Golden Globes Fashion: The Looks for Less

The Red Carpet at the recent Golden Globes was alive with some of the best designer gowns in fashion today.  We saw garments from Donna Karan, Lanvin, Monique Lhuillier, Versace, Vera Wang, Calvin Klein and the above pictured black Oscar De La Renta gown.  Although there was lots of color on the Red Carpet  Piper Perabo’s back Oscar with the fishtail was one of my favorites. If any of you are looking to replicate Piper’s chic simple black gown, look now further than eDressMe.com.   They have a similar dress for $250.00 US.

Another dress I loved on the Globes Red Carpet was Mila Jovovich’s stunning Giorgio Armani Privé evening gown. The off the shoulder bodice, mermaid bottom and beading screamed old Hollywood glamour.  If you’re look for something similar (not an exact duplicate), click over to Unique Vintage and check out their Alabaster prom dress by Mignon for $298.00. It’s not an exact match, but then again, it’s for a special occasion or prom not the red carpet.

 Some of the dresses I loved on the Red Carpet like Catherine Zeta-Jones jacquard brocade Monique Lhuillier can’t be duplicated.   There is no peer for all that detail.  She looked amazing.  If any of you find a good replicate, let me know.  A site called Dino Direct has a ruffled bridal gown for under $200.00 that has the ruffled skirt, but not the incredible detailed.

What do you think readers? Any favorite gowns you have found “replicas” of?
