We want your verdict! Kate Winslet and Mariah Carey play style snap, but who wins in the fashion stakes?

Every woman knows that the little black dress is a failsafe choice for instant elegance, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that both Kate Winslet and Mariah Carey tapped Zac Posen's floor-skimming stunner for seriously high profile events. February's BAFTA Awards was the night in question for the Brit beauty, where she was not only nominated, but collected the prestigious gong for best actress.

For her winning moment, Ms Winslet teamed the figure-hugging mermaid dress with a chic chignon, diamond drop earrings and a timeless glittering bracelet.

Ms Carey's Posen fashion fix was just last week, when she hit the red carpet for a screening of her new flick, Precious.

Both A-listers kept things simple, sticking to minimal accessories and soft natural make-up, but Mariah chose to leave her locks loose and tumbling.
