Whilst continuing to promote “Inglourious Basterds”, Diane Kruger was spotted leaving “Live with Regis & Kelly” in New York last week wearing a white Opening Ceremony short sleeve pleated dress with black ballet flats.

Her look was accessorized with a single bracelet and a 3.1 Phillip Lim studded black bag.

When Diane Kruger appeared on “It’s On With Alexa Chung” this week she would have instantly recognised Alexa’s dress, as it was the same dress she has worn days earlier.

Alexa wore very similar boots to Diane on the show, but she added a studded belt to toughen up her look.

I’m not crazy about Alexa’s boyish boots with this feminine dress, but I do prefer the dress belted as it gives the dress a more defined shape so Alexa wins for me.

You can buy this dress from Opening Ceremony for $430.

Actress Zoe Saldana was the first to wear this full-skirted grey Azzedine Alaia dress to the “Star Trek” London premiere at the Empire Leicester Square.

This sparkly dress was the perfect for choice for Zoe as it made her stand out on the red carpet.

She accessorized her dress with long dangling earrings, a bold cuff, and Azzedine Alaia lace-up booties.

Model Doutzen Kroes must have loved the look so much because duplicated the look from head-to-booties for the “Looking for Eric” during Cannes Film Festival.

Unfortunately for Doutzen the dress makes her appear wider than she is, whereas it delicately skims Zoe’s hips.

Zoe totally owned this look, so she wins for me.

On a sunny stroll round the shops in Brentwood, Reese Witherspoon was spotted wearing pair of 3.1 Phillip Lim ikat skorts with a navy tank and tan gladiators, whilst carrying a Marni bag.

Cut to July and Cheryl Cole headed out to dinner with fellow X Factor judge Louis Walsh in London, wearing the same skorts in Summer with opaques tights.

Granted it’s night time and our British summertime sucks, but I really don’t like the leather jacket and tights she paired with the skorts, so Reese wins for me.

British actress Emily Mortimer was a guest at one of the many Topshop/Topman launch dinner parties, held around the time of the New York store opening back in March.

She wore a black Topshop gold and lace detailed dress, with tights, black heels and a lipstick pink boyfriend blazer.

Lily Collins wore the same dress to “The Serpentine Gallery’s Summer Party” last month in London, with Topshop black and gold sandals and a black clutch.

The blazer was a welcome pop of colour to her all black ensemble, so Emily wins for me.

This dress is available to purchase from Topshop for £65/$135.

I hope Victoria Beckham hasn’t watched the movie “Single White Female”, as she would be very afraid of Elle Macpherson right about now. j/k

On the set of “The Beautiful Life” Elle wore yet another dress from Victoria Beckham’s Fall 2009 collection which VB has worn recently.

This time it was the black ‘Giral’ strapless silk dress which Victoria wore when she arrived back from Denver after her judging gig on “American Idol”.

The dress and sunglasses are the same, but the hair is not.

I know this contradicts what I said yesterday about “no one beats VB in her own threads”, but I hated Victoria’s Croydon facelift as it makes her face so harsh, so Elle wins for me.

Victoria’s Giral strapless silk dress is available in purchase from the Net-A-Porter US site for $2,625, and the Net-A-Porter International site for £1,750/€2,188.

Within a month Victoria Beckham’s ‘Carmontelle’ cashmere-blend dress has been worn on 3 different shoots.

I was surprised Leighton Meester was the first to wear a Victoria Beckham Fall 2009 dress in claret red, on the set of “Gossip Girl” last month before Victoria.

Her dress was totally Blair-ified with pearls and a trademark headband.

Victoria picked this same dress in grey to wear on the shoot of her ad campaign, which is impressive considering bigger designers like Christian Dior will not shoot a Fall 2009 ad campaign.

This week Elle Macpherson looked younger than her 46 years wearing the same dress in grey on set of “The Beautiful Life”.

It seems the model/actress has studied VB closely getting both the look and the pout right.

For me no one can out do VB in her own threads.

The collection is not only made by her, but made for her so she wins for me, with Elle a very close second.


The Net-A-Porter US site is the only place you can currently buy this stunning dress online for $3,145.

The Michael Kors Fall 2009 strapless dress with pockets on the hips, and a seaming detail across the bodice has been worn by Blake Lively and Angelina Jolie recently.

Back in June Blake opted for the hot pink wool version when she arrived at the CFDA Awards, pairing her dress with nude Christian Louboutin peep-toes.

I loved the colour on Blake. This is actually one of my favourite looks for her. She seems to be back to her best after being very disappointing on the red carpet in 2008.

If Angelina had worn the hot pink version I think I would have fainted from the shock, but she opted for the sexy leather version, pairing her dress with Dior heels.

Interestingly both women opted to use the pocket detail whilst posing on the red carpet, and both sported that ‘just got out of bed’ hair look.

Ange does look fabulous in this dress – despite the feeling of de ja vu – but Blake made the bigger impact by totally blowing me away, so she wins for me.

Blake’s pink dress is currently available to purchase from Saks.com for $1,595.
