It appears that celebrities are getting back to the feminine and flirty fashion trends. One of the big fashion trends among celebrities right now are ruffles. In fact Reese Witherspoon was just seen wearing a dress with ruffles at a celebrity event. They key to wearing ruffles is to keep them from overpowering you. Like Reese’s dress, a small ruffle around the neckline, especially in v-necks and lower necklines, add some feminine touches to the outfit without taking over the whole outfit. Ruffles don’t have to be strictly on dresses though, they can also be on shirts, like this Robert Rodriguez one and even skirts. Other celebrities that have been wearing ruffles lately include, Nicole Richie, Mischa Barton, Taylor Swift, and Keira Knightley.

Another feminine fashion trend that celebrities have been following are bows. It could be a simple bow on a shoe or handbag, or one that makes a slightly larger statement on a shirt or dress. A large bow can add some interest to an outfit, but if you are not comfortable with that, you can always opt for a smaller bow for a more sophisticated look. Such celebrities as Drew Barrymore and Eva Longoria Parker have been spotted wearing dresses with large and dramatic bows. On the other hand, Reese Witherspoon and Katie Holmes chose to sport outfits with small bows to add some detail and a flirty touch to their outfits.

The last feminine and flirt fashion trend that celebrities have been following is the lace trend. Lace is a great way to bring out a flirty and feminine side. You can choose from a full lace outfit to just a touch of lace here and there. Lace dresses have been seen all of the red carpet along with shirts and even skirts. Celebrities such as Anne Hathaway, Blake Lively, Emmy Rossum, and Thandie Newton have all worn lace dresses on the red carpet. When following the lace fashion trend make sure to keep the overall piece pretty subtle and not too sexy so that it does not look like lingerie. You want to be flirty and feminine not trashy.

There are a couple of classic celebrity fashion trends that seem to never go out of style. In fact, these fashion trends are classic looks for just about anybody.

The first classic celebrity fashion trend is the black pencil skirt . There is no way that you can go wrong with a black pencil skirt. You can go for the professional look and pair it with a fitted blouse that you tuck in like Jessica Alba did. Or you can go a little bit sexier and pair it with a low-cut top like Lindsay Lohan did. A variation on this classic fashion trend is to choose a pencil skirt that has a really high waist, tuck in the shirt and put a wide belt around the waist. This is the most popular way celebrities are wearing this fashion trend now.

Another classic celebrity fashion trend is tweed trousers . Some people may think of tweed trousers for older woman, but that is not the case. Tweed trousers can be sophisticated but also add some style to a boring outfit. Celebrities such as Katie Holmes and Liv Tyler have been spotted a couple of times wearing tweed trousers, and they are not old. They make the pants look stylish yet put together. They key to wearing tweed trousers is to keep the look young. Make sure the trousers fit well and pair them with a stylish top or jacket. Add some funky jewelry to glam up the outfit.

Lastly, printed blouses are another classic celebrity fashion trend. The print on the blouse can be anything from floral to polka dots, like this one from Just Cavalli . The main thing to remember with this fashion trend is to only wear the print on the blouse and pair it with something simple on the bottom like black dress pants or jeans. Choose a feminine blouse that adds some charm to your outfit. Celebrities such as Heidi Klum, Vanessa Hudgens and Nicole Kidman are big supporters of printed blouses.

It appears that celebrities are still keeping the skinny jeans around. This is no passing fashion trend. Stars are still rocking out in their skinny jeans. I guess when you are a size 0, you can keep this fashion trend going and not worry about how you look. The newest trend with the skinny jeans are gray colored skinny jeans. So many celebrities have been now spotted wearing gray skinny jeans, usually with a white top. Jessica Alba was just photographed the other day in her gray skinny jeans paired with a white tee and yellow flats. The other color for skinny jeans that looks to be in fashion with celebrities is white. Now, white skinny jeans may be one of the hardest looks to pull off, but celebrities seem to be doing it just fine. The key is to find balance on the top. Get a pair of white skinny jeans, like these from Just Cavalli and pair them with a blousy top. Don’t go with the tight top if you are going with the tight jeans. Instead, think about a flowy top paired with high heels. This is an easier look to pull of for the average girl.

Another trend in the jean department are the ripped and shredded jeans. Yes, these are back in style, especially with casually dressed celebrities. Katie Holmes, Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie, Megan Fox, and Lindsay Lohan have all been spotted wearing ripped and shredded jeans within the past couple of weeks. Now, these ripped jeans can also be skinny jeans. They can be boot cut jeans or even flare legged jeans. The key to this fashion trend is basically that they look, ripped, worn, or shredded on the legs. And yes, if you have looked online for jeans or at any store, they make them this way and you don’t have to do it yourself. This is definitely a casual look and is not made for going nicer places such as on dates or nights out on the town. Leave this look for casual shopping trips and runs to Starbucks.

A hot celebrity trend with accessories right now is the headband. Not just an ordinary headband, but the hippie-inspired headband. And celebrities like Nicole Richie, Mischa Barton, and Miley Cyrus aren’t wearing the headbands on top of their head. Instead, the celebrity trend is to wear the headband across your forehead, over your hair. Now to many people this may look pretty funny and quite odd, but it seems like celebrities like to wear headbands this way. I don’t know how this can be comfortable, as it would drive me crazy having the headband across my forehead. This may be one celebrity fashion trend that the average person may not be able to pull off as people may just think your headband slipped down off your head!

Celebrities are keeping warm this cold winter season with turtleneck dresses. This is one fashion trend that the average person can follow and feel comfortable in. Turtleneck dresses can be long, like the one that Beyonce wore, or on the shorter side, like the dress that Emma Roberts wore. One of the key things to remember if you are going to be pulling off this celebrity fashion trend is to make sure that the turtleneck dress is fitted. You don’t want to leave the house in a big, shapeless turtleneck dress and look like your grandma wearing a big muumuu. Also, keep the dress simple, like an all black or red dress to make it look more sophisticated and trendy just like the black turtleneck dress by designer GF Ferre.

Celebrities also seem to be gravitating towards polka dots this season. Katie Holmes, Jennifer Connelly and Christina Ricci all have worn polka dot pieces of clothing in the past couple of weeks. This polka dot fashion trend can be worn big or small. You can keep it simple with a polka dot blouse like Jennifer Connelly’s or try to go for more polka dots with a dress like Christina Ricci’s. This is another fashion trend that should be played down. If you have a polka dot blouse, pair it with a plain black skirt. If you are wearing a polka dot dress, make sure to keep your accessories, shoes and hair simple.

According to Access Hollywood, singer Fergie and actor Josh Duhamel will be getting married next week. The wedding will be the weekend of January 9 and take place in southern California. The couple has been engaged for a little over a year. They were recently seen scanning items at a local Crate and Barrel store, but told others they were registering for “Christmas gifts,” not wedding ones. Hopefully, for this couple, the public leaves them alone and allows them to have the wedding that they want.

So, if you are the wife of Tom Cruise, how do you celebrate your 30th birthday? Apparently with a cake from your husband and the whole audience of your Broadway show singing “Happy Birthday” to you. Katie Holmes was given a special birthday cake when the curtain fell for her performance in All My Sons. Although Cruise was not at the performance (he was at his movie premiere in Los Angeles) he set up the whole thing for Katie’s birthday. What a great husband, but I still think that this couple of Cruise and Holmes are just a little odd.

Working for magician David Copperfield can be quite dangerous. An employee of Copperfield’s got his arm broken after a trick went wrong on the stage. The employee was helping during a fan trick and got his arm caught in the fan. The executive producer of the show calls this a “freak accident,” as the trick has been performed by David over 3,000 times. The hurt employee is recovering in the hospital and Copperfield will continue to perform this fan trick in his show.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the pending divorce of Jodie Sweetin and her husband Cody Herpin. It appears that there is some new information that has been made public about their split. According to court papers, Sweetin and her husband are dead broke. Their house is in foreclosure, their water has been turned off in the past, and they have several other past-due bills. Sweetin is claiming that Herpin quit work when they got married and “kept finding one excuse after another for his failure to even attempt to find employment.” They survived solely off residuals from Full House. There are also claims that Herpin threatened to take away their daughter from Sweetin if she left. Herpin denies these allegations and says that he was a stay-at-home dad and didn’t know this was a problem. He didn’t realize that when their water got turned off, that maybe he should get off his butt and get a job? This whole relationship seems like a mess, and the one person that you feel sorry for is their daughter.

Another split in Hollywood involves actor Chris Klein and his girlfriend of two years Ginnifer Goodwin. According to a friend of the actress, the split was “mutual and amicable.” If you remember, Klein was dating Katie Holmes for quite awhile, and then just a short time after they broke up she hooked up with Tom Cruise. Now, Katie is married to Tom and has a daughter and seems to be happy. Maybe this breakup with Klein will have the same effect for Goodwin. She can meet her future husband now!

For a happy ending to this post, John Rich from the country group, Big and Rich married his longtime girlfriend, Joan Bush this past week. The couple had a small wedding in Nashville and kept it low-key — just like their relationship. Wishing this couple all the best of luck and hoping they don’t end like Jody Sweetin and her husband.

How did the Cruise family celebrate Thanksgiving this year? It appears that Tom, Katie, Suri, Isabella and Connor spent Thanksgiving with their friends the Beckhams. The two families celebrated Thanksgiving Day together in New York City. The families attended the Big Apple Circus and also took a horse and carriage ride through Central Park. The Cruises and the Beckhams have been friends for awhile now, but can you imagine walking through New York and just seeing these two families hanging out together? I bet all the New York tourists loved that.

There have been tons of rumors circulating that the actresses on 90210 have eating disorders. When comparing pictures of actress Shenae Grimes before and after she went on the show, it does appear that she has lost some weight. In my opinion, she is too skinny. But she has gone on the defense and came out to say that she does not have an eating disorder. She told People Magazine that she is not too skinny and she doesn’t have an eating disorder but does have a friend who has dealt with one for several years. Grimes claims she has been thin all her life and looks perfectly healthy in person. Well, if the camera adds 10 pounds, how can she look better in person? Wouldn’t she look even skinnier?

Things must be getting rather serious between Jennifer Aniston and Jon Mayer. Jennifer has introduced Mayer to her dad, actor John Aniston. You always know that this is a pretty big step when you start introducing your boyfriend to your parents and family. The couple had recently split a couple months back and just rekindled their romance last month. We shall have to wait and see if these two make it or not.

Former Dawson’s Creek star? Check. Wife of uber star Tom Cruise? Check. Fashion designer? Maybe. Mrs. Holmes-Cruise has been showing up to important events dressed to the nines in her favorite new label, Holmes & Yang. Yes, that Holmes. The hinting at a possible fashion line began with the photograph seen round the world of the leather bodice and dark blue satin skirt number at the Tropic Thunder premier. Next, it was a photographic splash of the lace and cream one-piece number worn at the opening of her All My Sons premier. Then on a casual stroll in NYC, it was the sighting of Ms. Suri Cruise in a polka dot empire waist dress, since identified as a Holmes & Yang design. Currently, the Holmes & Yang line is a burgeoning fashion line that Katie designs with her stylist Jeanne Yang. However fashion rumors have been circulating wildly that TomKat is shopping the brand around, looking for a high-end fashion designer to partner with. What with sleek evening pieces, and children’s dresses, can diaper bags and handbags be far behind?
