Sheer

Christopher Kane has gained quite a bit of momentum lately with many of his designs being worn on the red carpet by red carpet pros such as Diane Kruger and Emma Watson. His collaboration with Topshop has definitely raised his profile as well. The layered geometric sheer dress below is just beautiful. I love the sculptural sillhouette, the subtle sheerness and the contrasting black velvet piping. A modern take on the classic shift dress.

ASOS PETITE Organza Shift Dress

If you want the same look without breaking the bank, ASOS has a really good and budget-friendly option. They changed the color to be a light pink instead of eggshell and the black piping is slightly different as well, but all in all it will still give you a very similar look for a much lower price.

This dress by Marc Jacobs may be already a few seasons old (Resort 2009 to be exact), but that doesn’t take away from its beauty. I remember falling in love with this one shouldered silk dress back in 2008 when I first saw it on Victoria Beckham who wore it to the 2008 CFDA Fashion Awards (the Oscars for fashion designers).

Jovonna Pure Silk Heart Cut Out Dress

If you’re looking for a more affordable option, try this dress by Jovonna. It isn’t one-shouldered and doesn’t have a black satin sash, but the heart print is almost identical and it’s also made of 100% silk like the Marc Jacobs dress. A great dress for the perfect holiday outfit.

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.

I never thought Rodarte would at one point become so commercially successful that mainstream retailers such as Bebe would do knockoffs of their creations. I guess I was wrong.

Their Rodarte knockoff dress might not be a steal at $229, but I’m pretty sure it’s the closest most of us will ever come to the original because a) their creations are pretty exclusive (also in aspect of the price) and b) Rodarte isn’t quite a household name in the upscale retail industry yet. So grab your chance while you can!

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.
