Fashion trend: masculine suits

Step away from the party dress! The only way to make a style statement this Christmas is to invest in a masculine trouser suit.

November 30, 2010 can officially go down in fashion history as 'suit night'. In Japan, actress Olivia Wilde attended the premiere of her new film, 'Tron: Legacy', wearing this sharp ensemble. We're accustomed to seeing Wilde in frothy and sparkly gowns on the red carpet, but she looks great in this contrasting style.


Over in New York on the same night, actress Jessica Alba wore a Dolce & Gabbana two-piece to an awards ceremony, completing her look with studded Christian Louboutin pumps.


It's still the evening of November 30, and Winona Ryder donned an all-black Givenchy look to the 'Black Swan' premiere in New York.


Over in Australia on the 30th, model Lara Bingle made an entrance at the GQ Awards in this Dion Lee jacket, customising her look with a black ribbon around the collar of her white shirt.


Only the day before the 'red carpet suit takeover', on November 29, Leighton Meester was almost unrecognisable at the Gotham Independent Film Awards, in a charcoal coloured design by Thom Browne.


Supermodel Karolina Kurkova stepped out in a shocking-red Givenchy trouser-suit back in November...


...The Givency by Riccardo Tisci autumn/winter 2010 collection featured cropped trousers and oversized, but super-sleek, tailored jackets.


Design duo Dolce & Gabbana made tailoring the focus of their autumn/winter 2010 collection, producing a diverse plethora of nipped-in jackets and slouchy blazers.


Back in October, Eva Longoria left her itsy-bitsy dresses at home, and went for the renowned craftsmanship of an Yves Saint Laurent suit.


Halle Berry as the poster girl for how to not wear a suit... this brocade Balmain creation might have looked fun on the catwalk, but in real life it looks like Berry was the victim of a full-on 'gold-attack'.
