It's not uncommon for us to swoon over celebs' red carpet looks, but more often than not, the dresses we love cost thousands of dollars (a.k.a more than our entire closet). So when we found out that "Vampire Diaries" star Nina Dobrev's look from the 2010 Scream Awards—a chic, long-sleeved, V-neck dress, which made the cut on our best-dressed list, was actually (gasp!) in our price-range, we were shocked!
Just Jared Jr. reports that Nina wore "Marisol in Black Eye" by the always-cool Rock & Republic to the event. Actual cost? $228.00 before shipping! Now, we know that a $228 dress isn't exactly cheap, but for a sleek look straight from the red carpet, it's pretty freaking awesome. Plus, this dress is totally multi-purpose. You could wear it to dinner, work, a crazy party, or of course, in Nina's case, a red carpet affair. To top it all off, since it's simply black, you can keep things interesting by pairing it with a variety of shoes and jewelery for a unique look each time.
So, there you have it. Skip a couple of trips to Forever 21 and you can glam it up just like Nina!
Would you buy this dress?
