Sparkle, sparkle and more sparkle. That is what celebrities are wearing this season. From everything from a sparkling cocktail dress to a sparkling cocktail ring can be seen on the women of Hollywood. With the holiday party season among us, it seems that celebrities are once again setting the fashion trends with sparkling jewelry, accessories and clothes.

If you are heading out to a holiday party and you want to shine and stand out, do what celebrities like Ashley Tisdale, Beyonce, Jennifer Connelly and Heidi Klum do when stepping out and wear a sparkling cocktail dress that will draw the attention of everybody. When wearing your sparkling cocktail dress, remember that you want to look appropriate for the type of party or event you are going to and that you want to wear a dress that is modern and doesn't look like you just stepped out of the 80's. Keep your sparkling dress to a modern and sleek fit.

If you want to be more subdued this holiday season, you can still sparkle like the celebrities and keep it modest. Look for sparkling jewelry to add some drama to your outfit. Look for big chandelier earrings, layered necklaces, bracelet cuffs and bangles. Another way that you can add some sparkle to your outfit is to pair it with a great belt. Adding a sparkling belt adds just enough to an outfit to keep it trendy and hip. One of the celebrities' favorites for belts is Alexander McQueen. They are hip, trendy and add some drama to your outfit just like celebrities do.

There are a couple of other ways that you can add some sparkle to your outfit. Look for metallic colored shoes that shine. Add a beaded or sequined clutch or small handbag to complete your outfit and add just a hint of sparkle. There are quite a few ways that you can add sparkle to your holiday outfits this season, you just have to be creative like the celebrities.

Could Madonna be losing a husband and a child? Madonna adopted little David in 2006 from Malawi and promised David's father that she would take good care of him. Well, David's biological father has now come out to say that he feels bad for David because of all of the photographers pushing to get pictures, and Madonna's impending divorce has added even more unrest. Since Madonna adopted David, his biological father has gotten a new wife, had two other children and also has provided a home for his family in Malawi. David's father had this to say about the situation, "But now, when I think of David in danger of living outside a family life, I find it unbearable." As you may remember, Madonna had trouble adopting David in the first place, because he was from Malawi and there were certain laws that had to be followed. Could this be a way for little David's father to get him back from Madonna? You never know.

Comedian Sasha Baron Cohen and actress Isla Fisher celebrated their daughter Olive's first birthday with a celebrity filled party. They threw a country western first birthday party with all the works. The celebrity guest list included Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox with her daughter Coco, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, Dustin Hoffman and Tobey Maguire with his daughter Ruby. What will her second birthday party be like, let alone her sweet sixteen?

It's official. High School Musical heartthrob, Zac Efron is now 21. Efron laid low for his 21st birthday, celebrating with his girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens, and close family and friends at L.A.'s Pace restaurant. Some of the guest included Monique Coleman, Ashley Tisdale, Amanda Bynes, Brittany Snow and Michelle Trachtenberg. Efron left the restaurant with Hudgens just around midnight and headed off to a local hotel with a couple of the guest to continue the party. I'm actually pretty happy to see that some young Hollywood stars know how to celebrate and not make fools of themselves. Good for them!

What do you wear when you are going on a nice date night or to a casual holiday party? Well, you could follow the celebrity trend and try a feminine blouse. It seems like the ruffled and feminine blouse is back in fashion. It's a great option to wear to work or when you are going out. Several celebrities such as Anne Hathaway, Kelly Ripa and Brooke Shields have all been bringing this fashion trend back. They key to wearing this blouse this season is to make sure that it is not too big on you and shows off your body shape. Try feminine blouses with ruffles and ties around the neck, like the blouses that Cavalli designs.

If you rather show off your body in a dress for your holiday party, try another celebrity trend with a striped, strapless dress. America Ferrera, Hayden Panettiere and Blake Lively have gone the striped-strapless-dress route and looked really great. The key to wearing a striped, strapless dress is to make sure that there are not stripes going down the entire dress, especially if the dress is tight. Instead, there should be blocks of stripes such as just along the bust line or big stripes that are actually more like blocks of color. When wearing a striped, strapless dress, keep the rest of the look simple with clean jewelry and shoes.

US Magazine threw their annual Hot Hollywood bash, and one of the biggest celebrity trends for the ladies was patterns. Every celebrity that you looked at had some sort of pattern on. There were pinstripes, paisleys, geometric patterns, leopard print and all sorts of loud and out-there patterns. It seemed like celebrities were shunning plain clothing for the night. Some of the ladies who attended the bash and wore patterns were Miranda Lambert, Ashley Tisdale, Blake Lively and Vanessa Hudgens. When wearing a pattern, especially a very bold one, make sure that you keep everything else simple, because you don't want to look like you are desperate for attention. Patterns are definitely one fashion trend that anyone can follow.

Even with the fall season here, celebrities are still sporting mini-dresses. You can spot celebrities walking down the street in mini-dresses, attending red carpet events in mini-dresses and partying on the town in mini-dresses. It seems like this is one celebrity fashion trend that is not going anywhere anytime soon. Celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Diane Kruger, Cameron Diaz and Ashley Tisdale are seen in mini-dresses all the time. If you want to follow this celebrity trend into the cooler weather, think about pairing a knee-high boot with the mini-dress to keep warmer and give your outfit more of a colder weather look. Cavalli makes some beautiful mini-dresses that even have long sleeves to make the look fit into the cold weather even better.

Another celebrity fashion trend that is gaining popularity this fall season is tweed. Tweed is classic style that is very wearable. You can wear a tweed suit or dress to the office, and then even out to drinks afterwards. Victoria Beckham and Kelly Ripa were just seen wearing tweed dresses paired with black boots. Not only is tweed a trend with celebrities, it is actually a classic that will be around for quite some time. If you aren't sure about tweed, try out just a tweed blazer with jeans or a tweed skirt with a blouse.

It seems like one old-fashion rule that has been thrown out with celebrities is not wearing white after Labor Day. Several celebrities have been seen wearing white dresses and pants into the fall season. Jennifer Lopez just wore a white dress to her husband's birthday party. The key to wearing white after Labor Day is to wear the right type of fabrics. Stick to heavier fabrics such as wools and heavy cottons and avoid the lighter fabrics such as linen and silk. Why not act like a celebrity and break the rules of fashion this year and wear your white after Labor Day?

So many celebrities are talking out about how the paparazzi are getting out of control. The latest celebrity talking is High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale. She recently told Access Hollywood that a member of the paparazzi broke into her house to get footage of her. She stated, "They broke in an entry and went into the hall and followed my stylist." The cops were quickly called and took the man away, and the good thing for Ashley is she said that she has not seen the man since. This has to be so scary for her. She's a young woman and has to worry about paparazzi breaking into her house just to get some pictures of her. I know that there is a price for being a celebrity, but when it comes to this, something needs to be done.

In another shocker, Angelina Jolie tells W Magazine that she has already bought her 7-year-old son Maddox knives to play with. She said that her mom gave her daggers when she was around 11 or 12 and she has been obsessed with them ever since. Now, her son Maddox is into them. Okay, who in their right mind gives a 7-year-old boy knives? I don't care who she is, in my opinion that is just wrong. Isn't Angelina Jolie the person that is all about no war and violence and loves the earth? But she takes on movie roles in which there is fighting and violence and then gives her son knives.

After all the mean rumors that have been going around about Eva Longoria Parker and how she has gotten fat, Eva has come out and announced that she is still a size 0. Eva states that "I just got rounder." Eva has told the press in the past that, no, she is not pregnant, and that she gained some weight for her role on her television show Desperate Housewives. I don't understand why they just can't leave Eva alone. Whoever thinks that a size 0 is fat needs their head examined. Eva is still beautiful and most women would die to have her body!

A big trend among celebrities right now is wearing a another person's face on their t-shirt. The person on the t-shirt is usually a well-known pop idol or famous celebrity from the past.

Did you forget what you looked like, that you had to wear a shirt with your own picture on it? These shirts are not cheap at all. A Steve McQueen picture shirt from Dolce and Gabbana retails for $245.

Another trend that is staying strong with celebrities is the wearing of vests by women.

Kim Kardashian was seen wearing a fitted black vest with a white tank underneath. She kept it casual with a pair of nice jeans. If you want to wear this trend, keep the vest fitted and wear it with a longer shirt underneath. There is no need to expose your stomach with this trend. Mischa Barton has been seen wearing vest quite a few times also. Vest can be seen all over the runway, worn several different ways. It can be seen paired with a dress or pants. You can even get away with wearing a vest to the office. Pair it with a cute pair of trousers or a pencil skirt and you have a perfect office appropriate outfit that looks super trendy and cute.

You can easily find cheaper vests at the mall at your favorite store and do not have to splurge on a designer one. Make sure that it fits well and you are good to go.

The last celebrity trend that we will discuss today is the maxi dress. A maxi dress is a long dress that hits the ankle or the floor. Tons of celebrities are sporting these dresses. The most popular celebrity that can be seen in maxi dresses is Angelina Jolie.

While she is pregnant with her twins, it seems like almost every picture you see of her, she is in a maxi dress. The maxi dress is her staple fashion piece. Another pregnant celebrity, Gwen Stefani, has also been seen wearing quite a few maxi dresses around.

The maxi dress is not just for pregnant celebrities though. Kristen Bell wore a blue and white maxi dress to her movie premier. Nicole Richie and Jennifer Love Hewitt also have been seen wearing maxi dresses, as well as Lauren Conrad for the Hills. The maxi dress can be strapless, a halter top, or spaghetti straps. Most are patterned with bright colors or floral. Although, this trend is not for everybody, it can be worn both casual or dressy. If you want to wear a maxi dress, you may have to try on a couple different styles and make sure that the dress is not too long on you. Also, you do not want a completely shapeless dress, as you may look like you are wearing a muumuu and not the latest fashion trend.
