Amal Alamuddin’s weekend long
wedding celebration was done in style. The bride wore Stella McCartney,
Alexander McQueen, and Dolce & Gabbana. But it was her Oscar de la
Renta gown for the moment when she said “I do” that stood out amongst
the stunners (as a wedding dress should!). Because Alamuddin is smart
and beautiful — and got bachelor George Clooney to settle down — women
all over the world will want to copy her nuptial look. And luckily,
retailers are well aware of this desire.
Isabelle Armstrong’s dress will be available at at Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue stores Saturday
Just days after images of
the lace gown, which was hand-embroidered with pearls and diamante
stones emerged, New York-based designer Isabelle Armstrong released a “celebrity look for less.” The Andrea
gown is priced at $7,200 (likely a fraction of the price of
Alamuddin’s) features the same lace detail and off-the-shoulder cut as
Amal’s dress, only this one is set to retail for about $7,200 — a
fraction of what the bride likely paid for her custom look.
David’s Bridal, the
one-stop shop for bridal knock-offs, has many similar styles to choose
from. Off-the-shoulder necklines, full trains, fitted bodices and floral
lace are all details featured in Alamuddin’s gown and copied at a more
affordable price point. David’s Bridal even sells a similar
jumpsuit style to Mrs. Clooney’s Stella McCartney ensemble. Being like
Amal has never been easier — husband and law degree not included.
