Chrissy Teigen Shines in a Satin Duster for Date Night

Chrissy Teigen steps out in a burgundy satin duster, ripped jeans and clear strap heels.
Chrissy Teigen is giving us major outfit envy in her burgundy satin duster, distressed jeans and clear-strap heels.

And let's not forget her gorgeous Celine bag in a matching deep red hue, must-have Gucci belt and oversized aviator sunglasses.

She's hitting all the right fashion notes, and we're pretending we're an ounce as cool as the supermodel with these look for less finds, all under $50 - except for the translucent heels by Steve Madden, which cost a bit more but are worth it. You don't want to skimp on a clear plastic shoe since this trend can easily go horribly wrong if you're not careful with your edit.

Summer Date Night Outfit Idea

Eva Longoria wore a coral blouse with white pants for a dinner date with husband Jose Baston in Madrid.

She accessorized with the cutest strappy black heels and a black clutch (not visible from this angle).

I added some on-trend tassel drop earrings to give this look a little something extra and make it more fashion-blogger-esque.

Chrissy Teigen shows us how to do the the pajama trend right with a half-tucked silk shirt and distressed skinny jeans.

The supermodel opted for her Frame pinstripe silk pajama shirt ($275) in neutral white, but you could just as easily go bold with this printed satin pajama-style shirt by J.Crew, now an extra 30% off the sale price with code BIGSALE.

Just finish the look with bottoms that are obviously not meant for the boudoir and heels to elevate the look. Shop my under-$100 picks below...

Prepped and Ready: Kate Bosworth's Polished Look for Less

Kate Bosworth wears a white ruffle shirt with black jeans and black Mary Jane flats.
When I think of spring fashion, I always envision delicate lace, ruffles and pastel shades. Here, Kate Bosworth adds a touch of edge to the ultra-feminine aesthetic by pairing an eyelet-detailed white button up with tight black denim, patent leather double-strapped mary jane flats, blocky sunglasses, drop earrings and a patch-emblazoned leather satchel.

I'm a huge fan of dark hues (especially black) so seeing this eased transition into April ensemble is perfect for me. Plus, the personalized trend has been literally everywhere this year — I've been lusting after Kate Spade's new line of stickers, straps and charms for customizing my bags, but this Mix No. 6 satchel I stumbled upon has the exact aesthetic, and rings up at only $29.94! Read on for all my look-for-less picks under $100...

Kiernan Shipka's Bell Sleeve Blouse and Jeans Look for Less

Kiernan Shipka's bell sleeve blouse and jeans look for less
Statement sleeves are everything for spring, and Kiernan Shipka shows us exactly how to wear the bell sleeve trend while attending a Chanel event (presumably dressed in Chanel, too).

The formula for fashion trendsetters is to pair a bold sleeve with simple jeans and understated heels for a look that's feminine and fresh.

Kiernan Shipka's bell sleeve blouse and jeans look for less

For my budget take, I picked a blouse from Chicwish - I see their tops all over Instagram and Pinterest. Each one is more unique and dramatic than the next!

Then I added these sandals from Who What Wear - it's a lower, more wearable heel. You might even call this style granny-chic but I think it looks high-end and balances the girly-ness of the top especially well.
