Each celebrity out there knows the genuine price of two designer sun shades. Whether it is to cover the consequences of a late night out on the tiles or an effort to mix in in the street, a couple of quality sunglasses is completely essential. We have seen plenty of trends appear and vanish, but a great pair of sun shades will always go beyond the passing trends of the day. With the summer just round the corner, we have started our fashion trend spotting efforts for 2006. Like years passed, stars are on the advance guard of glasses fashion.

One of my favourite hobbies is to observe the fashion trends of my favourite stars. As with last season, large shades are popular for the women. Carmen Electra is one of my fave celebs, and one of the most classy girls in entertainment. While I could do without another season of her awful "reality" TV show, I'm dying to put my hands on two the Missoni shades she was latterly spotted in. Catherine Zeta-Jones can have a thing for old, outmoded actors but her fashion sense is as fresh as a spring breeze. I latterly saw her sporting two Dolce & Gabbana glasses that were out of this world. I believe they were the definitely dazzling "4005" model. They were black, with the DG brand designed into the arms of the glasses. I saw an image of her earlier in the week wearing a classic pair of Aviator shades. While a number of folks in the fashion industry have been lamenting the prevalence of flier shades, I could not imagine a world without them. Heidi was wearing a pair manufactured by Ray Ban, and they were fully great. Talking of partygirls, how could I go on without discussing Paris Hilton? I love Paris. She would possibly not be regarded seriously as an actress or vocalist, but she reigns ultimate over the fashion world. She was lately spotted wearing two the new Oakley glasses for ladies. Oakley just launched a new selection of shades completely for girls, and they're the must-have item for this fashion year.
