How to Find Celebrity Inspired Dresses

1. If money is no object, you can purchase any celebrity dress directly from the designer's boutique or website, or from major department stores like Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman. Luckily, most celebrities reveal their dress designers while walking the red carpet, in fashion and celebrity magazines, and in blogs, which will make finding the coveted dress that much easier.

2. The Internet is a great resource if you are searching for dresses worn by your favorite stars. A simple Google or Yahoo! search will bring up dozens of websites that specialize in recreating popular celebrity looks. Some of the websites also provide links to where a dress or outfit can be purchased. Browse as many websites as possible in order to increase your chances of finding the dress you want.

3. If a celebrity is wearing a vintage, haute couture or special order dress, you probably will not be able to find it online or in stores. However, you might be able to bid on the real deal at auctions like "Clothes Off Our Back", a charitable organization that auctions off authentic celebrity gowns, suits and other items. Not only will you own the dress of your dreams, but you will be benefiting countless children's charities as well. Some celebrities even auction off their own clothes on sites like eBay.

4. A final option for finding the celebrity inspired dress you want is to custom order it. An experienced seamstress or tailor will be able to recreate any design you may want provided that you supply them with the right fabric, and anything else they might need. This last step will take more time and effort, but if you really want to look like a superstar, it will be worth all the work.
