Where It’s At: Lace

Beyond the bedroom and onto the catwalk, into the stores and out on the streets comes a new fashion trend. Lace is where it’s at.

Lace dressing is so hot right now. A lot, or a little, it’s entirely up to you. From Emilio Pucci’s one-shoulder lace dress in beautiful burgundy, $2,495, above, to Alexander McQueen’s take on the lace blouse, $2,692, below, lace looks right worn solo, or with other textures like these leather moto pants, $3,195, also by Alexander McQueen.

Take a look at the stunning model Jessica Stam, below, in a fabulous scarlet lace wrap dress by Valentino.

I absolutely love Cameron Diaz, below, in this white laser-cut lace dress she wore to the Valentino Haute Couture show in Paris. Paired with a nude heel (or flat sandals as seen on the runway) and fresh makeup, it is decidedly more demure than the sultry looks above.

Eyelet lace, once reserved for children, takes on a sexy freshness in black as seen in this day dress by Catherine Malandrino, $395.

Be on the lookout for lace. It’s not just for weddings any more.
