Fashion Trends-Would You Wear It?by Michele Cheplic | More from this Blogger 25 Oct 2006 07:57 AM It's that time of the week again... time for another edition of "Fashion Trends-Would You Wear It?" A blog dedicated to the latest trends modeled by Hollywood's elite. Recently, I have been adding at least one trend that I would actually shell out money for, though as regular readers of this blog know I am a bit conservative, so super short skirts, belly baring shirts and fingerless fishnet gloves never score well with me (though they may with you). In keeping with tradition here are a few recent fashion trends as made popular by stars and their friends, included is the obligatory conservative trend that even I would add to my closet: BOW-TOPPED BUBBLE DRESS Believe it or not I actually considered wearing a bubble dress to my senior prom (back in the late 80's when they were new to the scene and very hip). Now the bubble dress in making a comeback, only they are strapless with oversized black bows at the bustline, and I wouldn't even consider letting my daughter wear one. Fashion experts say the dress allows buyers to get two trends in one. Actresses Lindsay Lohan, Emily Procter ("CSI: Miami") and Sarah Michelle Gellar seem to agree as each has recently been photographed wearing the bow-topped bubble dress to various public appearances. TRIPLE-TIERED DRESSES Jessica Alba, Kylie Minogue and Lindsay Lohan have all added these flapper-inspired party frocks to their wardrobes. Unless you really have no qualms about looking like a flapper I would not recommend purchasing one of these dresses. However, if you have been inspired by the ABC hit "Dancing With the Stars" and are looking for a dress that will add flare to your fling then buy, buy, buy. WHITE-COLLARED BLACK DRESSES The white collars add a touch of innocence to the classic black dress and are perfect for... 4-year-olds, but that's just my opinion. Singer Kylie Minogue, and actresses Emmy Rossum and Elisha Cuthbert have all been photographed in various adaptations of the dress, trying to push the trend-for the most part I don't feel they were successful in doing so. WIDE-LEG PANTS This trend screams: "It's not all about skinny jeans." HOORAY! Jennifer Lopez, Katie Holmes, and Victoria Beckham have recently been photographed living large in extra-long, extra-wide trousers. Personally, one of my favorite pairs of pants is an extra-long, extra-wide khaki trouser from JCrew. I love them. They are comfortable, easy to run after a toddler in and the extra long hem hides the heels I wear with them so I look a lot taller than I really am.
