PLAID HOOPLA

There's another style trend heating up the red carpet as I like to call it PLAID HOOPLA! Rihanna, Beyonce, and Gwen Stefani are the fashionistas keeping this look hot.

To incorporate this look into your everyday style, try this red plaid cotton tee from Gap. For a holiday bash, try this Banana Republic plaid belted dress. If a coat is more of your style like Rihanna, Beyonce, and Gwen, try this Juicy Couture coat from Bergdorf Goodman.

CATWALK 2 RUNWAY: GWEN STEFANI

While toting around son Kingston prior to her gig at Wembley Stadium last month, Gwen Stefani kept warm in this red plaid Jean Paul Gaultier "technical tartan" trenchcoat.

Worn alone or paired with jeans, this $4,135.00 Jean Paul Gaultier trenchcoat is ideal for any fashionista.

Gwen Stefani, ever the busy mother and fashion designer, smiled behind her Dior shades while keeping warm in a creation from her label-a L.A.M.B "Escape" velvet trench coat while running out to do errands. For $525, the black-and-white pattern coat can be yours.
