As we head into the fall season, it appears that shirt dresses will still be popular with celebrities. Shirt dresses are a great way to be casual but still trendy. Basically, a shirt dress looks like a long structured shirt. Most of the time it is a button-up dress and sometimes has a tie or belt around the waist. Blake Lively was seen wearing a blue shirt dress as she headed to the David Letterman show. Other celebrities such as Kelly Ripa and Katie Holmes have also sported shirt dresses. To go for a dressier look, pair a shirt dress with some high heels by Alexander McQueen . And to go for a more casual day look, pair the shirt dress with some cute flats by Marc Jacobs.

Well, it seems that not all celebrities like to wear skin tight dresses and skirts, which is good to know. Full skirt dresses have been seen all over in Hollywood. America Ferrera was just seen wearing a full skirt dress to an awards night. The full skirt dress can help camouflage a tummy or love handles, not that celebrities know what those are! Other celebrities that have been seen all dressed up in full skirts are Scarlett Johansson, Debra Messing, Minka Kelly and Paris Hilton. Full skirt dresses make a great alternative to having a tight dress if you are uncomfortable with your body. This is a definite celebrity fashion trend that should be followed.

Trench coats are timeless and celebrities are seen wearing them all the time. Trench coats are a great option for fall. As the weather gets colder, don’t ruin an outfit with a bad coat, but invest in a good trench coat. Of course, someone like Anne Hathaway, who almost always dresses in classic pieces, has been seen wearing trench coats quite often. Other celebrities such as Mandy Moore get more creative with their trench coats and opt for bolder colors such as yellow. Black, tan and white trench coats are all classic pieces and can be worn with just about anything. Celebrities just love the black trench by Jean Paul Gaultier , because it is a classic piece that will never go out of style.

We all know that celebrities have plenty of money to spend on jewelry and accessories, and they are definitely showing that off. A big trend in jewelry with celebrities is big cocktail rings. They can be worn to red carpet events or just dates on the town. It seems like the bigger the better. Such celebrities as Fergie, Mariah Carey, Eva Longoria, Carmen Electra, Paris Hilton, Blake Lively and so many more have been seen sporting huge cocktail rings around Hollywood. The rings are definitely noticeable and catch the eye quickly. Rihanna is almost always photographed wearing some sort of huge cocktail ring on her fingers, and usually more than one. Although celebrities may pay thousands of dollars for some of their rings, some of them actually go the cheaper route. Marc Jacobs makes cocktails rings that are not that expensive and can be afforded by the average person. Try out his cocktail rings on your next date out to help you feel like a celebrity.

As summer winds down, it seems like celebrities are getting in their last days of summer fashion with tunic dresses. Tunic dresses are usually mini-dresses that are not really form fitting and are usually in a bohemian print or style. If you don’t dare wear a mini-dress out in public, a tunic dress can also be worn with a skinny pair of jeans underneath. This will also help you take this celebrity trend into the fall. Such celebrities as Nicky Hilton, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Rachel Bilson, and Hayden Panettiere seem to love tunic dresses and have worn quite a few of them. For a more defined look, pair your tunic dress with a belt, like the ones from Dolce and Gabbana as Rachel Bilson did.

The tunic dress can be worn in two different styles. To go for more of a casual look for your tunic dress, do what Nicky Hilton does and pair it with a pair of flat sandals. To make the tunic dress more of a dressy outfit, pair it with a pair of high heeled sandals as Carmen Electradoes.

Celebrities don’t always make wise decisions in the shoe department. I mean, have you seen some of the shoes they wear? Stiletto heels that are 6 inches high or platform shoes that look like you may fall over in them. But sometimes they do get it right and start a fashion trend that is actually comfortable. Take for instance boots and ballet flats.

Before you know it, Fall will be here and one staple that you should have in your wardrobe, if you want to look like a celebrity, is a pair of boots. So many celebrities have been seen wearing boots even in the summer. Now, I am not saying to go out in the scorching hot summer and pair shorts with boots like Hilary Duff did, but why not start your shopping early for fall and stay on trend with celebrities? There are tons of different styles of boots, from ankle boots to knee-high ones. There are plain boots, moccasin boots and even cowboy boots. Celebrities seem to love Marc Jacobs and his shoes. Well, Marc Jacobs makes an amazing pair of boots, and the celebrities would approve of them, as Jessica Simpson and Mischa Barton all have been seen wearing boots by Marc Jacobs .

Another big trend with shoes among celebrities is still the classic ballet flats. Ballet flats can be worn in spring, summer and even into the fall. You can even wear dark colored ballet flats into winter as long as you are not walking through five feet of snow. They are basically a shoe for all seasons. Such celebrities such as Blake Lively, Jessica Biel, Katie Holmes, Naomi Watts, Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan all wear ballet flats around town. For once celebrities actually got it right, since ballet flats are such a comfortable shoe. You can wear them in a variety of colors and designs. Some have adornments on them and others are just plain. One of the most popular flats is by Elie Tahari . They come in so many different colors and styles that you are sure to find one that suits your outfit and style.

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 their outfits 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?

Who wears short shorts? Celebrities do, that’s who. So many celebrities have been seen walking around this summer in short shorts . I guess if they have the body, which they do, why not show it off? There are a couple different trends for the shorts among them.

People like Nicole Richie, Kate Moss, and Nicky Hilton have sported the frayed look for their short shorts. To get this look, all you have to do is cut a pair of your jeans into tiny little shorts and wash in the washing machine and they will come out with the fray on the bottom of them. Pair your frayed short shorts with a tunic or sleeveless tank and you are all set. And then you too can look like a celebrity.

Another trend with the short shorts with celebrities are the cuffed shorts. Stars such as Hayden Panettiere, Audrina Patridge, Mariah Carey, and Lindsay Lohan have all sported cuffed short shorts. But beware! Some of the shorts these celebs have been wearing cost $160 and much more. A little much for a pair of barely there shorts, right?

Dressing like a celebrity does not have to cost as much as you think it would. You can get a pair of 575 Denim shorts for just $117!

A couple of celebrities have come out with clothing lines and accessories that can fit into most people’s budgets, and they even wear the clothing themselves. Amanda Bynes has released a clothing line for a store called Steve and Barry’s, in which nothing is over $30. Amanda was seen wearing one of her blue strapless dresses from her own line. The dress only retails for $11. Another celebrity that has come out with affordable fashion is Tori Spelling. She sells affordable jewelry on the Home Shopping Network. She comes up with inexpensive costume jewelry that she also wears herself. So, who says that you have to break the bank to look like a celebrity, instead just buy the celebrities’ fashions that they sell.

The one shoulder dress has returned with celebrities.

Several celebrities have been seen wearing one shoulder dresses at events and parties. The one shoulder dress highlights the arms and the back and keeps the look sophisticated. Kate Moss is very into one shoulder dresses. Liv Tyler was seen wearing a one shoulder dress by Stella McCartney to the Incredible Hulk premiere. Other celebrities that glam it up in one shoulder dresses are Mandy Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow, Charlize Theron, Paris Hilton, Anne Hathaway and Becki Newton. The one shoulder dress is not the only article of clothing that is trendy with celebrities right now. Look out for one shoulder tops and blouses and also one shoulder bathing suits.

Yellow, yellow and more yellow. It seems like everywhere you turn you see someone wearing this bright summertime color. Yellow is huge among celebrities right now. Molly Sims wore a long yellow Versace dress on the red carpet, while Emmy Rossum sported a short yellow Phillip Lim dress to an event. The most dramatic yellow dress was worn by Rihanna. The dress was a long layered tiered dress by Giambattista Valli. She looked like she could have been Belle from “Beauty and the Beast.” Shirts and shoes in yellow are also very trendy right now. If you are unsure about wearing a yellow dress, opt for a yellow shirt or add a splash of color to an outfit with yellow shoes . Just don’t pair your yellow with too much black, as you may end up looking like a bumblebee.

They always say that fashion tends come back someday and I guess they are right. Celebrities have been seen sporting Members Only jackets. If you are old enough to remember, Members Only jackets were very popular and trendy back in the ’80s. Well, the leather and nylon jackets are making a comeback with the celebrities of today.

Fergie was seen sporting a purple nylon Members Only jacket when she performed on The Today Show. She later paired an ivory Members Only jacket with a dress at the premiere of Sex and the City in New York. Other stars, such as Mariah Carey and Miley Cyrus, also have been seen wearing these jackets. Buyer beware, the jackets are not cheap and who knows how long this trend may stay around again.

Most people think that scarves are just for the winter time, but apparently celebrities like to wear them in summer also. So many celebrities have been seen sporting scarves around their neck in the summer months. Now, with some of the heat waves we have been experiencing, I’m not sure this is one trend that I want to follow.

The brand Love Quotes is a very popular pick among celebrities for scarves. Rachel Bilson, Lauren Conrad, Nicky Hilton, Hilary Duff and Amanda Bynes have been seen wearing scarves from Love Quotes. The scarves come in a wide range of colors from cherry pie to haze. They retail for $85. The scarves can be worn several different ways: wrapped around the neck several times. wrapped once and hanging loose and wrapped around the neck and then bundled together in the front.

Red is always a hot color, but more and more celebrities have been seen sporting red on the red carpet. Stars such as Molly Sims, Debra Messing, Christie Brinkley and Renee Zellweger have all worn red dresses lately. Sara Ramirez wore a red David Mesiter strapless dress to a charity auction and she looked wonderful in the dress. If you want to try the red trend, then get ready to attract attention!

Quite a few celebrities are cutting off their locks and opting for a new shorter hairstyle. With the hot months of summer ahead, cutting your hair now is not a bad idea. There are plenty of different short styles so you can pick the one that would look the best on you. There are angled bobs, layered bobs and pixie cuts just for example. If you do choose to cut your hair like a celebrity, remember that short hair needs to be trimmed more often to retain its style and cut.

Gwyneth Paltrow is probably the best example of a celebrity cutting their hair into a shorter style. Gwyneth cut off approximately 10 inches of her hair, so now it lands right above her shoulders. She went from really long straight hair to a short style with long layers. She has been seen wearing her hair wavy and straight.

Anne Hathaway is another celebrity who just cut off your locks. She went from long hair, down several inches past her shoulders, to a cut above her shoulders. She also has been seen wearing her new shorter do both curly and straight. Her hair is naturally curly, so layers were cut into her hair to make it more manageable. If you have naturally curly hair and want a short hair cut, I would recommend taking a peak at Anne’s hair before heading to the salon.

Several other celebrities are rocking the short hairdos also. Katie Holmes cut her hair into a short bob a while back and recently cut it even shorter. I think that she looks more grown up with her new style and definitely does not look like Joey Potter from Dawson’s Creek anymore.

Michelle Williams also has been sporting a short pixie cut for a while too. Her short blonde locks are an extreme for most people, but it does suit her well. Other stars who are sporting the short cuts include Tori Spelling, Sophia Bush, Kerry Washington, Rihanna and Christina Ricci.

So I say, go ahead and take the plunge. Follow the trend and cut your hair. There are always extensions. Isn’t that what stars do anyway?
