A Cut Above
It's the fashion detail of the season - the cut-out. See how the stars wear theirs.
Rex FeaturesKim Kardashian
A claret coloured body-con, with a hint of flesh, is the order of the day for Kim Kardashian. If it ain't broke...
Rex FeaturesMiranda Kerr
Miranda Kerr hits it out of the park in this digi-print Peter Pilotto dress with cool cut-out detailing.
WennKate Bosworth
A cool Carven outfit is given even more clout with the cute belly button cut-out.
Rex FeaturesEmma Roberts
Emma Roberts normally opts for more casual, vintage-inspired off-duty outfits, so when she mixes it up in a racy cut-out number with a floral skirt, we're bowled over.
PA PhotosKeira Knightley
Style tip: cutaway details don't have to look cheap. Keira Knightley manages to look subtly sexy in her Roksanda Ilincic dress because the conservative hemline balances out that racy top half.
Rex FeaturesCara Delevingne
Stunning in silver Burberry, Cara was an early adopter of the cut-out - way back in 2012.

Rex FeaturesAllison Williams
Displaying the sartorial detail of the summer, GIRLS star Allison Williams is her flawless self in a sparkly wool Altuzarra number.
Rex FeaturesTyra Banks
'Fierce' is the first word that springs to mind on sight of Tyra Banks' latest red carpet ensemble. Only a supermodel of her standing could make this cut-out piece, complete with spiky shoulder, work. And 'smize' for the cameras.
Rex FeaturesLily Allen
Lily's clearly feeling the maroon vibes - and we don't blame her, the shade (and the lattice cut-outs) work perfectly on her.
PA PhotosJessica Lowndes
Cut-outs and zip detailing don't work on everyone (or every outfit, for that matter), but on Jessica Lowndes, this revealing ensemble is eye-catching for all the right reasons.
Rex FeaturesMichelle Dockery
This beautiful Rosie Assoulin gown was a far cry from the outfits of Downton Abbey - but we love the style, complete with subtle cut-out at the waist.
Rex FeaturesClaire Danes
Claire Danes looks incredible in a striking Givenchy gown, complete with, you guessed it, cut-out side panels.
Rex FeaturesClaire Danes
She's clearly a girl who loves a theme. This cut-out Christian Dior dress is perfection.
Rex FeaturesClaire Danes
And one more for luck - this time working fierce clashing patterns and side cut-outs for maximum impact.
Rex FeaturesJennifer Lopez
This takes the term 'cut-out' to a whole new level. You can always rely on J-Lo to bring the bling.
Rex FeaturesIggy Azelea
Iggy Azelea stunned at the VMAs in August as she arrived in this form-fitting silver gown with peek-a-boo cut-out detail.
Rex FeaturesZendaya
Model Zendaya is pretty in pink in this figure-skimming, side cut-out halterneck dress.
Rex FeaturesEmmy Rossum
Emmy Rossum pulled out all the stops in a dramatic pleated J. Mendal gown featuring a sheer beaded insert and sharp side cut-out detailing.
PA PhotosJoan Smalls
Joan Smalls opts for a daring cutaway dress with a thigh-high split to turn heads on the red carpet.

If a subtle nod to the trend is more your thing, make like Lupita Nyong'o and lash the merest hint of skin with a miniscule cut-out detail.

Looking nothing short of absolutely showstopping in a dove grey cutaway gown at this year's TV BAFTAS in London, was Naomi Campbell who nearly the stole the show on the red carpet this year!
Rex FeaturesKate Bosworth
Kate Bosworth puts her best fashion foot forward in this seriously slick cut-out LBD.
Rex FeaturesRosie Huntington-Whiteley
Rosie shows us how to do cut-outs in different places. Take this shoulder cut-out dress from Victoria Beckham's S/S 2014 line.
Rex FeaturesDakota Fanning
Styling up a Topshop cutaway dress to perfection with kooky sunnies and wooden platforms, enter Dakota Fanning.
PA PhotosRumer Willis
Rumer Willis tackles the trend in her own way - in a stunning contrast metallic gown with waist cut-outs.
PA PhotosNaomi Watts
You barely notice the slashed side cut-outs on Naomi Watts' Tom Ford gown, but when you do... WOW.
PA PhotosKate Hudson
Teaming a plunging neckline AND cut-outs in one outfit? When you're Kate Hudson in this silver and pink Gucci dress, that really isn't an issue.
Rex FeaturesMollie King
Pink doesn't necessarily equal girly. We love Mollie King's fierce take on it in this directional mini dress and chunky heels.
PALupita Nyong’o
"Breathtaking" is the first word that springs to mind on sight of this cut-out Calvin Klein Collection gown. No wonder Lupita was the talk of the Critics' Choice Awards in January 2014.
