A photoshoot vs. photoshoot fashion faceoff. Mischa Barton wore this green fringed and embroidered strapless dress from the Christian Dior Spring 2009 collection in a photoshoot for Marie Claire’s March 2009 issue. It was not the first time Mischa has worn this dress. Back in January, she wore the same dress when she attended the Christian Dior Spring 2009 Haute Couture Fashion show in Paris.

Freida Pinto has donned the same dress in her spread for Cosmopolitan India’s March 2009 issue. This is the second fashion faceoff from that photoshoot.

The dress looks good on both Mischa and Freida, but I kind of like it more on Mischa as she is really working the dress and seems much more comfortable wearing it.

Cate Blanchett wore this beautiful silver Giorgio Armani Fall 2007 dress on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Australia December 2007 issue looking very ethereal. The cover was perfection and still is one of my favorite magazine covers to date.

One year later Ciara thought it might be a good idea to wear the same dress. What’s particularly funny about her appearance is that she wore the dress to a screening of “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” where Cate Blanchett plays the female lead. I wonder if Ciara knew Cate had already worn this dress and simply wanted to pay tribute to the Australian actress? Who knows.

For once we have a fashion faceoff that’s fairly easy. This dress was made for Cate Blanchett and she wears it so well. No one could outdo her here, not even the model (pictured below).

My favorite top 3 are May (Natalia! Soooo lovely!), March (Kate!) and December (Kate! Again!). The ones I liked least were Uma’s July cover (too generic) and Agyness Deyn for the June issue (Agyness over-exposure!).

Alexa Chung graces the (subscribers) cover of the October issue of ELLE UK shot by Karen Collins. Alexa is wearing my favorite look from the Chanel Resort 2009 collection and I absolutely LOVE it on her. I just wish they would’ve let her wear the chequered shoes that were originally worn with the outfit, but the creatives of ELLE UK probably found them too busy and too distracting for this simple chic editorial.

Here’s a little excerpt from the ELLE interview:

Alexa on Karl Lagerfeld: “I interviewed him, he said. ‘Oh all these people stink’ and then, ‘Not you, I like you, but no-one else.’ I thought, ‘YES! Karl Lagerfeld likes me!”

This is the outfit from the Chanel Resort 2009 collection as it appeared on the runway worn by the infamous Irina Lazareanu.

Wrapped up in a sparkling, skin-tight Cavalli dress, actress and full-time goddess Cate Blanchett graces this month’s special Icon Issue of British Harper’s Bazaar. She’s absolutely divine here, isn’t she? One more reason to love her.

Cate on fashion:

There are people out there who sculpt things on the body. I mean, you spend half an hour with Karl Lagerfeld and he’s so keyed into your current movements, and he’s always expanding himself. He gives you 20 books to read, and you’re enriched. At that kind of level, there’s a really interesting crossfertilisation (of culture) that goes on.

Cate on Hollywood:

In the film industry, there’s this real sense that it’s not just what you’re doing at the time, but it’s where it’s going to lead you. That’s antithetical to the way I think. I’ve always been much more interested in the process, rather than the outcome. It’s taken me a long time to kind of remember that these things come out and they (generate enormous) exposure.

Cate on acting:

It’s a fascinating thing to do with one’s life. It’s sort of like not having to make a choice about how one spends one’s life. You get to have so many different sets of experiences. The journey is immensely broad.

In case you were wondering, Cate is wearing this amazing golden Roberto Cavalli dress from the Fall 2007 collection which was the highlight of the show. So want to have this one!
