If nothing else, she does have the brightly coloured plastic frames on trend. Rachel Bilson: another celebrity fringeI've lost count of how many celebrities, models and socialites have jumped onto the over-crowded bandwagon that is the fringe trend. All I know is, we can add Rachel Bilson to the list. And I have to say, she looks as cute as a button.
2008's fringe takes it's cues from Kate Moss' hair; thick, a bit messy, just-out-of-bed... too fine and the sex-kitten effect is lost. And so, Rachel's hair is perfect for it. Kate Holmes new hair: short cropped bobLooking at 2008's hair trends, crops and bobs are definitely up there. But first impressions of Katie Holmes' new hair style aren't all kind.
A bobbed style with a very deep fringe, Katie's new shorter cut is looking a tad boyish and un-glamorous. But on these angles, so are most things. We'll reserve judgment for when we see some more snaps. Camilla Belle with the fringe hair trend10,000 B.C star Camilla Belle is one starlet who I think looks great with a fringe. As one of 2008's big hair trends the fringe has seen many hits and misses so far this year; and I would put Camilla in the former category.
Her fringe here is slightly tousled and nonchalant, and for someone with a large-ish forehead is a good fit to her face shape. Elle MacPherson with a fringe and Ray-BansElle MacPherson just never seems to age or fall behind. Trading her oft-blonded locks for a more natural golden brown, she appears to be the next in a long line of celebs to get a fringe - one of 2008's definite hair trends.
Maria Sharapova nude dress and fringe trendTennis star Maria Sharapova is the latest in a long line of celebs to be sporting one of 2008's biggest hair trends, the fringe.
She's paired it with the sheer trend, in this case a nude-coloured dress with black transparent fabric overlaid on top.

Bond girl Olga Kurylenko wears the fringeThey helped redefine women in the 1960s, so you'd expect nothing less from a James Bond girl than to be on trend in 2008. And in November this year that Bond girl will be former model Olga Kurylenko, when she appears as Camille, in the upcoming Quantum of Solace.
2008 Hair Trends: Styles, Cuts and Colours2007 was such a big year for hair trends that it's not too hard to see why so many hair trends in 2008 might feel familiar. While 2007 introduced us to the pob, it'll be its cousin the bob that we'll be wearing in 2008. And it's much the same story with the fringe trend: it was already with us at the start of 2007, had lost popularity by mid-year, but was brought back for 2008 by hypermodel Kate Moss in a completely new way. This year hair trends will range from boy-short crops to natural long tresses, with bobs in-between. We'll also be wearing various shapes of feminine, masculine, and elegant to name but a few, all taking their cues from the same eras as their parent clothing trends. So read on to find out the hair trends you'll be wearing in 2008. Pick a TrendWomen's Hair Cut Trends 2008The BobIt was only ever going to give way to a more traditional style: 2007's pob hair style and trend has given way to the bob in 2008, and it's perfect for the year. Amazingly versatile, there are so many ways to wear the pob this year that you're going to be perfectly on trend but still 100% unique. If you're more traditional wear it as a natural accompaniment to the revival of 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s fashion trends (think Catherine Zeta Jones in Chicago). Or go the other end of the spectrum with something far more modern: a longer, blunt cut bob like the one sported by Hana Soukupova (below left). Or how about letting out your inner sex kitten with the rock-chic version we've been fantasising about on Freja Beha Erichsen (below right)? You can make it your own in plenty of other ways: fringed or fringeless, blonde or brunette, short at the back, or blunt cut all over.

Keira Knightley gets the fringe hairstyleThe blunt-cut fringe trend is going from strength to strength at the moment, and ever since Kate Moss got hers it's shown no signs of slowing down. In fact, we're tipping it to be one of the major hair trends for 2008.
