Take Her Look [For Less]

There was a party down under, and celebrities turned out in high style to mark the occasion. On Oct. 29, the H&M Sydney Flagship store held a VIP party in Sydney, Australia, and showing up in one of the most eye-catching looks of the night was Solange Knowles.

Wearing nothing but an oversized blazer that served as her dress, InStyle says Knowles paired her risqué look with black Schutz cage heels and a sparkly black frame clutch. She capped off her look with a slick of bright orange eyeliner and voluminous locks.

We loved Solange Knowles’ daring night-out look, but her Schutz Juliana Caged Sandals alone cost $190. So we set out to recreate her entire outfit for less than $190 — that’s a dress, shoes and clutch for under the cost of her shoes. Read on for the results!

It was surprisingly easy to find a dress similar to Knowles’ oversized blazer look, and we found the perfect look-alike piece in the form of the Long Sleeve Tux Dress from Missguided. This dress’s double-breasted design, gold buttons and satiny lapel invoke Knowles’ frock and deliver a strikingly similar silhouette for only $68.

A dress like this calls for a fabulous shoe, and there is no better shoe for the job than the Zigi Soho Duran Bootie from DSW. Featuring a similar cage design, this shoe offers an extra bit of shine with its tiny rhinestone embellishment. For only $79.95, these shoes come in well under Knowles’ $190 Schutz style, but are just as fashionable.

Finishing off our look for less is the Lulu Townsend Noelle Clutch from DSW, which features a sparkly netted pattern reminiscent of Knowles’ clutch. This frame clutch will complete your look-alike ensemble for only $34.95.

Although Solange Knowles’ H&M VIP party look consisted of shoes that cost $190, we were able to recreate her entire look from head to toe for only $182.90. Add some bold orange eyeliner, and you’ll be ready for any VIP event!

Happy Shopping!

Take Her Look [For Less]

From Paris Fashion Week to an opening gala in Torrance, California, it’s safe to say that Zendaya had an interesting — and fashionable — week to say the least.

Attending the Nordstrom Del Amo Fashion Center Opening Gala at the Nordstrom Del Amo Fashion Center on Tuesday, Oct. 6, Zendaya showed up in nothing less than a stunning outfit, opting for a breezy Elizabeth and James dress which she paired with neutral cage booties by Schutz, InStyle reports. The actress completed her look with face-framing chandelier earrings, a slicked-back updo and dewy makeup.

While we adore Zendaya’s easy-chic look, we wish we could say the same about its price. Her Elizabeth and James frock — the ‘Indra’ Sleeveless Sheath Dress — is currently available at Nordstrom for $395, while her Juliana Caged Sandals by Schutz retail on ShopBop for $190. If you love her look as much as we do, but can’t spring for its $585 price, we were able to find look-alike piece to recreate her entire outfit for under $200. Read on for the results!

Finding a dress to rival Zendaya’s simple Elizabeth and James tank dress was no easy task, but we thought the ASOS Midi Tank Dress came pretty close. Although this dress features a funnel neckline, it shares its mid-calf length and tank style, while also incorporating side slits reminiscent of Zendaya’s Elizabeth and James number. One other thing this dress doesn’t share with Zendaya’s dress —  its nearly $400 price. This dress is available on ASOS.com in regular, tall and petite sizes for only $62.70.

Next on our shopping list was a pair of caged booties, and we found the perfect pair in the form of the Zigi Soho Duran Bootie from DSW. These heels invoke the cage-style of Zendaya’s heels while also incorporating additional shine to the neutral heel. For only $79.95, these booties are sure to take your look-alike ensemble to the next level without breaking the bank.

Polishing off our look for less is a pair of chandelier earrings, and the Rhinestone Petal Drop earrings from Forever 21 are the perfect way to frame your face and add some sparkle to your look. Featuring a similar two-part shape, these earrings will easily pass for Zendaya’s while only setting you back a mere $6.90.

Zendaya’s fresh-off-of-fashion-week look may cost upwards of $585, but if you love her outfit, our look-alike ensemble can be yours for only $149.55. Slick your hair back into a simple updo, and you’ll have taken Zendaya’s head-to-toe look for less.
