Red carpet look-a-likes for less, for maids!

Today's look-a-likes for less is a bridesmaids/"steal that red carpet style" version.

The Inspiration:
While all eyes are usually on the bride, every bride wants her maids to look and feel like movie stars too (at least I hope so!) What better way to feel like a movie star than to recreate an iconic red carpet look?
First up is Anne Hathaway's at the 80th Academy Awards:

A ruby red draped Marchesa gown with flowered asymmetrical one shoulder.

The Look-A-Likes:
David's Bridal prom selection actually has two contenders for the look-a-like.
The first successfully mimics the original's draping and dimensional flower shoulder but with a straighter "column" silhouette.
style 422959
The second is a looser interpretation, simpler but swingy-er.
style 10216

The Inspiration:
Our next star is Reese Witherspoon at the Academy Awards the year before Anne.

A custom designed Nina Ricci crepe gown with hand trimmed layers in gradations of purple.

The Look-A-Like:
This look-a-like also comes from the David's Bridal prom selection and successfully mimics the layered effect of the original.
style 5327

Hope you enjoyed this bridesmaids "red carpet" edition of look-a-likes for less!
