This Balmain Crystal-Embellished Jacket ($11,410) is undeniably fly, but besides Beyonce and a couple other celebs, I don't know anyone willing to fork over the dough for such a trendy statement piece. I love the kitschy, band-jacket-inspired style, but paying that much is not even a faint possibility . . .

Thank goodness we have Target! Not only does this Target Go International Bandleader Vest ($35) cost a fraction of Balmain's design, but the pared down embellishments make it more wearable. The cropped cut is perfect for any badass, Balmain-inspired ensemble. Get it while it's hot!

I seriously hate that jacket.
1why on earth would i ever let either of those monstrosities touch my body?!?!?!
2Too trendy. I would never spend $11K on something that is so recognizable.
3I don't care for this at all.
4not a fan of any of this for myself, but it looked ok on bey
5Try making it yourself and then 110x more and then see if you feel the price in considerable.
6Seriously...I was in marching band back in high school and I'm pretty sure our jackets looks EXACTLY like the Balmain jacket...since when did marching band uniforms become trendy?!
7I think its a great piece! I definitely buy the vest.
8$11K is a ridiculous price for ANY piece of clothing that's not covered in precious jewels. I do like the jacket though and in fact I bought the Target version. It's cute.
9If I wanted to dress like Michael Jackson, I would just wear a single glove.
10too expensive for me
11Not my favorite look, but that is a good look for less piece!
12Eep. Looks like a gross, old marching band uniform from high school circa 1992. I wouldn't wear it if it happened to be free.
13are you effing kidding me? That is anything but fly.
14I love the vest. It was featured earlier this week on Look of the Day and the girl looked great with the vest. The jacket looks like Sgt Pepper...gross.
15I hate the jacket. One name comes to mind: Michael Jackson.
16Adore the jacket, hate the vest (very cheap looking.)
17People hate this jacket yet they adore ugg boots. ???
18I look and Michael Jackson springs to mind, that can't possibly be a good thing style-wise.
19i want it!!!!
