I noticed a certain trend on the red carpet lately. Celebrities like Jordin Sparks, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton are more and more stepping away from their usual, steep high fashion items in favor of more budget-friendly, accessible high street stuff. Case in point: Bebe.

Jordin has been spotted wearing Bebe several times already, but seeing her in a $139 satin dress at such an important red carpet outing as the Teen Choice Awards was quite a surprise. The same can be applied to LiLo and Paris who wore a Balmain inspired sequin mini dress to a Maxim event a few days ago.

The question resulting from this is: are celebrities finally affected by the economical crisis just as the rest of us or could it be that Bebe is quite the secret fashion tip among celebs nowadays? Up to you to decide.

Go Shopping:

• Jordin Sparks: Bebe Glamour Satin Bustier Dress, $139
• Lindsay Lohan: Bebe Vixen Caged Leather Boot, $159
• Paris Hilton: Bebe Sequin Striped Asymmetric Dress, $179

February 14, 2008 – 39th Annual NAACP Image Awards 2008, Los Angeles

America Ferrera

Ugly Betty star America Ferrera was stunning wearing not Monique Lhuillier for once. The teal one-shouldered chiffon dress she sported at the event was from the Marchesa Spring 2008 collection. She teamed her dressed with a pair of gorgeous gold sandals.

America was by far the best dressed at this event. She’s such a beauty.

Eva Pigford

Eva Pigford opted for sexy wearing a backless silver sequin dress with dramatic hair.

Jordin Sparks

Jordin Sparks was looking OK in this chocolate brown strapless floor-length dress. Boring, but very flattering for Jordin’s womanly curves.

Kate Walsh

Kate Walsh was making an extraordinary elegant appearance at this year’s NAACP Image Awards wearing an embellished one-shouldered floor-length dress. Classy!

Meagan Good

Meagan Good attended the event wearing a body-hugging bandage dress from the infamous fashion house Hervé Léger. She teamed her dress with a pair of silver strappy sandals and a red rose in her hand.

It might be Hervé Léger, but I’m just not loving this on Meagan. She should’ve put on some Spanx in order to pull off such a revealing dress. Plus, this big gap between her boobs is everything but a pleasure to look at. Did she really think this is sexy?

The only thing I like about Meagan here, is her hair. Oh, and her shoes, too.

Robin Givens

What I love on Robin Givens here, is her amazing white strapless tulle dress with the lovely embellishments on the hemline.

What I hate is Robin’s make-up, the hair and the faces she makes when posing for the camera. Weird.

If it was not for the make-up & hair, America Ferrera definitely would’ve had to share the crown as best dressed with Robin.

Rating:

Vanessa Williams

For a 44-year-old, singer-turned-actress Vanessa Williams still cleans up very nice. She attended the 39th Annual NAACP Image Awards in a beautiful ivory floor-length gown by Zuhair Murad. The downside of this dress is that it has only one strap, which is the only thing I don’t like about it.
