Celebrities are channelling the feather trend in their bucket loads this season.
Taking inspiration from designers such as Chanel and Giambattista Valli, A listers such as Tulisa, Blake Lively and Sarah Jessica Parker are opting for frocks in this birdy fabric, which also gives a strong nod to the 20s flapper vintage trend.
And of course the highstreet is full of these feathered frocks.
Copy Tulisa’s look and go for a dress with a feathered skirt and PVC top – buy the replica from Warehouse – or give a nod to the bridal look with a white feathered skirt and satin top like Sarah Jessica Parker at the British Fashion Awards.
If you want to go all out then follow Olivia Palermo who showed how to wear feathers all over, but be careful, too many and you could end up looking more Big Bird than stylish sista.
See the gallery below for celebrity inspiration and keep reading to see our top five feather frock picks for the Christmas party season.

Blake Lively says “it’s embarrassing” how many pairs of Christian Louboutin shoes she owns.
The Gossip Girl star is not only an avid collector of the designer’s creations – buying up to 40 pairs at a time – but also a personal friend, and helped celebrated the 20th anniversary of his collection in New York on Tuesday.
She told People.com: “They are the most beautiful shoes out there. And incredibly innovative. It’s embarrassing [how many pairs I have].”
On the evening – also attended by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Calvin Klein and Tyrese – Blake chose to wear a pair of splatter-paint snakeskin stilettos.
Christian himself was full of compliments for Blake, saying: “Not only is she beautiful, she is very talented and she’s very smart.
“One of the things that is most important for women and men, at least for me, is intelligence. Through a lot of things, she has proved that she is really intelligent and she also has this natural beauty and this natural way of moving which makes her absolutely a great image.”
Christian also gave his tips for what to expect as the high fashion for this season, adding: “A beautiful low-cut pump. Low-cut in the front and almost the colour of your skin so it can completely disappear or in black so you can wear it with different colours.”
After the party at Barneys, VIP guests headed to a private celebration at Le Caprice in the Pierre Hotel where Alicia Keys – another fan – joined the group for dinner.

Blake Lively has made a second visit to see Ryan Reynolds in Boston.
The ‘Gossip Girl’ actress – who recently split from Leonardo DiCaprio after five months of dating – was reportedly spotted having a romantic dinner with the 35-year-old hunk in exclusive Boston eatery Mistral Bistro last Monday.
A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: “It’s getting more serious. Ryan really respects her.”
While Blake was said to be keen to spend “a few days” with Ryan, who is filming new movie ‘C.I.P.D’ in the city, she was only able to stay one night before heading back to New York.
The visit came just days after the ‘Change Up’ star – who split from wife Scarlett Johansson last December – headed to the Big Apple to visit Blake on the set of ‘Gossip Girl’ last weekend.
A source previously said: “They hugged and then got in a car together. They became good friends on the set [of 'Green Lantern']. Now they’re both single and trying it out. They’re seeing each other casually.”
During Blake’s first visit to Boston, the pair enjoyed a romantic meal at sushi palace O Ya in the Leather District and were reportedly spotted kissing at Boston’s South Train Station on October 3.
Despite also having been linked to Charlize Theron and Sandra Bullock since his split from Scarlett, Ryan insists he isn’t “potent enough” to handle so many ladies.
He recently said: “Right now I seem to be on a speed-dating mission – at least according to those stories that are going around at the moment. Even my mom is confused. No man is potent enough to be able to go through as many women as that in such a short amount of time like I allegedly have!”

For the past few years leopard print has clawed its way into winter collections and this season is no different. Thanks to the likes of Marc Jacobs, Prada and Burberry the print is prowling the highstreet making a mark on coats, skirts and dresses and of course shoes.
If you want to follow the trend but too afraid to go the full way then the latter is a perfect way to show off this look. Team up wedge boots, as seen on Ellie Goulding and Princess Beatrice with jeans for a casual nod to leopard print or opt for a black dress for a smarter look.
Those wishing to wear this trend at a posher event can copy Kylie Minogue and Georgia May Jagger and go for a strappy number, while court shoes adorned with this print are great for the office.
We’ve picked out our top five highstreet pairs.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Blake Lively have split up.
The ‘Inception’ star had been dating the ‘Gossip Girl’ actress since May and although they have decided to part ways, representatives for both told UsMagazine.com they will “remain friends”.
Despite refusing to confirm their relationship in the five months they were dating, Leonardo, 35, and Blake, 24, were spotted on a string of dates throughout the summer including trips on a yacht in Disneyland, California, and a water taxi in Venice, Italy.
Leonardo also treated Blake to a helicopter ride to Saint-Paul de Vence, France for a $500 lunch at La Colombe d’Or Restaurant, a stay at the $5,000-a-night suite at Hotel de Paris and a trip on a $52 million yacht.
Blake even flew to Sydney, Australia in August to celebrate her birthday with the actor, who is shooting his new movie ‘The Great Gatsby’ in the city.
The couple enjoyed a meal at exclusive restaurant Aria and were seated at one of the eatery’s best tables which boasts a panoramic view of Sydney Harbour.
A source said: “[Blake] looked gorgeous and they looked very much like a couple. They seemed to be having a really nice time and were definitely enjoying the view.”
However, Blake spent last weekend in Boston where she enjoyed a romantic meal with ‘Green Lantern’ co-star Ryan Reynolds at sushi palace O Ya in the Leather District, the Boston Herald reported.

For anyone who’s obsessively followed the fabulous lives of Serena, Blair and co in Gossip Girl should be excited to know, there’s a new outlet for your fandom! Because a clothing line inspired by the hit television show is going on sale this weekend in the States.
The new clothing range, which is being created by Romeo and Juliet Couture with a little help from Warner Bros, is apparently going to be all designs that the characters would definitely wear, including girlish chiffon dresses, playful novelty knitwear and embellished tops. With prices spanning from $80 to $200, it’s actually all very reasonable – now all we need to do is fly out to NYC, as the collection’s going on sale in swanky department stores such as Kitson and Saks Fifth Avenue.
We’ve always secretly dreamed of dressing like Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf, so this is going to be an exciting launch to see what Romeo and Juliet Couture come up with. If you want to check out the label’s current collection to get a feel for what the new Gossip Girls designs could be like, check out their new Fall 2011 Collection here.

Taylor Swift looked sweet and girlish as usual in a Marilyn Monroe-style white sundress
This weekend it was the teenybopper’s Oscar night as the Teen Choice Awards took place in California. All the usual teenage Disney stars and popstrels were there, along with a few more grown-up faces.
Taylor Swift, our favourite angel-faced country-pop singer, had a great weekend as she walked away with the Ultimate Choice award along with five others, including Favourite Female Artist and Favourite Country Artist. She looked sweet and girlish in a full-skirted white halternecked dress that was more than a little bit Marilyn Monroe.
Gossip Girl‘s Blake Lively looked absolutely incredible in an unusual orange leather tailored dress that showed off her perfect figure (we hate her, we hate her, we hate her). She also took away the award for TV’s best dramatic TV actress.
The Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie didn’t take away any awards, though she gets a style award from us for her cool and youthful star-printed minidress. Neither did the Kardashians, though they were all out in force with their fiercest heels and sexiest dresses. Kim K looked amazing in a white-and-black cocktail dress with a feathered skirt.
Disney actress Selena Gomez, who is Justin Bieber’s current squeeze, looked pretty and sophisticated in a sexy gold satin cocktail dress with a draped chiffon train. We also loved Rachel Bilson’s look, who opted for a sweet and romantic look in a white ruffled Chloe dress.
Check out our gallery to see the celebrities we’ve mentioned above, along with plenty others.

Blake Lively will never hire a stylist.
The ‘Gossip Girl’ star – who is often voted one of the world’s most fashionable women – says she loves putting outfits together herself and doesn’t want the advice of anyone else.
Speaking about the fashion industry, she said: “It’s a world that inspires and excites me. Some people don’t love clothes – they hire stylists and leave it to them. I’ve never hired one and I don’t plan to.”
Blake has become the latest ‘It’ girl of the fashion world, but she insists it doesn’t take away from her acting credentials.
She told Australia’s Daily Telegraph newspaper: “I have a pretty good understanding of what I’ve been able to put out there so far. I’m on a show 10 months of the year that’s in people’s homes once a week, and the show is defined by its fashion, so that’s what people know me most for already.”
The 23-year-old beauty has a lot of friends in the fashion world – notably Anna Wintour and Karl Lagerfeld – and says she’s amazed at how power US Vogue editor Anna is.
She said: “She’ll say, ‘Wear this,’ and next thing you know, it’s all over the runways.”

Blake Lively is to become a brand ambassador for Stella McCartney.
The ‘Gossip Girl’ star – who is reportedly dating film star Leonardo DiCaprio – met the fashion designer after striking up a conversation about their mutual love of vegetarianism, and will now represent the brand in her native US.
A source told The Mail on Sunday newspaper: “Like Leonardo, Blake is an animal lover and believes in cruelty-free fashion so when she met Stella at the Costume Institute gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art last month she found they shared many of the same ideals.
“Stella thinks Blake would be the perfect brand ambassador for her company in America.”
Blake, 23, has recently been photographed wearing Stella’s designs for a magazine shoot.
The actress is also an ambassador for Chanel, signing with the iconic fashion house last year, and shooting an advertising campaign for their range of Mademoiselle bags.
Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld said of the young star: “She’s a kind of American dream girl. I think she will become a great actress.”

Blake Lively gets fashion advice from Karl Lagerfeld and Christian Louboutin.
Although the ‘Gossip Girl’ star – who is the face of Chanel’s Mademoiselle handbag line – has always insisted she doesn’t use a stylist for red carpet events preferring to choose her own clothes, she admitted she does call on the fashion legends when she has a sartorial dilemma.
Speaking at the Met Costume Institute Gala where she wore a Chanel dress, Blake said: “Christian helped me pick out my shoes…He’s a good friend and somebody I trust incredibly. He’s the closest thing that I say I have to a stylist. There are few people that I ask – Karl, Christian.”
Blake also revealed she and Karl had their own unusual way of preparing for the Costume Institute Gala, which paid tribute to the late Alexander McQueen.
She said: “Before we came tonight, Karl and I met at a diner where we saw a bunch of 80 year olds. We just had tea and took pictures.”
Blake has previously admitted she was “intimidated” when she first met Karl because of his “genius”.
She said: “I was wildly intimated. He’s an incredibly intimidating person because he’s so accomplished and he’s such a genius, but the moment you meet him, he doesn’t try to intimidate you. He’s so kind and humble and alive and passionate. I love and respect him so much.”
