Rose Byrne wearing a blue textured Christian Cota Fall 2008 turtleneck dress

Rating: ★★★★☆

I always look forward to seeing Rose Byrne on the red carpet. She has a natural elegance to her and this elegance also reflects on her dress choices. For the screening of Adam in New York yesterday, Rose once more turned to Christian Cota and once again opted for a design from his Fall 2008 collection.

Last time she wore a maroon feathered frock. This time it was a blue textured high-necked mid-length dress with structured shoulders. Rose finished off her look with black patent Brian Atwood pumps and a silver Max Azria clutch. Such an underrated red carpet maven!

Gwyneth Paltrow and Nina Moric wearing the same Balmain Fall 2008 black lace micro mini sequin dress

I will never forget how Gwyneth Paltrow rocked this ultra sexy black lace micro mini dress from Balmain last year at the UK premiere of Iron Man which she wore with a black tuxedo jacket and matching black satin Alexander McQueen sky-high square toe pumps. Gwyneth’s look was perfection and probably one of her greatest looks to date if not the best.

Nina Morić, a Croatian model, opted for the same Balmain number when she attended the 2009 Campari Calendar Launch on December 2, 2008 in Milan. I know the dress is supposed to be a micro mini, but Nina’s dress appeared to be even shorter than Gwyneth’s or the runway version making her look slightly hooker-ish. The fact that she added black fingerless biker gloves à la Karl didn’t help either.

We all may envy both women for their incredibly long and fit legs which indeed deserve to be showed off. However, Nina totally failed to make this LBD work for her. Even though it’s the same dress, both looks are worlds apart in terms of class and attitude. Nina doesn’t even come close. No competition for Gwyneth at all. Do you agree?

Keira Knightley and Dita von Teese wearing the same blue strapless Alexis Mabille Fall 2008 Couture dress

Back in September last year, Keira Knightley arrived at the world premiere of The Duchess in London wearing a blue Alexis Mabille Fall 2008 Couture strapless dress which had bow front pockets and tulle peeking out of the hem and décolleté. Keira completed her romantic look with black patent Moschino square-toe pumps and her famous pout.

Dita von Teese opted to wear the same Alexis Mabille dress when she attended the DSQUARED² Grand Opening Party in Cannes a few days ago. As usual, Dita was picture perfect and her red lips and nails really popped against the blue hue of the dress. Black patent Louboutins completed Dita’s chic ensemble.

First off, I want to make clear that both women look fantastic in this dress. And even though I want to give this one to Keira so badly, I just can’t. Yes, she’s one of my favorite actresses and yes, I absolutely adore her, but her chunky Moschino pumps just didn’t do it for me because they look so wrong with such a romantic dress. Dita however glows and the Louboutin heels were the perfect shoe choice for this dress. Again, Keira, I loooove you, but I must give this one to Dita in terms of fashion. What about you? Do you agree with me?

Eva Longoria, Ali Larter, Maggie Rizer and Kim Min Sun wearing the same Emanuel Ungaro Fall 2008 halter neck chiffon gown

Back in August at the 2008 ALMA Awards, Eva Longoria who hosted the awards show was the first to wear this exquisite pale pink Emanuel Ungaro Fall 2008 halter neck dress. Eva wore a multitude of dresses during the show and changed about 6 or 7 times and this Emanuel Ungaro dress was the most outstanding for me.

Ali Larter was the only one who opted for a different color than the runway version. The actress wore her purple version to the Hollywood Domino Game Launch on November 9, 2008.

Kim Min Sun was beyond beautiful as she walked the red carpet of the 29th Blue Dragon Awards wearing the same blush Emanuel Ungaro dress which she accessorized with beautiful diamond jewelry.

Maggie Rizer closed the circle of the Emanuel Ungaro wearing squad. The model strangely wore the dress with fur wrapped around her neck when she attended the 6th Annual New Yorkers For Children Spring Dinner Dance on April 15, 2009.

What a beautiful dress! It’s so lovely and delicate. Eva looked good, but I think she got drowned by the dress and the rosette detail was a bit much on Eva’s petite frame. Ali also was a beauty in that dress, but I really prefer it in the lighter color, plus I kind of missed the train on her version. Don’t get me started on Maggie. She ruined this dress. Why oh why did she wear that stole? Did the rosette go off of her dress or what? It looked plain wrong. Kim however was a vision. The Korean actress looked statuesque and elegant and simply perfect. This is how a dress should be worn! Winner? Kim without a doubt.

Charlize Theron and Lee Hye Young wearing the same Balenciaga Fall 2008 black dress

Back in June 2008, Charlize Theron wowed the crowds in a Balenciaga LBD when she attended the London premiere of Hancock. The dress had a peplum at the waist and a thigh-high slit on the front side. Charlize completed her look with black Pigalle Louboutins and a grey jeweled box clutch.

I haven’t ever heard of Lee Hye Young before today, but she certainly caught my attention when I saw her wearing the same Balenciaga dress at what must be a premiere or some other event for her newest show Queen of Housewives. The Korean actress went the elegant route and opted for Alexander McQueen Spring 2008 black patent square-toe pumps which have a golden cap toe.

Be surprised or not, but this time I am not going to give it to the A-Lister (even though I think Charlize looks AMAZING as well). Lee Hye Young wore the dress better in my opinion. I like how she made it more elegant by giving the peplum more volume and how she added a dash of color with her red lips. Lee’s shoe choice was also a bit more creative than Charlize’s who opted for plain black Louboutins.
