This summer’s hottest trend is practically nothing.  Fashionistas have been spotted on red carpets everywhere in nude dresses, shoes, pants, and tops, and they look stunning. The Cannes Film Festival was filled with gorgeous actresses in equally as gorgeous get-ups. Angelina Jolie stunned in a Ferragamo belted dress while promoting her new animated film Kung Fu Panda 2 and Sleeping Beauty actress Rachel McAdams went retro in Monique Lhullier nude pants and gold corset outfit. Check out some of these styles SSD has found to round out your own nude look.

Channel Angie in this Nude Lace Bow Belted Dress by Dress Up Top Shop, priced at $170. The subtle color will accentuate your sun-kissed skin, and pairing it with nude pumps will elongate your legs and show off a slim figure.

Go for  a sleek and trendy look like Rosario Dawson in Calvin Klein, with this Obakki Cascade Dress from shopbop, priced at $338.

The tiered design adds that special and intricate factor to a sometimes flat color. Such a great summer look with wedges and a floppy hat.

Don’t be afraid to go bold with nudes, this gold corset and light pants combination is stunning and has enough dressyness to have that Wow factor. Rachel McAdam’s red lipstick contrasts the outfit perfectly, and the swept back hair compliments the retro look.

This Tulle Tulip Ruffle Cami from J.Crew would look great with white pants or over jeans, but I love how the nude color offers a gold hint, channeling Rachel’s red carpet look.

Getting sick of mini skirts and baring your thighs? Top designers, like Cynthia Rowley, feel your pain and have extended the length of skirts for a change in your spring, summer, and fall wardrobe. Like Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester, you too can find beauty in a below-the-knee or a flowing skirt. These styles are popping up all over the runway and stores, so it’s time to grab a hold of this new trend.

Paired with a crop-top, a lacy blouse, or a denim vest, long flowing skirts are all the rage for the most casual and chic summer attire. 90210′s Shenae Grimes looks very trendy in her Elizabeth and James Long Skirt and floral print cropped blouse.

Not only are these skirts supper flattering due to the curve hugging design, but they are so easy and versatile. Try this LNA Column Long Skirt, priced at $99, over a bathing suit with sandals and you’ve got a day-to-night beachy look. Add a black lace top, wedges, and a fedora and your look could grace the beach or a red carpet.

Try a boho-chic look with a printed skirt or wrap-around with a floral design, like this Indah Wrap Long Skirt, priced at $128. Your favorite button down shirt would look very flattering tied at your waist with a flowing skirt and flip-flops.

For a retro, Mad Men-inspired look, try a classy below-the-knee A-line or pencil skirt. Yes, ladies, it is definitely flattering to just show off your ankles. I would pair these skirts with a fitted tank or sweater like GG’s Blair Waldorf, or a blazer to make it even more throwback classy. Don’t be afraid to raid your closet for old designs from the 60′s and 70′s, even the 90′s!

Nothing says spring and summer like this Tibi Lillian Midi Skirt, priced at $253. It is so casual and relaxed, but still looks high-fashion. The midi-length is perfect, and will go great with wedges or a pair of flip flops.

The most popular designers on at the festival were Zadig & Voltare, Current Elliott, Aldo Shoes, Joie, and Rag & Bone. Despite Lacoste, Mulberry and Burberry all having events on hand, the sights at the festival were less familiar this year than others, some up and coming Jeremy Scott designs as well as Camilla & Marc made their way onto girls, along with good old American brand Gap and tons of swimsuits by H&M, Zara and Roxy.

Victoria’s Secret Angel, and recent mother, was dancing to the music with some friends and her fiance Jamie Mazur. She wore a white Rebecca Taylor dress, Tolani Chakra scarf and Benjamin Eyewear Nicole sunglasses.

Kate Bosworth, who was with her boyfriend Alexander Skarsgard, wore a Topshop American Flag tank top, paired with Current Elliott shorts and that eve changed into a flowing black Theyskens Theory Damia Dress with Joie shoes.  Every day she rocked her Ray-Ban aviator style sunglasses and loose hair.

Nicole Richie attended the Mulberry luncheon, wearing denim shorts paired with Mulberry “Annie” blouse and her very own House of Harlow 1960 “Jordana” sunglasses,  “Veronika” strappy wedges and a Mulberry small Heritage Bayswater bag.

Rihanna was in the audience during  Arcade Fire’s performance, wearing a camouflage jacket,  black top and jean shorts. Rihanna Tweeted: “Coachella! Fun times… Arcade Fire, u f**kin blew my mind! Felt like a kid again! U rock!!” And later that night attended Brent Bolthouse, 944 and Armani Exchange’s Carnival party off site.

“Twilight” actress Ashley Greene was with new boyfriend Jared Followill’s best friend, wearing a blue Hermanny by Vix sliding halter bikini top underneath an AllSaints Milla stripe vest with Garage  blue boyfriend shorts, and carried a Hobo Davina vintage leather handbag.

Katy Perry, perhaps the most elegant of all Coachella goers, wore a white vintage D&G lace long dress with a Mercy Delta Marylebone scarf and sunglasses.

Sucker Punch Films lead Vanessa Hudgens wore a crocheted Unif Birkin skirt with Kettle black double wrap belt and a blue Jen’s Pirate booty  tube top, along with a Tori Praver tie, a Natalie B. Tibet turquoise coral pendant necklace and Love Child chain drop three feather earring.

Music. Dancing. Fashion. Its time to head out to Indio and enjoy Coachella, and as always this year the line up is exciting! We listed the music you should not miss, although you want to see as much as you can! And also suggested items to pack and play when the music is over but you’re ready for more.  So download any of the bands you have yet to know before you go and make sure you’re ready to dance!  For style inspiration we love Kate Bosworth’s look from last year, BPCM gifted Kate an adorable dress from the French designer SUNO, the perfect item for the day.
