Is Hollywood on a budget? These superstars prove that no matter how big your bank account is, a cool bargain brand’s designer collaboration can be just as awesome as the higher-priced variety. These celebs took the affordable route, even on the red carpet, and totally killed it.

Blake Lively in Jason Wu for Target
Even outerwear doesn't need to break the bank. Blake Lively looks every bit the superstar in this fitted trench from Jason Wu for Target. Floral piping and a flared fit elevate the look to designer levels without elevating the price point.Getty Images
Cara Delevingne in Kate Moss x TopShop
From one supermodel to another, Kate Moss certainly knows how to dress 'em. Cara looks stunning and sexy here, and didn't need to blow her bank account at Holt Renfrew to get there. The collaboration between a chic bargain label and supermodel is as perfectly polished, and uniquely edgy as we expected.Getty Images
Elizabeth Olsen in Prabal Gurung for Target
Thank goodness the little sis of Mary-Kate and Ashley didn't take a page out of their overly boho style book. The young starlet looks chic and classic, without a zillion dollar alligator backpack in sight.Getty Images
Emmy Rossum, Sophia Bush and Amber Valletta
These three ladies look like they're ready to attend an event as exclusive as a royal wedding, the Met Gala, or an Oscars celebration. All of their duds are from the latest H&M Conscious Collection and it goes to show you don't need to be a millionaire to look like one.Courtesy of H&M
Jamie Chung in Banana Republic x Marimekko
Jamie Chung is adorable (without being too cutesy) in this head-to-toe polka dot outfit from the Banana Republic x Marimekko collection. You could wear it to work, or out to that uber fancy dinner you can actually afford now because you saved so much cash on your outfit.Courtesy of Banana Republic
January Jones in TopShop
Always the stunner, January Jones is, as expected, an absolute showstopper in this striped number by TopShop. With an outfit from your friendly neighbourhood TopShop store, you can splurge a little on your accessories.Getty Images
Jennifer Lopez in ASOS
Jennifer Lopez pulls off an ASOS skater dress like it's nobody's business, and while it's a little bit figure skater-esque, we think that kind of drama and flair is perfectly fitting for Judge Jen. With the star's emotional antics on American Idol, we can only imagine the kind of flair her on-ice performance might have.Getty Images
Jessica Alba in 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target
Hopefully the sweater trend will continue next year because as Jessica Alba shows us here, a cheap and chic sweater like this quirky printed number from 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target can make the outfit when paired with simple jeans, a bag and heels.Getty Images
Kate Bosworth in Alexander Wang x H&M
Kate Bosworth rocks the requisite fringe and crochet at a Coachella party for Alexander Wang x H&M. If ever there were a place for this collection, it was at Coachella. Nice work Bos! Getty Images
Kate Hudson in Ann Taylor

Kate Mara in H&M Conscious Collection
Have a big event coming up? Look to Kate Mara for inspiration on a budget. The star's top looks expensive (structured shoulders, daring prints and detailed textures will tend to do that) but just because it looks expensive doesn't mean it can't be sustainable and affordable. Because it is.Courtesy of H&M
Kelly Osbourne in Aldo Shoes
Getty ImagesLeave your Manolos at home for a look that's red-carpet ready. If Aldo shoes are good enough for Kelly, they're good enough for us. (And where else are you going to get that kind of shoe variety on a budget?)
Kendall Jenner at the Met Gala
Pick your jaw up off the floor people. Kendall Jenner killed it in TopShop at this year's Met Gala. The up-and-coming model, and Kardashian-clan little sis is almost never on my best-dressed list, but this gown made her the belle of the ball. The gown looks like it could have cost a fortune but totally didn't.Getty Images
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Isabel Marant pour H&M
Sporting a head-to-toe look from the Isabel Marant pour H&M collection, this Victoria's Secret model looks every bit the off-duty model/street-style star. Fringed booties, drawstring sweats, and a matching pull-over are perfect errand running attire, leaving cash in your pocket to splurge on some fun buys at the market.Courtesy of H&M
Selena Gomez in Forever21
This young starlet rocks it in a one-shoulder, cut-out minidress that makes her look drop-dead-gorgeous on the red carpet. The best part is, unlike most red carpet styles, this cute dress is from Forever 21, so it's not so out of reach for the average 21 year old.Getty Images
Shay Mitchell in Ann Taylor
When life calls for a red carpet dress, sometimes the Ann Taylor shop around the corner will have your pick. A bit of frill around the shoulders on Shay Mitchell's chic sheath looks classy, simple and elegant.Getty Images
Taylor Schilling in Peter Pilotto x Target
Thanks again to designer collaborations with affordable brands that let us rock the designer look without skipping, you know, food and shelter for a month. Taylor Schilling here proves that shopping for cool prints at Target is really the new black.Getty Images
