Celebrities have a unique ability to put something on, make it look fabulous and inspire us to want it. The price tag is usually way too high to be within our grasp, though. With a bit of creativity and research, you can steal their looks for a fraction of the price.
Before you can steal a celeb’s style, you have to know which one you want. Watch some red carpet events, such as movie awards, screenings or Hollywood parties, and keep your eye out for a star that resembles your body type and complexion. A dress that looks fabulous on a dark skinned, dark haired starlet may not be as flattering if you’re pale skinned and fair haired.
When you’re watching these, consider that both red carpet and runway trends often run several months ahead of what’s about to hit the stores. If you want to copy a recent style, you’ll need to be resourceful in your shopping. Maybe you can emulate the feeling of the gown, rather than the style itself.
With that said, what seems to be in this year?
Look for strapless dresses with lean silhouettes, but avoid them if they have billowing skirts. The designer’s previews for the stars highlighted monochromatic, well fitted gowns. Just-off-white and black were big hits, as were other neutrals. If you can’t (or don’t want to) pull off a strapless dress, look for a similarly fitted style with an interesting, asymmetrical neckline.
