Faviana is perhaps most famous for it’s ability to copy-cat red carpet styles and recreate them for much less than the designer originals. After Sunday’s Oscars, their design team got busy and replicated the stars’ styles, unveiling them this morning on NBC’s The Today Show. View the video

Queen Latifah sparkled in a Badgley Mischka design. The lilac one-shoulder gown was recreated at a fraction of the cost…just $298 by Faviana.

A bold look on the red carpet, Maggie Gyllenhaal (above) captivated photogs in a Dries Van Noten hand-painted print. The gown was made just for Maggie. Van Noten also designed her wedding gown. Faviana has fashioned Gyllenhaal’s Oscar look for it’s own line for a mere $258.

All recreated styles will be available in four to six weeks at Faviana retailers worldwide.

Extra Tall beauties are best suited in ruched styles (left). The gathered material hugs the body, accentuating those legs! Long legs are also well-showcased in gowns with high-low hemlines (right). The short front to show ‘em off and the long length in the back to balance.

For Petites, Seventeen recommends a mermaid style gown (left); also known as a trumpet skirt. I must say, I have to disagree with this one. Short gals will likely be cutting off a good chunk of that mermaid-style skirt. What a waste of money!

Another option,  is the oh-so-popular bubble skirt (right). Typically found on a short gown, this style is perfect for petites! A short gown in general is usually a good pick for the vertically challenged (elongates those legs!) as long as the gown hits at least three inches above the knee. Anything longer just looks matronly.

Curvy Girls can bring attention to the bust and shoulders with a one-shoulder gown (left). One shoulder strapped and the other bare, draws the eye up and is simultaneously slimming!

Also keep a look out fora-line styles, particularly the empire waistline (right). A tight fitting bodice that flares just under the bust line helps to camouflage all those curves you don’t want recognized while accentuating those you do!

Pear-shaped like the majority of women in the United States? The new trend, grecian styles, work well for us! Jeweled necklines that are typically thick and form a choker around the neck are the hottest trend for both casual and formal wear. Lucky us!

Tiered skirts with layers of fabric are also a plus. Maybe it’s the optical illusion created by so much fabric, but this style is a hip minimizer and bust maximizer…turning your pear-shaped body into the coveted coke bottle instantaneously.

The stars played it safe. Perhaps they have wised up, and realized that seeing their faces splashed across magazine covers with cruel comments may not be the confidence booster they need. Nevertheless, it makes for a pretty ho-hum morning after. Mediocrity aside, there were a few that pushed the envelope.

Zoe Saldana’s snowcone-esque gown by Riccardo Tisci (Givenchy) is getting mixed reviews. The stunning, “Natalia” gown was plucked from his summer collection.  It is a strapless, chiffon, and shadow-dyed in various hues of purple. From a pale lilac bodice covered in crystals down to the bouffant hemline in a deep violet, this gown is being hailed as the best of the night by some, a red-carpet tragedy by others. Either way, you gotta hand it to her for courage. On a night when most stars blend into the background, the blue alien from “Avatar” shone bright.

Introducing a new eco-friendly line of bridesmaids gowns, bridal manufacturer Alfred Angelo jumps on the green bandwagon this Spring. They call it the new way of doing bridesmaids, with the clever tag line “Recycle, Reuse, Remaid!” The new line offers fashionable choices in comfy and eco-friendly fabrics like cotton and silk.

The new styles are also fashioned to be used again and again. So many times old bridesmaid dresses hang in the closet, never to be revisited again. But these gowns convert to simple Spring/Summer looks with ease. Offering over 25 color and print combinations, Purely Alfred Angelo is sure to fit into your wedding plans!

They’re here, at cbslimited.com! Sherri Hill has introduced a daring leopard fabric that is turning heads. Mixing the wild print with vibrant colors like fuchsia and red, puts a new spin on animal prints! The decorated dress designer has also used the fabric with black trim along sexy cut-outs. You can view the entire Sherri Hill collection here.

So apparently, every time we mention “Twilight,” our blog gets a bajillion hits.  In our meager attempt  to capitalize on the success of the Twilight movie, we proudly present to you Ashley Greene (of Twilight) in a Sherri Hill prom dress style number 2223.

The photo shoot here is for Savvy Magazine so be sure to pick up a copy and get all your prom fashion advice directly from Alice Cullen from Twilight.  Do fans of Twilight even wear pink prom dresses?  If you do, buy this one!  Oh and we should probably mention this dress is a whopping $650 and available for sale on our site right now.  Start saving ladies.

Oh yea and Twilight, Twilight, Twilight!!  Ahhhhh I can hear the website counter spinning now.

One-shoulder gowns that got the cold shoulder from fashion critics include Drew Barrymore, whose nude Atelier Versace dress got flack for the “bulge” at the right hip. It does, in fact, look like she is growing barnacles. Other one-shoulder looks we’d like to forget include Anna Kendrick in Marchesa and Sigourney Weaver in a not-so-flattering Herve L. Leroux.

Penelope Cruz definitely stole the red-carpet show in her off-the-shoulder Armani gown. The beautiful lace and tiered ruffle hem are only the icing on the curvacious Cruz cake.
