Steep vs Cheap: January Jones’s Golden Globe Versace dress

20th January 2011 3:00 pm

If you’re anything like us you’re still dreaming of all those fabulous designer dresses from this year’s 68th Golden Globes – but fear not, your dreams of becoming red carpet-ready could soon become reality with a little help from us.

Stealing the show in her floorlength Versace fringed gown was Mad Men actress January Jones. Not only sealing her title as belle of the ball, she’s left many women all aflutter over how to get her show-stopping look – but let’s face it, it’ll be several lifetimes before we can get our hands on that very same dress, so thank goodness for these Steep vs Cheap alternatives.

This Issa silk-chiffon gown starts off our statement style challenge, and with its glamorous after-dark appeal and almost identical cut out detailing to the Versace original, this crimson creation is an absolute wardrobe steal at £620.

But for a cheaper red carpet-worthy alternative we suggest this elegantly pleated maxi dress from ASOS – with its adorable sweetheart neckline and cinched-in waist, we think even Ms. Jones would be envious. And at only £18, this dress makes way for an unrivalled designer substitute.

So if you fancy stealing a slice of Mad Men style and dressing like a star, look no further – we have all your sartorial options sorted, however far your purse strings stretch.

Issa silk chiffon gown, £620, available at Net-a-Porter. BUY NOW!

ASOS Grecian bandeau maxi dress, £18, available at ASOS. BUY NOW!
