We’re not afraid to admit that we have far too many pairs of jeans.
Yes, some may look like another pair, but the fit is different and it would of course be rude not to own as many styles as possible. Some show off our booties while others elongate our legs.
Some can be worn with heels for a night out while others are great teamed up with trainers for a casual day at the park.
However, sometimes we struggle to find that perfect look and that’s where celebrities come in handy. We heart Rihanna’s take on the boyfriend jeans, while Angelina Jolie shows how to wear the bootcut look and give it a smart edge.
Then there’s Jessica Alba and Alexa Chung who rock the coloured jeans, teaming them with a plain top to really accentuate that hue.
See the gallery below for all the celebrity denim inspiration.

Kate Middleton showed once again why she made our top five best dressed royals list last week.
The Duchess of Cambridge looked stunning as she stepped out for the War Horse premiere in a black lace Alice Temperley fishtail dress complete with a plunging neckline.
She kept her trademark waves dry with a large clear circular umbrella and finished off her look with a small black clutch bag.
According to sources, Kate had the kleenex out from the beginning of the weepy film directed by Steven Spielberg. We hope she didn’t smudge her make up.
See the gallery below for images of Kate’s fab frock.

Female members of the Royal family have moved on a great deal when it comes to fashion. Gone are the long dresses, smart looks and covered up legs of old and in have stepped strong independent women with style.
Hot on everyones fashion lips is of course “new princess” Kate Middleton who has wowed the style world with her mix of highstreet and designer looks, while Zara Phillips’ sporty and chic fashion also gets her a mention.
And lets not forget both the late Princess Diana and Princess Grace of Monaco.
While Princess Diana paved the way for royals to wear a more casual attire, Princess Grace – or Grace Kelly as she was previously known – channelled her Hollywood glamour in the royal spotlight.
Searching that little bit far afield we found Queen Rania of Jordan whose mix of daytime and evening looks made her a close second in the list behind the Duchess of Cambridge.
See the gallery below for the best dressed.

Sarah Burton is “glad” she agreed to take over as Alexander McQueen’s creative director.
The designer – who was given the coveted role following the tragic suicide of the label’s founder Alexander McQueen in February 2010 – says she was initially unsure about doing the job, but looking back, she is pleased she did.
She said: “He was such a genius; inspiring and funny and an incredible man. I could never pretend to be him but when I look back now, I’m glad that I took the job – because it kept the studio alive in his spirit, and it kept the team together. Because what did he work so hard for all those years if it was all just going to disappear?”
Sarah – who created Duchess Catherine’s wedding dress when she married Prince William in April – recently said she regards the Alexander McQueen team to be “like a family” feels “privileged” to be part of the brand.
She said: “Every day, I love what I do and I think it’s a gift and privilege to love your job. The McQueen team is like family.
“We are so passionate about what we do and it’s so important that we have established a couture-standard atelier in Britain.”

Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen is up for the "Designer of the Year" award
Sarah Burton regards the Alexander McQueen team to be “like a family”.
The designer – who was named as the label’s creative director last year following the tragic suicide death of its founder Alexander McQueen – feels “privileged” to be part of the brand, and carry on the creator’s passion in her day-to-day work.
She said: “Every day, I love what I do and I think it’s a gift and privilege to love your job. The McQueen team is like family.
“We are so passionate about what we do and it’s so important that we have established a couture-standard atelier in Britain.”
Sarah – who created Duchess Catherine’s wedding dress when she married Prince William in April – feels “very lucky” to have worked with Alexander for 13 years, and she was delighted more than half a million people attended the ‘Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty’ exhibition in New York earlier this year to celebrate his work.
She added to The Observer newspaper: “He was a visionary, an incredible man and I feel very lucky to be able to carry on his name – people have been incredibly supportive.
“The huge audience at the Metropolitan exhibition really did show how many people his work had touched, and from all walks of life.”
Last month, the 37-year-old designer – who also created the figure-hugging white bridesmaid dress Catherine’s sister Pippa Middleton wore for her sibling’s nuptials – capped off her 2011 in style when she was named top designer at Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year awards.
She explained: “It’s been an amazing year.”

Tabitha Somerset Webb wants Duchess Catherine to wear one of her Project D designs.
The 36-year-old fashion designer – who co-created the clothing line alongside Dannii Minogue – is thrilled that Pippa Middleton has worn their pieces on two occasions this year, and is hopeful her older sister will soon follow suit.
She said: “Pippa has been amazing. It’s so flattering that she has chosen to wear our dresses. She looks gorgeous in them. She’s very much a Project D girl – elegant, classy and sexy.
“Now it would be great if her sister Kate wore one of our designs, too.”
However, Pippa – who wore Project D gowns to a friend’s wedding in September and to a recent charity event – is not the only royal fan of the line, as Tabitha explained Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have also worn her creations to public functions.
Tabitha added in an interview with HELLO! magazine: “Princess Beatrice wore our red Crystal dress to Prince Philip’s 90th birthday party and Eugenie ordered our floral Lily gown for another private event.”

You’ve got the frock, know what make-up look you’re going for, but what about that all important hairstyle for the Christmas party?
If you’re not too keen on an updo why not take inspiration from the latest celebrity red carpet looks and go for loose Christmas curls.
Inspired by style icon Bridget Bardot, this look has recently been channelled by the likes of Victoria Beckham, Kelly Brook and of course Kate Middleton. And it’s also very simple to achieve.
Split hair into sections, grab the curling tongs or heated rollers and set with hairspray. For extra volume gently backcomb roots.

Madonna is a big fan of Duchess Catherine’s style.
The ‘Material Girl’ singer praised Britain’s Duchess of Cambridge for the way she manages to always look elegant, but never stiff or overly formal with her fashion choices.
She told People.com: “She is a lovely girl with a great sense of style. Her wedding dress by Alexander McQueen was very beautiful.
“I like her choices. She’s elegant and still knows how to have some fun. I’m a fan of her style.”
Catherine and Madonna’s fashion sense is so close, they have even been spotted in the same dress – with the former wearing a salmon-pink satin dress by Stella McCartney to a Sunday dinner in Berkshire, southern England, which Madonna had previously donned three years ago at the Cannes film festival.
Speaking this weekend at the premiere of her new film ‘W.E.’ – Madonna’s directorial debut, about the scandal of King Edward VIII, who abdicated from the English throne to marry US divorcee Wallis Simpson – the ‘True Blue’ singer also said she appreciates how the English royal family have relaxed in their attitude since the time when her film was set.
She added: “The freedom that Catherine has and the freedom the royal family has now is nice and is refreshing.
“It’s too bad that Edward VIII didn’t have that same kind of freedom back in 1937 to make his own decisions and to be the prince of the people, which Prince William is allowed to be. I like how modern they are now.”

Britain’s Duchess Catherine is taking beauty tips from her stepmother-in-law.
The newest member of the royal family – who married Prince William in April – has been receiving treatments from Deborah Mitchell after Duchess Camilla, the wife of Prince Charles, recommended the beautician’s bee sting facial.
A source told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: “Deborah has been treating Camilla for six years now. Like any customer who finds something good, Camilla has told her friends and in-laws, including Kate. Now she visits the Royal Family wherever they are in residence. They are lovely to her.”
As well as her treatments, Deborah is known for her bee venom mask – which contains manuka honey, shea butter, rose and lavender essential oils, a “secret” ingredient and around one per cent bee venom – which tricks the skin’s surface into thinking it has been stung, increasing blood flow, collagen and elasticity.
Famous fans of the product are said to include Victoria Beckham, Michelle Preiffer and Kylie Minogue.
Deborah said: “They were discovering the more they did Botox, the more their faces did not match their body language and viewers found them difficult to trust.
“This pushes out those wrinkles and gives a smooth, supple look and feel to the skin – as opposed to the frozen-face look associated with Botox.”
Deborah, 46, refused to discuss her relationship with Camilla and Catherine.
She said: “I’m afraid I cannot talk about that.”

After being presented with the prize by British actress Alice Eve, she said: “It was amazing to go into Buckingham Palace and meet Queen Elizabeth and now the flattery of being on the other side of the planet being honoured for what we do especially when you work so bloody hard . it’s a big compliment.”
The stars turned out in force to celebrate the artists who help them to look good including hair stylists, makeup artists, colourists, wardrobe stylists and photographers.
Presenting snapper Randall Slavin with his Photographer of the Year award, Eva Longoria said: “If it was up to me I’d have the whole world see me how Randall Slavin does. He has the ability to make a girl look persuasive and fierce and fragile and delicate and a million other things that you never thought could be possible.”
Jaime King presented ‘KickAss’ star Chloe Moretz with the One to Watch award, Selma Blair passed out the Hollywood Boutique of the Year title to Decades while Mandy Moore also took the stage as she announced Molly Stern as Make-Up Artist of the Year.

Meanwhile Khloe Kardashian honoured her younger half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner with the Stylish Sisters trophy.
She said: “Kendall and Kylie are incredibly bright, down-to-earth and amazingly stylish. I really wish I was that stylish at their age. I still take inspiration from them now.”
