People's Choice Awards Trend: Sheer Insets

At tonight's awards, one common denominator united our Hollywood glamazons. Cocktail frocks and gowns with pretty sheer insets gave skin-baring a subtler twist and furthered the interest on a bevvy of red-carpet confections. On Kristen Bell's red leather Valentino sheer panels lend a cool contrast; a sheer inset keeps Miley Cyrus's David Koma LWD from revealing too much; and on Vanessa Hudgens's intricate Jenny Packham, a see-through panel plays up the drama on a sexy neckline. Each one offers a unique play on the trend — one we suspect will be cropping up on the carpet all awards season. Click on to see how celebs suited up with sexy sheer details.
