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!

I remember the time when I first discovered the Hervé Léger brand. That was back in 2007 when the bandage dresses weren’t so overexposed on the red carpet. I was so smitten with the whole Spring 2008 collection, I used to browse the Hervé Léger website for hours just staring at all the beautiful dresses which looked like they’ve been sprayed on the model’s impeccable body.

The white dress below used to be my absolute favorite. The crisp white color and the hourglass shape made it simply irresistible.

BB Dakota "The Rebel Dress"

This knockoff dress by BB Dakota may be only available in black and pistachio, but the straps as well as the bandage detailing are the same as on the original Hervé Léger dress. The “Rebel” dress retails for $65 and if you enter coupon code TASH09 at the checkout, you’ll receive 15% OFF your entire order.

Lipsy Strap Detail Body-Con Dress

European Hervé Léger aficionados can also grab their own bandage dress 4 less. Lipsy has a very similar to the one above which retails for £65 (~$107) and comes in either lavender (pictured) or coral.

Back in January at VH1′s 14th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards, Anne Hathaway was a total knockout in a monochrome Gianfranco Ferré strapless dress. Anne channelled her inner Cruella de Vil and totally pulled it off being one of the best dressed celebrities at this event.

Who?Anne Hathaway
Where?VH1′s 14th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards, Santa Monica

What?Gianfranco Ferré Spring 2009 two-tone dress

Alice + Olivia Colorblock Fan Dress

This dress by Alice + Olivia isn’t a blatant copy, but it’s certainly inspired by Gianfranco Ferré. Their interpretation of the dress has been mainstreamed and it’s rather suited for a night out in town than say for a red carpet event, but this is not automatically a bad thing since most of us mortals aren’t flaunting the red carpet too often anyway, right? ;-)

Rihanna has worn a multitude of fabulous things last week and I wanted to give you all a small update on her latest fab acquisitions. I loved her black Alexander McQueen killer zip up booties which she wore to Fred Segal on June 02, 2009. A few days before, Rihanna looked incredibly sexy in a one shouldered Alexander Wang LBD. On that same day Rihanna also sported a casual outfit by pairing a white Brian Reyes vest together with a blue MiH Jeans skinny jeans. Keep on going, RiRi!

You’re probably already aware of my obsession for everything nautical, so it may not surprise you that seeing Emmy Rossum in this super cute VAVA by Joy Han skipper dress makes me swoon. Emmy attended Nivea and Shay Todd’s “Bikini Bash” in Malibu a few days ago and looked simply drop dead gorgeous in that dress whilst being perfectly accessorized with a white Gustto “Andrea” satchel.

I am really, really loving Emmy’s dress – the cute navy striped bodice, the high-waisted denim skirt and don’t even get me started on the cute gold buttons! L-O-V-E! Perfect summer dress.
