Blogs > TrendsBright 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. Kate Moss' white plastic sungassesKate Moss seems to spend more time at Disney Land than perhaps most parents do. But I digress... we're here to talk about her sunglasses.
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. Rihanna loves her bright pink lipstickIt's not exactly what 2008's underwear as outerwear trend is all about, but Rihanna's H&M polka-dot bustier is certainly a match for her bold and slightly flamboyant personal style.
What is on trend, is Rihanna's bright pink lips. A makeup trend we're seeing more of, bright pink may not be for everyone but it does have a strong impact against Rihanna's darker skin tones. 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. Victoria Beckham in aviators & skinny flaresLike her or loathe her, Victoria Beckham is always up with the latest trends. She stepped out the other day in a casual outfit of large, darkly tinted aviators and a pair of skinny flared jeans.
Aviators are shaping up to be one of this year's major sunglasses trends. 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.
Mary-Kate Olsen nude lips and bold jewelryBright pink patent wasn't exactly an accessory trend we were anticipating... though Chanel have said it would be so. Mary-Kate Olsen wore one of their belts with a black Calvin Klein playsuit to the after-party of a 21 screening. Though pink patent may not be for everyone, she is certainly well on trend with the chunky jewellery she's wearing.
Kate Bosworth in bold pink lipstickWhile lipstick trends for 2008 and 2009 range far and wide, bold pink lipstick is one trend that is on the rise (read the full make-up trends guide here). Kate Bosworth was spotted last week brightening up an all-black outfit with bright pink lips and a dusting of warm blush.
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. |
