Charlize Theron is one of my red carpet icons and she never fails to impress – on and off the red carpet. Last year Charlize made an appearance on David Letterman looking sultry in a black body-con dress by Narciso Rodriguez. The dress may have looked simple from the front, but Charlize’s backview revealed stunning criss-cross details. Love this look!

Eight Sixty “Body Con” Cutout Knit Dress
UPDATE (02/23/2010): Here’s another great Narciso Rodriguez alternative by Eight Sixty.

Walter “Kristin” Little Black Dress
This Narciso Rodriguez LBD look-a-like by Walter will give you an almost identical silhouette and the same bondage effect though this dress is shorter than the original. Kristin Cavallari has been spotted wearing this dress to a fashion show a few days ago, so it can’t be too bad, right? Plus, it costs under $100 which is a steal considering you’d have to pay aproxx. $2k for the original.

OK, so sometimes I kind of become obsessed with certain celebrity fashion items – mostly shoes. This summer it’s the uber gorgeous gladiator wedges first seen on Vanessa Hudgens by Cynthia Vincent. And I wasn’t the only one who fell in love with those summer heels as they sold out like really, really fast despite the hefty price tag of over $400.

Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Luella Wedges
I spent the last weeks trying to track the wedges down as they’ve been requested a lot, but every online shop seemed to have run out of these. Except for one little secret boutique which I stumbled upon yesterday. There is one downside however. You can only pre-order the wedges and they won’t be shipped until the end of November. BUT – if you really like these sandals, you better order now before they sell out again. You most probably regret it sooner or later (happened to me several times
).
FYI: They sell the tobacco/cognac version only with a brown heel
, but their nude version (not pictured) looks almost like Vanessa’s heels to me (maybe one shade lighter), so you can choose which version you prefer.

I’m sort of in love with the Black Halo dress below. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so versatile, so elegant and so fabulous. It would make a great cocktail dress with a pair of funky statement heels or a chic wear-to-work frock with a cardigan or a cropped jacket to cover the bare shoulders. The problem is: it’s sold out everywhere. Even if you could afford spending more than $300 on a dress, you’d probably have a hard time tracking this dress down.

ChicStar One Shoulder Pencil Dress
You may remember that I already wrote about Chic Star doing Black Halo knockoffs a while back. Seems like they do well with imitating Black Halo dresses. This one-shouldered dress is longer than the original Black Halo, but you won’t hear me complaining. The dress retails for affordable $39.95 and comes in 2 colors (black and navy).
