Ruffles Running Rampant Among Glitterati

By Jackie Burns MSN Shopping Contributor

One could have made a great drinking game out of last Sunday night's episode of Desperate Housewives. However, if you took a swig each time one of the women of Wisteria Lane appeared wearing ruffles, it would have made for a very messy Monday morning. The set of the ABC hit drama isn't the only place ruffles are running rampant. While they've been on the radar for a while now, the popular style appears to have reached fever pitch for the 2009 holiday season. R&B star Rihanna, who has been rocking ruffles for a couple of years, proved she's still a loyal fan of the uber-feminine look when she appeared in a white floor-length ruffle-infused gown at Glamour magazine's "Women of the Year" event last night in NYC. Ruffle dresses, skirts, blouses and handbags are all fashion-forward options that will allow you to play the style card while embracing your inner girly-girl this festive season.
