20.11.14 Who Wore It Better?
Back in June Brie Larson wore a star-print Diane von Furstenberg Fall 2014 chiffon ‘Tamara’ gown to the CFDA Fashion Awards styled with a DVF ‘Evil Eye’ shoulder bag.
Jamie Chung wore the same gown to the ‘Big Hero’ LA premiere earlier this month, styling her look with Stuart Weitzman ‘Nudist’ sandals and a lot more leg.
Preferring her bohemian hairstyling, which worked perfectly in tune with this gown, Jamie wins for me. I much prefer her styling.

Jena Malone was the first to rock the monkey-embroidered Valentino Resort 2015 dress while attending the ‘Inherent Vice’ premiere last month.
Ever the daredevil, she didn’t line the sheer dress, opting to wear a bralet and hot pants, styling the look with a Valentino clutch and navy pumps while giving her new red hair its red carpet debut.
Alexa Chung wore the same dress a few weeks later while attending a dinner party to celebrate Valentino Garavani’s launch of his new book.
While the overall look was much more prim with the dress fully lined, I much prefer Jena’s approach, especially when it came to the styling.

Teresa Palmer wore a beautiful Carolina Herrera Fall 2014 bright red gown with tonal appliqués to the opening ceremony of the 19th Busan International Film Festival last month.
A few weeks later Eugenia Silva wore the same gown to the Elle Style Awards, styling her look with a selection of gold jewels.
As you know, I’m never one to wish for a re-run, but that was the case on this occasion as I felt Teresa didn’t really have the presence to pull off this gown, plus the fit was off, especially around the waist.
This was an easy win for Eugenia.

During her amazing promo tour for ‘Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom’, Naomie Harris wore the first Pre-Fall 2014 look, selecting a pretty mint-green silk dress from Burberry Prorsum.
Opting for an edgy pair of Daniele Michetti sandals, her look was completed with soft tumbling waves and a black clutch.
Kirsten Dunst wore the same dress last week to the Diesel Black Gold at Saks Fifth Avenue launch and Flaunt Magazine’s 15th anniversary party, styling her look with just black pumps.
What was sultry on Naomie was mumsy on Kirsten; the reduction of the plunge, plus the hairstyle and styling contributed to this.
Naomie for the win.

This Peter Pilotto ‘Aro’ dress has become so popular it has had three red carpet sightings within a month.
Hilary Swank styled her blue colour-block dress featuring vivid gemstones with simple Casadei pumps and a silver clutch while attending the 37th Annual Mill Valley Film Festival early in the month.
Last week, Sarah-Jane Crawford attended the MOBO Awards on Wednesday night, styling her frock with simple black Stuart Weitzman ‘Nudist’ sandals.
On the same night, albeit a few hours later due to the time difference, Jenny McCarthy wore the same dress on ‘Watch What Happens Live’, styling her look with sea-blue nails and maroon sandals.
While all look great in this dress, I wasn’t a fan of Hilary’s pumps or Sarah-Jane’s makeup, and I’m astounded as to why Jenny opted for those maroon velvet heels.
In the end I went with Hilary. I really wanted to give this to Sarah-Jane’s but couldn’t get passed the makeup.

Keira Knightley wore a vintage Chanel navy dress with white trims including bow detailing to the Los Angeles premiere of ‘Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit’ back in January.
While hardly an exciting choice for an LA premiere, this ladylike look did suit Keira to a tee.
Fellow Chanel ambassador Astrid Berges-Frisbey wore the same dress during Deauville American Film Festival in September for the ‘I Origins’ Photocall.
Sadly, her styling fails to impress. The shoes give the look a matronly feel, the necklace overcooks the look and I am missing the second bow at the waist.
Keira wins this for her more favourable styling.
