Who wore it best? Posh vs. Elle
By Lucy Hutchings on Wednesday 12 August 2009
Elle Macpherson clearly has a penchant for Posh style - she was spotted for a second time yesterday in one of Victoria Beckham's self-designed dresses.
Sparking yet another who wore it best moment for the fashionistas, Elle first donned Mrs B's designs back in June, when she wore a spring '09 figure-hugging black bandeau.
But she was back, yet again, in a Posh frock yesterday, to film a guest appearance on Mischa Barton's new TV show, The Beautiful Life.
This time delving into the autumn/winter '09 collection, Elle donned the grey Carmontelle dress, a ladylike form-fitting shift with peplum frill waist.
Not the style's first small screen outing, Leighton Meester got into Blair Waldorf mode last month, wearing the cherry red version while filming Gossip Girl on location in New York.
But naturally, neither starlets were the first to step out in the elegant design.
VB gave the number its debut last month, while shooting an ad campaign for her collection in West London.

Like Elle, she added ubiquitous A-list oversized shades, towering black heels and kept accessories minimal.
And so to today's fashion conundrum – who wore it best? Pick your favourite fashionista, and let us know your verdict in the comments box below.

Elle just has the edge, the skirt hugs her beautifully!

Haha - I have never seen anyone look so uncomfortable and out-of-place on a swing before!!!!!!
Comment by Fi on August 12 12:07
Defo Elle, Posh is too skinny
Comment by Nik on August 12 12:33
Elle wears it better.the skirt hangs off
Comment by andrea on August 12 12:35
Posh wins hands done, the dress is too tight on Elle which makes it look cheap.
Comment by Sarah on August 12 12:37
Elle did - by a mile! Victoria is too thin!
Comment by GDB on August 12 12:39
wow... sry vic, but Elle wins hands down!!
Comment by Alexia on August 12 12:42
VB wore it best as hers fits correctly - elle as beautiful as she is, however, needs a larger size in my opinion. Hers is way too tight and makes it look cheaper.
Comment by jen on August 12 12:42
Elle - because she doesn't look like a walking skeleton and actually looks like women should do - with some curves!
Comment by Paula on August 12 12:45
Elle has copied VB's sunglasses and shoes. I'm not a fan of Posh, but blatant copy-cat styling?
And what's that cable going up Elle's skirt?!
Comment by Michelle on August 12 12:46
Elle, Elle, Elle....super glam and sexy!!
Comment by sarah on August 12 12:47
I'm with Elle as well. You definitely need a few curves to show those dresses off to their best advantage.
Comment by Carla Bevan, editor, marieclaire.co.uk on August 12 12:47
Elle, wore it best. Even though it is Victoria Beckham's design, she still looks as though she is trying too hard. Elle carries it off with ease
Comment by sarah on August 12 12:47
Elle pips her - just - the (gorgeous) dress fits her figure perfectly
Comment by lilly on August 12 12:52
Although Posh does look good in this, she is too skinny to carry it off totally, Elle looks amazing! Nice to see some curves!
Comment by Emma on August 12 12:52
Definitely Elle... curves are better!
Comment by Amanda on August 12 12:58
You have to be size 0 to wear Posh's dresses! Even though Elle is ex-model with a beautiful body this dress just wrinkles all over on her! It doesn't fit as it supposed to...
I guess Posh tailors her collection for herself only but not for real women!
Comment by Angy on August 12 12:58
The skirt is too tight on Elle, but not tight enough on Posh! At least Elle's nips are not showing unlike Posh...don't like the dress though. Would look better in an office.
Comment by Caroline on August 12 13:00
Posh looks best, Elle needs to go up a size as the dress is too tight for her.
Comment by nita on August 12 13:02
Elle most definitely! She looks like a woman, not a hairpin with a plastic face!
Comment by Lynn LIsett on August 12 13:03
It fits Elle so much better, it looks really good on her.
Comment by Jade on August 12 13:06
Elle has the better shape for this, go Elle!
Comment by Lou on August 12 13:06
I think Elle fits better... and Vic wears 2 or 3 size more than she really uses
Comment by Ida on August 12 13:07
I agree - Elle.
The skirt needs to be taken in to fit Victoria better.
Comment by Heidi on August 12 13:09
Ellie deffinetly, suits her shape better
Comment by louise doherty on August 12 13:09
There’s just no comparison. Posh is trying way too hard - as always! Elle’s the winner – hands down.
Comment by Milly Dan on August 12 13:09
Elle looks like a woman in the dress, Posh is far to thin and looks like she needs hospitalised.
Comment by jackie on August 12 13:15
Elle cos she fills it better but maybe a tad too tight, Vic is too skinny, no-one wants to look like that
Comment by Nikki on August 12 13:24
I totally agree with Kaz, it is a better fit on Elle. I love Victoria, but the dress is a little bit to baggy around the bottom half.
Comment by Gemma on August 12 13:39
I agree, it looks better on Posh. Elle needs a bigger size skirt.
Comment by Jac on August 12 13:40
Posh looks like a skeleton and not in the least sexy - Elle wins hands down
Comment by Lin on August 12 13:42
I can pnly assume this is a trick question. Elle MacPherson is drop-dead gorgeous, woman shaped, elegant and eminently desirable. Victoria beckham resembles the stick I throw for my dog, is miserable, and from all accounts, famous for being famous, or at least for being married to someone famous.
Comment by shutterbug on August 12 13:47
Oh this outfit definately flatters Elle's figure... she looks very pretty...
Comment by Ema on August 12 13:48
Definately Elle - dress is looking a little tight, but perhaps because she's walking at a pace? Much better on curves, than hanging off Posh's skelaton!
Comment by Margaret on August 12 13:51
This photo shows there's a reason why Elle is called "The Body"
Comment by jenni stevenson on August 12 14:14
I don't like the dress much but I think Elle's curves suit it better.
Most importantly, why is there a wire going up Elle's skirt?
Comment by SarahM on August 12 14:32
This proves curves win!
Comment by Nicola Wilkes on August 12 14:39
WHERE does Elle keep her MP3 player??????? Where's that wire going?
Comment by Gill Smith on August 12 14:51
Actually I am going with Victoria, Elle's is too small for her.
Seriously Elle, there is no shame in going up a size when you are that size!!!
Comment by Tracey on August 12 14:56
I think they both look great - Victoria has proved that she can design clothes that will look great on varying forms. I just wish I could afford them to test out the pear-shape! :o)
Comment by Deborah on August 12 15:45
I think Elle has the healthier figure but Victoria looks best this time. Elle's version is too tight and the fabric is wrinkling - not a good look!
Comment by Lesley on August 12 17:11
Elle looks way better - she fits the dress rather than the dress hanging off VB.
Comment by Liz on August 12 18:45
I'm not a fan of Skinny woman, but for me it's too tight on Elle, and hangs better and sits as it should on Posh, Elle should have got it a little bigger in my opinion and had it taken in if necesary to fit correctly, after all, I@m sure she can afford it!
Comment by Amanda on August 12 19:55
With Posh the dress is wearing her, with Elle she is wearing that dress.
Definitely looks better on Elle
Comment by Sarah on August 12 20:09
I like the dress on both of them! Im not a fan of Posh really but it looks good on her, it looks fantastic on Elle but not sure about it being so tight! Nice to see a real womans figure on a model at last though!
Comment by Haylz on August 12 20:19
Elle look lovely natural better than Posh!
Comment by sevcan on August 12 20:24
Absolutely Elle that dress fits where it must and she looks so very comfotable, confident and sexy
Comment by susan on August 12 20:49
Posh-no contest!
Comment by Paula on August 13 00:19
thats not fair, she's a top model of course her body looks better in that dress
Comment by mimi on August 13 02:52
no doubt, Elle have a edge over posh
Comment by pappu on August 13 07:26
Elle is curvy in it and it looks nicer :)
Comment by Christiana on August 13 13:55
Actually Posh doesn't look as unattractively skinny is this dress as usual probably because it appears there's extra space not filled. However, curves win every time so it's Elle. Agree with comment above, no harm in Elle going for one size bigger - she has a fantastic figure and this outfit is designed by a stick insect.
Comment by cathy on August 13 13:58
Def Elle. Posh is skeletal.
Comment by Allly on August 13 14:08
elle is the best, alway!
Comment by daisy on August 13 14:49
Elle looks the best. Victoria is just too skinny now.
Comment by ali on August 14 19:25
Defiinitely Elle, the dress looks like it was made for her, where as it just looks a bit frumpy on posh.
