Blue Is The New Hue
The hottest colour for 2009 is undoubtedly blue with stars such as Anne Hathaway, who wore it to the Golden Globes, embracing the bold hue. The colour has been widely used at all the fashion shows in recent months and was used prominently by Gucci in their fall 2009 collection. All the major celebrity events including the Oscars and Grammys had an abundance of attendees dressed in bold blue outfits, guaranteed to get them noticed.

Blue is such a versatile colour and has many different shades, so, it is almost guaranteed that you will find at least one shade which suits you. Bold royal blues and aquas will be particularly popular. Royal blue looks particularly good in the evening and at formal events. Evening dresses like Anne Hathaway’s Oscar dress are perfect in royal blue and give a demure and elegant evening look, whereas aqua shades look better in the daytime. T-shirts, skirts and jeans look great in aqua hues and give a fresh youthful appearance, ideal for the summer months.
Blue accessories such as necklaces and hair bands are a great way of updating old outfits and bringing them up to trend. They look great when classed with other bold colours such as yellow, pink and red.
Child star Dakota Fanning is all grown up

She was the child star of unexpected indie film hit ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ but now Dakota Fanning has grown up and is currently filming the sequel to popular teen vampire movie ‘Twilight’. The sequel, ‘New Moon’, stars a truly stunning cast of young actors and actresses who are all eager to impress both on and off screen.
It may not seem that long ago that Dakota was wearing pigtails and frilly dresses but the starlet has truly grown up to be the epitome of young womanhood and she is both elegant and glamorous, managing to keep her look both fun and fresh. Her look is refreshingly not old beyond her years, but is exactly as a teenager should look.
To get a funky Dakota inspired look, think about playsuits. They are at once sexy, feminine and young. She was recently photographed in a stunning, short purple silk playsuit and strappy heels, which gave her the mix of sexiness and playfulness which can only be pulled off by a young woman. Keep accessories plain and to a minimum to avoid being over fussy and don’t overdo the makeup. Less is definitely more in this case.
