Look For Less: 2012 CFDA Awards

Let’s be honest, the highlight of any good awards show isn't who wins or loses, it's watching celebs roll down that red carpet! Monday Night, the Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center played host to the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) Fashion Awards, which celebrated its 50th anniversary this year. The grandiose evening was packed full of fashion favorites, as designers and celebrities alike mixed and mingled.

Check out a few of my favorite looks from the night below and the posh + pennywise version to help you get the look for less!

Julianne Hough in Kaufman Franco: As a proud member of the big boobie club, I love a good halter! Halters are great for women who have a larger bust line because they give a little extra support but still ooze sex appeal like the deep set V of Julianne's dress...but be careful ladies, if your dress is cut too low you might want to invest in double-sided tape. Lets face it, nobody likes a nip slip. Just ask Tara Reid..

 Busy Phillips in Maison Martin: I love how Busy's Maison Martin romper hits her curves in all that right places, making it incredibly figure flattering. Because rompers often tend to be on the blousy side, make sure you look for tailored pieces with sleek lines If your body type is more bottom heavy (pear shaped) to avoid adding "weight."  Freaking out over her fringe? If you're not the DIY type then try a long necklace like the one from Forever 21 to recreate the look.

Heather Graham in Nicole Miller: Dresses with a raised hem are a huge hit for summer and a great way to show off all that hard work from the gym. I love how the hint of ruffles give off a playful yet etheral feel.
