I love Black Halo dresses but who doesn’t? They are so elegant, so chic and timeless – great investment pieces! Unfortunately not everyone can invest $349 in a dress because they have silly stuff to pay like rent and food and mortgages. However, even at these prices Black Halo creations sell like hot cakes.

Celebrities Love Black Halo

Black Halo has always been very popular among celebrities, but this ruffled pencil dress was a must-have. I seriously lost count on how many celebrities have already been spotted in this dress. Taraji P. Henson was the first to sport one in black, then came Debra Messing and from then on the rest followed.

UPDATE (10/03/2011): Woohoo, look at these amazing Black Halo look-a-like dresses by Hybrid. You’ll get the same look for less than half the price. Love the rich plum version!

ChicStar Ruffle Sleeves Cotton Pencil Dress

If you like Black Halo’s sheath dress, but can’t spend $300+ on a dress, try this knockoff version by ChicStar. It might not be as delicate as the original, but you can’t beat the price of $34.95 (1/10!). The Black Halo knockoff dress comes in either blue or black and would make a great wear-to-work dress, don’t you think?

Black Halo is not the most creative brand when it comes to innovative design. All they seem to do every season is to either change the hemline, color or fabric on their best selling dresses and voilà a new collection is born. Their formula works however! Good thing their collection consists of classic, timeless designs, so lack of creativity is subsidiary and hence can be forgiven.

LuLu’s Jane Siegel Dress

Try this Black Halo knockoff by LuLu*s if you are looking for a similar dress. As you can see it’s almost a 1:1 copy and the price is just awesome at $33 (this is less than 1/10 of the original’s price). Not too shabby for a knockoff, right? This dress could be one of your key items this fall and you can either dress it up or tone it down with a few simple accessories.

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).
