Karen Gillan in Monse

This Monse is being sold as a shirt FOR $3000. (In the photo on the model, it looks way more like a dress, also.)

Diane Kruger in Monse

Wow, I guess Monse was at the forefront of this velvet thing.

Lupita in Jason Wu

This was back in June as well -- she and Krugs were at the CFDAs -- and this slideshow will reveal that Summer Velvet really was a thing this year.

Karen Gillan

Karen Gillan was WAY into summer velvet, in fact. This is Self Portrait and I was actually surprised to see it under $500, although obviously that's still exorbitant.

Cobie Smulders

I THINK I matched those to these Rossi shoes that are way expensive, but Steve Madden makes a budget version and this company has one that's a bit more but still under $200.

Laura Harrier

This is custom CK, and based on how that fashion show looked... say goodbye to anything cute from CK for the near future.

Maggie Gyllenhaal in Self Portrait

This is actually here for the shoes. They look like brown velvet Pradas, but I found a cheap version from DSW.

Jaime King, Rachel Bilson

This was also from Self-Portrait's show. I assume Jaime's is velvet. We're this deep into it and it's been a lot of Monse and a lot of Self-P, so I guess we know who bought a lot of velvet on Fashion Ave.

Victoria Justice in Marchesa

Don't know the actual shoe, but I found a $207 version?

This is just a street-style photo of someone's feet. It seemed newsworthy.

Noah Cyrus

Express has a pale mini...

Topshop show, Arrivals, Spring Summer 2018, London Fashion Week, UK - 17 Sep 2017

... and Topshop has the deeper hue.

Close-ish, from Rebecca Minkoff. It's under $100.

Gina Gershon

I am not going to try to match those. You don't need them. YOU DON'T.

Hailee Steinfeld

I MISS YOU, VELVET DOC MARTENS. I wish the currently available colors -- in the standard boot, not this crazy buckled one -- were better.

Florence Welch

I am not personally ready to commit to THAT much velvet.

Theresa May

Even the UK PM got into the action.

Kevin Spacey

As did Mr. Spacey, when hosting the Tonys. I kind of like this for a change of pace, even if it is a tad Hef.

Kat Graham

She looks great.

Rhea Seehorn

INC is here for you on the fuchsia velvet shoe front.

Pandora Sykes

I'm not going to lie, this person -- who is unknown to me but was on a red carpet so okay -- is in the slideshow because of that tote. It's SO GREAT. But she's wearing a velvet blazer and that is my excuse. (She might ALSO have on velvet shoes?)

Megan Mullally

Lilac velvet is not something one sees often outside weddings.

Street Style, Spring Summer 2018, Milan Fashion Week, Italy - 22 Sep 2017

For those of you who like a lower heel.

These are Aquazzura, and mad expensive; SJP sells one without the puff on it.

Sasha Pieterse

Apparently it doesn't have to be full-body velvet, either. It can be patchy. Like this hideous, hideous dress on a lady who deserves better.

Jenna Coleman

So we're pretty sure Jenna here is wearing the same velvet overalls as...

Serinda Swan

... Serinda Swan, right? That TWO people chose them is quite confounding. There are lots of affordable-ish knockoffs, from Anthro to Lord & Taylor.

Heidi Klum

I found a decent dupe of this at Bloomies.

Kate Moss

Oh, girl, you are so Dynasty.

Kelly Rowland

I know this is about velvet, but HER SKIN. I need to drink more water.  

Those are Charlotte Olympia, I'm pretty sure. And if they are your jam, they are on deep sale in several colors but in very specific sizes at places like The Real Real (orange, dove grey, teal, black, flaky gold), and Matches Fashion (deep red).

Sarah Hyland

Macy's has a halter dress in this color, and ModCloth has a really cute keyhole one that's available in plus sizes (I will put more plus sizes in the widgets, btw).

Cara Delevingne

The closest to this Mugler that I could find is an absurdly pricey Altuzarra blazer. I love digging up that stuff because it goes to show how much MONEY is out there being spent on this stuff. Celebs probably get it for free, but SOMEWHERE there are people who don't bat an eye at that price tag.  

Emma Stone

I had a long conversation with myself about whether this is velvet. I decided it is. (The caption agreed with me.)

Garcelle Beauvais

ASOS has something in this color for $12.50. Seriously. It's a SLINKY tank dress, so it's not for me. But maybe it's for you.

Anna Faris

I like to think she was looking directly at the camera and thinking, "Just you wait. JUST YOU WAIT."

Keri Russell

And arguably the coolest execution: a velvet blazer with those derelicte jeans, and Keri Russell's self.

Celebs Are Wearing An Awful Lot of Velvet Lately
