Rachel Roy

Celebrity trends may come and go, but we are thrilled to see the denim shirt holding steady among Hollywood's hottest. Every celeb has her own way of wearing the trend, and we particularly love how these 17 stars worked the basic fashion staple. Channel your inner fashionista by styling denim on denim like Kate Bosworth, balance a pair of darker bottoms with a denim top like Taylor Swift, or layer a chambray blouse over a floral maxi skirt like Jenna Dewan. As you can see from these looks, a denim shirt is super versatile; it works well with everything. So step inside to see more celebs working the trend, then shop our favorite picks.

Rachel Roy looked to something rather unconventional when working with the makeup and nail artists at her Fall 2012 presentation — and that something odd was dirt. Yes, dirt. But there was nothing icky about these beauty looks. See why you'll fall in love with the designer's soil-inspired style now.

>> Colorblocking and fashion's recent obsession with pink were in full effect at Rachel Roy's Fall 2012 show. The designer paired complementary hues — red and pink, cobalt with green — for a fresh and vibrant Fall 2012. Hemlines were ladylike, silhouettes were streamlined, and fabrics were super-rich. Knits, fur, tweed, angora, and leather lent a luxe undertone. Among the more surprising options were wide-leg, knee-length shorts in both knit and leather; just perfect for the girl who cares about trends but still wants to feel cozy.

True to form, Rachel Roy delivered a delightfully wearable collection of bold-hued knits and dresses, homing in on the perfect balance of easy separates and keen architectural detail for Fall '12. Roy excels in crafting pieces women want to wear — it's that mix of the understated, like slouchy knits in brilliant colors, and the sharpness of a well-executed cut — and the backs of Roy's evening gowns are done with perfect precision. This season, she's particularly adept at translating megawatt hues onto wearable pieces — even furs and sweaters get the pop-of-color treatment to pair against the line's sleek trousers or simple shifts. If it's not rich, saturated color, then Roy steals our interest with her texture story in leather, tweedy knits, and open cable knit. Altogether the looks read in perfect balance — she delivers a hint of downtown edge (minus the intimidation) and marries it effortlessly with the uptown sophisticate.
