Olivia Wilde looked absolutely spectacular at the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards last year. The House actress wore a stunning floor-length gown by Reem Acra from his Spring 2008 collection. The ivory chiffon and satin dress had a twisted sweetheart neckline and beautiful beaded cap sleeves. Olivia’s perfect red carpet look impressed me so much it made my Best of 2008 – Red Carpet Gowns list which I published earlier this year.
Jessica Szohr was filming Gossip Girl with Ed Westwick yesterday where the actress was wearing the same romantic Reem Acra gown. Jessica’s styling instantly made me think of 40s glam as her hair was styled in an elegant retro updo. Bold red lips completed her glamourous look.
This fashion faceoff is pretty easy for me. While I think it’s impossible NOT to look amazing in this breathtaking dress, I definitely prefer Olivia in it. She was oozing perfection and you could see she had a great time showing herself off in this beautiful gown. Jessica’s antiquated updo and the heavy diamond earrings just didn’t cut it for me. What do you think?

My vote goes on Jessica.. She is gorgeous.
olivia’s pose and all is better. jessica’s photo was captured as she was walking, so this is a negativa point, anyone would seem worse than they really are when they are walking off to somehwere, probably not aware that a pic of them is taken. so, olivia.

This is a TIMELESS style which started in the 1940s but still has a very current chic look to it. The cap sleeves are coming back to bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses. The strapless style is still going strong but it won’t be the only mainstay.
Beaded cap sleeves like on this Reem Acra dress are growing in popularity for brides because they look very regal/royal and Kate Middleton has had a little bit of influence in the American wedding industry. So a lot of brides want to add a little bit of “princess” oomph to their style and beaded sleeved are a perfect way to do that without going full Kate copycat.
Thaks for the pics!
