Look for Less: Jeans

Bright colored denim, high-waist jeans, wide leg trousers -- celebrities love their jeans and have been spotted rocking all the trends. If you feel like splurging, we'll tell you which pricey brands the celebs are wearing, and then show you how to get a similar look for less. MUCH, MUCH less.

Katie Holmes: Wide Leg
It's been reported that Mrs. Cruise receives a whopping $500,000 a year to shop (and we're sure that doesn't include Suri's fancy duds). Katie's invested $105 in a pair of Level 99's wide leg Dorothy jeans, but we found a look-alike for half that price.

Wide Leg for Less
Give wide leg jeans a try with Lands' End flared lightweight denim. Tall girls can pair them with flats, but the style looks best with a small wedge on shorter frames.

Sarah Jessica Parker: Jet Black Jeans
We love SJP's fashion philosophy: "It's every woman's right to a stylish wardrobe AND have money to live." Parker celebrated the opening of the Christian Lacroix boutique in NYC in jeans from her own line Bitten (EVERYTHING she designed is under $20!).

Jet Black Jeans for Less
SJP's jeans are so affordable, they're cheaper than a lipstick at just $9! That's no typo, they're really just nine bucks.

Victoria Beckham: Super-Pale Denim
It's not hard to guess Posh's denim brand of choice. It's her own line, dVb , of course! For her dinner date with hubby David, Beckham sports her Skinny Flares in Stonebleach ($231).

Pale Blue Jeans for Less
What could be more summery than a pair of breezy sailor pants? This lightweight pair by American Eagle Outfit has nautical button at the hip and are the palest shade of blue.

Cameron Diaz: Aqua Jeans
Colored denim is the perfect way to add splash to your outfit while keeping it casual. Diaz looks California chic in J & Company's bright blue Beverly Dagger skinny jeans ($140).

Aqua Jeans for Less
Tip: Follow Cam's lead when choosing colored denim and keep the rest of your outfit neutral. A mix of colors will compete with the jeans. We love Levi's sea blue skinny jeans paired with a white tee.

Sienna Miller: Charcoal Jeans
Britain's 'It' girl rocks a pair of Genetic Denim's Onyx Cigarette jeans ($220). While skinny jeans are perfect for tucking into boots in cooler weather, the tapered leg also works in summer with flats.
