Li Bingbing was actually the first to wear this Alessandra Rich blue lace ¾-length-sleeve belted dress, which is decorated with Swarovski crystals, from the Spring 2012 collection.
The Asian beauty wore the dress to Elton John’s AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party back in February.
She teamed her gown with Cindy Chao jewels and a Lana Marks clutch.
A slick updo and pretty pink lip colour completed her look.
Samantha Cameron wore the same gown the following month, but hers had a navy lining.
The PM’s wife wore her gown with a black leather belt, plus kept the black pussy bow that the gown was presented with.
Both women look amazing.
Whilst I admire Li Bingbing for making the look her own, I have to go with Sam Cam on this one.
I like the dress with a belt, plus I like the prim nature of the look with the pussy bow.

Li Bingbing……….
Li Bing Bing all the way. Don’t like this dress when Samantha Cameron wore it months ago (because she looks like an elementary student, that’s why).
It looks so chic and elegant on Li Bing Bing, but dated and frumpy on Sam Cameron to me. I guess it depends whether you like the prim look!
I prefer the sophisticated approach by Li BingBing, the updo and the clutch really work beautifully.
I actually prefer it on Samantha, because I like her lined version and the belt and bow that she added.
Li Bingbing.
I feel like it is a different dress on both of them, so…and they both look amazing and worked it.
Because I had to choose between them, I chose SamCam because she was the first to wear it and is always fashion forward and stylish, unlike a Duchess I could mention.
Mrs. Cameron wore it on 03/14/12 while Li on 02/26/12 and you claimed that Mrs. Cameron was the first one to wear it????
I love how the dress skims Li’s delicate figure, with the slick ‘do and pretty makeup finishing her elegant look beautifully whereas it ends up looking frumpy on Samantha. Li wins for me.
The Asian star always looks better. It’s some kind of super power inherent to all of them
