Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace
Celebrities are shunning bright colours this season, with stars such as Angelina Jolie instead opting for dresses in nude shades.
The magic of nude shades is that they work well with all skin colourings, emphasising a great tan or given paler ladies a lovely porcelain glow. The colour is versatile enough to be full length or shorter.
Nude shades also serves as a great base for bold make up and accessories, so just because you go neutral with the dress you can still add a splash of colour to your look.
Angelina Jolie wowed at this weekend Golden Globe Awards in a full length Atelier Versace gown in a nude shade. The sparkly fabric proved that beige doesn't have to be boring.
Rosario Dawson went for a nude shade dress for the premiere of new film Seven Pounds in Los Angeles.
We love the one shoulder detail of the Bottega Veneta dress but it is the colour that is really great. She has added colour to the look with a pair of turquoise chandelier evenings.
Model Miranda Kerr also knows how great a nude dress can look. She worked this number at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London. The see-through straps of the dress work well against its darker shade. The colour works well against Miranda's bright lips and flushed cheeks.
You can get your own piece of this trend, the high street is full of celebrity worthy nude dresses.
For something with a a bit of sparkle we love this Miss Selfridge dress, £35 with jewelled neckline.
However if you want something a bit more simple head to River Island for this bubble hem dress, £34.24, with cut out back.
