Jessica Simpson has an enviable shoe wardrobe packed with every hot designer label — maybe that’s why her namesake shoe line has some of the best knockoffs around! The fancy footwear line includes many styles comparable to high-end designer versions (think Christian Louboutin and Chloe) for a mere fraction of the cost. Check out these sexy leather Cam wedges (quite similar to last season’s Chloe) for only $79, hundreds less than the designer version, available at Nordstrom.com. The Abba pump, $90, is a great faux version of a similar $710 pair created by Christian Louboutin. Yes, we all long to be wearing the real thing like Ms. Simpson herself, but for most of us, this is a trendy (and realistic!) alternative.

Not that Jamie-Lynn Sigler’s hair, makeup and Calvin Klein dress weren’t lovely, but we couldn’t stop staring at her eye-popping diamond ring as she strolled down the SAG’s red carpet. Made by Kwiat, the one-of-a-kind cocktail ring was all diamonds and 18k gold, except for the rare bright orange sapphire center stone — if it didn’t cost over $50,000, we’d snap it up! Since we’re a few dollars short of that, we found some great look-alikes for under $100.

Get a go-with-anything piece with this sterling silver ring from Target, $51, or this gold and silver style from My Jewelry Box, $89.

Add a pop of color with this green aventurine ring from Banana Republic, $48, or this pink sparkler from Girlprops, $15.

Can’t miss with classic black and white in this Kenneth Jay Lane pearl-centered style from Max & Chloe, $85, or this bling-ed out bud from Pugster on Amazon.com, $30.

Is this another case of Sienna Miller forgetting her pants, or is she stepping up to a major spring trend again? Uh, maybe it’s a little bit of both. After donning a vintage beaded dress for the NYC premiere of her new movie Factory Girl, the actress changed into a sweater and bloomers combo complete with opaque black tights and ankle boots. Now before we start wondering how many times she’s been watching Flashdance lately, bloomers and boyshorts ruled some of the hottest runways for spring — including Chanel and Prada — and will be all over fashion magazines in the next few months. But does that make it ok for a night of going out? Tell us: What do you think of Sienna’s outfit? Would you ever wear bloomers out?

It may not roll off the tongue like Creme de la Mer, but I was introduced to Dermacia foundation last week under the most dire skincare conditions at Sundance, and I can’t stop raving it. The foundation allows oxygen to reach your pores and prevents your skin from over-producing oil, but it feels like I have no makeup on whatsoever. Two people actually told me I have beautiful skin today! After years of carrying around camaflouge sticks and oil blotters, I think I have finally found the perfect foundation for my combination skin. We hear that Teri Hatcher and Rachel Hunter are fans too — you can snag it on the line’s website, for $48 a bottle. — Lisa Ingrassia

Forget her short dress! How Heather Graham even managed to walk the length of the SAG red carpet in her sky-high Versace heels is still a mystery to us (maybe she took flats or slipped them off under the table?). The Bobby actress even joked about them in the pre-show, calling the super-high platforms “stripper shoes.” Hmm. Perhaps it’s okay to go over the top to an awards show, but we can’t imagine wearing them out for just a regular night on the town. Tell us: What do you think of these platform heels? Will you be wearing them?

If you love ‘em, we’ve rounded up a few styles that are pretty similar to Heather’s.

Marc by Marc Jacobs square buckle and T-strap satin lightweight platform sole, $345, nordstrom.com
