Now that's how to do business: Michelle Dewberry rocks a £50 version of Kate Winslet's £900 designer contour dress

On trend at a snip of the price: Michelle Dewberry rocked a contour dress by label TFNC which at £50 is a fraction of the cost of Kate Winslet's £855 Stella McCartney number


Michelle Dewberry put her business acumen to good use when she graced the Prince's Trust Rock Gala at the Royal Albert Hall last night.

The Apprentice winner stepped out wearing an imitation of Kate Winslet's famous Stella McCartney contour dress.


And the 32-year-old managed to perfect the look for a fraction of the price of Miss Winslet's black and white number, picking it up from Bullfrogs in Clapham for just £49.99.

The version worn by Kate at the premiere of Mildred Pierce in Venice in September, was from Stella McCartney’s Winter 2011 collection costing £885 making Michelle's number a snip.

She looked fantastic in the red and black number which can be bought at online shopping store ASOS, which has been designed to create the illusion that the wearer has an hourglass figure.

The flattering design has proven popular among female celebrities for some months now.

Earlier this year, Liv Tyler took to the red carpet in a similar Stella McCartney dress that was electric blue with black panels.

While Victoria Beckham, Carol Vorderman and Kim Kardashian have all been snapped in the same £2,500 Alexander McQueen design that uses black lines on a white dress to give the impression of an hourglass.

At the Prince's Trust Rocks Gala Pete Townshend and Boy George were among the performers who got together to raise funds for disadvantaged young people.

The veterans were joined by younger stars such as Tim Minchin and Joss Stone and the event was hosted by Edith Bowman and Patrick Kielty.

Joss was her typically kooky self wearing a multi-coloured maxi dress, while Edith Bowman wore an elegant black dress dressing up her neck area with an ornate piece of jewelry.

Performances included Alison Moyet's Slave To The Rhythm, Boy George's Do You Really Want To Hurt Me, Joss Stone's Super Duper Love, Cerys Matthews' Road Rage and five songs by The Who legend Pete Townshend.

Martina Milburn, chief executive of The Prince's Trust, said: 'We were thrilled to have the support of so many musicians who care as passionately as we do about the future of a very large and growing crowd of young people hit by rising unemployment.

'Money raised by the Rock Gala will help us to change young lives at a very difficult time, when more than a million 16 to 24 year-olds are out of work.'
