Alexander Wang is arguably the master of rock grunge. His clothes are exquisitely designed but also have a downtown edge. So leave it to Wang to create a LBD that is equal parts East-Village and Red-Carpet. A nude under layer hints at skin without actually showing any and a sweetheart neckline adds…well, sweetness. I’ll tell you what isn’t sweet, though: that price tag. Oh, and did we mention it’s also sold out? Sit tight, though, we just might have something for you…

Topshop Bandage Ruch Bandeau Dress
Topshop‘s “Bandage Ruch Bandeau Dress” might not be a dead-ringer for the Alexander Wang dress above, but by golly it’s darn close. I might even argue that it’s better. I’m really enjoying the thicker bands of fabric that are strategically placed over the hip and bust area. Of course we still have that hint of a sweetheart neckline and the mini-length and at $90 ($90!) this really is a steal. I predict this one will sell out fast.

Megan Fox always looks sexy, whether she’s wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt or a dress with a slit up to “there”. For this post we will be addressing the latter. Fox wore a Cavalli stunner to the Transformers 2 premiere in Berlin. It was a beautiful maroon, draped gown and had lovely jeweled detailing at the waist. Paired with that high slit and those 5 inch nude pumps, Megan looked like a million bucks.

ASOS Diamante Hoop Split Front Maxi Dress
It’s not often that a “steal” version comes along that I think surpasses the original, but in this case it’s true. There’s no denying that the Roberto Cavalli dress is a stunner (especially on Ms. Fox), but what real woman is going to feel comfortable wearing a dress with a slit that high? It’s just not practical! ASOS has yet again come to the rescue. I’m really feeling their “Diamante Hoop Split Front Maxi Dress”. The real-world-friendly version of the dress comes in the most delectable, rich colors and the slit isn’t quite as high! Hooray! Best of all the dress is quite modestly priced at less than $80.

I don’t know about you guys but I have been enamored with the Chloé Paddington satchel ever since it emerged on the scene 5 years ago. I wasn’t the only one, though, this bag was an instantaneous hit. Along with some sister “It” bags (the Fendi Spy bag and the Marc Jacobs Stam, both of which we’ve covered here on InTheirCloset) the Paddington began to show up everywhere on the arms of fashionable celebrities. I think it was (and continues to be) so popular because of its perfect slouchy shape, roomy interior, and of course that to-die-for hardware. Sadly the Paddington has always been out of my price-range and, due to its popularity, there is really no hope of it ever going on sale.

Baghaus “Madeleine” Padlock Tote
Now granted I don’t have this bag in my hand right now, but just looking at the picture I can tell that Baghaus really knocked it out of the park with their “Madeleine” tote. How soft and slouchy does it look? The longer shoulder handle is missing but otherwise this bag looks pretty darn picture-perfect. Available in a multitude of colors (black, brown, beige, bronze, blue, white and pewter), this bag is guaranteed to get you tons of compliments. Personally, I’m loving the beige and brown.

Hello, my name is Angie, just sending in a suggestion. I saw a picture of Megan Fox when I believe she attended an Armani fashion show. Just would like to know the name of the dress and if you guys have a possible Real vs. Steal scenario. Thank you.
Angie, we’re with you on the enviable fabulousness of Megan Fox in her Armani Privé one-shoulder dress. She is the epitome of goddess-like beauty, isn’t she? The draping, the fit, those red lips—they all add up to one undeniably gorgeous ensemble.

ASOS Twisted Slinky One Shoulder Dress
We’ve scoured the ‘Net, but Angie, try as we might, a dead-ringer for Megan’s dress never surfaced. Of course, it is Armani Privé, which is Armani-speak for one-of-a-kind. Don’t you worry, though. We unearthed this white ASOS dress which also has a one-shoulder look, and a very respectable price. Add red lips and black peep-toe pumps and channel your own inner goddess. Available in 6 colors.

Tadashi Ruched Matte Jersey Dress
Another lovely option (with a more Grecian look like the Armani Privé) is this stunner by Tadashi Shoji. It would have been our first “steal” recommendation, but it is not available in white. Boo. However, isn’t the fuchsia a sight to behold? We love the vibrant color and ultra-flattering draping, and can’t imagine that anyone who wore this dress wouldn’t get a gazillion compliments on it. Also available in coral and black.

ASOS PRINCESS Peep Toe Shoes
If you want to replicate Megan’s look head-to-toe and you still need a pair of black pumps, ASOS has a pair that looks just like the ones Megan wore.

I’ve got to admit that I’m a bit surprised by the incredible popularity of the Brian Atwood Lola Pump, because it is bold shoe, to say the least. Yet Lola, and the peep-toe version Wiked, have been photographed on almost a dozen celebrities. No wonder why it’s now sold out.

N.Y.L.A. “Bandit” T-Strap Pumps
If you had your eye on Brian Atwood’s no-longer-available Lola, the “Bandit” T-Strap Pump by N.Y.L.A. is an excellent alternative. And at $119.95, you can channel Katy’s femme fatale look or Megan’s rocker chic without an ounce of buyer’s remorse. Available in black leather or cheetah pony.
