Celebrity Looks for Less: Going for the Globes

In a previous post I discussed my fashion picks for the 2007 Golden Globes. For those of you who, like myself, enjoy the red carpet fashions, I've found some recreations that are much more affordable than the original versions. Below are some beautifully done dresses that can make anyone feel like a movie star for a fraction of the price.





Eva Longoria's navy-colored Emanuel Ungaro gown was an admitted first for her, and a favorite of mine as I am always a fan of blue. After the Globes this year, Access Hollywood had a piece on celebrity-inspired gowns by Faviana New York and featured a newly created knock-off of her 2007 Globes gown, as well as ones inspired by Drew Barrymore, Penelope Cruz, Kate Winslet, and even Beyonce. I've worn a Faviana gown myself and can attest that they are beautiful gowns of quality yet very reasonably priced. Faviana is known for recreating celebrity red carpet looks and famous dresses from film and tv, and making affordable versions available to regular people.

One of the few spots of color in the ultra-unusual red carpet choice of yellow, Reese Witherspoon's strapless canary cocktail dress by Nina Ricci cost thousands more than eDressMe New York's version which can be pre-ordered for only 198 dollars and will be shipped mid-March.

Former American Idol contestant Jennifer Hudson went for simple and sleek black Vera Wang, a designer who epitomizes soft sophistication and feminine elegance, and charges plenty for it to boot. However, eDressMe New York also has a version, and this one retails for only 295 dollars and can also be pre-ordered to ship come mid-March.
