From subtle cut out waist triangles to plunged neckline swirls and leg flashing slashes - the cut out dress is in and celebrities everywhere are enjoying the benefit of being revealing with elegance.  Having recently come across my new favourite celebrity fashion shop, Goddiva, I wanted to reveal some affordable and more flattering bodycon alternatives to the top celebrity cut out dress looks at the moment.

Jennifer Lopez and Selena Gomez Bodycon Cut Out Dress

Selena Gomez is in the lead for showing cleavage in her long white cut out cocktail dress.  Shown below alongside some affordable bodycon alternatives.  The great thing about these bodycon cocktail dresses is that you get the cut out look without the risk of your bits flying out!  We can't all work the tit tape for a whole evening, especially dancing at our Christmas or New Year's Eve party.

Halle Berry and Kelly Rowland Cut Out Maxi Dress

These mermaid look mesh insert maxi evening dresses are an excellent way to accentuate your curves and the thin cut out curves help to reveal your best bits.  My alternatives from designer Luxe (top right) are a great style for anyone that is a little shy of any scars or marks on their tummy area.  You get to exude confidence without exposing your wobbly bits.  They also come in a range of colours so I thought I would add a touch of gold for anyone planning their Christmas party dress.

More Celebrities Embracing The Cut Out Dress

These ladies have worked this look to the max by opting for the waist triangle cut out dress.  Celebrities are popping up everywhere with this look whether it be on reality shows like Made In Chelsea and Towie or glamorous lovely's like Cheryl Cole and Keisha (pictured).

What Are You Waiting For?
Time to get your own cut out dress.  Here are a selection of cut out evening dresses and Christmas party dresses that could get you one step closer to matching your favourite celebrity look.  The best bit is that they come in a variety of colours, which means you can be a lady in red or saucy vixen in black.  The choice really is yours...

There are so many celebrity inspired party dresses out there, I hope you find the one you are looking for.

I was recently introduced to the online retail store Aupie, based in China Aupie prides itself on offering the lastest street fashion worldwide.  They have a vast range of clothing including dresses, jeans, skirts, jumpers and coats along with footwear, accessories and jewellery.  Seeing as it is winter now here in England and the days seem to be getting colder and colder, I found myself automatically drawn to their great selection of knitwear and coats.  They have such a lovely selection at very affordable prices, I especially love the fluffy batwing cardigan, and with free delivery worldwide there are no hidden costs.  Aupie is definitely worth checking out if you're looking for affordable on-trend fashion.
 

 Jumper - Matalan

Skirt - Primark

Boots - Office

Yes, the title of this post may be from a kid's film but who doesn't love Despicable Me?!  But this is the first sentence that came to mind when I felt this jumper.  Plus it was in the kids section of Matalan, so it was obviously appealing to the big kid inside of me.  I always tend to have a little look in the kids section now as it is a lot more fashion forward than when I was a kid and their age 16 clothes easily fit a size 8-10.  I also tend to find that the kids sections in places like Matalan, New Look and River Island have replicas of items from the adult section but with a slightly lower price tag, so it is worth a look if you are on the petite side.  This jumper was a bargain £14, and I just love it!  What can I say, I'm a sucker for a monochrome print.  It's also so fluffy and super soft, and surprisingly enough seems to remain so after two washes.  I always worry that when I wash jumpers and cardigans like this that they will loose their oomph, which tends to be the case more often than not with soft fluffy knits like this.  This one seems to be holding up well though and I can see myself keeping cosy in this a lot over the winter months.
