This trend came into limelight this year when celebrities like Emma Stone and Sofia Vergara decided to experiment with their looks and outfits.

Once, these celebrities donned the trend, several others followed in their footsteps. Nicole Kidman's red peplum dress added to her sex appeal while Emma Watson's yellow Peplum wasn't quite flattering. Designers took a cue from the mood of hollywood celebs and the trend was soon on the runway. Stella Mc Cartney featured black peplum dress on the runway which became a favorite of Liz Tlyer. Giambattista Valli's peplum dresses were also a hit. Proenza Schouler peplum skirt designs spilled color on the runway. Marc Jacobs provided Peplum dresses a retro appeal that reminded us about Katherine Hepburn's awesome Peplum suits. Surely, the trend rocked the runway.
