Was that you going through my laundry?

So I had a request to do a "who got it right?" type post so after some research I found a few celebs working the same if not similar looks and who got it right.

First duel is between my fav Ms. Britney Spears and Kim Kardashian wearing the same Dolce and Gabana dress. Both were for photo shoots.

Britney rocks the heavily printed dress w/minimal accessories and black patent pumps and an added sleeve.

Kim wears the dress straight from the runway, literally accessories and color combination.


Both women look beautiful but Kim's heavy accessories are just too much for this dress that could easily stand alone and still be a knock out. Britney shines in the dress but isn't over powered by it, and the extra sleeves make it appear more editorial. The thing about runway looks is that they're meant to be excessive and artsy but very rarely does the whole thing translate to everyday life or even a photo shoot.  Plus the way the dresses are similarly shot is bad news for Kimmy because Britney's Harper's Bazaar issue came out in June. *Winner= Britney Spears

Next is Ashley Olsen and Rihanna both rocking the menswear trend

Ashley's easy silhouette, girly shoes, and harem-ish pants look like she's not trying too hard. The polished low pony and sleek clutch pull the look together.

Rihanna wears a more drastic version of the trend with the high shoulders, puff sleeves on top, and a bow tie. 

Granted Rihanna wore this to the Met Ball in 2010 where all the fashion is very dramatic and for the event a simpler look wouldn't have sufficed, it's just too costume-y. It's too much with the shoulders and the sleeves, and that bow tie. If she would've picked one dramatic detail and stuck with it, it would've done better. Ashley Olsen just looks so well put together and polished. Her look is simple and refined but not boring. *Winner=Ashley Olsen. 

Amber Rose (Kanye's ex girlfriend) and Kim Kardashian both wearing the exact same tribal print dress.

Amber Rose pairs the look with tribal inspired accessories, like her spear-head earrings and beaded bracelet. 

Kim plays off the color of the dress with her shoes and stacked bracelets.

Amber's bright lips and too tight fit make it appear she is trying too hard. The thing about tribal prints is that they have a bohemian vibe so it should come off as easy, Amber's doesn't feel that way. Kim's simple high pony, natural make-up, and effortless shoes feel sexy but not complicated. While Amber deserves an award for putting up with Kanye West, Kim takes the cake this time. *Winner= Kim Kardashian. 

Lindsay Lohan wears the same moccasins as Kate Moss

Going for a quick coffee run, Lindsay works her lace ups with a light blue dress

Kate, also running errands wears hers with jean shorts and a loose brown sweater.

Both girls obviously weren't trying too hard when figuring out what to wear to make a few quick stops but Lindsay's dress looks like something she wore during her stay at Cedars Sinai for exhaustion. Something about the fabric and color of the dress feel creepy to me and don't go at all with the vibe of the mocs. Kate gets it right with the cut off denim jeans and loose fitting sweater, She definitely pulls off the boho-chic look. *Winner=Kate Moss.
