Actress and singer Emmy Rossum first wore this Carolina Herrera grey fishtail gown to the “Costume Institute Gala” in New York during May of last year.

I really want to like this dress but I just find it a bit bland and I can’t really put my finger on it. Maybe I would just expect something a bit more at this event.

I love the earrings though and am glad she left it at this in terms of accessories.

Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova then wore this dress to the “Telva Magazine Fashion Awards” in Madrid back in October.

I’m stilled not wowed by it but I do like the way that Genoveva’s hair falls over one shoulder.

I wish she’d worn a brighter clutch to give the look a pop of colour.

For me, Genoveva Casanova wins this because I think the gown is more event appropriate.

What do you think?
