Gwyneth Paltrow wore her sexy gold and silver sparkling Versace Spring 2009 mini strapless dress back in February, when she took to the stage at the 2009 Grammy Awards.

She kept her pins under-wraps by pairing her dress with dove grey opaque tights and gunmetal grey heels.

Mischa Barton was snapped on the set of her new show “The Beautiful Life”, wearing the same dress a few weeks ago.

She accessorized her look with a pair of contrastingly edgy studded ankle boots and let the dress do the rest of the talking.

I would’ve given this to Gwyneth easily if it weren’t for the tights. She has endless long legs, and she was indoors why did she feel the need for the tights?

Mischa wins by default.

It’s not easy following in Diane Kruger’s footsteps, but actress Shantel VanSanten was brave enough to when she walked the red carpet at “The Final Destination” LA premiere last week.

Shantel wore the same - but shortened - Chanel dress which Diane had worn the previous week when promoting “Inglourious Basterds” on “The Late Show With David Letterman”.

The black dress with the black sheer yoke and sleeves is embellished with ivory pearls plus gold paillettes decorated the shoulders.

Diane opted to wear her dress with pointy pumps, whereas Shantel opted for Nicholas Kirkwood shoes.

Last week I loved Shantel’s shorter version and immediately wondered why Diane - who loves a short hemline - didn’t opt for the shorter version, but I guess that was because she making a TV appearance and not walking the red carpet.

Now seeing them side by side I appreciated the sophistication of the longer version more so Diane wins for me.

Rihanna was spotted shopping at the Grove in LA with her assistant Melissa Forde back in February wearing a rather cute look.

The singer wore a blue shirt, tan Chloe heels, a cream Twenty8Twelve Wilma skirt, plus an array of ivory accessories completed her look.

I loved Sienna Miller’s chic summery ensemble of a striped sleeveless top, bold red statement necklace, Rupert Sanderson brogues, and her favourite burgundy Prada Saffiano & Tessuto Tote.

I wouldn’t change a thing about this outfit, she is head to toe perfection.

Sienna Miller’s back at the top of her fashion game and her nautical look wins for me - even with brogues it’s the perfect summer outfit.

If this was a Disney movie, it would be titled “The Lady and the Tramp”.

Princess Beatrice walked the red carpet with her boyfriend, sister and mother to attend “The Young Victoria” World Premiere held at the Odeon, Leicester Square in London back in March.

She wore a Temperley London Spring 2009 cobalt silk asymmetrical dress with a draped sleeve that links into the bubble hem.

She teamed her dress with silver accessories including heels, clutch and a chain belt.

Aubrey O’Day wore the same dress to the LA premiere of “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” with silver Louboutin heels.

At the time I said this was the best I have ever seen Aubrey on the red carpet, as she wasn’t revealing anything and the dress appeared to be the right size for once.

As much as I want to give this to Princess Beatrice, I much prefer Aubrey’s heels and I’m glad she didn’t wear a belt as the jewel detail on the shoulder is enough detail for this dress, so Aubrey wins for me.

Carla Gugino charmed the crowd at the world premiere of “Watchmen” held at the Odeon Leicester Square in London earlier this year, wearing a strapless Dolce & Gabbana nude strapless dress with a voluminous skirt.

I love the fact that she kept her neck bare, and I also love those bow detail on the bodice and the hem of the skirt.

Had this dress been longer, it would have made a stunning ball gown.

Gold heels and a gold clutch complete the look.

Eva Herzigova wore the same dress to the 2009 Costume Institute Gala with Giuseppe Zanotti heels.

When I look at Eva in this picture I’m immediately drawn to her deep maroon lipstick, the strappy heels and beaded necklace. I only notice the dress last.

With such a gorgeous dress there was no need for all those extras.

Carla kept it simple so she wins for me.

Leighton Meester’s avant-garde Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 psychedelic paisley print dress, which she wore to the ‘Costume Institute Gala’ had people split 50/50.

50% loved her bold unexpected choice.

50% disliked the look.

I was in the latter group, because I wasn’t keen on the matching leggings with this look.

Fan Bingbing wore the same dress last month to the grand opening of the Louis Vuitton flagship store in Shenzhen, China.

She proved to me that the dress works better without the leggings off the runway, and for that reason she wins for me. Plus I loved her hair and the black patent belt she wore with the dress.

Catherine Malandrino was in London back in June to attend launch of her boutique within Harrods.

Looking as stunning as ever, the designer opted to wear this emerald pleated empire waist dress with ruffle sleeves from her 2009 Pre-Fall collection.

She could have opted for black heels but instead she wore satin lavender peep-toes which I adore.

Actress Christina Hendricks arrived at the 2009 TCA AMC cocktail reception in California wearing the same dress.

Gold was her colour of choice for her accessories, which complemented her dress well.

Catherine wins this for me as I love the green against her olive skin.
