Last night LA was abuzz with The Hunger Games premiere at Nokia Theatre in downtown. And starlet Jennifer Lawrence did not disappoint in her gold lamé cutout Prabal Gurung gown. Lamé isn't the easiest fabric to pull off, but the actress looked simply out of this world. While Jennifer's dress is strictly red-carpet material, we're here to prove that lamé, if done in doses, can also be worn for your everyday life. From a lamé cutout minidress for your next soiree to a sheer lamé button-down for weekend fun to a lamé pencil skirt for the office, check out three ways to rock the sassy fabric off the red carpet.

Inspired Style: Low-Key Lamé Like Carolyn Murphy

Lamé is one of those fabrics that can go either way — totally chic or totally cheesy.

Lamé is one of those fabrics that can go either way — totally chic or totally cheesy. When I saw Carolyn Murphy looking entirely low-key chic in her lamé harem pants in Muse, I knew I had to replicate that exact look come Spring. It's all about the mix — simple up top, snazzy on bottom. Even if you don't dare to get near lamé, invest in a metallic silver — or gold — skirt ($139, originally $198) or trousers, then finish the look off with a basic, white pocket tank ($31) and killer booties. It's total traffic-stopping appeal.

Charlize Theron in Lamé Lanvin: Love It or Hate It?

To say Charlize Theron brought major shine to the Parisian premiere of her latest movie — The Burning Plain — would be an understatement.

To say Charlize Theron brought major shine to the Parisian premiere of her latest movie — The Burning Plain — would be an understatement. If her Lanvin pre-Fall gold lamé dress is this shiny in photographs, I wonder how blinding it is in person! I have to say, it's a hard one to pull off, but nothing stands in Charlize's way. The knot detail adds dimension while her Christian Dior pumps lift her up. The Roger Vivier clutch also matches seamlessly. On the runway, the dress was paired with a chunky necklace, but Charlize let it shine for itself. Are you feeling this or is it too loud?

Fashionable folks gathered at Stella McCartney's London boutique last night to celebrate the annual Christmas light turning on ceremony. The designer's close pal Kate Moss turned up looking festive as ever in a gold lamé top, her signature black blazer, and over-the-knee boots. As always, the model added her personal touch — she threw on a low-slung black belt to downplay the shininess of the top. As you plan your holiday ensembles, consider this comfortable-cum-dazzling look.

I'm a huge fan of lamé.

I'm a huge fan of lamé. The metallic fabric instantly adds zest to any look. That's why I died when I saw this Silver Metallic Plunging Top, size medium. It has party-girl written all over it. Still, it maintains a level of sophistication because of the loose fit and knot detail.

The Buy It Now price is $29.99. Good luck and may the chicest woman win!

Pencey Lamé Wrap Jacket: Love It or Hate It?

If you do it right, lamé can look like a shimmering sheen of goodness. Done wrong, you'll most likely end up looking, well, lame. I need your opinion on this Pencey Lamé Wrap Jacket ($253). I like the relaxed shape and metallic shine, but is it borderline tacky?

Trend Alert: Far from Lame Lamé

Let's face it: Lamé got a bad rap.
by

Let's face it: Lamé got a bad rap. The world experienced too much of a good thing in the excessive '80s. I think we've finally recovered from the overdose. Here we are, far from lame lamé. Mad Men's January Jones shows us how to have fun in lamé in her one shoulder belted frock. She slices the sheen up with a black banded belt but dares to wear metallic sandals to keep the fluidity. Does she pull it off? Is lamé still lame? You tell me.
