Celebrity women are ditching the dresses on the red carpet and instead are sporting power suits. In the past couple of months, there has been an increase of women celebrities wearing suits to red carpet events instead of the normal dress. Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, Penelope Cruz, Naomi Watts, Anne Hathaway, Kate Winslet, and Eva Longoria Parker have all worn suits to a red carpet event within the past couple of weeks. Another big celebrity that has been seen wearing a couple of different suits is Jennifer Aniston.

Celebrities seem to be making the suit more of a statement piece rather than a boring outfit that can only be worn to work. Celebrities know how to accessorize their suits and pick out the perfect pieces that flatter their body and make them look feminine.

To keep a suit looking feminine there are several things that celebrities do that you can also follow. The first would be to accessorize with big and bold jewelry. When Jennifer Aniston wore her black suit to the premier of her movie, she paired it with a long gold necklace that attracted attention. Amy Adams added layers of black beaded necklaces to her suit. For a look like Jennifer Aniston's try a necklace like this one by Roberto Cavalli.

Another way that celebrities like to keep their suits looking feminine and not like they are wearing their husband's suit are with tops that scream sexy and sleek. Again, look back at Jennifer Aniston's suit. She paired a black suit and wore a low cut black top underneath to add the hint of cleavage and sexiness to the outfit. Anne Hathaway also paired her black suit with a plain low-cut shell underneath which provided her with that added touch. If you don't want to go the low cut route, you can do what Naomi Watts did and pair the suit with a feminine and flirty blouse. Try blouses that have ruffles, ties, or are sheer for that added charm to the suit.

Celebrities are not always wearing red carpet dresses. No, most of the time a celebrity is photographed they are shopping, going to the airport, or just relaxing at lunch with a friend or significant other. So, how can you *look like a celebrity when you dress casually*? Here are some outfits that are staples for celebrities and their casual day looks.

Jeans and a white t-shirt. Just about every celebrity has been photographed wearing jeans and a white t-shirt, including men. Kate Hudson was just spotted wearing jeans with a white t-shirt as she headed through the airport. Although this look is really simple and plain, it is the ultimate look for cool and casual. Make sure to keep the t-shirt fitted so you don't look sloppy. You can add some style to the look by pairing the white tee with jeans that are faded or worn or go a bit dressier with trouser jeans and platform heels. You can also add a colorful scarf to the outfit or put on some funky jewelry pieces to add some more style.

Another casual look for celebrities is the cotton dress. The dress can be long or short. All that matters is that it is comfortable yet stylish. Celebrities such as Nicole Richie, Ashlee Simpson, Rachel Bilson and Natalie Portman are all fans of casual cotton dresses. There are tons of different ways you can take this celebrity fashion trend. You can keep it simple like this Moschino cotton dress, or you can choose a busier dress with flowers or one that is longer. The key to this celebrity fashion trend is to just keep it simple with clean lines and try to look like you aren't trying hard to be in style.

We see it every year - celebrities - walking the red carpet and wearing the wrong thing. What was the latest fiasco? It was the Grammy Awards. John Mayer wore a black Kung Fu suit. Lisa Rinna showed up looking like a Las Vegas show girl. And singer Duffy wore an ill-fitted, dowdy black dress that looked like her grandmother made it. With all of the money these celebs make, you'd think they'd be able to dress appropriately for a gala affair. Yet, the reason why they ALL can't do it is because they are just like us; they don't know what not to wear at a red carpet event because they rarely dress up.

Unless you are born in some obscure area as a prince or princess, you probably rarely dress up in formal attire. As a result, you don't have a clue about what NOT to wear at a red carpet event. Just like a celebrity, only a poorly received outfit will alert you to you to your fashion faux pas. Of course, then, it's too late. So, in order to avoid an embarrassing situation, here is some help. Below are 3 things you shouldn't wear to a red carpet event:

• Outfits that haven't been custom fitted

Whether you have a body shaped like a duck or a bathing suit model, formal clothing needs to be fitted to your form. Take any outfit you plan on wearing to a seamstress.

• Large, overpowering accessories

Don't use a red carpet event as a way to wear all of your garish jewelry. Keep it simple and elegant. Wear only one signature piece. If you go further than that, you'll look over accessorized.

• Tennis shoes and other oddities

Only Jerry Seinfeld and a few popular rappers can get away with wearing tennis shoes and other odd things to a red carpet event. The rest of us have to take it more seriously and wear formal attire. Keep this in mind and go for classic attire, colors and cuts.

Follow these three suggestions and you'll walk any red carpet event with style.

Celebrities are making more and more of a statement with their shoes. Their shoes are the main attraction on the red carpet. When looking for attention-getting shoes like the celebrities, think shoes that have spikes, crazy cut-outs, bows, flowers and studs. Celebrities such as Nicole Richie, Eva Longoria Parker and Fergie all like to sport the dramatic-statement shoes. One thing to remember when trying to follow this celebrity fashion trend, make sure that your shoes are comfortable and wearable if you are going to be wearing them all night.

If you aren't that interested in "notice me" shoes, how about a bold handbag to add to your outfit? Celebrities are still carrying around bold and dramatic handbags. No longer are plain black and brown handbags acceptable in Hollywood. No, you have to be like Blake Lively, Jessica Simpson or Paris Hilton and carry around a handbag that is a bold color or has unique accessories on it. Think bright pink like the bag that Alexander McQueenmakes or a geometric print handbag like Kate Spade designed. This fashion trend is definitely going to be carried into the spring months, because spring is known for color. So go ahead, take a leap and go for this celebrity fashion trend and you can act like you are Paris Hilton walking down the streets of Hollywood.

Celebrities like Rihanna, Nicole Richie and Miley Cyrus all love to make a statement with their jewelry. Look for big, chunky pieces of jewelry that sparkle and shine. Bracelets, necklaces, watches and even rings are popular choices among celebrities. To really follow this celebrity fashion trend, make sure that you are not adding too much jewelry to your outfit. You really want one or two key pieces that pop and make people take notice. If you wear too many big jewelry pieces, you may just get lost in them and that is not a celebrity fashion trend!

The most highly anticipated fashion show of the year is the red carpet at the Oscars. For designers it's a chance to shine, and fashion week aside, the most memorable fashion moments for fashion followers in the past 20 years have been Nicole Kidman in chartreuse Dior (high point) and Bjork and her swan apparel (low point for style, high point for humor).

It's a little early for Oscar fashion predictions, since the nominees haven't even been announced yet, but here's a rundown of potential nominees, and what I hope they'll wear in February:

Anne Hathaway: Anne Hathaway is my favorite Jersey girl (she grew up two towns away from me), but she's had a very difficult year. The wattage of her superstar smile has dimmed a bit, but surely winning an Oscar would give it a little more juice. If I were styling Anne, I'd put her in severe black Dior with a "New Look" silhouette; it would show off her alabaster skin to perfection, and John Galliano can go a long way toward helping anyone make the transition from girl to woman.

Angelina Jolie: I guess I'm into high contrast, but Ms. Jolie has the severe look down pat, so I'd like to see her sharp edges blurred a bit (anyone who's the mom to six kids and counting has to be a marshmallow at the core). I envision her in a 1930s-inspired, bias-cut satin Verrier gown (Ashleigh Verrier, protégé to Tim Gunn and one of New York's hottest young designers) in a pale celadon.

Kate Winslet: She's been seen at the Oscars in Badgley Mischka before to great acclaim, but in my opinion, the color could use a little tweaking ... Badgley Mischka, yes. Periwinkle, not so much. I'd love to see her in a soft cinnamon with a neckline that shows off her amazing shoulders.

Amy Adams: Amy Adams has that all-American look about her, which is why I'd dress her in "America's Favorite Designer," Ralph Lauren. There's a beautiful champagne satin party dress in his Black Label line that would look amazing with her coloring, but it's only knee-length. Surely she could make an impact this way by standing out.
