Race for Lace

Romantic lace is one of the key trends for Spring 2011. Black lace dresses are back with their usual strong and sexy feel. Monica Belucci, recreating the feel of her infamous Malena, is shot in black lace dress in the Dolce & Gabbana for Martini Gold ad.

Anna Dello Russo’s (editor at large for Vogue Japan) take on lace dress, which may not be practical for daily wear!
Here are my two favorite lace dresses (red dress – Theory; black dress – Oasis) which I have been wearing season after season. I find these two colours timeless and versatile.

These can be paired up with black tights and ankle boots or pumps. I may also add a red belt or leopard print shoes for a more colorful and wilder look. Given their timeless look, I think every girl should have at least one lace dress in her closet. What do you think?
