If you watched the Oscars last night you probably spent the majority of the night ogling the outfits to see which celebrity looked the best. Oh and yeah, who won for best whatever. Red made a surprising appearance this year, with actresses Katharine Heigl, Heidi Klum, Miley Cyrus, Anne Hathaway, and Helen Mirren decked out in shades from scarlet to tomato.

I for one was a HUGE fan of Jessica Alba’s eggplant-colored Marchesa maternity gown and Keri Russell’s classic Nina Ricci gown (I’ve been a devoted Keri Russell fan ever since her Felicity days.) And after thinking about it, I was even a fan of Tilda Swinton’s avant-garde washed silk Lanvin gown and stark red hair/pale face look — at least it’s something different, right?

But what about the rest of us? You know, those that can’t afford to drop $20,000 on a custom designer dress? Oh holiest of fashion designers, why hast thou forsaken us?

Guess what? You can. Check out some of the designer styles below to get your own Oscar look…for less.
