The subject of this trend is a 3/4 or long sleeved dress, with round neck and hemline above the knee. The vintage-inspired red lace dress has a babydoll shape, whereas the modern version is more fitted. The colour ranges from coral to scarlet to deep burgundy. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Celebrities that are on board with the red lace dress trend.</b></span></span></span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFtlhEW19MZgtJ5LNkYDWDNGidakcppvsVLo0KFlSZ3Gh8YK9L1cu9-2BACCAmj2k5JRN4UElLuFqPL4j8P02qvYScWwDBEwlVk7vHGaLOdoILFG6bl6D6wSZlsgdeCHsgA3mxgFfbQI8/s1600/red+lace+dress+celebs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFtlhEW19MZgtJ5LNkYDWDNGidakcppvsVLo0KFlSZ3Gh8YK9L1cu9-2BACCAmj2k5JRN4UElLuFqPL4j8P02qvYScWwDBEwlVk7vHGaLOdoILFG6bl6D6wSZlsgdeCHsgA3mxgFfbQI8/s640/red+lace+dress+celebs.jpg" width="640" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Top Row</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Rachel Bilson</span></i> shoots a campaign for Sunglasses Hut wearing a French Connection Fast Anna lace dress.

I love wearing items that most people wont wear or wear them in a way that is different to everyone else and of course I love to layer my clothes.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">What has been your best fashion buy? </span></b><br /><br />My best fashion buy is actually 2 garments, I can't really choose, so my faux leather and faux fur coats are by far my best buys!<br /><br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Most extravagant fashion purchase </span></b><br /><br />My <i>Guess</i> Handbag, I bought it a few years ago and at the time it cost a small fortune, but after 5 years it still looks brand new.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">What are your favourite accessories? </span></b><br /><br />I am an accessories queen, so I love all types especially rings, bangles, hats etc.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;"><b></b></span><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">What are your favourite fashion reads? </span></b><br /><br />I love magazines and books, in fact I have so many favourites that its really hard to choose, but if I had to choose I would say the UK ELLE, NYLON, Jalouse, and the 'Style Yourself' fashion book.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Best Fashion Trend </span></b><br /><br />70's flare jeans<br /><br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Worst Fashion Trend </span></b><br /><br />I dont really have a worst trend as I am open to a lot of new trends and I love trying new styles.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">What designer item/s are on your fashion wish list? </span></b><br /><br />I used to be a real designer girl but as I have gotten older and my style has evolved I tend to lean towards vintage and one of a kind items. 
One designer item I would still really love even though every blogger has one is the YSL ring, its gorgeous! <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br /><br /></span></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Who are your style icons?</span></b> </span><br /><br /><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL7Nt_dzOnf2rXhR2ckvkFWEaor6vSybmJsH3fw0TP_V3fkKbB1q5ZshYovwrN4JB3kwyoMKeNw9U8pmHvC1mA-MPEHj9KiByx10SsLQGAAXK9KXhTROFtven7Nt4aft13ZBcvqHcMR5A/s640/jasna+style+icons.jpg" width="640" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none;

Two of Prince Albert's nieces wore Chanel dresses, which were both incidentally worn before by Hollywood celebrities. I find this quite strange, as these princesses-in-waiting have access to the world's best couture collections and the most exclusive designs. Why would they chose to wear outfits that were previously worn, <i>and</i> to Monaco's most anticipated event in the last 50 years?<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br /><br /></span></span></span></span></b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfmqwKiOEd0PJuC-JEL3KJLxzDOz2EMyj7Cdxu8fiOK10ftidSmpoLp6AUT6o7zgxZ5bSTzyo3jbrNZ24rJjvWbxMunhOaGh5MpMqG6ulfYaFAhFNyYaEhq1nCqpbmeX1yr9_xOsuK17w/s1600/chanel+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfmqwKiOEd0PJuC-JEL3KJLxzDOz2EMyj7Cdxu8fiOK10ftidSmpoLp6AUT6o7zgxZ5bSTzyo3jbrNZ24rJjvWbxMunhOaGh5MpMqG6ulfYaFAhFNyYaEhq1nCqpbmeX1yr9_xOsuK17w/s640/chanel+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Charlotte Casiraghi,</span> daughter of Princess Caroline, wore a Chanel Spring Couture 2011 dress to her uncle, Prince Albert's wedding this Saturday.

The small French principality hosted two wedding ceremonies for the royal couple, costing an estimated $65 million. There was a live televised civil ceremony on Friday and a religious one held today at the Princes Palace.

The intricate beadwork formed a floral design along the front of the dress, with a sweeping train that followed. It was made of 88 yards of creamy white silk. I liked Charlene's hair, which was pulled back in a low bun and embellished with a diamond head piece and long veil.
