Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of fashion fun!

Blame Johnny Depp, mateys. That pirate actor, supposedly seen all over Evergreen, seems to have spurred skulls and crossbones to sit squarely in the style hot seat.

Depp's Jack Sparrow, star of the box-office record-setting Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, released last week, may have helped spark the pirate fashion craze, but trendsetters from Ashlee Simpson to Natalie Portman to tiny Shiloh Jolie-Pitt are donning skulls, swords and other prized booty.

The Brangelina babe wore a skull and crossbones T-shirt on the cover of People magazine. Portman opted for a skull- printed T-shirt during a Total Request Live appearance on MTV. Ashlee Simpson tossed a $450 Alexander McQueen skull scarf around her shoulders during the TRL Awards.

And at Los Angeles fall Fashion Week, a slew of designers sent pirate-friendly wares down their runways.

Here's a look at celebs in on the trend, as well as a few treasures you might add to your own wardrobe.

Ahoy!
