It’s easy to look like a star these days. Just a little right hair and make-up here, and the right outfit there. Before your know it, you a sporting a look that could be as good as any star out there today! So I am always on the lookout for that fashionable celebrity look for less! Yes it does not have to be expensive or exactly the same. As long as it shows a similar trend and technique, that is what counts! Now I chose Anne Hathaway looking quite dapper at her red carpet event. She was dressed to impress in this very cute gold Marchesa dress, where she made an appearance at the Shakespeare in the Park’s ‘Twelfth Night’ Premiere in New York City.
Now here is how I recreated that style!

10p42ulem_large1

Top Shop’s Scallop Skirt Dress in lemon has that same feel and design just like Anne’s dress. And for $135.00, it is a far less cry for a girl on the cheap!

Go for the gold strappy sandal when you want to repeat that look or style like Anne’s. Here is a great gold high heel from Top Shop’s shoe collection. For $145 it is a real steal!
