An Ugly Betty outfit: How to dress like Amanda

You asked, you get! On request, we've raided the high street (and the department stores) for the perfect ways to emulate the look worn by Amanda (Becki Newton) in Ugly Betty. The epitome of the 'sexy secretary', Amanda looks best in tailored shirts, waistcoats, pencil skirts, figure-hugging dresses and perilously high shoes. She's a girl after my own heart!

Black Halo 'Jackie O' dress (as worn by Amanda) $328 at Saks
Belted sateen shorts $29 at Hot Kiss
Cap sleeved 'Amanda' blouse $59 at Bebe
White waistcoat $69 at Guess
High waisted skirt with braces £45 at Oasis
Black belt with big gold buckle £15 at Miss Selfridge
Black belted shirt dress $54.50 at Windsor
Platform patent Mary Jane pumps $99.95 at Steve Madden

We tried to bring you a mix of 'as seen on' items and cheap alternatives. For the ultimate Amanda-esque wardrobe, click here for a huge list of her costumes.

Teaqa - you'd be surprised who can. I have a wierd length grey tweed skirt from H&M bought a couple of years ago and is a but small (I say a bit, going to the loo did take 15 minutes as I couldn't pull it back down over my hips) BUT I wore it just below the ribs with a blouse tucked in and shiny heels and completely rocked the Amanda vibe. I'm a biggish 14 with an F cup chest so no hard body in sight!

It wasn't the most comfortable of outifts but I don't think Amanda's look is designed for 'fat' days, hangovers or running for the bus!

And don't forget the wonder of spanx!

I love this look! But I have a thing about wearing colours in the spring/summertime, so would this look look okay in colours other than black, white and grey?

I can't imagine myself dressing like Amanda, but I love love love her look on the show. Her style is one of my favourites on television right now.
