Gossip Girl actress Leighton Meester, wore this olivie Pencey Cummerbund dress to the premiere of Killer Movie during the 7th Annual Tribeca Film Festival back in April in New York.

The actress was one of the first to start the white shoe trend.

A slick haired Cassie attend the launch of Madison Square Garden's new series "NYC Sound Tracks" at Metrazur Restaurant in Grand Central Terminal this month in New York wearing the same dress in white.

I love Cassie's shoes, but I much prefer the colour of Leighton's dress, so she wins for me.

Who Wore Ralph Lauren Better? Heidi Montag or Glenn Close


Who would have thought that these two ladies would wear the same dress?

The reality TV star wore her dress with a large fuschia hat.

Glenn Close wore the same dress with the black patent belt that appeared on the runway, when she attended the Fox All-Star Party At The Pier in LA this week.

Who Wore Dolce & Gabbana Better? Khloe Kardashian or Lauren Conrad or Michelle Kwan


In the space of a week this Dolce & Gabbana dress has become the hottest dress on the red carpet.

First up was Khloe Kardashian. She wore this sexy Dolce & Gabbana bustier dress with Burberry Prorsum stretch mesh T-bar sandals in Las Vegas last month, when she celebrated her 27th birthday with family and friends at Pure nightclub.

This week Lauren Conrad wore the same dress to the premiere of The Dark Knight in New York.

The reality TV bore wore her dress with a simple in a pair of black peep-toe Louboutins, and her "Lauren" name tag ring.

Last night Figure skater Michelle Kwan wore the same dress - I guess she does not read blogs - to the ESPY Awards.

The athlete wore her dress with black wedges, which had a white striped heel.

I do love Michelle's wedges, but I will begrudgingly give this to Lauren, with Khloe ending up in last place for this contest.

Who Wore Lanvin Better? Alex Curran or Coleen McLoughlin


Alex Curran is the wife of Liverpool Football Club midfielder Steven Gerrard. She is known as a *WAG and loves her labels. She can often be found in Liverpool boutique Cricket, spending her husbands hard earn cash.

The blonde beauty wore this red Lanvin Spring 2008 one-shouldered ruffled top with a high waisted black pencil skirt, and a gold buckled waist belt to the Grand National at Aintree back in April.

Fellow WAG and arch enemy - think Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montage without the American accents - Coleen McLoughlin, wore the same top in yellow, when she attended Kylie's concert in Manchester this weekend.

The label loving WAG - with a job - can often be found in Flannels boutique spending a fortune on labels she probably can't pronounce, but she does have a great sense of style.

I love how both ladies have worn this top, and although it looks great with jeans and appeared with pants on the runway, I LOVE Alex's look, as this is very much my style, so she wins for me.




*WAGs (or Wags) is an acronym used particularly (but by no means exclusively) by the British tabloid press to describe the Wives And Girlfriends of the England national football team. It came into common use during the 2006 World Cup, held in Germany, although it had been used occasionally before that.

Who Wore Louis Vuitton On The Cover Better? Charlize Theron For Elle UK or Kate Moss For Vogue US


Charlize Theron UK Elle magazine's August 2008 edition was first on the newsstands with her wearing a beautiful wool dress from Louis Vuitton Fall 2008 collection.

The actress oozed sex appeal on the cover as she talks to Elle about love, marriage and the pursuit of happiness.

Kate Moss wears the same dress as Charlize on the cover of US Vogue's August 2008 edition, but from her pose you get to see more of the dress.

The supermodel also wears a stunning diamond necklace, but appears to have aged 50 years and is almost unrecognizable.

I will guess that Anna wouldn't be please about this dress duplication.

Without a single hesitation I will give this win to Charlize.

Who Wore Oscar de la Renta Better? Cameron Diaz or Jennifer Lopez


When Cameron Diaz arrived at the Women In Film's 2008 Crystal Lucy Awards, she ditched her laid back casual style, for this Ladies Who Lunch look.

The actress wore a white satin organza strapless Oscar de la Renta Resort 2009 dress with white and coral embroidery. She completed her sophisticated look with a red pashmina and red satin heels.

Jennifer Lopez and designer Oscar de la Renta were on set for an Elle magazine shoot in New York yesterday.

The mother of twins looked fabulous in the same strapless dress and Oscar de la Renta cream patent shoes also from the Resort 2009 collection.

Although this look is very unexpected for Cameron, I prefer the dress on her to Jennifer.

Jennifer tan lines turn me off, but I am sure they will be edited out before the magazine hits the stands.

Who Wore Chanel Better? Sarah Jessica Parker or Anna Wintour


Sarah Jessica Parker was the first to wear this Chanel bouclé suit, for her Vogue July 2008 editorial, just 5 days after it appeared on the Paris runway, for Chanel's Fall 2008 presentation.

SJP was styled wearing a Lanvin hat, Philip Crangi for Vera Wang cuff bracelet, and Balenciaga pumps.

Anna Wintour must have like the suit from the shoot, as she was spotted wearing the same one, the following month to Gap's White Shirts Launch Event hosted by Vogue.

The editor-in-chief of American Vogue wore her suit with a fur scarf, tan knee-high boots and what appears to be a different belt.

I adore Sarah's hat and shoes with this suit, so she wins this for me.

Who Wore Jasmine di Milo Better? Anne Hathaway or Anna Walton


Newly single Anne Hathaway hosted a screening of Get Smart without costar Steve Carell at the Lollipop Theater in New York last month.

The stunning actress wore a steel blue Jasmine di Milo Fall 2008 dress, with snake-skin pumps.

HellBoy II actress Anna Walton, attended her premiere at the Mann Village Westwood Theater last month in LA wearing the same dress with ruby patent peep-toes.

Although I have been loving the edgier direction Anne has taken in the wardrobe department, I much prefer Anna Walton in this dress.

The shoulders on Anna's dress are more structured, and I love her red lips, red shoes combo, as the dress needs a dash of red, as it appeared on the runway.

Who Wore Chanel Couture Better? Cate Blanchett or Daphne Guinness


Queen Cate Blanchett first wore this Chanel Fall 2006 Couture dress back in 2006 to the Volver London Film Premiere.

Cate wore the stunning black dress with a gold turtle-neck and hemline, with black tights and knee-high boots.

Heiress and Couture Queen, Daphne Guinness wore the same mini couture dress with incredibly high platforms and a Azzedine Alai waist belt.

Despite Daphne being the Queen of Couture, and just recently finished shooting a 24 page Vogue Italia spread in Fall 2008 couture gowns, I MUCH prefer this dress without the belt, so Cate wins for me.

Who Wore Preen Better? Amy Winehouse or Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow looked every inch the yummy mummy when she wore the same bondage-style minidress in black.

The actress wore the dress with 7in sky-high lace-print Giuseppe Zanotti heels at an Iron Man photocall in Rome with co-star Robert Downey Jnr.

Urgh to Amy Winehouse, Gwynie wins this easily for me.

Who Wore Diane von Furstenberg Better? Jordin Sparks or Jennifer Morrison



Jordin Sparks wore this orange Diane von Furstenberg Kacia bandeau dress to the Nickelodeon's 2008 Kids' Choice Awards in March.

The American Idol winner wore the orange dress with a beige pair of Giuseppe Zanotti Architectural Wedge Sandal's, which instantly stood out, due to the large cut-out wedge detail.

Actress Jennifer Morrison attended the launch party for Lucid Absinthe at Crown Bar in LA last month wearing the same dress.

Jennifer carried a black clutch, black peep-toes and a silver clutch.

I think this dress suits Jordin's body shape better with the empire-line, so she wins this for me. The shoes helped also.



This dress with a with large box pleat through center and two side pockets is currently on sale.

You can buy it from the US Net-A-Porter site for $262 and the International site for only £140/€192.

You could wear this bright fun piece to work or on a night out with platforms sandals with a great contrasting colour tote.

The tiny actress wore her vest over a white maxi dress.

Ashely wins this for me, as I prefer the plain white dress with this overly embellished vest.

Who Wore Alice + Olivia Better? Aubrey O'Day or Khloe Kardashian


Aubrey O'Day was the first to wear this orange Alice + Olivia Floral Poof Dress to Danity Kane's Official Album Release Party back in March.

The singer/party girl wore her shorten dress with gold sandals and a gold clutch.

Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian who wore the same orange dress, without the belt, to the Jonathan Cheban Launches Kritik Clothing event in April.

The Kardashian sister famed for riding her sister Kim's coat-tails, teamed her dress with a gold pair of YSL tribute platform sandals and a gold clutch.

Brittany Snow jumped on the bandwagon by wearing this popular dress to the Stride® gum's "Ridiculously Long Lasting" Celebration two weeks ago in LA.

The actress also wore her dress with gold sandals.

All the girls opted for gold accessorizes with this dress, which is refreshing to just black.

For shortening her dress, and therefore making it her own, Aubrey wins for me.




As this Alice + Olivia Floral Poof Dress was popularized by the above celebs in orange, the dress in this colour has been reduced from $367 to $256.90 from Shopbop whereas the yellow and white have been reduced to $183.50.

I much prefer the pink, and the shorter hemline, so Christine wins this for me.

Who Wore Marchesa Better? Georgina Chapman or Selma Blair


As I have said many times, there is no greater ambassador for Marchesa, than the designer Georgina Chapman.

And she proves it here by wearing a stunning black jumpsuit with black beaded lapels from her Marchesa Fall 2008 collection with purple suede YSL tribute pumps.

The designer wore this to the 2008 Elle Style Awards back in February.

Selma Blair wore the same jumpsuit this weekend, when she attended the premiere of Hellboy II, in which she stars.

The actress carried a stunning Chanel clutch with a glass logo, that totally caught my attention.

Selma's clutch almost helps her wins this, but Georgina wins as her pants are not completely dragging on the floor like Selma's, plus I think Georgina give this jumpsuit more sex appeal.

Who Wore Thread Social Better? Famke Janssen or Tinsley Mortimer


X-Men actress Famke Janssen first wore this silk pink Thread Social tiered halter dress to her Turn the River New York premiere back in April.

The pretty brunette's dress was tiered with what appeared to be blossoming pink petals, which she wore with black peep-toes, a silver cuff and a black clutch.

New York socialite Tinsley Mortimer, recently scored herself a cameo on the juicy drama Gossip Girl.

On her way to her close up, Tinsley wore a cream Thread Social tiered halter dress, with silver strappy sandals.

Both women look amazing in their dresses, but if I had to choose a dress for me I would pick Famke's pink version.




Both these dress are available to purchase from NET-A-PORTER.

Famke's pink dress is sold-out on the US site, but available on the International site for £715.

Tinsley's cream dress is available from the US site for only $480, and the International site for only £425.

If you are wondering why the prices are so different, for what appears to be the same dress, but in different colours. The cream dress is wool gauze, whereas the pink dress is silk organza.

Who Wore Versace Better? Beyonce Knowles or Han Ye-Seul


Recently married singer Beyonce Knowles, first wore this stunning beaded Versace plunge-neck gown in beige, when she hit the red carpet for The Cipriani Wall Street Concert Series in which she performed at back in 2005.

The Crazy in Love singer, showed off her wicked curves in this body-hugging dress.

At the 45th Daejong Film Awards in Seoul on Friday night, actress Han Ye-Seul wore the same dress in a lighter shade of ivory.

The winner of Best Actress at this ceremony, wore her dress with an ivory clutch with blue detail.

Although I am not crazy about Beyonce's eye make-up with this dress, there is no denying that this dress looks like it was made for her.

Who Wore Christian Dior Better? Cameron Diaz or Katherine Jenkins


What Happens in Vegas actress Cameron Diaz was the first to wear this pink strapless Christian Dior by John Galliano gown to the 2008 Oscars.

A lot of people critcised her dress for being too bland, but I loved the folds and the simplicity of the dress. Cameron does not do bling, so I don't know what people were expecting.

I personally praised her for her invisible makeup, but again she was criticised for her make-up being too simple for the Oscar's.

It just goes to prove you can't please everyone.

Welsh opera singer Katherine Jenkins wore the same dress on Wednesday evening when she attended a Dinner In Honour Of Nelson Mandela's 90th Birthday in London.

Cameron easily wins this for me, as she worn her hair back and kept her neck bare, which only makes her appear more sophisticated in the dress. Katherine is slightly too busty for this dress in my opinion.

Who Wore Marchesa Better? Molly Sims or Ashanti


Model/actress Molly Sims looked stunning in this Marchesa Fall 2007 gown, which was embellished with beads to look like a she was wearing many necklaces.

She wore this dress to a St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital Benefit back in April. My only wish was that she had worn her hair back, to show off the dress more.

Singer Ashanti, wore the same dress to the BET Awards on Tuesday night, with her hair back.

The R&B diva modified her dress, to give her a thigh high split. Unfortunately this slightly ruins the dress in my opinion, so Molly wins this for me.

Who Wore Stella McCartney Better? Helena Christensen or Kim Kardashian


The 5ft 10 supermodel Helena Christensen, first wore this Stella McCartney Spring 2008 jumpsuit when she attended the Diamond Is Forever Luncheon for Antony Todd in New York last month.

The sexy brunette supermodel, with the piercing green eyes, simply accessorized her navy jumpsuit with a silver clutch.

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian, wore the same jumpsuit in white to the BET Award pre-party on Monday night, which she attended with boyfriend Reggie Bush.

Kim accessorized with a cork clutch and many gold and ivory bangles.

You would think that the leggy supermodel would win this battle hands down, but for me it's 5ft 3 Kim who wins. Mostly because of the colour, and secondly she appears to fill the suit better.
