We were big fans of all the lace we saw on the shining starlets at the People’s Choice Awards this year. From Kristin Bell in fierce, fiery Valentino to Miley Cyrus in futuristic cream colored David Koma with a plunging mesh neckline, to Nina Dobrev’s glowing green Elie Saab mini, we were loving the intricate lace and mesh detail. Check out the do’s (and don’t's) of emulating this sophisticated red carpet trend below! How to Rock this Trend: Do…go bold. This is not your grandmother’s lace wedding dress. Look for deep, bright, eye-popping colors, like the magenta frock below.
