The Oscar winner has worn everything from Oscar de la Renta to Donna Karan, but for the cover of her new album, which hits stores in September, Jennifer Hudson proves that she’s no fashion snob, opting for a simple $36 glitter-striped American Apparel dress. Bargain hunting’s nothing new to the “Spotlight” singer, who readily admits to an obsession with affordable British chain Topshop. But while the cotton dress may have been a bargain, when it came to accessorizing the look she went decidedly high-end, glamming it up with a $475 LAI Vamp belt. We think Jennifer’s cover frock is even more flattering than some of her designer dresses (Oscars anyone?). And what we love most is that it’s a look we can get too! Click here to buy J. Hud’s dress at American Apparel. Interested in more affordable star fashion? Check out other star styles under $100 here including looks from Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria, Carrie Underwood and more.

Ashlee Simpson has cycled through plenty of looks in her career, but she seems to be sticking with her long red hair for now. But our question for the mom-to-be is, can you see from under those bangs? Sure, they match husband Pete Wentz’s carefully straightened fringe, but we’d start bumping into things if we had such long bangs. We want to know what you think! Tell us: Would you wear your bangs as long as Ashlee?
