Hot New Beauty Trends – Celebrity Beauty Trends

With the many changes people are experiencing in the world, there has been a change in the beauty arena since people are always trying to look different and impressive. There has therefore been a change in beauty styles. These include changes in the hair styles, dressing styles, perfumes, shoes, make up and ornaments. Celebrities are taken to be role models of their relevant fields and since most people who admire a certain celebrity would like to emulate their beauty styles, celebrities are very conscious of their beauty styles and more often than not, they change their styles constantly to keep up with fashion.
Celebrities are known to have bought expensive clothing while they are staging a public appearance. This gives them an image that shows that they are rich. Most clothes that celebrities wear are designer clothing, which are expensive as exhibited in various magazines and reviews that offer information about clothing prices. In the past, celebrities did not have personal designers and they used to buy the clothes that were popular then. Recently, there has been a development in the clothes industry. Due to the many varying designs that have come up, celebrities are forced to get personal designers who advise them on the kind of clothing to wear, for particular occasions.
Some celebrities have come up with their own clotheslines, which are clothes designed with a logo that belongs to the celebrity. Some of these celebrities, especially men, have suits and shirts featuring the bulk of their clothes. Female celebrities are known to produce shoe designs and perfumes under their names since these are things that are related with the women. Some of the clothes designed by celebrities include inner garments like boxer shorts, under wears, bikinis and other lingerie for the women. The celebrities who have managed to produce their own clotheslines are known to have gained great sums of money from the sale of the garments. This is because most of their fans buy these clothes and this makes the celebrities more famous while at the same time the garments sell their image to their fans. Since most of these celebrities are music artists, they are known to have sold many records to people who have clothes with their names and logos since the fans feel a sense of belonging to the celebrity.
There has been news of how some celebrities have bought expensive clothing and shoes because they are role models and they always want to impress their fans. Another reason why they buy the expensive clothing is to look rich and wealthy to their fans. Most fans will look at them differently if they have an impression of wealth and success. The quality of the designs that the celebrity wears is also high and this is the biggest reason why these clothes are expensive. Clothing like linen suits are known to be expensive and they have a striking effect when they are worn hence the celebrities wear them to look striking. They need to make impressions that will last in order to maintain their fan base.
Major designers who are known to produce jewelry, clothing and shoes that have their logo set most new trends. This makes the attires and accessories more expensive. These designers are famous names like Chanel, Gucci, Christian Dior and others like Raybun. These designers have been in the design industry for long and they know and produce the best designs according to various celebrities. The celebrities hence prefer getting their designer outfits from these companies. They also advise the celebrities on what to wear to various functions. Celebrities are hence the standard setters of the beauty market.
Oscar Red Carpet Fashion Trends
From the stunning stars walking the red carpet to the hilarious hosts, the incredible array of movies honored to the thoughtful acceptance speeches, the Academy Awards this year was a night to remember. With Kathryn Bigelow’s historic night as the first female to win the award for Best Director and the array of talented women honored in the Best Actress category, the ladies truly made a statement. Their amazing performances, directorial prowess, and all over impact were felt the entire night. However, as they arrived on the red carpet all eyes were tuned to what designers and trends would be worn. From Sandra Bullock’s gorgeous metallic dress to Gabourey Sidebe’s deep blue gown, one could see that the stars went all out for the evening and several hot trends became apparent.
Metallic

The metallic trend was huge this year, seen on stars such as Cameron Diaz, Sandra Bullock, and Kate Winslet. Metallic dresses look great on the red carpet, as they ensure one will stand out and not get lost in the crowd. Both the gold and silver metallic look is stunning, with some designers even starting to blend gold and silver tones together. When wearing a statement metallic dress, it is important to keep the rest of your look simple. By wearing little to no jewelry with a simple hairdo, an elegant look is created. These actors got it just right!
One Shoulder

The one shoulder dress was popular on the red carpet, and for good reason. It creates a beautiful neckline, drawing the attention upwards, and provides plenty of bust support. Sigourney Weaver looked stunning in her red asymmetrical gown while Kate Beckinsale rocked the one shoulder look (in a metallic!) at an after party. For a modern yet comfortable look, the one shoulder dress is a great way to go.
Neutral/Nude

Shades of nude were seen throughout the evening as stars arrived, with each dress looking equally as stunning as the one before it. Anna Kendrick looked beautiful in her pale pink draped gown and Demi Moore was flawless in a nude strapless ruffled dress. Shades of nude, whether a cocoa color or a light pink, are fashionable and gorgeous! By choosing a dress with some draping or ruffles, a beautiful silhouette is created. To really showcase a nude dress, pair it with neutral colored accessories, such as black or brown, so that the dress becomes the focal point.
Slits

Whether cut high or low, obvious or hidden, slit dresses were a popular trend at the Oscars. To showcase your legs in a sexy yet fashionable way, a slit dress is the way to go. From Meryl Streep’s demure slit to Zoe Saldana’s ruffled slit, a beautiful look is created. Slits are feminine and flirty and truly make a statement. If doing a high slit, make sure your dress does not have a low neckline. When showing more skin on the bottom you can be a bit more conservative on top, and vice versa.
Deep Blue

Gorgeous shades of jewel toned and deep blue were seen on the red carpet, taking the place of the usual go-to black dress. Kristin Stewart wore a beautiful midnight blue while Gabourey Sidebe had a lighter but equally rich blue gown, adorned with stunning jewels. These rich shades of blue look great on all skin tones and make a strong statement. Easily paired with gold or silver accessories, a deep blue is a great change if you want to switch up the black.
All of these trends are fun and pretty, and a great way to spice up your wardrobe. Even though the majority of us will not be walking the red carpet anytime soon, we can still wear these looks in our daily life. Whether it is a casual maternity maxi dress with a slit or a one shoulder strap cocktail dress (in a rich blue) there are many fun ways to apply these red carpet trends to your daily life.
Lady Gaga’s Futuristic Inspired Look – Fashion Forward or Fashion Victim
I must admit that I’m not a big fan of Lady Gaga’s, even though I find myself singing along to her songs from time to time (they are catchy after all). But one thing I do admire her for is her fashion forward attitude. She’s not afraid to step out of the box and wear something completely unconventional and out of this world. Recently, Lady Gaga wore a futuristic-inspired white ruffle dress at the Z100 Jingle Ball last December and I just had to bring it up!

When I saw this dress it reminded me of a white flower bed as well as something out of dreams and fantasies…but definitely not something I would see on the street. The entire look itself it very fairy-tale like and it just brought me back to my childhood days. I must admit that I really do like the dress, and it also looks gorgeous on her.
Of course I would never be fashion forward enough to pull something like this off, but for Lady Gaga, it’s a perfect fit! The ruffles on the dress is simply beautiful and she almost looks angelic with her blonde locks against the crisp white fabric. The only thing I might have done differently is the shoes, but all in all, I give this a thumbs up!
Style Tips From Rachel Bilson

Seen here, Rachel is rocking a super cute red miniskirt paired with a neutral jacket, a leather bag and some leather boots. The look is perfect because it’s not bland but it’s not over the top either. The red skirt works absolutely amazing with the neutral pelettes and you can pull this look off too!
Pick a cute colorful miniskirt (doesn’t necessarily have to be red like Rachel’s, any color will do!). Throw on a neutral fitted jacket over a white or black tee, and pair with leather boots and a leather bag.
