LIGHTS: 2012 Juno Awards Dress

LIGHTS arriving at the 41st Juno Awards in Ottawa Canada on April 1, 2012

LIGHTS wore the Sexy Cadet Navy Dress by Stop Staring on the red carpet at Sunday night’s Juno Awards. This dress is available at Unique Vintage, JBR Clothing, and eBay for around $150 to $190. LIGHTS has a strong military influence in her everyday style, so it’s cool to see her incorporate it into a very sophisticated and mature look.

She kept up the military theme for her performance of “Raise Your Weapon” with Deadmau5, where she sang in a double-breasted pea coat with military badges.

Our favorite creep Ash Costello just got some swag from the aptly-named brand Kreepsville 666. Their clothes and accessories feature all sorts of creepy anatomy like eyeballs, bones, brains, and hearts. Ash is wearing the Red Skeleton Tunic Dress, a fitted t-shirt dress with a red skeleton drawing. It’s available for $38.00 at Kreepsville (£30.00 in the UK), $40.00 at Dolls Kill, $50.00 at Sourpuss, and £29.99 at Rocky Horrors. Her Pretty Polly Suspender Tights are $25.00 at Dillards and other stores.

Taylor Momsen may wear ripped tees most days, but she proved that she can still look elegant when she wants to at Marchesa’s Fall 2012 fashion show. Taylor wore a blue lace Marchesa dress with a sheer chest and sleeves and a turtleneck collar. You can get Taylor’s look for less with the Lace Dress from Victoria’s Secret ($79.50), which comes in both black and blue.

Taylor Momsen: Sheer Cross Dress

I’ll be honest, I haven’t been as much of a fan of Taylor Momsen’s style since she ventured into gothic stripper territory. I loved her looks in 2008 and 2009 when she had just a little bit of rocker edge. But Taylor cleaned herself up for fashion week and I have to say that I love this dress on her! It’s still goth but it’s not lingerie or fetish wear — it’s actual clothes from a “normal” store. Sure it is meant to be a tank and she’s wearing it as a dress, but it’s long enough that I can’t even fault her for that. You can get Taylor’s Cross Front Longline Cami from Topshop for $44.00 or £22.00.

Cher Lloyd dress hoodie loafers tights

One of the things that I love about Cher Lloyd’s fashion sense is how she’s able to fuse together so many different styles — not many girls would wear loafers and a hoodie in the same outfit! While her look in the X-Factor days was much more street, she’s been able to mature and dress up her style while still mixing in elements of her casual fashion.

Cher’s dress is the Motel Maybelle Bodycon Dress in Black and White New Check, available for £38.00 at Topshop or Motel Rocks. This dress has a playful print with a retro, 60s-inspired shape and contrasting black collar. Her Topshop Lurex Zip Hoody (£30.00) has metallic fibers for a silver glittery look.

Though I’m not sure where Cher got her tights or shoes, I’ve found similar items. These Dark Beige Chain Loafers from River Island (£30.00) are a bit lighter in color than Cher’s burgundy pair but have the same thin-soled silhouette and gold chain detail. Copy her sheer polka dot hosiery with John Lewis’ Spot Tights (£8.00).

Katy Perry: Studded Shift Dress

Back in December, Katy Perry appeared on the red carpet in an off-white leather dress with a design made of gold studs in varying shapes and sizes. Her exact Geometric-Studded Leather Dress from the Versace Spring 2012 runway collection is available at Neiman Marcus for $7,925.

Fortunately there’s a much cheaper option: for $70.00, roughly one percent of the cost of Katy’s dress, you can get the Studded Shift Dress from Goddiva. Pair it with Michael Antonio “LoveMe” Metallic pumps for $39.99 to complete the Katy Perry look on a budget.
