With designers such as Givenchy and Stella McCartney creating gorgeous peplum style dresses, it's easy to see why your favorite celebrities have been spotted hitting the town in this ultra-chic design.  Dianna Agron, Kim Kardashian, Kate Middleton, Olivia Wilde and Victoria Beckham are just some of the gorgeous ladies that have been seen rocking the hottest peplum frocks.

With the fall season approaching, this is definitely a style that many women can wear. Looking like a lady is fun again -- consider this attractive look "dress-up for adults." Think polished, sophisticated and lady-like. The variations in the design of the dresses, including the cuts and fabrics make them quite stylistically interesting. This flattering silhouette is undoubtedly sexy and you can easily with the addition of accessories add allure. Retro-looks were seen all over the runways from designers such as Alice and Olivia to more budget friendly brands such as bebe. Velvet is also very popular once again this fall as you will notice many designers featuring velvet throughout their Fall/Winter 2012 collections!

Although many of us admire the high-fashion celebrity looks we see, not everyone can afford the expensive price-tag, so Glam Damn It has decided to share with our readers on how you can achieve this coveted look for less!

 

Alice and Olivia has you covered with this look for about $284. Consider this an investment piece which can be styled in many different ways. Simply by adding a cashmere cardigan or sharp blazer this dress can be worn to work. Take the blazer off and viola, you're instantly ready for a night out on the town. Switch the shoe up too, by adding a garnet-red pump (also, by Alice and Olivia) for a head turning look!

We also checked in with boutique owner and celebrity stylist Meital B. of Reveboutique to ask her what peplum styles she's currently carrying. "I can offer my clientele a celebrity-inspired look at a reasonable price with this beautiful dress by Sentimental. No need for a necklace because the neckline is embellished here with impeccable detail. Add a red-lip and you're party perfect."

There typically isn't a fashionista out there who doesn't love a good bargain. For the budget conscious we discovered this amazing peplum dress from Charlotte Russe (an online deal for only $29.99) . The price alone is reason enough to dance the night away. This also makes a great dress to wear to a wedding by simply amping up a few key accessories such as a great evening bag, some bling and sexy shoe! Make a statement coming and going. For a variation of the look, you can opt for a red dress and then add a stylish black quilted bag -- gorgeous!
