Ever look at a major red carpet (like the Oscars, or Monday’s Met Gala) and think to yourself, “Gee, I’d love to buy that!”?

Well, you’re usually out of luck, because the outfits are frequently custom-made and fitted just for the lucky star wearing the look.

But this Met Gala was all about bucking tradition, and it’s done just that by providing plenty of outlets to pick up a few of your own choice designer duds — provided you’ve got the cash, of course.

Jessica Biel’s Met Gala Nose Ring: Should She Leave It In?

When we first saw Jessica Biel‘s outfit for the Met Gala, our first thought was that she belonged on our list of “Stars Who Punked Out.”

After all, her macramé Giambattista Valli Couture outfit was awfully sweet for such a tough-girl theme (Punk: Chaos to Couture).

But a closer look revealed that she added one bold accessory that took her look from princess to pretty punk: her delicate septum nose ring, which was the focus of a face with very little makeup.

We find it hard to believe that the wife of a former member of *NSYNC would go for a permanent nose piercing — though this would be the first we’re learning of clip-in septum jewelry — but it’s still a pretty bold statement from the star.

Tell us: What do you think of Biel’s accessory? Should she leave it in?

Style Rx: Kourtney Kardashian’s Outfit Blends the ’70s, ’90s … and 1590s

Who: Kourtney Kardashian

Where: In Greece with her family

Diagnosis: Has anyone seen Kardashian near Doc Brown or a DeLorean lately? Because her outfit is doing some major time-traveling, from the fringed, crocheted, tiered ’70s pants to the Saved by the Bell-era tied-up top … to the Medieval princess-style pointed, jeweled circlet.

Prognosis: We actually love Kardashian’s “eclectic, effortless” style, but wearing fancy faux bangs on a boat is a little too much of the former and not enough the latter. We recommend keeping the cute tied chambray cover-up and pairing it with a relaxed striped mini (this one is less than $7!), then saving the pants and wacky topper for their respective decade costume parties.

Need proof that accessories make the outfit?

Then look no further than these three stars, who — in baubles ranging from $100 to $1 million — showed just how important picking the right jewelry can be.

Bella Thorne caught our eye at the Radio Disney Music Awards, wearing a whimsically pretty Kate Spade New York “Cameo Jewels” bib necklace, on sale for $99. It popped against her sweetheart-neckline dress but has major rewear potential.
