Not everyone needs the excuse to attend a red carpet event to wear a red carpet dress, there are more available on the high street and online that ever before, with ladies opting to wear them as special occasion dresses, be it a birthday, anniversary or prestigious event.

When you think red carpet, many of us think Liz Hurley at the premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral wearing the imfamous black Versace dress with oversized pins holing it together…some of us think the Oscar’s…The Emmy’s…The National TV Awards…and many other events on the prestigious calendar of our favourite celebs. We watch in awe while the press divide them into the best and worst dressed sections of their gossip magazines.

We all love to see our favourite celebs in top named designer brands, but women are now looking to wear red carpet dresses for parties and events to bring the ‘wow’ factor into their wardrobe. The online shopping websites are now full of celeb-style replica dresses, with the Herve Leger dress being imitated by hundreds of fashion brands. Now you can wear the same dress Victoria Beckham wore to the Vogue awards for a fraction of the price, and wear the same dress Miley Cyrus wore on the front cover of Cosmopolitan by browsing the Forever Unique website.
