Salma Hayek, Natalie Portman, and Lucy Liu.

A keen eye, a focused approach, and a wardrobe spanning three rooms have made her one of the savviest of dressers.
