Stars have never shone so brightly as the greatest celebrity fashionistas are now wearing glitter dresses. Charlize Theron, Eva Longoria, Rihanna, Kate Bosworth, Drew Barrymore, Jessica Simpson and Natalie Portman get into the holiday spirit with sexy high-shine frocks.

Shimmering clothes and accessories are another fall 2009 / winter 2010 must-have. All the types of paillettes are permitted: sequins, spangles, everything. It can be a dress, a bag or a jewellery – the hottest accent trims are glistening and sparkling their way down the recent fashion runways and Hollywood red carpets.

Learn from the stars how to sport a sexy glittery look: for the day choose a subtle shimmer, at night dare to dazzle with an outstanding shiny dress. Be careful of what you wear it with, keep your accessories basic. You can alternatively go for a plain LBD and pair it with some sparkling accessories.
