After ombre was shown at Prada's 2007 fall show, lovelies like Ali Carter, Paris Hilton, and Thandi Newton ate the trend up. For spring 2008, many other designers like Diane von Furstenberg, Giles, and Adam + Eve followed suit in lighter and brighter colors.

A few tips to follow up with and you'll be ombre-tastic in minutes.

• This look is loud on its own. Keep accessories neutral and silver or gold jewelry to a minimum.

• Wear it with some of the strappy shoe bootie hybrids to add some forward style.

• Pair it with metallic gladiators for a low key, just breeze in from St. Tropez look.

• Don't wear too much of a good thing. Stick with one ombre piece at a time.
