Ali Larter is 50, fabulous and fashionable as ever. The actress recently celebrated her milestone birthday in the Bahamas with loved ones and shared snaps of the tropical getaway on Instagram. Naturally, a series of bikini pics had us gawking at Larter’s impressive abs (courtesy of Brooke Wyndham’s exercise program, perhaps?), but it was the strapless mini dress she wore for a night out that had us excited for summer.
In a photo posted to her Instagram story, Larter flashed a priceless smile in a pricy dress. Always generous with her designer tags, Larter credited the strapless mini as a Ramy Brook original. The Orion style is described as a satin mini dress with a strapless design and a tie-front bodice. It retails for a whopping $495. Luckily, we found an Amazon version for a fraction of the price.

Here’s what working at a boutique taught me: Our shoppers loved buying dresses that balanced flattering styles with comfortable fits. There were no flashy, expensive logos in sight. The dresses that really flew off our racks had chic prints, accentuating shapes and a subtly expensive feel. So when I scrolled through Amazon’s New Spring Arrivals […]
The Boriflors mini dress has a similar sweetheart bodice and tie front to Larter’s going-out look. However, the latter has a relaxed fit, while the Amazon dress is bodycon with a keyhole cutout that shows a bit more skin. What’s more, the Orion dress is constructed from stretch satin, which likely contributes to its steep price tag. The Amazon version is made from a spandex blend and costs a mere $24 (with free shipping for Prime members).
Obsessed as we are with a little white dress moment, this style of dress is designed specifically for special occasions. If you know you’ll only wear it once or twice a season, opting for the budget-friendly version over the investment splurge makes more sense. Plus, Larter’s dress comes in two colors (Ivory and Fiesta Pink). Amazon’s alternatives come in seven shades, from bright white to royal blue and vibrant purple.
If you’re skeptical about what a dress under $25 can offer, the consensus among customers is that the one-and-done going-out outfit exceeded their expectations. One commenter said, “It’s perfect for a sexy date night or if you just want to feel good about yourself on a girls’ night out,” adding that the material was stretchy and comfortable and, despite their “fairly large chest,” they felt comfortable despite having to wear a strapless, backless bra.
“The dress didn’t offer any support in that area, but I didn’t feel exposed or like I would’ve popped out.”
Though spring has barely sprung, Ali Larter’s strapless mini dress has Us dreaming of summer nights and outdoor dining in our Saturday best. You can nail her look for significantly less on Amazon now, and for under $25! That’s one sexy steal if you ask Us.
