You could almost hear the jaws drop of every red carpet stylist who has built their reputation on recommending the most expensive and exclusive designer gowns.

Sarah Silverman struck a blow for the ordinary folk who don't have tens of thousands of dollars to spend on a 'one night only' dress when she admitted to her online $60 bargain.

And the 42-year-old funnygirl proved that all the money in the world doesn't buy you style.

For Sarah looked gorgeous as she arrived at the Emmys on Sunday night in the little black dress despite the knock down price.

Refreshingly, she was happy to admit to red carpet host Ryan Seacrest when he asked her who she was wearing: 'I bought it online for $60.'

The knee length, pencil dress with fitted bodice and thick shoulder straps, showed off her enviable slender figure.

  blah blah

If you have a figure like Sarah's you can make anything look amazing whatever the price tag

The writer and actress famous for her satirical slant is sure to cause an internet crash from viewers clamoring to buy the dress that enhanced her toned arms to perfection.

Her curved heel black platforms added an extra five inches to her height.

She accessorised with a simple silver bracelet and earrings and a black clutch bag.

'Her sleek black gown is elegant in its simplicity, and the affordable price is just the kicker,' continued the website.

'It's probably a long shot to expect the rest of Tinseltown to follow her lead, but we have to hope the affordable fashion trend picks up at least a little bit of steam.

'We've always loved Sarah for her down-to-earth sensibility, and this just proves it.'
