A fashion staple of the Eighties, the jumpsuit has made a mega comeback onto the catwalks and red carpets of late.

Teaming comfort and practicality with all manner of fashion possibilities from demure cover up to structural statement, the jumpsuit trend seems set to stay.

It may hark back to the days of David Bowie and even Elvis, but celebrities have been embracing the jumpsuit in a big way during the award season ... to varying degrees of success.

The recent Billboard Music Awards saw celebrities embracing the trend in many different styles:

Undisputed queen of fashion Kate Moss joined the latest A-list craze earlier this month when she managed to make a boiler suit look cool, not once but twice (she slipped in to her Stella McCartney design to run errands in the day as well as teaming it with a fur coat for a night on the town).

Jumpsuit super fan Miley Cyrus appeared every inch the victor as she strutted into Maxim's 2013 Hot 100 Party to collect her award as the hottest female in a black and white Valentino all-in one teamed with metallic Saint Laurent platform heels.

The Can't Be Tamed star glowed in the black suit, which featured a white band around the bust and a bow between her shoulder blades.

Proving the jumpsuits current popularity, the same jumpsuit was also worn by fashion queen Gwyneth Paltrow and Girls star Lena Dunham.

Beyonce’s little sister Solange Knowles has also recently stepped out in a jumpsuit, showing how to use the all-in-one to make a real fashion statement.

The 26-year-old singer wore a snow white jumpsuit with rouched and spherical detailing around the neckline and down the sleeves for a party at Cannes.

While the garment nipped her in at the waist it fell down to wide-legged trousers, flattering Solange's slim shape.

Ginnifer Goodwin covered up in a black and white jumpsuit when she attended the Disney Media Networks International Upfronts on the Disney Lot in Burbank, California on Sunday demonstrating how the high fashion trend can also be smart and sensible.

She teamed her cropped jumpsuit with a chic black jacket and heels in a look that would work for the office as well as the red carpet.

And at the opposite end of the all-in-one style spectrum singer Nayer, who rose to fame singing on Pitbull and Ne-Yo's ‘Give Me Everything’ showed how NOT to wear the jumpsuit on a red carpet at this year’s Billboard Music Awards.

In what appeared to be a cry for attention, the 25-year-old squeezed into a revealing tight black-and-white printed outfit featuring a hood that also worked as a top and a metallic belt.

Well if you do need to pee, you essentially have to get undressed. Not terribly practical.

Miley is the only one who looks good here. While not a particular fan of her, and I don't care for reading about her life, she does have a fantastic sense of style and always looks amazing!

Nayar... OMG, did she really go there. another deperado screaming look at me. some women have no self respect and are literally meat. As for the jump suit generally, i love them, they are so comfy. as for solange....PLEASE GET RID. solange is beyonces little sister, nothing more. shes not talented and jay zs only helping her because of beyonce. solanges music is also crap, just like beyonces. man money makes music desperate and untalented. solange even looks a state... mess. why is she heading the headinglines again we all know she didnt get anywhere the two or three times she tried getting into the music industry before. why can her management not see she is going to loose them money... jeeez

It should have stayed in the 80's. Kate Moss looks like she's about to work on my car. Miley looks like a bizzare stripper Pierrot in that weird thing she wore to the Billboard music awards and no one looks good in that Valentino jumpsuit. Ginnifer Goodwin looks like someone's mom. Solange looks like she has toilet paper stuck to her outfit. There might be a pretty, flattering jumpsuit out there that doesn't make you look 80's but none of the women pictured above have found it.
