Dear Readers,

It is that time again! Which celeb rocks an outfit the best? People.com does a great job photographing celebs and matching their outfits in their ‘fashion faceoff’ feature. So I am here to give my opinion on who rocks it and who should drop it.

First up, Gwyneth Paltrow vs. Adriana Lima in a red hot Zac Posen dress. I must admit I had to stare at both photos really hard to be sure it really was the same dress! The fit loks completely different on the two women—on Gwyneth, a nice red number but on super model Adriana, really alluring and hot! Both dresses fall just at the knee and even though the neckline fits Gwyneth lower, on Adriana the dress really pops. She looks curvy and sexy with her red heels adding just the right punch. Gwyneth accessorizes with bangles and teal gladiator sandals with her blonde tresses blown straight, and she looks nice but I gotta give my vote to Adriana. She takes that simple snug fitting red dress to a whole other level! And I really think it is all in the way her bra fits so her breasts are really supported (and perky) whereas Gwyneth actually looks very flat chested to be frank. Just that nuance makes the dress look like a different dress. Ladies this is the power of a great bra!

Next, we have,Emma Watson of Harry Potter fame in a gold Burberry dress vs. actress Eva Amurri in a longer version of the same dress. Emma you are young and cute but you cannot show off your pasty legs like that! She tried to cover up with stockings but it does not work for me. Plus the dress fits her SO poorly. What is going on at the hips? And the addition of the ‘rocker’ type black studded  belt detracts rather than enhances. With such a short dress her body gets chopped up even more with the hard line the belt creates. And the color on her—again her skin is too pale to carry off such a white-washed gold color. It is not flattering—she looks ill! Her black shoes also do not work, maybe it is because the dress is so short and it is stark black against very pale legs with a gold dress but this is a fashion ‘Don’t’ all around. Eva, by contrast looks lovely. The color is on point on her more tanned olive complexion  and the dress fits her perfectly. See the difference a great fit makes? She goes sans belt and it works—we see her lovely figure and she creates the illusion of a more vertical silhouette than Emma does. Her black pointy shoes work well with her legs and the dress and her clutch is a good accent to her ensemble. Great job!

Last, we have Eve and actress Kate Walsh facing off in the same Dolce and Gabbana figure hugging dress. The rapper added leopard-print shoes and gold bangles (matching her locks) and keeps the look pretty simple making the dress the star. Kate Walsh is so beautiful so I am puzzled she would top off a great dress like this with a leather jacket. Huh? It looks sloppy, unsophisticated and like she threw her boyfriend’s jacket on because she was cold. Don’t like her hair and there is too much ‘push-up’ boob action going on. The dress is sexy enough it does not need much help. So my vote goes to Eve (except the ankle monitor she sports is a wee bit disturbing).

Look for more Rock it or drop it celeb face off’s in upcoming posts.
