News: The Parties Are Over, But The Celeb Dresses Are Still Up–For Auction

Oprah’s auctioning off her clothes and shoes on Ebay, and now other celebs are selling off their dresses for charity in the UK starting March 16. Even if you’re not going to bid, it’s worth taking a look–plus, we found similar dresses you can get right now, without the celebrity sweat. (Unless you’re into that kind of stuff.)

Frida Pinto’s Burberry knot dress, worn just last week at London Fashion Week is up for auction. While we’re loving the details, we don’t think we could swing the price.

In the meantime,  get the same look with this Robert Rodriguez knot dress ($385) that doesn’t require extensive dry cleaning.

We remember when Scarlett Johansson wore this leopard print dress to a red carpet event, but apparently she has another similar dress in her closet she’d like to auction off–a Nanette Lepore leopard shift.

Try this Elie Tahari leopard print dress instead ($232, down from $402) -it captures the exotic print trend without getting too wild.

Naomi designed the dress, at right, for her own collection, 284, awhile back, so we’re not sure if she ever wore it, but you have to admit the fringe detailing is fun.  See our cheaper pick below.

We can’t get over the beauty (and price) of this Antik Batik ombre fringe dress. For $115.50 (down from $330), this one is a major steal.

Sometimes all that matters is finding the best party dress for the occasion. If you’re looking for a discount, we’ve got all of this week’s online sample sales and tons of great sales and deals. Get briefed on the latest style news, too.
