Kate Middleton Wedding Look For Less

After the royal wedding just about a year ago there has been a rush in people going to bridal salons looking for the Princess Kate dress. Now you can not buy her Alexander McQueen gown from any bridal salon as it was custom made for her for the wedding.

But if you head over to Davids Bridal you can own an almost exact copy of this gown for $599.99. The princess accessorized her bridal ensemble with custom matching Alexander McQueen lace peep toe pumps, and you can have your own version for $74 from BridalShoes.Com and a lightly detailed veil which I have found a similar one from TiaraGarden.Com for $100.74. Now for the bling she chose a custom made Cartier halo tiara from the crown jewels that is eternally priceless that Tiara Town has knocked off for a mere $52 and a pair of stunning diamond drop earrings that were gifted to her by her parents for the wedding which have also been knocked off these by Emitations for $89.99. you yourself can look just like Princess Kate whilst marrying your very own prince charming for the budget price of $916.72, vintage Bentley and lavish cathedral not included.

Chelsea Clinton Bridal Look For Less

When Chelsea Clinton married in July of 2010 it was like American royalty walking down the aisle. She looked stunning in a custom made Vera Wang gown that is more than out of the price range of most of the people. Well that is why I have dedicated this week to get these iconic bridal looks for less.

I will start off by admitting that today is going to be the most expensive look of the entire week, but that is because I am matching Chelsea's custom Vera Wang gown with a White by Vera Wang gown for Davids Bridal that retails for $1,248. Now anyone who knows Vera's main line bridal gowns start at $5,000 and then continue to rise, so this gown is actually a steal for the designer. Chelsea let her gown do all the talking by wearing a simple pair of peep toe pumps. I decided to add a little flair to the shoe by having the classic white pump have a bow on the back of the heel from Light-In-The-Box.com for $37.79. A simple waltz length dual layer veil from VeilShop.com for $79 and a vintage inspired crystal encrusted bangle for $109.99. All this together comes to a grand total of...$1,474.78

Modern Audrey Hepburn Look For Less

People have always looked back at the iconic Audrey Hepburn for style inspiration and I am sure they will continue to do so in the future. For this bridal look I feel that I had to feature some sort of Audrey look and this stunning simplistic dress was made especially for Audrey for her film 'Funny Face' buy legendary french designer Hubert de Givenchy. This is not the gown you would wear for your large church wedding but for a small outdoor or a little white church.

This is my interpretation of the iconic Audrey Hepburn style. I started with an Oleg Cassini for Davids Bridal, the tea length strapless tulle skirted applique embellished gown (which retails for $650) is totally something that she would wear if she were filming this movie today. I feel Audrey would add a pair of standout color shoes, so I chose this amazing light aqua Badgley Mischka peep toe pump with a crystal encrusted toe from Piperlime.com for $245. And just accessorizing with a crystal headband for $178 and a net face veil for $36 from HairComeTheBride.com. The Audrey Hepburn inspired bridal ensemble could be yours for $1,109!

Bella Swan Look For Less

Since the release of the first insalment of 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn' there has been an influx in women that want to look like Bella did on her wedding day. Well this is an extremely expensive ensemble to recreate because for her wedding Bella wore a custom made Carolina Herrera crepe silk gown with French and chantily lace details and nearly 200 buttons trailing down the back. This gown has been rumored to cost $35,000. Now add that with a diamond and sapphire hair comb that could eaisally start at $500,000 and work its way up to over $1,000,000. Carolina Herrera has stated that she will sell a version of Bella's dress in her 2012 collection but ye be warned about how expensive the actual dress will cost.

One of the cheaper items, yet still extremely expensive are the Manolo Blahnik swan embellished white satin crystal encrusted pumps that are available from Bergdorf Goodman for $1,295. They are an almond toe shoe with a four and a half in heel. 

Now to create this look it is not that hard or that expensive. Days after the film premiered bridal designer Alfred Angelo already had a perfect knockoff of the gown available for purchase. In comparison to the $35,000 Carolina Herrera gown the Alfred Angelo dress is available to everyone at $799. The ultimate Twilight gear retailer Hot Topic is selling their recreation of the hair comb with rhinestone crystals for $21.98, and to add an elegant touch add a 1 layer cathedral length lace edged veil from Light-In-The-Box.com for $29.39. I know that the shoe is not exactly the same shoe but they are both closed toe shoes with a crystal detail these come from Light-In-The-Box.com as well for $99.99 compared to the Manolo's that cost over $1,200. My whole Bella ensemble can be yours for $950.36 compared to a million dollars.

Elizabeth Olsen Premiere Looks for 'Silent House'

 I am really in love with Elizabeth Olsen on the red carpet as she almost always looks absolutely stunning on the red carpet for the most part. I am extremely excited to see what she is going to bring to the red carpet as she was one of my ones to watch this year.

There will most likely going to be two premieres, one in Los Angeles and one in New York. For LA I think that Elizabeth will be more trendy for the premiere wearing this amazing black, aqua, and white Proenza Schouler dress. I think that this would look absolutely amazing on Lizzie. She should pair it with a pair of strappy black sandals an amazing Chanel clutch. And then I think that she will be a little more sophisticated look for New York by wearing this black The Row ensemble with a glitter top and black pants. A pair of black pumps and a red clutch would be amazing for this look at the premiere.
