Celebrities are showing more and more shoulder these days. As the weather gets a little colder, celebrities are covering up their bodies a little bit more and using the shoulders as a peek-a-boo body part. Reese Witherspoon was seen wearing a beautiful lace gown that had an asymmetrical shoulder. Rihanna was also seen wearing a wonderful one-shouldered dress on the red carpet. If you are not sure about the asymmetrical neckline, look to the other celebrities such as Nicole Richie, Megan Fox and Miley Cyrus who have been wearing strapless dresses on the red carpet. Both strapless and asymmetrical dresses make wonderful party dresses for the upcoming holiday parties that you may have.

Not all women like wearing knee-high boots in the winter. For those women, there are alternatives that will still be in line with celebrity fashion trends. They are called booties. These shoes almost appear to look like boots, but they stop at the ankle bone on the leg. These shoes can be worn with skirts and dresses or even with your basic jeans. There are several celebrities that are fans of the booties, such as Blake Lively, Kate Moss, Sienna Miller and Kate Hudson. If you aren't sure if booties are for you, check out one of the celebrities' favorite designers, Rock and Republic, to get an idea if they would work for you.

So, what's the favorite color of the celebrities this winter? It seems like purple is going to be quite popular among celebrities this year. It was popular back in the summer and is continuing into the winter season. Everything from purple shoes to purple handbags and down to purple dresses and purple sweaters. Reese Witherspoon, Rihanna, Kelly Ripa and Taylor Swift. Look for purple tones that are richer and deeper like plums and mauves, instead of pastel purples. If you really aren't a purple wearing person, why not try out a purple cocktail ring to add just a splash of purple?

Follow the latest celebrity fashion trend by carrying about a handbag that makes a statement. This can mean a large tote handbag or even a smaller handbag that is a bold color, has beads or has a bold print. This season celebrities are letting their handbags speak for themselves. Choose a large, red, striped handbag like Blake Lively was seen carrying. Or you can go with a beautiful clutch that is covered in metallic sequins like the one by Be & D. This is actually one of the more doable celebrity fashion trends to follow because there are plenty of statement handbags that you can buy. Also, you don't have to be worried about it drawing as much attention to you as a statement top would. It's a more subtle statement.

Every woman knows that you can't go wrong with the little black dress. Well, celebrities are no exception on this one. You can find a little black dress popping up on every red carpet in Hollywood. Such celebrities as Charlize Theron, Kelly Ripa, Jennifer Aniston, Heidi Klum and Reese Witherspoon have all worn the little black dress and done it with style. When looking for your little black dress, look towards the celebrity style and find one that stands out a little bit. Maybe it's belted at the waist with a gold belt or has pleating in the front. Making your little black dress a little more interesting is a great way to stand out and still fit in at every event. This is a great time of year, with Christmas parties and events coming up, to invest in your little black dress.

One celebrity fashion trend that may take some more guts to pull off is the liquid latex leggings. These leggings appear as if they have been basically glued on to your legs. They appear to be leather but are actually latex. Celebrities such as Rihanna, Kate Moss, Lauren Conrad and Alicia Keys have all been rocking these leggings. But beware; these leggings are not for the ordinary, everyday person. They are for the person who wants to be noticed and get attention!

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?

Purple is definitely the "it" color with celebrities right now. From purple shirts to purple skirts to even purple evening dresses are all over Hollywood. Such celebrities as Isla Fisher, Rihanna, Hilary Duff, Beyonce and Lauren Conrad have all been rocking the purple lately. If you aren't sure about wearing purple, then add a splash of the color to your outfit instead of having it as a main color. Try some purple pumps or a necklace or bracelet with purple gems or even a purple clutch by Michael Kors. This gives you that pop of purple without being in your face.

Even though the holidays are still several months away, celebrities are bringing out the sparkle and glimmer early. Sparkle is a great look for a Christmas or New Year's Eve party. If you want to follow this trend early, why not try it on a date night or a night out on the town. Try a short silver sparkled mini-dress with black tights the way that Angie Harmon did. Or how about a cute little sparkly skirt or top like Kelly Ripa or Audrina Patridge. If you're shy about this trend and don't want to stick out in the crowd, why not go for the sparkle with your accessories. Add some cocktail rings that shine and sparkle or a belt that does the same. The possibilities are endless for the sparkle and glimmer fashion trend.

Lace is another big fashion trend in Hollywood right now, but there are a lot of people who think that they can't pull lace off. The key behind wearing lace is to make it look young and modern and not old and dowdy. Take examples from Scarlett Johansson, America Ferrera and Debra Messing. One thing that you always want to remember when wearing lace is that if it is see-through, you need to wear something underneath. If you have a lace dress, make sure that it has a slip or layer of fabric under it. Wearing lace is a great way to play up your feminine charm and look sophisticated at the same time. Lace can be worn to the office or a night out, depending on what you pair the outfit with, so it is rather versatile.

Have you ever seen a picture of a celebrity and wondered what they were thinking when they got dressed that day? Just because a person is a celebrity, does not mean that they always dress the best. Sometimes they get too outrageous in theiroutfits and maybe they think they can start a fashion trend, but it ends up being a huge fashion disaster. Now, everyone has probably worn an outfit and then looked back on it and said, "why did I wear that?" but celebrities are different. They know that the public is watching them all the time and most of them have access to personal stylists.

Let's look at a couple celebrities who have missed the fashion bus lately.

Brooke Shields was seen wearing what looked like a long, pink toga when she went out to dinner in California. And to top off the whole outfit, she paired the ugly, shapeless dress with hot pink Crocs. She looked like one of her daughters playing dress up in their mom's clothing.

Denise Richards was out shopping in New York in what looked like an I Dream Of Genie-inspired outfit. The outfit was all white with some beaded detail on the top and skirt. The top looked like a white halter-bikini top and the skirt was a long, white, flowing skirt. Why would it be necessary to be shopping in New York dressed like you were going to the beach?

Kelly Ripa was seen at an event in New York wearing what looked like a black peacock as a dress. The dress was all crazy black feathers and shag material with gold rings on it. It was quite awful.

Maggie Gyllenhaal wore what looked like a green, checkered muumuu with shiny, black balloon pants underneath to an event in New York City. There must be something about New York that makes celebrities choose awful outfits.

Michelle Trachtenberg was seen at an event in New York wearing a short, sparkly mini-dress with butterflies on it. She paired the dress, which was purple with huge butterflies, with black tights to make the outfit even more ridiculous.

There are a ton more examples of celebrities making horrible fashion choices, but then again, who hasn't made a bad fashion choice at least once?
