I’m always happy to see celebrities wearing accessible fashion, especially when they’re hitting the red carpet. Selena Gomez did just that by opting for a Balmain-ish ASOS black frock ($146.54) which she paired with a pair of steep Giuseppe Zanotti chiffon sandals ($850) at the GRAMMY Nominations Concert a few days ago. Well, you can’t expect a celeb going budget fashion head-to-toe I guess.

Alexander Wang‘s Pre-Fall 2009 collection was one of his best collections ever in my opinion. I remember how much I drooled over almost each and every piece. Everything looked so sensual and sexy and the strapless corset dress below was probably my favorite piece from the collection. Then celebrity stylists discovered this dress and I became fed up with seeing this dress so often on a celebrity.

Bebe Double Layer Strapless Satin Dress

I first saw this strapless satin dress in Bebe‘s Holiday Lookbook and have since waited for weeks for it to become available. Even though material and colors differ slightly, it’s still pretty easy to see this dress is an obvious knockoff of the Alexander Wang corset dress. Me likey.

Back in June Heather Graham walked the red carpet of the Los Angeles premiere for “The Hangover” in a ravishing red satin dress by Dolce & Gabbana. The blonde actress was a total knockout in her corseted, body-con dress which she finished off with her favorite Jimmy Choo sandals and perfectly coiffed hair. Love it! This is one of my favorite red carpet looks this year.

Last week Rihanna was spotted leaving Kanye West’s apartment looking fabulous in a sexy nude and black corseted strapless dress from Alexander Wang’s Pre-Fall 2009 collection with black Jil Sander platform pumps and a silver metallic hobo bag. LOOOOVE this dress (it’s Alexander Wang, so no surprise here); Rihanna really wowed me with this look. Let’s hope she stays on that course fashionwise.
