A major part of women's Spring-Summer 2008 fashion trends, the single-shouldered dress features a fish-net shoulder, black hatching, a ruffle hem, and a nude-coloured backing. It's one of Jean Paul Gaultier's mermaid-inspired gowns. Gwyneth Paltrow in the sheer and tuxedo trendThere's little doubt that Gwyneth Paltrow is on a major come-back trail. With her fresh new hairstyle, taunt and terrific figure, and sexed-up sense of style, her Ironman publicity tour is getting her lots of attention.
At the UK Charity Premiere of the film she was right on trend with a super-short mini-dress with sheer lace neckline (a nice take on this year's sheer trend), and a tuxedo-style jacket. And can you spot another trend? Fashion Inspirations: The MermaidAnyone who has read the original Hans Christian Andersen tale The Little Mermaid will know it wasn't all wedding bells and happy endings for Ariel, as Disney would have us believe. The Prince married the human Princess and Ariel died of a broken heart, throwing herself back into the sea to become part of it, and living as a sort of spirit that might some day redeem herself to become a soul. The mermaid myth has long existed, influencing art and culture throughout time. Typically, the mermaid is pretty and gentle, with long hair and a sweet voice - she is deep and mysterious, and has an innocence which sets her apart from her darker and more seductive cousin, the Siren.
Bright red still a colour trendWe've been watching bright red for a while, in particular since this red number on Natalie Portman prompted me to consider adding more red to my wardrobe. The appearances of bright red dresses on the red carpets and even down the streets are still numerous.
Here are just three recent examples: Victoria Beckham, Kristen Cavallari, and Sadie Frost. Leelee Sobiesky goes sheer with laceOk, question: does anyone know what Leelee Sobiesky actually does these days? A quick search on IMDB tells me she's still making films, albeit none that I've heard of... and so if nothing else I have noticed she manages to get out and about and photographed quite a lot.
Good for her. Here she is going out to dinner the other night looking all rosy-cheeked and wearing this year's sheer trend, in the form of a cute summery dress with sheer lace panels. Kate Bosworth black sheer-sleeved gownKate Bosworth wore a fantastic example of the sheer clothing trend last week, donning a black dress with sheer sleeves and back for an awards ceremony in Las Vegas.
Lily Allen tuxedo and 30's hair trendOnce known more for her middle class attitude, songstress Lily Allen is fast becoming known for her fashion choices.

Diane Kruger wears the tuxedo trendTuxedo dressing for women is one of 2008's big trends. And Diane Kruger is, as always, one of the early adopters. Kruger has had some amazing Chanel moments recently, and though she has no trouble pulling off the man-style dinner jacket and bow-tie look, the cut on this little number doesn't quite do her justice. 
Natalie Portman wears nude fashion trendThere's a distinct advantage to being a celebrity: access to the coming year's clothing trends before us mere mortals. Natalie Portman put that advantage into practice at the première for 'The Other Boleyn Girl' - stealing the spotlight by wearing the nude / see-through fashion trend.
