I couldn’t forget these black suede cutout Louboutin booties ever since I first saw them presented along with Roland Mouret’s Fall 2009 collection. I instantly fell in love and was sure these ankle boots would take off in editorials and on the red carpet equally since they are so endlessly chic and far away from being your average generic ankle boot with their sexy nude mesh cutouts. Rawrrr!

I’ve been waiting so long for a knockoff of these and finally N.Y.L.A. has come up with a pretty good alternative. Their Circus “inspired” booties are black patent instead of suede and they also miss the Louboutin signature red sole, but everything else looks almost identical. Also available in gold.

Megan Fox. Who hasn’t heard of her by now? While her acting skills can be questioned one thing that speaks for this pretty young thing is her incredible beauty. Guys want her and girls want to look like her. Back in June Megan made an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman looking stunning in a black plunge Hervé L. Leroux bandage dress. Old Hollywood curls, flawless makeup and matching black Courtney Crawford slingbacks completed Megan’s sexy look. Wowza! This girl certainly knows how to work the media.

Lipsy Plunge Mesh Body Con Dress
If you want to replicate Megan’s sultry look, this body con LBD by Lipsy will give you the same vixen effect without the hefty price tag.

Today we have yet another Balmain find. I know you’re probably totally bored by all the Balmain knockoffs, but I just had to post this dress as I’m absolutely mesmerized by it. The crystal embellishments and the woven mesh effect of the dress are just to-die-for. I already picture myself wearing this LBD with a cropped leather jacket to toughen up the cuteness of the dress.

Alice + Olivia Strapless Mesh Party Dress
Alice + Olivia isn’t exactly a budget-friendly brand, but if you consider that the original Balmain dress would set you back about 8k-10k, spending $550 on a close high quality knockoff seems like a pretty good move, don’t you agree? This dress is not an exact rip-off because it misses the bottom embellishment on the skirt, but overall it’s still a great option if you are looking for a cheaper Balmain alternative.

I didn’t like too many pieces from Alexander Wang’s Fall 2009 collection, but the white dress below with its sexy asymmetrical details and the mesh sleeve definitely belongs to my favorites. The dress won’t be available for another few weeks, but there’s already a knockoff version floating around the internet.

Bebe One Shoulder Mesh Dress
If there’s one thing Bebe is particularly good in when producing knockoffs, then it’s picking up on trends before others. While their competitors are still trying to catch up on last season’s trends, Bebe is already producing knockoffs from next season. They last did that with a similar Alexander Wang LBD from the Pre-Fall 2009 collection and they did it again with yet another Alexander Wang mesh dress. Bebe’s knockoff version seems to be a hybrid between the Pre-Fall 2009 LBD and the dress above. The dress comes in black only and retails for affordable $49.

I’m so in love with this dress, it’s ridiculous. I’ve declared my neverending love for Alexander Wang many times before, he always amazes me with his newest creations. My latest addiction is this black bodycon Pre-Fall 2009 dress which has mesh insets on the neck and thigh. I just can’t stop gushing about it. It’s perfection. It’s all I want to wear. All day long. Ever!
The dress hasn’t hit the sales racks yet, but when it does it definitely will be in the $500-$1000 bracket.
UPDATE #1: The dress is now available at Shopbop for $565.

Bebe Mesh Inset Seamless Dress
Count on Bebe to get you fixed with some good ol’ knockoffs. I randomly browsed their site today and found this fantastic 1:1 Alexander Wang copy for $59.
I so want to buy, but shipping to Europe + taxes/duty costs are outrageous, the sum would total in 3x of the dress price. If I can’t find someone in the US being kind enough to buy and ship it for me, I won’t be able to get my hands on it. Grrrrrr, SO UNFAIR!
