Get Red Carpet Oscar looks for less

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa. - Feb. 28, 2013

Colette Menniti of David's Bridal explained, "Everybody wants to look like a star and here you can actually look like star for a less amount of money."

We asked the experts at David's Bridal to show us how regular women can get the stars' looks -- even they don't have a star's budget.

And it turns out, many of the red carpet trends are easily found in stores.

Menniti says, "It looks like a lot of the stars took their cues from wedding gowns. A lot of blushes, a lot of muted colors, just like wedding gowns."

Jennifer Lawrence's white mermaid gown is a perfect example. David's has a similar wedding dress for $1200.

And that simple front/fancy back look of Jennifer Garner's is also available in a wedding gown for $950 -- or if you liked the front and the color, you could choose this organza dress for $179.

If Kerry Washington's coral gown with the beaded bodice is more to your liking, how about this similar dress for $259?

Describing the gown, Menniti says, "This is one of our prom gowns, definitely resembles Kerry Washington, just beading at the top, a nice illusion top, and then simple at the bottom.

There's even a lookalike for Naomi Watt's one-shoulder silver gown. But the discount version is just $299.
