Victoria Beckham is always ahead of the trends

Ever since Victoria Beckham was spotted in some spiked heels by Christian Louboutin for Rodarte, the fashion world has gone crazy for some studded action.

Yes, It's time to let out your inner dominatrix, so to speak, and embrace the latest accessory trend sweeping the fashion world- studs.

Studs are set to big news for the winter, especially with the renewed popularity of gothic fabrics, such as leather, PVC and lace making the fashion pages.

Before you worry about the thought of pulling off yet another crazy clothing trend (we've still not got over our attempt at trying PVC leggings) this is all about using studs as an accessory.

Celebs are loving this trend right now, as it gives them an excuse to be a little bit naughty with their fashion.

Rachel Bilson was papped at an event recently, in some studded Christian Louboutin boots. We've found some similar boots from Jimmy Choo (below) although they will set you back around £595.

Our fashion spies tell us that River Island have come up with their very own studded boot, which will hit the shops before Christmas and will be a more purse-friendly £120. Watch this space...

If you don't want to splash out on some new items, then get creative! Pick up some studs from a craft shop, and get gluing onto an old bag or an old pair of jeans, to give them a new lease of life.

However, if that sounds like a DIY disaster waiting to happen, we have some studded beauties from the high-street for you to take your pick from...

Gloves, £14.99, River Island

Embrace your inner rock chick and pick up these funky gloves. Fingerless gloves made an appearance on the X Factor a few weeks ago, and then promptly made an exit, along with their owners, Bad Lashes.

Studded boots, £595, Jimmy Choo

We know, but a girl can dream!

Shorts, £30, Topshop

This is quite a subtle way to work this trend, but you can still feel like you're embracing the look. Team with a simple vest top, opaque tights and killer heels.

Bag, £39, Fiorelli

We're in love with this bag from Fiorelli and it's a snip at £39.
