Who Wore Chanel Better? Diane Kruger or Shantel VanSanten

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 pearl detail sandals.

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.

28.08.09 Premiere

“The Final Destination” LA Premiere

If your going to wear the same Chanel dress Diane Kruger wore two weeks ago, you better look fantastic in it and Shantel VanSanten does.

A lot of you weren’t liking Diane in the dress as you felt it was too tight on the bust, but Shantal doesn’t appear have that same issue.

With her hair swept to the side in a low bun the actress oozed sexy sophistication pairing her dress with Nicholas Kirkwood pearl embellished sandals.

Sporting a classic updo to show off her gold drop earrings, Haley Webb shone brightly wearing a one-shouldered canary yellow satin Lela Rose Spring 2009 dress with black peep-toes.

I love how she stands out on the black carpet, but I feel slightly uninspired by her all black accessories.

From the white dress to the grey suede Christian Louboutin ankle boots, I’m not liking anything about Krista Allen’s look at all.

She tried a funky look but came off looking slightly ridiculous.

A dress similar in style to Haley’s would’ve made her look more sophisticated.

Haylie Duff doesn’t appear in this movie, but that didn’t prevent her from making the biggest effort at this premiere.

Her ivory one shoulder Nikolaki Spring 2009 gown is glorious. I love the colour against her sun-kissed skin.

The gown is accented with a black waist band and from the close-up you can see the shoulder detail cascade down her back.

Loose tussled waves and nude lips complete this gorgeous look.

Of all the celebrities we’ve see wearing the Christian Louboutin Very Prive studded peep-toe pumps Nicky Hilton loves hers the most, as we’ve seen them on her many times.

She paired her heels with a simple strapless Elise Øverland tiered black dress, and diamond earrings.
