America’s Sweetheart, also known as Taylor Swift, isn’t just a talented musician. She’s also proved herself to be an incredible style icon! Her classic, age appropriate style shines at every single event she attends, and often graces the ‘Best Dressed List’ in almost every fashion magazine you pick up.Here, we are going to take three of Taylor’s most iconic outfits and show you how you can achieve the same look – for thousands of dollars less!

This look is from last night’s awards show, the AMC Awards 2010. Taylor is shown in a beautiful gold gown, showing that glamour and shine is always in style! Like her look? Check out our similar style, Studio 17 12181! This look has a similar silhouette, floating skirt, and beautiful shimmery metallics that highlight your skin and face. A classic look and perfect on all body types, you’ll be sure to channel this fashionista in our Studio 17 dress!

As we’ve mentioned before, Red is going to be the hottest color this season, and One Shouldered styles will be following right behind! Taylor Swift shows us both of these styles in one gorgeous dress. Similar to what Swift is wearing, our Panoply 14365 is going to be the hottest dress of the prom and formal season. The one shouldered style, constructed of gorgeous fabric flowers, grows over the shoulder and down through the bust. This dress has a slightly fuller skirt than Taylor’s look, which makes it perfect for Military Balls as well!

Every girl needs a perfect black dress in her closet. This Panoply 14303 is stunningly similar to Taylor Swifts Grammy Awards Dress, and perfect for a number of occasions! From Prom to Homecoming, Galas to Balls, this dress will always be in style. A daring plunge neck is super sexy, and layers of soft fabric that sweep the floor and work as a small train in the back are also incredibly stunning. Low backs and thin straps top these styles off, and you can see why Panoply 14303 is a great alternative to the designer stylings of Miss Swift!

Madeline Gardner, the long time designer for Mori Lee, believes one thing is always true: Every girl is a princess, and therefore should always look like one when dressing for your formal occasion. With her Prom Collection, she has truly taken these ideals to heart and designed an incredible line that is sure to bring out your inner Cinderella! The three dresses below are fantastically beautiful, and as always, brought to you by Dress Therapy.

8460: (Available in the colors shown above: Mediterranean, Berry, and Olive.) This number is classic storybook princess! The strapless corset is meticulously adorned with embroidery, sequins, and crystals. The sweetheart neckline is especially flattering, and the incredible corset lace-up back holds everything securely in place. From the V-shaped waist comes a flowing, tulle skirt, dusted perfectly with crystals.

8422: (Available in the colors shown to the left: White, Sunshine, and Flame.) This dress is a slightly updated version of your classic ballgown. The corset top still has a beautiful sweetheart neckline and back lace-up, but has halter straps that tie around the neck for a vintage styling that contrasts magically with the luxurious crystal embroidery that lines the bodice. The tulle layered skirt flows out at the waist, and is slightly less full than some of the other stylings by Mori Lee.

8443: (Available in the colors shown to the right: Raspberry and Navy) This styling is a fresh new twist on your regular ol’ Cinderella! The classic silhouette is there – a fitted top with a full skirt, but Mori Lee has done something different this time. Instead of the tulle overlay, this skirt has a beautiful taffeta fabric that has pick-ups lined all over it, creating the fun look you see here. The top is classically adorned with bunches of sequins and crystals, and the tank straps pull the entire look together. Be a flawless beauty with this updated version on the ball gown!

Studio 17, a collection from the House of Wu, has an amazing variety of prom and formal dresses. From sleek and sexy looks to full ballgowns, they will have something that brings out the princess in you. One of their popular looks is the full skirt ballgown. This style is perfect for proms, military balls, or even quincenera parties!

12173: This beautiful look is perfect for the girl who wants to have fun! Shown in Turquoise and also available in Emerald and Fuchsia, this classic yet trendy style will be sure to show off your lovely figure. A strapless cut frames the tight bodice, which sparkles and shines in the light. A full skirt of layered tulle and satin releases from the hips and gracefully sweeps the floor.

12178: What a treat! This candy colored confection, available in Royal, Orange, and Lime, is just elegance personified. A one-shoulder styling in the front releases into two thin straps in the back, securing your bust in two different places for maximum comfort. Also perfect for the busty girl, its got a corset back that laces up and shows a little skin while at the same time allowing you to dance the night away in comfort and style. Beautiful crystals adorn this dress, sprinkling over the bust and skirt like a fresh summer rain. Amazing!
