10 celebs looking stunning in lace

Lace seems to be the texture of choice on the red carpet lately. But how do you wear it without looking like your grandmother?

These stars show us how to pull off the look in a variety of ways.

Sophia Bush in Marchesa

For the recent CFDA Awards, the newly blond Sophia Bush avoided the “girly girl” look by pairing her Marchesa dress with an edgy statement necklace and vampy dark red lips.

Camilla Belle in Monique Lhuillier

At April’s Jimmy Choo launch event for CHOO.08, Camilla Belle explored her gray side in this Monique Lhuillier set, the perfect combination of hard and soft.

Ashley Madekwe in Monique Lhuillier

“Revenge” is a dish best served in pink. For Monique Lhuillier’s prefall lunch in May, TV’s Ashley Madekwe added some texture to her color-blocked lace top-and-skirt combo.

Hilary Rhoda in J. Mendel

Hilary Rhoda didn’t get the memo that transparent clothing was supposed to be vulgar. At the CFDA Awards, she looked peachy keen in this runway look by J. Mendel.

Diane Kruger in Valentino Couture

At Vanity Fair’s Oscars party back in March, Diane Kruger looked like a fallen angel — ethereal, yes, but darkly dangerous in Valentino Couture.

Miranda Kerr in Lover

You can see why Miranda Kerr left her toddler at home for May’s Swarovski Gala Dinner — she wouldn’t want anyone getting sticky food on this retro number.

Emma Roberts in Alexia Ulibarri

A slight trend overload — crop top AND a sheer skirt — but we admire Emma Roberts’ boldness in combining different textures and Easter-egg colors for her May appearance at Extra.

Kate Hudson in a Candela top and Etro pants

Clichéd as it sounds, Kate Hudson looks like America’s sweetheart in this Candela and Etro pairing at the Chrome Hearts & Kate Hudson Garden Party.

Zendaya Coleman in Peter Pilotto

We’d probably look idiotic wearing this lace-paneled top and skirt, even at April’s Radio Disney Music Awards. But 17-year-old singer Zendaya Coleman has the youthful swagger to pull it off.

Katharine McPhee in Sandro

For May’s CBS Summer Soiree, Katharine McPhee looks “Smash”-ing in this sweet, thigh-skimming dress from Sandro.
