Oscars Label Lust vs High Street Copies

The Oscars are more about who is wearing what than who is winning what. Every year the world's biggest stars in the industry show up in show-stopping suits and gowns reminding everyone how deliciously rich and beautiful they are.

 

From funny lass Leslie Mann to the stunningly petite Salma Hayek, my top 9 ladies put everyone else to shame whilst celebrating last night's awards bash:

 

 

 

Anne Hathaway - Performin' Les Mis in Prada

Leslie Mann - Attendin' the Vanity Fair 'do in a stunning orange Andrew Gn gown

Diane Kruger - Rockin' a Giambattista Valli cape-back dress (which she teamed with Laboutins)

Naomi Watts - Sparklin' in head-to-toe Emilio Pucci sequins

Natalie Portman - Takin' things very seriously in her Dior gown

Emily Mortimer - Showin' off her enviable figure in a fitted midnight blue dress

Britney Spears - Pullin' out all the stops with a floor length sequinned number and a new brunette 'cut

Reese Witherspoon - Pullin' in her tiny waist in a Louis Vuitton gown chosen by her daughter

Salma Hayek - Winnin' hands down the award for most delicious lady in her Alexander McQueen halter neck dress

There's no need for us to be jealous, though! I've searched the inter-webs for wearable, high-street versions of these ceremony stunners, and seeing as most of us aren't being invited to such prestigious events such as the Oscars, I've decided to shop for visits to our local boozers, clubs and house parties!

 

 

 

 

1) Get Anne's tiered ruffle look with the Tula Dress at Monsoon (£89) - It comes in Cobalt Blue, Nude & Green

2) Structured-shoulder dresses are hard to come by! This gorgeous little red number is £27 from Missguided

3) Get your cape on this season! It's much easier for us to wear a cape as outerwear because we are not Diane Kruger. I chose this W-toky Jacket by Diesel at House of Fraser - £125

4) One shoulder sequins as seen on Naomi Watts... and online at Boohoo.com for £20! BARGAIN!!!

5) It's not quite Dior but it is floor-length monochrome - this Paprika Maxi Dress is £32 from ASOS

6) Hybrid Fashion have a huge range of dresses with every neckline and colour you could possibly need for a chic entrance like Emily's at the Vanity Fair Oscars After Party

7) It's quite hard to party in a dress as long as Britney's - so I'd go for the French Connection Midnight Sequin Dress so you have room to throw some shapes!

8) Nothing says 'HERE I AM!' than a royal blue, structured, strapless panel dress! The one at Chiara Fashion is only £20

9) This Paprika Bodycon Dress at Very is as close as we are going to get to becoming as perfect as Ms. Hayek herself. At £36, you can't go wrong trying, can you!?

January's Lust List

For most people it is the week before payday...for me it is the fortnight before payday. Either way I'm usually skint by now (I have a habit of leaving too much month at the end of my money) and have a long list of items that I'm lusting after! Every month I will share my 'Lust List'.

Being skint genuinely sucks. Especially so when essential household appliances blow up. Just like my microwave did yesterday. I can assure you, warming soup up on the hob is not only tedious, it is also extremely dangerous...I would show you my burn mark but it seems it is so small the camera lens can't focus on it...ANYWAY my first Lust Item is a state-of-the-art, big-shazam microwave!

Ok, so it's NOT state-of-the-art or the big shazam at all. But it is pink. And works! So it is my number 5 Lust Item of January! ( Available at Pink Princess for £70 )

Next on the list are new wellies! All his ice and all of this snow have done one thing for me - made me realise that my wellies are old, uncomfortable and are now a weird shade of faded pink. All-in-all they are gross and I need a new pair like these:

Dolce & Gabbana Leopard Print Wellies... They are just the dream aren't they?! ( Available at Far Fetch for £137.67 )

Number 3 on January's Lust List is actually a collection. A sunny little collection of bits I want and quite possibly NEED in my life to remind me of my Caribbean holiday...in Spetember (it's devastating everytime I remind myself how far away it is!) This collection comprises of handmade jewellery and swim items that have ridiculous price tags:

The triple strand parrot necklace is available at DanFrank Jewellery for £15 (barg!), the bikini, towel and case are from Agent Provocateur (£245, £135 and £895).

Number 2 is to satisfy my Kardashian Kraving. Khloe & Kim both announced via social networking yesterday that new Kardashian Kollection items were being launched in Dotty P's at the end of Feb (watch out for every item to be on next month's Lust List!) but it was Kourtney's revelation that got me excited..."Kardashian Khaos kandles!" - @KourtneyKardash

'How Expensive can candles be?' you may think...well let me tell you they are $40 EACH! Plus if you're outside of the US expect to pay huge shipping fees too! ( Available at Kardashian Khaos )

Last but not least on January's Lust List, I've gone extremely doo-lally for Dave...and wish to get my hands on everything Mr Attenborough has ever released (please note this is NOT a euphanism). The only man of his age who can keep me entertained AND learning is a marvel in himself. After watching his Africa & Galapagos series on series link this month and being blown away by the footage.. I want more! See David Attenborough on Amazon to buy his work.

What's in your Lust List this month?
