Dress by Number: Gabrielle Union's Kentucky Derby Style

The gorgeous Gabrielle Union wore a strapless bustier dress to the 135th Kentucky Derby—but I think this va-va-va-voom look would put you in the running for "best-dressed" at any formal affair this summer. (The dramatic wide-brim hat would definitely come in handy at a sunny outdoor wedding!) Here's how you can get all of the glamour of Gabrielle's look at a fraction of the cost.

[1] Fab Floppy Hat, $6.50 at Forever21.com
[2] "Vogue" Dress, $49 at Lulus.com
[3] Faceted Jewel Ring, $6.80 at Forever21.com
[4] Aqua VI Glamour Slingback, $42 at shop.akirachicago.com (Use code WELOVEBUDGETBABE for a 15% off discount on full price merchandise)
[5] bebe studded wallet, $29 (reminiscent of this Balenciaga wallet, no?)

I prefer the dress you found to Ms. Union's! The less shiny version is so much more appealing.

I love her outfit, but I think something in color would have been a bit more youthful and appropriate for the Kentucky Derby. The hat is so great!

I hear ya, all black is kinda drab for an event like that but the hat adds a little spice.

Wow, that dress is an exact replica of the one Gabby Union is wearing and only $49 bucks! Thats a good price!
