A Rainbow Shower

Longing to hear those three magic words? Well, here goes... a la Gucci. There I said it. This season there is no escaping the trends tumbling off the Gucci catwalk. And, one of the best, is the end of the reign of nude and barely-there colours (fun though they were) and the new rule of bold, super- brights.

There is only one rule: there are no rules. For the fashion forward wear contrasting, deep colours and even flash a panel of black for maximum impact.

For those a little more conservative at heart, the high street is already full of gorgeous bright accessories. Try a pink suede clutch from Topshop, a patent green skinny belt from ASOS or a bright stoned cuff from bagsofparkle.com.

The Emmy's 2010 - Best dressed

There were many a gorgeous and well dressed star at this year's Emmy Awards. But here's my pick of the very best dressed both on the red carpet and at the most glamorous after-show parties.

Mad Men star January Jones stunned in this shimmering sea blue satin gown. Teamed with black classic platforms, this Atelier Versace dress with fitted corset and train was the perfect amount of glamour, originality and sophistication for the event. Truly beautiful.

In a one-shouldered, floaty, lavender Christian Dior dress Emily Blunt ensured that all eyes were on her at this year's awards. This unusual colour choice showed off Emily's pale skin tone perfectly. And the cream sequined embellishment keeps the dress looking modern.

This floor-skimming, navy Oscar de la Renta gown had Glee's Lea Michele catching everyone's eye. The strapless, ruffled gown was full on extravagance and showed off Lea's figure to its best.

In a simple cut floor length gown, Troy actress Rose Bryn opted for classic style. Updated with a gold belt and straps, and a flash of flesh, this white Gucci dress stole the day.

Vampire Diaries actress Nina Dobrev was on trend in this beautiful nude, one shouldered lace gown. Accessorized with elegant drop earrings and a sophisticated up do, this Zuhair Murad creation screams effortless cool.

Anna Paquin opted for an original choice, when she wore this black and gold Alexander McQueen number. The accentuated shoulders and deep neckline added extra detail to the heavy embellishment. Teamed with gold bangles and killer black patent courts, Anna brought a youthful and creative spin to the event.
