Oscar 2008: Red Carpet Looks on the Cheap!!

Twas only last week we were watching the 2008 Oscars unfold in front of us awarding top honors to No Country For Old Men and some other Europeans as well as listening to Jon Stewart rant away from his DAILY SHOW on a Sunday evening in Los Angeles.........

Those of us watching the red carpet arrivals were in awe of the Dior, de la Renta and Valentino combinations oh my, as they made their way into the Kodak Theater.

Luckily as the layman, we can dress like our favorite celebs thanks to dress company Faviana, recreating the best looks from Oscar night on a budget that we can all afford.

KATHERINE HEIGL

Katherine Heigl

Looking fabulous in Escada, this knockoff captures all the ‘Lady In Red' anyone can need for any occasion at a mere fraction of the cost, $328.

For those of us without a personal stylist, we can still look glam without an A-lister paycheck. Go to www.faviana.com to find the closest location to get your favorite star style that will still allow you enough for dinner at Spago after Wolfgang is finished serving up the Governor's Ball.
