Celebrities are going to great lengths to cover their arms.  Look no further than than the red-carpet to realize that long-sleeved evening gowns with sleeves are Hollywood's latest fashion rage. At the 2013 Soul Train Awards, stars and their guests shined in designs with sleeves. Singer Faith Evans showed she had the Midas touch for being on fashion trend in a black and gold body-con sheath that hugged her curves and covered her arms to the wrists.  Dionne Warwick followed the color cue wearing a black satin slip dress with a magnificent gold long-sleeve metallic jacket that looked oh-so appropriate for her age.
