The country star looked poised, pairing it with satin <i>Charlotte Olympia</i> cat-face pumps. A heavy fringe, pulled back hair and red lipstick accompanied her outfit. Something about this look says 'ballerina'.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Sarah Hyland</span></b> picked out the boat-neck dress for a charity event on 6th April 2013. The 'Modern Family' actress wore a pair of black <i>Giuseppe Zanotti</i> bow-adorned peep-toes, and had her hair braided to the side.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Cheryl Burke</span></b> of 'Dancing with the Stars' fame wore the classic cream frock with open back to a movie premiere on 22 April 2013.

The young actress tried to give her outfit a more youthful styling with bright coral sandals by <i>Marc by Marc Jacobs</i>, and styled her hair in side-swept curls.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQgJlNFLtxh4NuoiCCYvImpYviR-Id696O6Va0_y2zN5aYS9WZHoDQ1M6SP328TBK8_V-_19eE4lkpU76m46VLwA9Otwv8K7SVDhVfDBzNV4Rk0VC7oXeRfxnj12G0dibG6IHwA2vTZbBq/s1600/wwib1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQgJlNFLtxh4NuoiCCYvImpYviR-Id696O6Va0_y2zN5aYS9WZHoDQ1M6SP328TBK8_V-_19eE4lkpU76m46VLwA9Otwv8K7SVDhVfDBzNV4Rk0VC7oXeRfxnj12G0dibG6IHwA2vTZbBq/s640/wwib1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The 'Marla' dress by Alice + Olivia is currently available for $597</span></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a classically elegant dress, and I think it's almost impossible to go wrong with it as a red carpet choice.

My favourite of the four has to be Taylor Swift, I loved the fit of the dress on her, as well as the matching shaded pumps. <b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">What are your thoughts?</span></i></b></span></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><br /></div><br /></div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Who Wore It Better?</b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>The Stella McCartney Edition</b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br /></b></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's no secret that Stella McCartney has a huge celebrity and supermodel following. Affirming her vast influence and credibility in the industry, Stella received the 'Designer of the Year' award last month at the 2012 British Fashion Awards. This special <i>Stella</i> edition of 'Who Wore It Better' compares a few looks worn and re-worn by the designer's fashion devotees.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br /></b></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Round One</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1FRidsvSpZstWBv37entQ7QjtIJnx6RZmx0dD0GzDC2tCm4oiWxCPTSqT8KTeNJ82dzmLtBx4G_Y9CC69vpONdBec596uhsF99KRovV8Ng93h9E3GpYzC-07IE-UumHZGUHsH8yQ8XgWS/s1600/stella1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1FRidsvSpZstWBv37entQ7QjtIJnx6RZmx0dD0GzDC2tCm4oiWxCPTSqT8KTeNJ82dzmLtBx4G_Y9CC69vpONdBec596uhsF99KRovV8Ng93h9E3GpYzC-07IE-UumHZGUHsH8yQ8XgWS/s640/stella1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Naomi Harris</b> donned this ornately embroidered blue, white and black dress from <i>Stella McCartney's</i> Fall/Winter 2012 collection. The <i>Skyfall</i> actress wore the same croc embossed ankle boots as shown on the runway.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Arizona Muse</b> most recently wore the impressive dress, for a charity event this week. The supermodel styled her look with sheer black tights, sparkly peep-toe sandals and a matching blue clutch bag.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the runway, Australian model <b>Shanina Shaik</b> shows off the long-sleeved, high neck dress.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;"><b>Verdict:</b> </span>I prefer the more simpler styling and lack of tights, so I am going with Naomie Harris in this round.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Round 2</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid6oXXG7B84T4dkzv9UxMxMzVsGlhZXIznSEoDQdYsYKNKtbEcZas_NLePMaoRtiWKKq09R2kQ4Xu-7Ihen91BnSkNv1M5ZHnFfKEzrnuLYaVY2i_dG8-WmG_vkdL_Epd7X_1F_pHzCoDo/s1600/stella2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid6oXXG7B84T4dkzv9UxMxMzVsGlhZXIznSEoDQdYsYKNKtbEcZas_NLePMaoRtiWKKq09R2kQ4Xu-7Ihen91BnSkNv1M5ZHnFfKEzrnuLYaVY2i_dG8-WmG_vkdL_Epd7X_1F_pHzCoDo/s640/stella2.jpg" width="612" /></a></div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Placing two supermodels up against each other in the same dress isn't an easy choice. <b>Karlie Kloss</b> and <b>Kate Moss</b> were both spotted in this figure-flattering little black <i>Stella McCartney</i> dress, which features sheer nude side panels. Kate wears hers with black <i>Christian Louboutin</i> heels, white Karlie opts for strappy sandals. Karlie's dress has been customized to a longer length with velvet inserts added to the see-through sides.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Verdict:</span></b> I have to go with the original supermodel on this one, Kate Moss. This dress looks much better as a mini and more provocative with the sheer panelling.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">Round 3</span></b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKkW4vTg3jXKCrodSphDfcztV3EXyCuuNEXuFbUEMn1QGNpTxCEC7S9Zw9lc6xuilWl88gB6eX0OzUBAt1u3BKitGZx4tVm5ZU2oFnB6JLWt8SLoR3cQjeSXSNRQxtkiRuNNvX8m8LST9n/s1600/stella3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKkW4vTg3jXKCrodSphDfcztV3EXyCuuNEXuFbUEMn1QGNpTxCEC7S9Zw9lc6xuilWl88gB6eX0OzUBAt1u3BKitGZx4tVm5ZU2oFnB6JLWt8SLoR3cQjeSXSNRQxtkiRuNNvX8m8LST9n/s640/stella3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Stella McCartney battles it out with two other British dames in the same Fall 2012 ensemble, which includes a sporty fit-and-flaired studded skirt with matching black and blue neoprene scuba-style top. <b>Stella</b>, singer <b>Louise Rednapp</b> and cyclist <b>Victoria Pendleton</b> all opted to wear the same pair of two-tone platform pumps as seen on the runway.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Verdict:</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"> </span></b>Besides for the fit being impeccable on runway model Daria Strokous, I have to pick Louise from the three ladies, the outfit is most flattering on her.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">Round 4</span></b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRjpjxmZ1EOs-UH5FDaaTJZsCuOt-M-QNQsK_oEQVs62LEQsgS6gMSFhvtvoiWMi2S_L44EFqNa64_jWTLSYzLrXlf2BbYQ90dfYAJw6_P-umLAtc-tuH4tb8Sid9hCi7NIii0NqHe3mvx/s1600/stella4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRjpjxmZ1EOs-UH5FDaaTJZsCuOt-M-QNQsK_oEQVs62LEQsgS6gMSFhvtvoiWMi2S_L44EFqNa64_jWTLSYzLrXlf2BbYQ90dfYAJw6_P-umLAtc-tuH4tb8Sid9hCi7NIii0NqHe3mvx/s640/stella4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">UK actress <b>Gemma Arterton</b> wears a menswear inspired jumpsuit from <i>Stella McCartney's </i>Fall Evening 2012 collection.

After a six-year hiatus, the Galaxy made a triumphant return in 2011, and since it's inception in 2005, it has become a firm red carpet favourite amongst celebrities.

Which of these dazzling divas wears this cobalt blue dress best?</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy-MfdFXTc0RjW_N4e7SEWPtq38makvLokT6jocMvRhDn8xIlKE_zhbtQhpkz0e8Ax3z4OrbN_u99jjYJK6LeFu2KmVC4xxpdHNRmUlzyBgmEiD1lVD1zhgpm824yyz05Hj3q5mg5UFr0u/s1600/wwib.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy-MfdFXTc0RjW_N4e7SEWPtq38makvLokT6jocMvRhDn8xIlKE_zhbtQhpkz0e8Ax3z4OrbN_u99jjYJK6LeFu2KmVC4xxpdHNRmUlzyBgmEiD1lVD1zhgpm824yyz05Hj3q5mg5UFr0u/s640/wwib.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Jennifer Lopez</span></b> gained publicity for her world tour at Pure Nightclub, Caeser's Palace in Las Vegas on 19 August 2012.

Who Wore It Better - The Dianna Agron Edition

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dianna Agron is best known for her portrayal as 'Quinn Fabray' on the popular TV series 'Glee', however, she is quickly gaining fame as a fashion icon in Young Hollywood too. The 26 year old actress faces off in three different looks on this edition of 'Who Wore It Better'. She picks out lovely feminine frocks that either inspires the style of other starlets or which just happen to be carbon copy coincidence. You decide...</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Round One - Stella McCartney</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiNrtH4Kmp8O95xtDU6TAGYeWNJRaee7STJFRgch7VWpmNgK-CpSRpZBrYYQwGZpiOhNSwDR8ABg9i7IjPfqmT3EH39atrZu18icex_1oUCOrIkuWnehd4RTmMlrVETmVCR5WCsFBMSus_/s1600/dianna1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiNrtH4Kmp8O95xtDU6TAGYeWNJRaee7STJFRgch7VWpmNgK-CpSRpZBrYYQwGZpiOhNSwDR8ABg9i7IjPfqmT3EH39atrZu18icex_1oUCOrIkuWnehd4RTmMlrVETmVCR5WCsFBMSus_/s640/dianna1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Dianna</span></b> was the first to wear this elegant black velour-front peplum dress by <i>Stella McCartney</i> back in August 2011. The dress is an impeccable fit on Dianna, this look seems to be made for her. She styled it with cropped waves, <i>YSL</i> Tribtoo pumps and red lipstick.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next is It-Girl <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Miroslava Duma,</span></b> who wore the chic fitted dress to a Glamour Event, along with sleek straight hair, a <i>Bottega Veneta</i> clutch bag & nude <i>Christian Louboutin</i> 'Pigalle' pumps.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Kim Kardashian</span></b> was spotted out in NYC in the same dress almost a year later than Dianna. Kim added gold cuffs and a trendy pair of <i>Christian Louboutin</i> 'Bis Un Bout' PVC and patent pumps. When compared to the other two, this dress doesn't seem the best silhouette for her.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">The Verdict:</span></b> It's a difficult choice between Miroslava and Dianna, as they both looked exceptional in this Stella McCartney dress, but my vote goes to Dianna, it's just the perfect fit.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Round Two - Alice + Olivia</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJQVud2vMEvuJiEHntEYqtSk_0Y8JGKMqacW2AKB-rDtlh-rtgcUhmL_wJsbv5OZI48mh9Apg1AFfsg8vBT_jNMbN5kTGlXXikx6kEWbhKPlbJbeKvPZaNtMsaHoxQPnGnE8G3a2toFmIL/s1600/dianna2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJQVud2vMEvuJiEHntEYqtSk_0Y8JGKMqacW2AKB-rDtlh-rtgcUhmL_wJsbv5OZI48mh9Apg1AFfsg8vBT_jNMbN5kTGlXXikx6kEWbhKPlbJbeKvPZaNtMsaHoxQPnGnE8G3a2toFmIL/s640/dianna2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Dianna</span></b> was the first to wear this <i>Alice + Olivia</i> golden sunflower print dress with box-pleat skirt in April this year, while in New York City. She kept warm with a woolen coat and stepped out in navy blue 'Cosmic' pumps by <i>Jimmy Choo</i>.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We recently saw <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Holland Roden</span></b> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">wear the exact same dress </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">at the last month's Teen Choice Awards (July 2012). The <i>Teen Wolf</i> actress looked pretty, pairing her version with a skinny metallic belt, gold <i>Lauren Merkin</i> clutch and nude 'Pigalle' pumps by <i>Christian Louboutin</i>.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just a week later, jazz singer and actress <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Renee Olstead</span></b> wore the sunflower dress to a Nylon event in LA. Renee picked a pair of <i>Fendi</i> platform pumps to complete her look, and an animal print bandana scarf that leaves much to be desired.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">The Verdict:</span></b> Holland Roden wins this round hands down, her styling was complimentary to the dress and she somehow gave it girlier appeal.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Round Three - Tracy Reese for Anthropologie</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7cJ-Ykevapzhv8DeZl3Kxpx2hmRV7Qec1dSDmiLRbEeaH0jHsVTlZFb3F5EPx5pD48tANhyphenhyphenfVxTMO3wHXnQ4osKorLIroRvzyVT8G86RI1aMHmZkE5Jsw8E_rhZLeCPALKJfUAteoT9Wy/s1600/dianna4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7cJ-Ykevapzhv8DeZl3Kxpx2hmRV7Qec1dSDmiLRbEeaH0jHsVTlZFb3F5EPx5pD48tANhyphenhyphenfVxTMO3wHXnQ4osKorLIroRvzyVT8G86RI1aMHmZkE5Jsw8E_rhZLeCPALKJfUAteoT9Wy/s640/dianna4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /><br /></b></span> <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Dianna </span></b>was eye-catching in a <i>Tracy Reese for Anthropologie</i> 'Impressionist' dress, which she wore in June 2012. The pretty silk-linen digital print dress was paired with a black and silver belt, <i>Coach</i> legacy leather bag, glittery <i>Miu Miu</i> heels and snazzy turquoise sunnies.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Talk about Déja vu - just one day before Dianna wore the dress, Disney actress <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Caroline Sunshine</span></b> wore it to the LA Film Festival on 18 June 2012. The 'Shake It Up' star carried a bright pink clutch to match her pink dip-dyed hair and walked in nude pointy toe heels.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oprah's right-hand <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Gayle King</span></b> picked out this seemingly youthful dress with grassy print hemline for a CBS event last month on 29 July.
