One Designer, Two Ways: Tibi

Posted by babu 4:15pm GMT

It looks like Blake Lively and Brooklyn Decker have the same sense of talk show style!

While Blake (see Style Steal below) popped in a bright blue Tibi dress for appearances on "The Today Show" and "Live with Regis & Kelly," Miss Decker kept it casual-chic in the same dress (from the Spring 2011 collection), only in white, and a cargo vest for a visit to "Good Morning America."

Both leading ladies looked adorable in their breezy, embroidered dresses (each coincidentally paired with a leopard accessory), so this one's a toss-up for me.

Which style is the right way, and which one needs to hit the highway? You tell me in the comment section below.

One Designer, Two Ways: Stella McCartney

Posted by babu 2:37pm GMT

Just weeks after Iman stole the spotlight in a gold Stella McCartney jumpsuit at the "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty" Costume Institute Gala, Gwen Stefani sported the same sequin style, only in black, at "The Tree Of Life" premiere during the Cannes Film Festival.

While I personally think the Elvis-like jumpsuits belong on stage in Vegas (and not on the red carpet), I like how the black shade and more modest belt in Gwen's style are a bit more subtle so, if I had to choose one over the other, I'd go with hers.

One Designer, Two Ways: Louis Vuitton

Posted by babu 12:58pm GMT

Singer Louise Redknapp looked polished in a sparkly, color-blocked Louis Vuitton blouse and complementary skirt at the recent Nobu Berkeley charity dinner to raise money for those affected by the disaster in Japan.

Chinese actress and singer Fan Bing Bing wore the same blouse, only paired with a longer, solid maroon skirt at the Louis Vuitton Store Opening in Zhengzhou back in January.

While both ladies looked classy in their skirt and blouse pairings, I love how Louise's really captured the spirit of the Spring 2011 collection, so I'm giving this one to her.

One Designer, Two Ways: Stella McCartney

Posted by babu 1:34pm GMT

Just a few weeks after Kate Winslet showed some skin in her spotty Stella McCartney number at the "Mildred Pierce" premiere in New York (see her in Dare to Wear), Liv Tyler took a (slightly) more subtle approach to the designer's Fall 2011 collection in a similar style (with smaller spots and minus the peekaboo thigh) at the launch of the Stella McCartney boutique on Saks Fifth Avenue.

While I appreciate Kate's bold style choice, her full side-split distracts from the rest of her look, so I'm going to have to give this one to Liv.

One Designer, Two Ways: Alexander McQueen

Posted by babu 6:05pm GMT

Pippa Middleton, sister and maid of honor to Kate Middleton (now Catherine Duchess of Cambridge) looked stunning in a creamy, crepe gown designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen at the royal wedding.

If you recall, Cameron Diaz wore a similar version of the gown minus the lace embroidering along the cowl neck and sleeves (also by Alexander McQueen) to the 2010 Golden Globe Awards.

While I'm inclined to say I love the adaptation worn by Pippa because of the ease and grace in which she pulled it off and the magnitude of her event, I must say that I think each version of the dress was fit for its respective occasion.

One Designer, Two Ways: Erdem

Posted by babu 2:58pm GMT

Liana Liberato wore a botanical-print Erdem sheath paired with rad satin peep-toes at the "Trust" screening in Los Angeles in late March, just a little over a month after Rosamund Pike wore a sexier style (same print) from the same collection (Spring 2011).

While both actresses are girly enough to pull of the gardenesque print, I tend to prefer the more modest style as modeled by Liana, as Rosamund's reads a little too "milk maid" for me.

One Designer, Two Ways: Prada

Posted by babu 1:09pm GMT

Kristin Davis wore a colorful, shell-print maxi dress from the Prada Resort 2011 collection at the "Born To Be Wild 3D" screening in New York.

If you recall, Rihanna was the first to debut the breezy print while attending a Miu Miu fashion show in Paris.

While I'm still on the fence about Rihanna's blue sock/red satin pump pairing, I think her playful styling better captured the vacation-bound essence of this dress. I also prefer the plunge neckline, as the rest of the dress is fairly conservative.

One Designer, Two Ways: PETA

Posted by babu 12:42pm GMT

British model Chantelle Houghton recently showed off her love of greens in a mini dress made out of lettuce leaves at the launch of PETA's Vegetarian/Vegan Starter Kit in London.

If you recall, actress Rokhsaneh Ghawam-Shahidi let loose in a fishtail gown made of the same fabric (make that fiber) for a PETA campaign that took place in Leeds last year (find out more about her leafy concoction here).

While both styles are on trend for spring (I mean those bright green, ombre hues and ruffles, hello?!), I'm going to have to give this one to the fishtail gown for creativity.

One Designer, Two Ways: Blumarine

Posted by babu 4:50pm GMT

Months before Khloe Kardashian wore her tribal-print, peek-a-boo gown (from Blumarine) to this year's Critics' Choice Awards, Paris Hilton debuted an almost identical version (sans flyaways) of the same gown at the presentation of Supermartxe in Ibiza, Spain.

While both ladies looked exotic in the flowy, chiffon sensation, I tend to prefer Paris' style, as Khloe's cutoff skirt appears a bit awkward.

Style Showdown: Khloe Kardashian vs. Jessica Alba

Posted by babu 1:18pm GMT

Apparently, Kim wasn't the first Kardashian to steal a red-carpet style.

At this year's People's Choice Awards, younger sister Khloe wore a silver version of the strapless emerald Alexander McQueen worn by Jessica Alba three years earlier to the "Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer" premiere in Mexico City.

I happen to find this dress (find out who else has worn it here) to be universally flattering and, while I prefer the rich, emerald shade in general, I thought the silver worked well with Khloe's newly dyed 'do. This one's a draw for me.

Who looked lovelier in Alexander McQueen?
