Lindsay Lohan's style ranges from off-duty grunge to ultra chic - we love a star with two totally different modes! LiLo works a flared jumpsuit with a stunning, Art Deco-style gold and black wrap that's completely laden with sequins. Hunt down a vintage sequin scarf and replicate the look on a dancefloor near you...

PA PhotosForget the rule about wearing red on the red carpet. At the Emmys Debra Messing totally rocked this Swarovski crystal-laden asymmetric gown that confirms her status as one of Hollywood's leading ladies. Note how her confident stance and classic evening make-up add a super-preened finish to this high-octane dress. Thumbs up!
From X Factor winner to red carpet diva, Alexandra Burke's wardrobe has grown with her fame. Sporting an Emilio Pucci, thigh-grazing sequined dress, the singer was clearly out to make a statement at this year's Pride of Britian awards. Proof that rocking two trends simultaneously - sequins and the asymmetric style - doesn't always look over-done.
PA PhotosThe ultimate retro vixen, Dita Von Teese is partial to lashings of sequins and sparkle. In this demure little black dress the star's bust is emphasised by a smattering of embellishments. Take inspiration from this star: play to your strengths and stand out.
PA PhotosDoes Eva Mendes ever commit a fashion faux pas? Judging by this effortlessly sexy outfit that's packed with paillettes, we're saying no! Note how the A-list actress has toned down her statement shimmer with a simple black clutch and matching open-toe heels.
PA PhotosThe face of Burberry's winter campaign, Emma Watson manages to pull off a cheekily short Burberry Prorsum embellished gold dress and maintain an air of elegance. Her chunky black platforms and cinching black waist belt ground the aesthetic of this outfit, and delivers a masterclass in getting the sequin look right.
PA PhotosFashion's favourite rebel, Juliette Lewis is not afraid to stamp her mark on this season's sequin trend with quirky accessories. Granted that her tights are curiously loopy, we love her anything-goes approach to this sparkly playsuit - an inspiration in self expression!
PA PhotosSequins needn't be worn head-to-toe, why not opt for a metallic micro mini like Fame's Jessica Lowndes? A fitted T-shirt, clutch and matching nail enamel suitably pare-down her red carpet look and give off an I've-not-tried-but-still-look-fabulous air. Notepads out ladies, this outfit is a winner...
PA PhotosKylie Minogue is everyone's favourite showgirl and has many an A-list friend - but we're thinking the singer must have fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier on speed-dial as her tour wardrobe was almost entirely made up of his creations. The look on the JPG catwalk was shimmer, and if anyone is going to pull off a series dazzling show-stoppers, it's our Kylie!
PA PhotosNew girlfriend of Russell Brand and GLAMOUR.com favourite, Katy Perry has really upped her style of late; snapped here at Paris Fashion Week sporting a dazzling Sonia Rykiel dress, the star's look is set to stun. Katy wisely leaves her accessories to an absolute minimum and lets her dress do the talking. Damn this girl looks good!
PA PhotosModel-turned-actress Lily Cole adds edge to her metallic party dress with an oversized boyfriend blazer, and complete with a happy-go-lucky smile - we cannot find fault with this jaunty outfit. Take inspiration: why not wear a slouchy tailored jacket with your cocktail dress for boardroom to bar glamour?
WennNatalie Imbruglia clearly loves her labels: we spy the It-boots of autumn/winter 2009 from Balmain, and a Chanel shoulder bag hanging from a - again - Balmain hard-shouldered tuxedo jacket. Her sequin LBD blends well with her high-octane accessories proving that more-is-more is certainly Natalie's watchword.
PA PhotosKelly Brook opted for a Louis Vuitton dress that was encrusted with diamanté and sequins at the Pride Of Britain awards, proving that us Brit girls can truly sparkle on the red carpet, even in a wardrobe-staple LBD. Channel her look with a statement high street party dress.
PA PhotosAttending the Macy's Passport Gala in LA, AnnaLynne McCord displayed her savvy side and sported an asymmetric Topshop dress that was made complete with a touch of lavish embellishment on the shoulder - proving that the sequin trend needn't be brash.
PA PhotosThis wouldn't be a credible sequin gallery if we didn't squeeze in the star of sparkle, Paris Hilton, who regularly dons lashings and lashings of diamanté and sequins almost on a daily basis. Sporting YSL cage heels, a tight leather mini and a matching top and clutch combo - the heiress is far from apologising for her elaborate wardrobe!
PA PhotosRachel Stevens took a demure turn on the Pride of Britain awards red carpet in a luxuriously embellished LBD. Play matchy-matchy with your accessories and eye make-up like Rachel to amplify your look from head to toe.
PA PhotosWho'd have thought that a fully-loaded sequin mini skirt would look so good next to a nude silk top? But Selena Gomez has put the fashion critics to rest with her applause-worthy ensemble. Copy the star and wear an evening camisole with revved-up mini skirts for a classy yet girly look.
WennSinger VV Brown adds her unique vintage twist to a Topshop embellished jacket - so popular model Rosie Huntington-Whitelely has also sported the same piece. The sequins add a cocktail-hour edge to her look and lifts her all-black outfit into the spotlight.
Rex FeaturesJennifer Lopez is not one to let a sparkling trend slip by! The singer adds Latino sass to an embellished silver dress, and teams it with neutral strappy heels and a black box clutch. The verdict? Her neutral accessories ensure that this look is not overloaded - if you are going to pull off such a statement-making dress, make sure you have ample confidence like JLO.
