Subtract the last-minute shopping and back-to-back food comas, and you'll come to realize that the holiday season is all about the details: precisely placed trimming, crease-less gift wrapping, meticulously frosted sugar cookies. So it's only fitting that starlets have been decorating the red carpet with the most detailed and delicate fabric of all: lace. Whether it's on a floor-length ball gown or a two-piece suit, lace is everywhere right now. Luckily for stylists and those of us on trend-watch, the pattern is so intricate, each celeb's get-up is completely unique -- like its own special snowflake.

So whether you take your fashion cues from a Victoria's Secret angel or the Duchess of Cambridge -- or you're just missing all of summer's skin-bearing opportunities -- this winter trend has something for everyone, wherever you fall on the skin-bearing spectrum.
