If you’ve a red carpet event coming up and were hoping to be inspired by this year’s Golden Globes gowns, you’ve come to the right place, for we at FAB have hit the highstreet in search of award-worthy wearables that’ll save you paying with your arm and leg.

Here’s our our pick of 5 screen siren steals which should get you nominated for Most Savvy Shopanista….

 

1. Stunned by this E! presenter’s nude, high-necked and embellished gown? Well perhaps you’d best get youself in touch with Basil Soda – the Lebonese couturier that originally walked Rancic’s gown down its Autumn/Winter 2010 catwalk. Never mind the fact it’s 2 years old, the dress is fresh and frankly gorgeous, with its less than simple asymetry and bejewelled contours, doing Guilliana’s fragile frame some fashionable  justice. Here’s a few options that’ll pay homage (through ruffles, colour, cut or embellishment) without you paying through your piggy bank’s nose…

2. Freida Pinto relied on a classic cut and unusual colour to wow onlookers this year – that is, ignoring her gold choker which came with its on bodyguard… Miss Pinto’s teal Prada strapless gown screams million dollar style, but here’s a couple of options even the slumdogs among us can afford…

3. Zooey Deschanel – one of young hollywood’s fashion risk-takers – has put together what I predict to be a ‘Marmite’ look, with her one of a kind Prada dress likely to be either loved or loathed by style critiques. What swings it for me is Zooey’s nod to the 60s, with her hair and makeup and white embellished collar, and her oh-so-cute tuxedo nails which she Tweeted before the show. Here’s how to do 60s afterdark from as little as 50 pounds, complete with daring pop of colour…

4. Yawn – Angelina Jolie looks unsurprisingly ravishing in her Versace floor length gown, as well as flawless and fabulous (as usual) though adding an almost riske red lip and clutch to match the flash of colour cast along her clavical. Probably a bit over-glam for our FAB fashionistas, this look can be stolen in a more youthful (and less expensive) way. Here’s how to do it like Jolie on a playful, undone shoestring…

5.  Mary J Blige looked every bit the diva in her glitzy floor length gown, complete with mermaid tail made of feathers. To steal this songstress’ look and ooze glamour to the same tempo, you’ve a choice: go for the shape or the texture – both might be a tad much, unless of course you’re event is as noteable as the Globes…
